Have a Crap Punk Christmas From all at DIE or D.I.Y?
What is Crap punk you ask? It's punk rock by people too disenfranchised by fashion to have been in the despicable Bromley Contingent. It's punk rock from the provinces, where the kids genuinely couldn't afford a leather jacket,or any instruments.It doesn't sound like bad heavy metal.It's ideologically confused and politically neutral.It was made by kids who had no choice but to Do it themselves, and perfect the art of doing a guitar solo without a guitar.It can include 'Fake Punk'(Mary Monday,Alan Milman Sect,FU2), which was often better than 'Real Punk' (Sex Pistols,Clash).It was from council estates and suburban cess pits,and not art schools. But the main point is, that it is still capable of making henry and henrietta normal angry.
Which would clear a room between "Anarchy in the Uk" or Keine Namen's "Can I Have a Light?" ???
The Sex Pistols is something that's played at nouveau riche Fondue Soireé's jn the 21st century, whereas the atonal racket of Keine Namen would cause ex-punkers Rupert and Caroline to drop their bread in the cheese, and lisp angrily what had happened to the Thex Pithtols? Then sing along to Vic Reeves' "I Remember Punk Rock", totally missing the irony.
So Die or DIY? has stuck together a C-90 mixtape, using an old cassette copy of one of thee main
causes of Rock'n'rolls rebirth; Rick Wakeman's "Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table".Play this while you eat your brussel sprouts this merry midwinter festival, and think of what might have been,and
what still can be.
I know The Adverts got in the charts, but they were probably the most musically incompetant of the first wave of punk bands,and this demo version
is virtually a call to arms for all Crap Punks everywhere.
The Thought Criminals' "I wont Pay For Punk Records" is undoubtedly the national anthem of Die or DIY?,and concisely captures the basic philosophy of this blog in the poetry contained within those lyrics.
Australia was a close second place to the UK in the Crap Punk stakes; and Oz's finest ,the Victims, can be proudly crowned as the first Hardcore band, and not the Middle Class(USA) as is so often touted(and what about Wire?).
I could go on all day, but to paraphrase the immortal words of The Scabs...."Fuck off and Leave me Alone!"

Fucking Mediafire make me sick! Its seems to work though, and there are no copyright infringement markers. Try refreshing your browser. I'm uploading it to another host anyhow. I will do all i can to ensure you have a crap punk christmas.
Hang on i've seen a big 'C' for copyright next to the file!!!!??? What the fuck are they talking about? I'm switching it to other hosts. How dare they ruin my self-appointed role as the crap punk santa claus
try it now?
It works! Christmas is saved! Children everywhere are overjoyed!
Thanks for re-posting!
"Ho Ho Belch! Merry fucking Christmas everyone! Merry fuuuuuucccccckkkkking Christmassssssssss!" (the sounds of vomiting and Rudolph hanging himself are heard in the distance)
Paraphrased from Hans Christian Anderson's dumber brother's classic novella: "The Legend of the Crap Punk Santa Claus"
It's an honour for He's Dead Jim to make it onto the compilation! Some notes for listeners: A.B.O.D. stands for Atom Bomb OverDose. This was not an anti-nuclear anthem, it was a hymn to intoxication. Atom Bombs were/are a 'cocktail' created by mixing Special Brew and cider to create a foul-tasting pint of nuclear-strength snakebite. 'OD' was generally achieved after only four or five of these, making the Atom Bomb excellent value. The line in the chorus 'I'm too fucked to drink' was of course a riposte to a band favourite at the time, the Dead Kennedys' 'Too drunk to fuck'.
Ace comp!Our crap punk band Noise Annoys supported Those Intrinsic Intellectuals at the T.A.Drill Hall here in Stornoway around 1980.
Hi Monty,

I've still got a few copies of our self-released single in the wardrobe...I'll send you one...just keep pestering me 'cos I always forget shit...age...
Hi, Monty,
Thanks for the offer of a Noise Annoys Single. This would be greatly appreciated. And a post on this site will up yourr profile considerably.
E-mail me and i'll give you my address.
See in my profile for the e-mail address.
In fact here it is jonnyzchivago@yahoo.co.uk
My friend, Neil, has rekindled many, er, happy memories of Atom Bomb consumption back in the day, usually featuring all the members of the band. The Atom Bomb as a beverage had the unusual distinction of tasting like puke both as being quaffed and indeed making an inevitable reappearance some hours - or occasionally seconds - later.
So repugnant was the taste that it was de rigeur to crush Polo Mints in the mouth to get the first one out of the way.
And they certainly carried the guarantee, as the lyrics of "ABOD" aver, that "magic turns to tragic and you wish you'd never been born".
Simpler times.....
HI, I'VE DISCOVERED RECENTLY YOUR BLOG, AND IT'S JUST AMAZING. WEIRD, CRAPPY, NOISY STUFF.
THANKS!
I couldn't have summed up this blog better myself. Except me being a humble kinda chap, i would have left off the word amazing. But feel free to use it your self in reference to this site.
Happy new year.
great compilation! please, can you up the adverts demos? the sound here is the best i´ve heard.
Hi,for the adverts deom's click on the link in the adverts name in the track listing,should take you to Music Ruined My Life blog. If the download is still available.If not i'll post 'em next for ya.
very kind! because the link isn´t avaible yet. i had already the demos but their sound is quite disappointing in comparison to the version that appears on the compilation.
by the way, i´m very interested in the "fake punk" thing, but i´ve never managed to hear charlie drake. would it be possible to post "super punk" or some of the lovely pastiches that you and the other guy mentioned in the "woolworths mix" post?
