Republished: our interview with sound artist Israel Martínez by Errant Bodies Press for 7th of their Doormats series. "Focusing on contemporary issues, events, and discourses, DOORMATS is a series aimed at contributing to the now, talking about issues that are present and that demand presence. The series is concerned with addressing questions of political subjectivity, and how this may find expression as well as forms of mutuality and solidarity in today's global environment..."

Here's a look inside issue 1 via a little 15 second spot we made for a webTV show that never ended up streaming/coming together. Quick re-edit. I heard there's still a few copies left at @printedmatterinc, @other_music, @somrecordsdc, @colette and @doyoureadme_berlin or directly from our website. #magazines #zines #highwaymagazine #commercial #print

"And how many times have we heard that line. Do you think I'm blind to trade my mind for what you call fine. Never in my time, I'm not in your movie.” — Events this week have reminded the magazine of this Bad Brains lyric from their #song “At the movies." Here HR and the band sing it live at CBGBs in #1982. #badbrains #hr #dc #hardcore #punk #music #cbgb #youth #resistance #think #whatwebelieve #dontswaytotheunjust #baltimore

Issue 2 isn't ready yet but here’s a reminder to check out an #original #essay by @chainandthegang titled, "The Fall of College Rock and the Rise of Indie or, #IndieRock as the #Gentrification of Punk" and here's an excerpt: "Just as the #yuppie colonizers took the rough, downtrodden, dangerous, sometimes nihilistic #city neighborhoods which –though crushed by neglect– often housed vibrant #communities, and "flipped" them for big bucks by making them palatable to #middleclass normals, so did #indie #entrepreneurs take #American punk and #hardcore –similarly rough, tawdry, and ignored and reviled by #capital– with its highly effective framework of distributors, #fanzines, concert promoters, and community, and remake it into something which could be sold to #mainstream #rock fans of a certain class; the very people who had been abandoned when #college rock collapsed. The term for this personal, individualist, #capitalist, apolitical, entrepreneurial version of #punk was…” Page 164. #highwaymagazine #music #writing #goodreads #iansvenonius

"I did have aspirations and I always wanted to go beyond our own horizon. I know my #photographs have #inspired those who came after and continue to, but I also want to go beyond that. Always. Not only to make #money, I’m talking about changing people’s #attitudes. A great picture of Black Flag is just going to remind a punk of why they got into it, but it’s not going to change their #attitude. I’m trying to reach new #people, not #limit my #audience. And again, it’s not about the #sales nor the #fame, it’s about waking people the fuck up. That’s what Hip-hop bands in the 80s did to a whole #generation of people: expose them to an understanding of black culture in a way they didn’t know before." Excerpt from our conversation with #photographer Glen Friedman inside Issue 1. #hiphop #punk #hardcore #culture #blackflag #chuckd #henryrollins #glenfriedman #wakeup #magazines #zines

Quote
what I can say is that the heart the artist put into their work, I feel as though I have to put into my work to help share their inspiration and their views with others. If I don’t give what they give, again, why am I doing it? There’s no sense to that. It’s a waste of my time, their time and we are not adding. I’m not here to take from people other than some inspiration to move on. We have the attitude because we know things need to change. We know things can be better. We are not nihilists. We believe in our future and we want it to be a better place, and that’s why we fight for that. We have our goal to share these moments, to share this attitude and hopefully inspire others that something needs to be done. We need to move forward and this is the way we express ourselves.
Photographer Glen E. Friedman talking inspiration and work ethos inside Issue 1
