N.O.T.A.

01. N.O.T.A. - Live At The Crystal Pistol, 1983 CD Reissue      Prank - PRANK 042      Reissue from 2000 02. N.O.T.A. - N.O.T.A., 1985 Vinyl LP Album      Rabid Cat Records - RAB-NOTA-006 03. N.O.T.A. - Give 'Em Enough Dope, 1996 CD Album      Unclean Records - 10039-2 Zer of the above! Among other marvels from the classic Welcome To 1984 compilation, I was strongly hit by the N.O.T.A. blazing track. Propaganda Control kicks so much zer!  80s hardcore punk at its zerrest! Their album remains a large stone in that division for anyone into the FU's and Offenders. Give Em Enough Dope is more of a UK punk rock sounding thing and will stimulate the glands of anyone that has ever sported red hair. But let me just blast the 1985 album again! Back to the future! PS: track 1 on Give Em Enough Dope is blank in the rar, get the real one here. Remove brackets and unzip: [z.e.r.] !ZER N.O.T.A. ZER! In the series "let's read the religious best-sellers", after the bible and the koran I just finished Thomas Piketty's Capital Au XXIe Siècle (Capital in the 21st Century). I was expecting something at least a little challenging, maybe even philosophically sound as the thing has become the bible of the cult of the State since its publication. But no, this is neither an economy book, nor even a historically accurate text, this is rather the militant writing of an arithmetically competent yet praxeologically impaired accountant with an opinion. It is like reading an astrologer attempting to write an astronomy essay. It is really frightening that such a piece of propaganda got so much credit and influence in the media and the political arena, but it figures: Rothbard explained long ago the role of "the intellectuals". Confirmed. Make up your own mind, both versions (original French & official English translation) can be downloaded as PDF from the books page, bottom section. Next.

N.O.T.A.

none of the above, 1985 give'em enough dope, 1996 In 1984 I bought the legendary Maximum Rock'N'Roll compilation, which opened me the door on a world of unbelievable bands for which the term "classic" was especially coined - Raw Power, Rattus, Terveet Kâdet... and N.O.T.A., whose "propaganda control" is such a hardcore prototype I had it on all mix tapes to school...

N.O.T.A. on MySpace N.O.T.A. on KFTH This is unrelated, but very funny, I just came accross a "Christian hardcore" website. If you're bored and need a laugh, go read it. Fuck yeah, there is a forum too, "Where you can have candid discussions about God, music, and upcoming shows". Ah, the album reviews... sample: "I can tell you that my email conversations with the band have been really positive and that they are all in for Jesus. It shows in their music too.". Oh shit, forum intro: "Do I have to be a Christian? No, if you are here and you are not a Christian, then there is a reason that Jesus brought you here. Do I have to like Christian Hardcore, Punk, Ska and Oi? No, you can learn how Christ is using these genres of music to reach new believers I reserve the right to pull or edit any listing, revoke any posting privileges, or remove you from membership status. Let's have some good clean fun." Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............. Yeah it is not nice to poke fun at slow people, but this one looks even better than a metal forum. I think I'm going to sign-up.
