Propagandhi (Official Thread)

[Carlo Marx]

Rocks.

that's all i needed to say.

[kirbs84]

I did not like Potemkin City Limits

[Carlo Marx]

It was different. I'd say it felt like Judas Priest doing a punk album. Still loved it though.

[FourdyOz]

YES! less talk...more rock

[Darren McLeod]

amazing band.

[chrisxxtina]

i fucking LOVE them. ladies night in loserville is quite possibly one of my favorite songs.

[aNaRcHy_BuRgEr]

fucking awesome band. i would kill to see em live

[XpunkXroutineX]

I wanna see them live. someday.

preferably before I die.

one of my all-time favorite bands.

[Ryan Damage]

I did not like Potemkin City Limits

I have to agree with this, I never listen to this album. I'll take Today's Empires, Tomorow's Ashes any day of the week, though.

[XpunkXroutineX]

I have to agree with this, I never listen to this album. I'll take Today's Empires, Tomorow's Ashes any day of the week, though.

i love 'em both the same.

[decom_poseur]

I dont think this band has ever failed to deliver

[Darren McLeod]

I dont think this band has ever failed to deliver
agreed.

[decom_poseur]

agreed.


I would like to take this opportunity to give you the props you deserve for banning Punkyspoon!

:beerbros:

[Carlo Marx]

:beerbros:

Fuck Yeah!

[uh oh smmoreo]

Downloading their discography was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. Did it completely on a whim, but I was not disappointed at all.

[RomeoAGoGo]

Amazing band.

I enjoyed Potemkin despite all the criticism.

[TheSkunk]

yeah i would of never heard of this band if it wasn't for the alexisonfire must have list on their website. They promoted one of their songs.. i checked them out and bought Potemkin City Limits.. and yeah they're pretty good but the album is nothing spectacular

[Ryan Damage]

You should check out some of their earlier albums, much better stuff.

[b3n5p34km4n]

whats so bad about potempkin city limits? i like it..its just more cereal than their other albums.

[Ryan Damage]

I think it's really boring compared to the rest of their albums. All of the songs sound too similar and it just hasn't been able to hold my interest.

[XpunkXroutineX]

pdrcHP4sHA4

so good.

[AP_Punk]

Yay! I'm excited for this (http://g7welcomingcommittee.com/discography/g7050.php).

[AP_Punk]

Propagandhi recently to hit the studio to record two new tracks and are promising their release shortly. Bassist Todd Kowalski posted a lengthy journal entry and said:

[We] are going to be whipping up a thrashing frenzy and laying it down in solid form for you to listen to in the very near future. Two tunes.

Color me excited.

[Carlo Marx]

After several listens t Potemkin I was in love with it. It took a while to get into but it's totally fucking solid from start to finish. My all time favorite Propagandhi album would have to be Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes.

[AP_Punk]

Fuck yes!

And that's cool, my favorite Propagandhi album would also be TE,TA.

Chris wants YOU to vote for him as "The Worst Canadian in Canadian History (http://www.thebeaver.ca/bea.asp?subsection=ext&page=WC)".

Hello balls, Chris here.

I just heard on CBC Radio that Canada’s prestigious history magazine The Beaver (not to be confused with our very own prestigious walking history magazine The Beaver) is hosting a contest to decide who is Canada’s Worst Canadian.

We once asked you to vote for us to win a song-writing prize and we won it.

We once asked you to vote Kowalski the world’s sexiest vegetarian and he almost won it.

Now i’m asking you to vote me — Chris Hannah of Propagandhi — the Worst Canadian. It is the one thing in life that I actually pride myself on.

I don’t stand during Oh Canada, I don’t support Canadian troops, i cheer for Sweden in international hockey tournaments, I hate Wayne Gretzky, I side with First Nations against the Canadian state, I fantasize out loud of the decimation of the Canadian animal exploitation industry and I wish Great Big Sea would die horrible, languishing deaths in a capsized ferry incident. The proof is in my pudding my fellow shitizens. I am THE worst Canadian and you know it.

