To Donna, from Wiki:
"Mass media is a term used to denote, as a class, that section of the media specifically conceived and designed to reach a very large audience (typically at least as large as the whole population of a nation state). It was coined in the 1920s with the advent of nationwide radio networks and of mass-circulation newspapers and magazines."
The fact that it is a music paper covering a band does not mean it is not "mass media".
The fact that the single was debated in Parliament indicates to me that they ruffled a few feathers, as well.
The fact that you're choosing to have this argument indicates to me that you feel, at the very least, ambivalent on the issue.
The fact I've been on here all day means I've done no work so I'm off now
And, no I don't know what Conflict are like now RB, chance your arm mate and give us your opinion

No. It means it's specialist media. "pop music magazine covers pop group" is not really a sensation I'm afraid. Not a significant fact at all.Paulie Tandoori said:
As I say: in 1982, at the end of our period. Very much a nine-day wonder, albeit several days shorter.Paulie Tandoori said:
Meanwhile almost every day for years, the papers were running stories lying about Tony Benn.

To paraphrase Public Enemy, Tony Benn never meant shit to me. Seriously.

I'm quite prepared to believe you. And that's one of the things about the anarcho-punk fringe: not interested in much outside what they and people like them do. Not surprising then that they have such a high opinion of themselves.

Yep, RTS called for a 2 Day Festival of Resistance, coinciding with a March for Social Justice shouting about the dockers along with some other striking workers. One of the best days out I can remember tbh, raving in Trafalgar Sq with my kids on my shoulders. Happy daze

Yep, that's right Donna, all those anarcho-punks, they're all the same aren't they...
Sometimes (direct) actions speak louder than words.

sometimes you are such a fucking hypocrite. You'll rail against people generalising on one thread, and then trot out specious bollocks like this on another.

You, Dub, need to grow up a little. Stop calling other people "hypocrite" because they don't agree with your opinions. It's aggressive and unnecessary (although it is a substantial improvement on "cunt"). I have a great deal experience of the anarcho-punk people: much of it from the period under discussion, much of the rest of it on here. This entitles me to make some generalisations - against which, I do not believe I have "railed" - provided I am aware that I am doing this and provided I am aware of their limitations.Dubversion said:
I've said over and again on this thread that one cannot come to fixed conclusions in areas like this: but I've also said that you can't just take the opinions of a few people of similar viewpoint and say that well, this must be true. I could - as you are well aware - do the same with any other viewpoint, be contradictory to yours or aligned with it or anywhere between the two.

Crass without a shadow of a doubt, I thought Conflict were more into their hairdos and bullet belts than anything else.

Aye ive been listeing to the live side of "Stations".and yes i agree. Crass cant play live. But then again they were not musicians of any sort.i think the only member that could REALLY play was Pete Wright on Bass. And Penny Rimbaud only really uses one drum. But the thing is. It worked.and the way they spliced Radio peices into the songs was Great. Crass were not supposed to sound Nice.but as said in a above post. I got brought up with That type of music. My brother had Feeding the 5000 and Reality asylum and The Poison Girls Persons Unknown singles. So when ye hear them from when you are about 5 or 6. Ye become Used to it.it becomes Normal.lol
