THE NEW, RISING SOUND OF THE STREETS GETS FRONT PAGE COVERAGE IN 1980.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on Jeff "Stinky" Turner of East London Oi! punk band COCKNEY REJECTS, on the cover of Reading, UK ‘zine "Grinding Halt" #5, c. 1980.

"The COCKNEY REJECTS must be one of the most earthly, solid punk bands to have arisen in the last couple of years, and one of few to present punk in the way it should be heard. Nowadays bands use all sorts of gadgets which detract from the spontaneity asnd simplicity of the music. THE REJECTS, however resist this and are writing and playing songs in the way groups did some three years ago. This is what they had to say after their set supporting SLAUGHTER."

-- GRINDING HALT punk fanzine #5, Raeding, UK, c. 1980

GRINDING ZINE: "Is the new single (Greatest Cockney Rip Off) a reference to Jimmy Pursey?"

Micky Geggus: No, well it's a bit of a piss take really, like he goes round calling himself the great cockney cowboy and all that but he never goes near the  place,y' know what I mean?

GRINDING HALT: "Did you have an argument with him?"

MG: "Yeah, a bit — let's drop it though 'cos he isn't really worth it. l've had enough of him."

GRINDING HALT: "How did you feel about the press the album got?"

MG: "Well, I was happy with the album and that's all that really matters to me. I reckon it's a good album, and that's good enough for me, the press ain't all that important —  Gary Bushell gave it a good write up though."

GRINDING HALT: "How did the Gary Bushell link come about?"

MG : "Well, basically I sent him a tape and he liked it and it all went from there. But he had to choose between writing and managing and he chose writing 'cos you can't do both properly at the same time."

mhmm, a real danger to society.

omelas but the machine that transmutes the child's suffering into everyone else's utopia is fake actually. there is no relationship between the child in the torture room and the smooth functioning of omelan society, but everyone believes there is because politicians and economists have always said so. everyone congratulates themselves for being serious utilitarian adults who have to make compromises and trade offs. of course omelas is the greatest place to live, look what we've done to achieve it. do you think we'd torture a child if we didn't have to? we make hard choices here. that's how we know they're the right choices, because they're hard. nobody would believe in a utopia without a downside. oh, you have some ideas about the governance of omelas? are you prepared to stain your hands by helping us put the child in the room? no? why should we take you seriously, then? you're obviously a naive idealist who isn't prepared to make hard choices.

anyway here in Australia we are still having an agonisingly protracted argument about whether ten years old is the appropriate age of criminal responsibility above which kids can be put in jail so this is not actually a hypothetical

WERE WRITING SONGS ABOUT "HEADBANGERS" BEFORE THRASH WAS A PIMPLE ON THE ASS OF HEAVY METAL.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Micky Geggus, then teenage guitar hero and co-founder of the East London Oi! punk rock band COCKNEY REJECTS, c. 1980, from the pages of "Grinding Halt" fanzine #5, Reading, UK.

READY TO ROCK: "Give us a brief history of the band."

MICKY GEGGUS: "We formed after the original punk explosion in 1979, and got a deal relatively quickly with a small indie label who released our debut "Flares n Slippers" EP, which stayed in the indie charts for months, and got us headhunted by majors such as Warner Bros and EMI.

Being QUEEN fans, of course we fancied seeing our debut album on the same hallowed label, so we plumped for a 5 album deal with them. Life in the East End of London was never quite the same after that..."

This lil 4 year old from overseas said this in the most sincere way with the most adorable little accent...He really mulled over what the difference between his hands and mine could be. I think about it all the time.

[cryptidstealingyourcreditcard]

some rumors i like to believe the twins spread around berk, starting from most normal and getting progressively more and more weird:

snotlout wears heels to make himself taller

fishlegs didn’t write his dragon cards. they just appeared one day

hiccup is a lycanwing

stoicks hair is red from the blood of his enemies

ruffnut doesn’t cut her hair, she just eats it when it gets too long (spread by tuff)

tuffnut has sexual relations with sheep (spread by ruff)

bucket’s bucket that he wears on his head was the very bucket he was born in

mala pegs dagur (no one knows if this is true or not, including the twins)

stoick is actually two very skinny haddocks in a trenchcoat

gobber’s dragon is actually just a really big toad

hiccup meows like a cat when he gets excited

snotlout’s middle name is *cue every single name that starts with a g except for gary*

astrid made up heather to make it seem like she has more friends and everyone else just went along with it (this was the first and only rumor the twins ever spread about astrid)

ruffnut single handedly took down a whole camp of hunters (spread by ruff)

snotlout has to sleep in someone else’s room when there’s a storm (this one’s actually true)

tuffnut beat the scourge of odin three times with no antidote (spread by tuff)

gobber didn’t actually lose his hand and foot, they’re just really small and inside of the hook/peg leg

ruffnut is actually tuffnut, and tuffnut is actually ruffnut, they were switched at birth (the twins didn’t spread this one, they have no clue who did) (it was fishlegs)

fanghook is actually a girl and gustav just uses masculine terminology for her to be more like snotlout

hiccup got eaten by a dragon as a child and that’s why he’s like this

tuffnuts shoved the entire dragon eye up his ass

dagur IS oswald the agreeable, he just needed a way to cover up the fact that he doesn’t age

feel free to add more if you think of any!!