Please, do the right thing. Vote for me as The Worst Canadian in Canadian history. It’s the only patriotic thing to do.

Haha, I love these guys.

[TheOtherAndrew]

ahahahaha that's awesome. I just voted for him.

[AP_Punk]

ahahahaha that's awesome. I just voted for him.

Haha, me too.

[AP_Punk]

This band needs more love around here.

EDIT: Whoa, this threads almost a year old.

[Troggy]

yeah how to clean everything & today's empires are both sweet.

and less talk more rock, how is that not the best album title ever.

[AP_Punk]

haha, so true.

[AP_Punk]

They're doing a little tour with Hiretsukan and GFK. Sounds fuckin' fantastic!

I'd really love to see this, but the closest they're playing for me is in Denver, CO on the 30th of May. Hmm...

[AP_Punk]

Worst Canadian Update:

Hello dedicated supporters! I just received word from an amused number cruncher at the Worst Canadian competiton that, thanks to your votes, i am currently ahead of both Stephen Harper and Celine Dion as said Worst Canadian! In a revealing and suprising turn of events, i am somehow behind Dr. Henry Morgentaler. At least I am in good company as regards the Doctor. Keep voting for me peeps!

Haha, that'd be really cool if he wins.

[AP_Punk]

Live from Occupied Territory is bad ass. Anyone else see the DVD yet?

I feel like I'm talking to myself in this thread. :-(

[decom_poseur]

I still havent seen it, but its only a matter of time

[AP_Punk]

They're tour kicks off today (well, tomorrow actually). Anyone going? A setlist would be nice to see sometime soon.

[lew_1987]

Potemkin City Limits is a good album i think. not as good as todays empires though

[HeyCoffeeEyes]

They are playing Minneapolis next Saturday. But I have a fucking final exam. I am so pissed I can't even handle it.

[AP_Punk]

I want to see them on this tour so bad.

[Anderson]

Yeah me too, I just said in the bands you want to see thread that I had tockets for them last year but it was in the middle of our busiest period at work I was so exhausted that I just got home and fell stright to sleep. :-( Hopefully they'll come back to the UK soon.

[RyanDamage]

I'm going to see them tomorrow night. I cannot wait. Not only Propagandhi but Hiretsukan also? Fuck yes. Hiretsukan is probably one of my favorite live acts, it's going to be an amazing show.

[AP_Punk]

With Hiretsukan and GFK! It sounds like it's going to be an awesome show. You lucky punk.

Hope you have fun. Post a setlist or something later after the show.

[AP_Punk]

Swt! I love it. They were so bad ass.

:headbang:

I wouldn't mind owning the original two 7 inch singles by Swallowing Shit. But it's gotta be impossible to find those these days.

haha. try talking to the rod at a show, see if he's got any sitting in his garage somewhere. I was reading an interview with St. Paddy where he said that before a recent tour of theirs, he found a box full of the girlfriends and bubblegum 7 inch.

Holy shit! Haha, that's cool. I really want to see Propagandhi. The closest their playing to me is in Denver on the 30th. But I don't think I'm goin to make it. :-(

I wish they had a New Mexico date on this tour.

you have to go see them man! they don't come anywhere even remotely near me, it blows.

[AP_Punk]

you have to go see them man! they don't come anywhere even remotely near me, it blows.

Definitely one band that I've always wanted to see. And they're touring with GFK and Hiretsukan. Goddammit, that sounds so fucking sweet. If only I had my own vehicle. Hmph.

I think a Propagandhi/The Weakerthans tour would be glorious, btw.

I'm seeing the Weakerthans in June!

[AP_Punk]

:whine:

[Carlo Marx]

:whine:

hahaha. it's totally by accident too. my roommate got us tickets to see ween play the school of rock festival, and when i checked the line-up, who do i notice scheduled to play? mother fucking weakerthans. it's fate.

