English | May 08, 2018 | ASIN: B07CL5PFNB | M4B@64 kbps | 5h 22m | 136 MB
Authors: Phil Marcade, Legs McNeil, Debbie Harry | Narrator: David de Vries
Punk Avenue is an intimate look at author Paris-born Phil Marcade’s first ten years in the United States where he drifted from Boston to the West Coast and back, before winding up in New York City and becoming immersed in the early punk rock scene.
From backrooms of Max’s and CBGB’s to the Tropicana Hotel in Los Angeles and back, Punk Avenue is a tour de force of stories from someone at the heart of the era. With brilliant, often hilarious prose, Marcade relays first-hand tales about spending a Provincetown summer with photographer Nan Goldin and actor-writer Cookie Mueller, having the Ramones play their very first gig at his party, working with Blondie’s Debbie Harry on French lyrics for her songs, enjoying Thanksgiving with Johnny Thunders’ mother, and starting the beloved NYC punk-blues band The Senders.

New Punk Cinema


Free Download Nicholas Rombes, "New Punk Cinema "
English | ISBN: 0748620354 | 2005 | 224 pages | PDF | 2 MB
New Punk Cinema is the first book to examine a new breed of film that is indebted to the punk spirit of experimentation, do-it-yourself ethos, and an uneasy, often defiant relationship with the mainstream. An array of established and emerging scholars trace and map the contours of new punk cinema, from its roots in neorealism and the French New Wave, to its flowering in the work of Lars von Trier and the Dogma 95 movement. Subsequent chapters explore the potentially democratic and even anarchic forces of digital filmmaking, the influences of hypertext and other new media, the increased role of the viewer in arranging and manipulating the chronology of a film, and the role of new punk cinema in Descriptionting a course beyond the postmodern. The book examines a range of films, including

Sober Living for the Revolution Hardcore Punk, Straight Edge, and Radical Politics


Free Download Gabriel Kuhn, "Sober Living for the Revolution: Hardcore Punk, Straight Edge, and Radical Politics"
English | 2010 | pages: 305 | ISBN: 1604860510 | PDF | 15,2 mb
Examining the multigenerational impact of punk rock music, this international survey of the political-punk straight edge movement-which has persisted as a drug-free, hardcore subculture for more than 25 years-traces its history from 1980s Washington, DC, to today. Asserting that drugs are not necessarily rebellious and that not all rebels do them, the record also defies common conceptions of straight edge’s political legacy as being associated with self-righteous, macho posturing and conservative Puritanism. On the contrary, the movement has been linked to radical thought and action by the countless individuals, bands, and entire scenes profiled throughout the discussion. Lively and exhaustive, this dynamic overview includes contributions from famed straight edge punk rockers Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and Fugazi, Dennis Lyxzén of Refused and the International Noise Conspiracy, and Andy Hurley of Fall Out Boy; legendary bands ManLiftingBanner and Point of No Return; radical collectives such as CrimethInc. and Alpine Anarchist Productions; and numerous other artists and activists dedicated as much to sober living as to the fight for a better world.

Punk and Revolution Seven More Interpretations of Peruvian Reality


Free Download Punk and Revolution: Seven More Interpretations of Peruvian Reality By Shane Greene
2016 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 0822373548 | PDF | 11 MB
In Punk and Revolution Shane Greene radically uproots punk from its iconic place in First World urban culture, Anglo popular music, and the Euro-American avant-garde, situating it instead as a crucial element in Peru’s culture of subversive militancy and political violence. Inspired by José Carlos Mariátegui’s Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, Greene explores punk’s political aspirations and subcultural possibilities while complicating the dominant narratives of the war between the Shining Path and the Peruvian state. In these seven essays, Greene experiments with style and content, bends the ethnographic genre, and juxtaposes the textual and visual. He theorizes punk in Lima as a mode of aesthetic and material underproduction, rants at canonical cultural studies for its failure to acknowledge punk’s potential for generating revolutionary politics, and uncovers the intersections of gender, ethnicity, class, and authenticity in the Lima punk scene. Following the theoretical interventions of Debord, Benjamin, and Bakhtin, Greene fundamentally redefines how we might think about the creative contours of punk subculture and the politics of anarchist praxis.

English | ISBN: 1781351120 | 2014 | 176 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
So what is Punk Learning? It is a philosophy that details the importance of why all students should be allowed complete control of their learning. In Never Mind the Inspectors Tait justifies why we need Punk Learning, explains the philosophy behind the box ticking lessons that teachers are advised to deliver to appease Ofsted and how we should not be doing anything because the ‘inspectors will like it’, but because it’s the right thing to do in a 21st century classroom to get the best out of all our students. Tait helps you discover how to create Punk Learning, offers ideas on how teachers can creatively inspire students to become self-regulating Punk Learners that take complete control of their learning, making it relative and memorable, so that it matters to them. For anybody with an interest in learning, teaching and doing things differently!