[AP_Punk]

Lousy Fate not letting me see either bands (yet). But that's cool. I wonder if The Weakerthans will play any new material by then? Hm.

And I think Propagandhi are going to be playing some new stuff (?). I think that's what they posted in one of their updates on their site. I wanna to see how they are now with the new guitarist, The Beaver. Damn.

[RyanDamage]

Propagandhi completely blew my mind, probably one of the best bands I have ever seen live. They played a lot of old stuff which was amazing, a bunch off Less Talk and a couple off How To Clean Everything.

What a fucking amazing show. Excpet for GFK that was some of the worst shit I've ever seen. They sounded horrible I really hope that's not what metal is expected to sound like anymore.

[AP_Punk]

You're so damn lucky. That sounded great. I have to see these guys.

I'm doing a Weakerthans boat crusin out of NY in June. It was a gift from my grandmother haha

And I'm supposed to be going to the Phropagandhi show in MN (with Hiretsukan and GFK) but I think I'm going to have to cut my time up there short so I think I'm going to miss them once again.

Haha, I remember when they were going to be on that Rock Against Bush comp. that they were going to use this song but change the title to "Free John Hinkley!". Awesome song title, btw.

Sad news from the road (http://www.timesdispatch.com/cva/ric/news.apx.-content-articles-RTD-2007-06-04-0207.html)

We got home safely from an otherwise awesome trip through the midwestern states to learn the terrible news that some peeps who made a road trip from Virginia to come rock with us in Kentucky did not make it home. Cayce Castelow, Benjamin Hutson and Joseph Amoury were killed in a car accident on their way back to VA. If these were the same Virginians i spoke to after we played, i can tell you they rocked hard and seemed like pretty rad young muthas. I can only imagine that their friends and families are devastated by the news. Our sincere condolences to all y’all. Peace.

That sucks.

[AP_Punk]

WORLD REFUGEE DAY JUNE 20TH (from Jesus H. Chris on June 8th, 2007) (from Propagandhi website)

From our man Bill at Crescent Fort Rouge United Church here in Winnipeg, where the Raza family continues to seek sanctuary from deportation back to Pakistan where they face persecution:

Wednesday, June 20th is World Refugee Day. A rally is planned for 7:30 that evening at Crescent Fort Rouge United Church (corner of Wardlaw & Nassau in Osborne Village). The purpose is to show support to the family and to remind the Government of Canada that their claim for refugee status here in Canada has wide support.

It is a “rally” not a fundraiser and is open to all who want to show support. Some prominent community leaders will bring brief messages of support and several artists have offered their talents to entertain. Confirmed artists include Shawna Dempsey, Cara Luft, Nathan Rogers, & Jeff Preslaff. Bringing messages of support from the wider community are Joyce Milgaard, Marty Dolin, Jennifer Howard, David Ball and others.

The family is in their 10th month living in sanctuary and still awaiting word from the Government of Canada on their Humanitarian & Compassionate application. There is room for more than 700 - please come and get the word out so that others can come too. We want to send a strong message that people care.

[AP_Punk]

A Little Summer Update:

So, What’s new since I last talked to you?

I mean in your life not mine. Eh!

We’re hard at it over here, choosing to use summer as our musical fiesta! So when we’re not trying to find ways to sneak off to various beaches we are hard at work on the tunes. It’s very, hot here right now which reminds me today that soon we will be in Beautiful South America. The dates and plans are being set as I type so if anyone has anything to say speak now or forever hold your piece. haha…

Our friend, Analia, has made this webpage for Argentina (http://www.propagandhi.com.ar/)

Our Friend, Erica, has made this website for Brazil (http://www.propagandhi.com.br/)

And our good buddy, Cesar, has made this site for South America (http://www.myspace.com/propagandhisa)

Keep in mind that we have NO Myspace page of our own. All the ones put up are by people who listen to the band. So when some of them claim to be us talking it’s not. Cesar is the most official one, as you can see by the link to Razor, and Sacrifice. Haha.. If you want to email the band do it here on our page, not to peoples’ Myspace pages, unless it’s Cesars page. We appreciate anyone putting up a page for us, it’s just not us, that’s all.

Take care, everybody, enjoy the summer!

Sweet.

[AP_Punk]

Chris places second in Worst Canadian in History:

In what I allege to be a complete and utter mockery of the democratic process, The Beaver magazine has proclaimed former Canadian Prime Minister (and current dead guy) Pierre Elliot Trudeau the Worst Canadian In History (http://www.historysociety.ca/bea.asp?subsection=ext&page=WC). They contend that Trudeau narrowly edged me out by a few hundred votes. Excuse my French, but…

AS IF.

It is now apparent that a concerted and forceful program of fraud and abuse was enacted with either the leadership or cooperation of the Beaver Editorial Staff.

As a concerned citizen, a poor sport and of course as the true worst Canadian, I ask that you do everything diplomatically possible to have Beaver Magazine arrange for an honest RECOUNT in the presence of international observers.

Thank you.

Chris

ps. I beat Stephen Harper. I actually beat Stephen Harper.

Hahahaha. Amazing.

[AP_Punk]

I want a Propagandhi shirt. but they're all almost out-of-print nowadays.

[AP_Punk]

I saw one on ebay not so long back but I got outbid.:-(

Yeah, I always miss out on those too.

There's one up at Interpunk that I want.

[AP_Punk]

I love the little interlude in "Fuck Machine". Great little piece of pop punk.

[Carlo Marx]

I wish they'd put out a new album already.

[AP_Punk]

Me too, Ryan. Me too.

Hopefully there'll be something next year!

[Carlo Marx]

Me too, Ryan. Me too.

Today's Empires ftw. best propagandhi album.

[AP_Punk]

Today's Empires ftw. best propagandhi album.

I was thinking about their albums today and that was the same decision I came to. :nod:

[AP_Punk]

But their other albums still kick ass too.

Just recently came across this old, old live video of 'em back in '94.
cZ85ZjOg8wc

[Carlo Marx]

dang homie, is that john k. on bass?

[AP_Punk]

Yes, sir. And looks like their old drummer on drums too. Crazy.

[AP_Punk]

And I Spy were pretty damn awesome too. Still trying to get that Propagandhi/I Spy splilt 10". I always miss out though whenever it's up on eBay.

I have the CD of it, but the liner notes say that the vinyl record of it is better. :-)

[doxastic]

Are these guys still touring and doing stuff? I loved these guys back in the day.

[AP_Punk]

Yeah, I think they just finished a tour in South America.

High five!

You should definitely check out their other releases. Less Talk, More Rock is probably the only one similar to How To while the rest have a more "heavier" sound. All are great though.

And as I said before: Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes - Best/My favorite 'gandhi album.

I was listening to Potemkin City Limits most of today. It was totally radical, dude!

[versus_god]

Fat's got How To Clean Everything on gold wax up for sale on their site.

[AP_Punk]

holy shit

[Carlo Marx]

The more i listen to Potemkin, the more I like it. At this rate, it may surpass Today's Empires.

[AP_Punk]

Order complete! :excited:

[Carlo Marx]

I need a record player

[AP_Punk]

I thought the news about the re-press was funny. Especially Chris's comment.

We’re really sorry about the new NOFX live LP being delayed so we decided to put it on sale along with the next installment of the Fat Classic colored vinyl series, Propagandhi’s How To Clean Everything, on conflict-free gold vinyl! I don’t even want to hear your sorry excuse for not being signed up for the Fat newsletter to get exclusive comments like this from Prop singer, Chris Hannah, about this classic Fat release:

“The best thing about this record was seeing Wayne Gretzky at the airport. Other than that it is notable only in that sales from this record paid for the security walls we put up around our mansions.”

lolol

The more i listen to Potemkin, the more I like it. At this rate, it may surpass Today's Empires.

I know what mean, dude.

[AP_Punk]

I need a record player

Ask Santa for one.

[AP_Punk]

:woot: I got a copy of How To... on colored vinyl.

[singyoutocoma]

I just bought my first Propagandhi CD, Today's Empires... It's pretty great stuff.

[AP_Punk]

Awesome. That's a bad ass album.

My "conflict-free" gold LP of How To Clean Everything arrived today. Woooo!!!

Looks a little more orange-ish than gold. Sort of. But it still rocks.

[Dre Okorley]

Best band ever. EVER.

I'm really upset because someone accidently(or did they? :P) broke my Where Quantity is Job 1 cd. Their newest one doesnt impress me at all, theyve definitely gone down a more heavy/slightly chugga hardcore path.

[Carlo Marx]

no way. Potemkin is up their with Today's Empires for me. It rocks hard as shit, it just takes a few listens to get full appreciation for it.

Well, a few listens and a fat bag of weed.

[RyanDamage]

I'm not a huge fan of Potemkin, but chugga hardcore is definitely not a term I would use to describe that album, nor any of their stuff.

[Dre Okorley]

I'm not a huge fan of Potemkin, but chugga hardcore is definitely not a term I would use to describe that album, nor any of their stuff.

I would, including most people I know- who are unsupportive or supportive of it .

I agree, I wouldn't describe the rest of their stuff like that. Anyone who compares the sound of their latest album with the first two hasn't been paying attention.

[RyanDamage]

But none of their stuff is repetitive, low, rolling guitar stuff. Which is essentially what chugga chugga is attempting to describe.

I don't know, I'd like to know what bands you would compare them to that you would also consider to be said type of hardcore. I think they have stuck pretty true to their progressive thrash roots.

[RyanDamage]

It's not replicated. It wouldn't be progressive if it were. I've aways thought that to be one of the best things about them as a band. Every album is a new step, but it seems always down the same road.

I can't think of any other bands that sound like the track A Speculative Fiction off of Potemkin City Limits.

[AP_Punk]

I see How To Clean Everything and Less Talk, More Rock as pop punk. And TE,TA as thrash-y punk. But I'm not really sure what words to use to "classify" Potemkin. Haha. All I know is that it rocks. Hard. And longer.

[AP_Punk]

Somewhat old interview, but still a good read and why I love these guys. (http://www.mediareader.org/Issue4Stories/4_Propagandhi.html)

[AP_Punk]

All cops are bad, ya' know

[AP_Punk]

The "what?" in parenthesis during John's lyrics in "Showdown" (during his poetic imagery-ish lines) always makes me laugh. Haha.

[AP_Punk]

Update! Yay.

When me and Jordy were growing up in Portage la Prairie, “hanging a rat” meant you showed someone (who did not want to see it) your wiener. It happened a lot in post-game change-rooms in hockey arenas where a young naked fellow might decide to climb up on the bench behind a guy who was talking to someone else and put his wiener as close to the back of the other guy’s head as possible without actually touching it, whereupon the young naked fellow would call that other person’s attention, thereby “hanging a rat” right in his face. It was hilarious. Of course, it is considered a sexual offense these days, so i frown on this sort of behavior in my maturity.

Anyways, welcome to the Chinese Year of the Rat! This is the first year in history that we are going to actually try to plan our year out rather than just do things randomly (don’t worry, we have adults helping us). So our tentative schedule so far includes: going to Japan in spring*, perhaps going to Scandinavia in summer* and finally, recording a new record in September!*

So stayed tuned freaks! We are on the loose!

*unless we get colds

[emericagal182]

we wrote this song cause it's fucking boring, to keep spelling out the words that you keep ignoring.

Did you know that when I was nine, I tried to fuck a friend of mine? He was 8, then I turned 10. 14 years later it happened again (with another friend). This time me on the receiving end.

I'm not the biggest fan, but I can see their appeal. To be honest though, the real Gandhi > Propagandhi.

[Carlo Marx]

I see How To Clean Everything and Less Talk, More Rock as pop punk. And TE,TA as thrash-y punk. But I'm not really sure what words to use to "classify" Potemkin. Haha. All I know is that it rocks. Hard. And longer.

It's got a stoner rock vibe to it, but my only basis is that when I listen to this album after smoking a joint, i end up punching my friends in the mouth.

[shit stroll]

this band hasnt been relevant since 1996. their new album is going to blow. id still like to catch them live though.

[decom_poseur]

errrr

[AP_Punk]

wrong

says guy with against me! user name.

[AP_Punk]

got my fingers crossed for some new material this year.

[Carlo Marx]

i cannot wait for their new one. it will destroy things.

[AP_Punk]

It'll be their first album with the new guitarist, The Beaver, too. Should be pretty sweet.

:music:

the one thing i'm really hoping for on this is that they turn the riffage up to 11.

[AP_Punk]

11.5!

say what you want about new wave, but nothing beats their old shit.

[Carlo Marx]

except for every propagandhi record, ever.

[RyanDamage]

except for every propagandhi record, ever.

Yeah, I'm used to be a pretty big AM! fan but I'd say a lot of stuff is much better than they were.

And I think the comment was more toward making a statement about a band not being relevant whilst having a username from a band that hasn't been relevant to the punk rock world in several years.

i don't think he picked up on that one.

and i'm not saying i don't like against me!'s old stuff, i'm saying that there's tons of bands out there who are much better (see: propagandhi)

Start up the Engines and do it all over again!!!

Hello, Stubes…

As Hairy said, “Propagandhi Is On The Loose”!

We are absolutely raging up/over here like never before. We’ve got it all on the go! We’ve got our maniacal new tunes as well as some other cover tunes we’ve been recording which are pretty deadly!

Sorry for the sparcity of updates. We are busier than a 10 million anted ant hill…busier than a swarm of 800 million mosquitos, busier than a 984 million bee-d bee hive!

If our sound guy Barney ever gets around to editing “tape 2″ from our South American tour he will be accepting his Golden Globes” award for funniest man in the multiverse at this time next year.

O.K? O.K!

oh Jeez.. I almost forgot. the greatest band of all time , SACRIFCE is playing here in Winnipeg in March so don’t miss out. Putrescence is opening the show!! BE there!!!!!!!! I’m sure you will hear more about this show on this website in coming weeks….

Hey, isn’t it that time again for a bunch of pathetic punk bands to start another campaign to get the Democrats in to power? Oh, I suppose that’s old hat now, eh? haha…Here I thought that vote was the most important thing a human being could do in their time on this planet. Hahaha…

Dinkdiddlelinkdinkdink-BARNEY!

-Roid.

:woot:

[Carlo Marx]

i want new propagandhi tunes ASAP.

[AP_Punk]

Word.

[Czarsy]

I used to not like this band, but now I love them.

[AP_Punk]

Yay

[AP_Punk]

Team Propagandhi (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/team_display.php?teamid=134857)?

[Dre Okorley]

I used to not like this band, but now I love them.

Wrong answer.

[AP_Punk]

huh?

[CellarGhosts]

I'm finally able to get into this band. before, I only liked a handful of songs, but all their albums have finally clicked with me. I'm not sure, but Less Talk More Rock might be my favorite. either that one or Todays Empires Tomorrows Ashes.

[AP_Punk]

woo hoo. Chris rocks.

lol

[CellarGhosts]

Hahaha. thanks Kiribe :-D you rock as well, partly for being sort of responsible for getting me into them hah. congrats.

edit: and when I said "all their albums" I meant everything that isnt Where Quantity Is Job No. 1, including the songs on there from the I'd Rather Be Flag Burning split, which I really didnt dig either one at all for some reason, but whatever. everything else is rad.

[AP_Punk]

Go buy the CD of Less Talk, More Rock! It's got cool liner notes with essays, too. :nod:

You're welcome, Chris. And yeah, the stuff on Quantity is pretty bad, the band even says so themselves. Right on.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, swt. I'll do it sometime, I'm thinking of ordering the TETA cd used on Amazon (cause ya know, used = cheaper, and "cheap" suits my budget well haha) so I might get LTMR too.

Hah yep. :highfive:

[AP_Punk]

Haha, swt. I'll do it sometime, I'm thinking of ordering the TETA cd used on Amazon (cause ya know, used = cheaper, and "cheap" suits my budget well haha) so I might get LTMR too.

Haha. I know what you mean. Go for it! :nod:

[CellarGhosts]

Haha. I know what you mean. Go for it! :nod:
ha, willlll do my friend. :celebrate:

[AP_Punk]

I forgot what band exactly, but there's a cover of "Rio De San Atlanta, Manitoba" out there I've always wanted to hear.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Haha.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, no idea, sorry.

although, I gotta say, that's the only song on LTMR that I really didn't like :shrug: same goes for "Superbowl Patriot blablahblah whatever number" on ...City Limits

[AP_Punk]

Haha. I love that and "Superbowl Patriot". Oh well. That's cool though.

http://i13.tinypic.com/455kz82.gif

[CellarGhosts]

hahaha, I love that .gif

[AP_Punk]

:epic:

[CellarGhosts]

Back to the Motor League rocks my socks, shoes, feet, and toe fungus all at the same time.




....yeah Im kidding about the toe fungus part. but Im sure if there actually were any, it'd be thoroughly rawked. :headbang:

[AP_Punk]

It rocks my ass off! :-D

[CellarGhosts]

It rocks my balls off! so there. :-D

[versus_god]

I like to party fucking hard!

[AP_Punk]

I like my rock n roll the same!

[RyanDamage]

I think on TETA my favorite is either the title track or ladies night, both fucking fantastic.

[CellarGhosts]

yeah, my favorite on that one is def the title track. so good.

[AP_Punk]

Fuck Larry Flynt!

[AP_Punk]

"War Is Peace, Slavery Is Freedom..." is also another favorite of mine.

[theguy77]

im so punx i spell it with the x

[AP_Punk]

:punk:

[reissgoespunk]

I love this band so goddamn much.

I've been blasting them for most of the day.


Sucks that I haven't been able to catch them live ... yet!

[CellarGhosts]

I only wish that John had had more songs with Propagndhi :-(

oh well, we've got the Weakerthans, so it's all good.

[AP_Punk]

more propagandhi cover songs by the weakerthans!

[CellarGhosts]

haha, like I said, the Weakerthans should cover "A Speculative Fiction" :-D

[AP_Punk]

That would be incredible. Haha.

[CellarGhosts]

haha, oh yeah.

I still wish I had their accents.

[AP_Punk]

Canadian accents are punk, eh?

[AP_Punk]

Haha. I checked the band's webpage and the recent update just says "Smells!".

It was on "Valentines Day", by the way.

[CellarGhosts]

hahaha niceee

[CellarGhosts]

and yes, punx is all aboot them Canadian accents!

[AP_Punk]

Smells.

[CellarGhosts]

smells are punx

[AP_Punk]

"Purina Hall of Fame" is an intense song. I love it.

[CellarGhosts]

I dunno, for some reason I think that's one of my least favorite songs on TETA :shrug:

for me it's all about the title track (favorite song), Ego Fum Papa, Back to the Motor League and that Mate Ka Ransack Dimdum Whatchamajoo song

[AP_Punk]

Different strokes for different folks.

[CellarGhosts]

true dat

[TheDarkOne]

I like to eat animals. Raw. Rabbit blood is a helluva condiment. It also makes good lube if you bottle it up and save it. Really gets the ladies going once they know what it is, if ya catch my drift. ;-)

[AP_Punk]

'sup, GG Allin?

[CellarGhosts]

lulz

[AP_Punk]

Cool.

Hello!

If any of you know the song, “Mate Ka Moris Unkun Rasik An” off of our, “Todays Empires..” record then you may be interested in this article written for the Ottawa Citizen by Propagandhi listener Tim Shufelt. He has done an updated interview with Bella Galhos who was the inspiration and protagonist of the song. Check it out!

Tim said it was the song that gave him the idea to write the article. As I said to him, What more could we ask for then to have one of our little tunes be the catalyst to get someone interested in an idea or situation and have them use their talents to spread the word? Way to go Tim!

Tim, Tim, Tim!! haha..

Propagandhi/Comeback Kid Japan Tour (http://www.punknews.org/article/27911)

[AP_Punk]

Fuuuck. Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes really kicks ass.

[Chris Fallon]

Stick the fucking flag up your goddamn ass you sonofabitch!

[AP_Punk]

I fuck to cum

[Dre Okorley]

I would have never imagined Propagandhi touring with CK

[SubrosaSeductiv]

I would have never imagined Propagandhi touring with CK

Comeback Kid really is the shit.

[CellarGhosts]

I love Comeback Kid.

[AP_Punk]

I never listened to much by them besides a few songs here and there. :-0

[CellarGhosts]

Wake The Dead is sweet listening. check it out, if you can find it. "False Idols Fall" is a great song on there, as is the title track and "Our Distance" which has a vocal cameo from Russ Rankin :thumbup:

[Dre Okorley]

Well, I think I don't understand when classic punk bands like Propagandhi are listed as the subordinate band, or when people don't know who Lifetime are, but rather SYG. To continue the rant...my friend actually heard some kid say (after listening to Lifetime) "Wow, they sound like SYG"! Heh...I guess some of these originators have already had their heydays.

Agreed, Lifetime>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SYG.

And wow. I hate people.

[SubrosaSeductiv]

I actually enjoy listening to SYG, but in no way do they compare to Lifetime.

[JimGray]

I actually enjoy listening to SYG, but in no way do they compare to Lifetime.

Bands with two lead singers, is like a threesome with one chick. Too much leadership for this rebel.

[Dre Okorley]

Jesus... fucking... Christ. Who would that shitbrick of a human being be? And why is your friend hanging around him?

They werent hanging together. I'm telling the story as what he heard the kid say.

[SubrosaSeductiv]

Hah, I like that.

Hah, I like that.

Thank you much!

Recent update a few days ago:



Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.

Hey McFly, if you’re coming out to the legal-defence fundraiser for the Tyendinaga defendants at the Albert this friday here in Winnipeg, you might want to dig through that dusty milk-crate in the basement and brush up on your “Fuck the Scene” and “Martial Law” hand-dubbed cassettes, cuz there’s gonna be some tuneage that hasn’t seen the stage since the last time we played the Albert in 1992. It will be a clown-fest. And while you’re down there you may also want to make sure your old Cooper SK3000 (with the full-cage Itech) is in good working order cuz there’s some new stuff coming down the pipe this friday that will make you feel like Eric Lindros sprawled out in the neutral zone after a career-ending Scott Stevens open-ice hit.

There will also apparently be a chicken-fight.

A report on our trip to Japan last week coming soon!

[Chris Fallon]

Jesus, a new album from these dudes would be perfect right about now.

[AP_Punk]

I wish I had those “Fuck the Scene” and “Martial Law” hand-dubbed cassettes. :-(

[AP_Punk]

Show review from Japan (http://www.punknews.org/review/7236)

Set list looks so fucking awesome. And they played a new song there that the reviewer forgot to list and/or mention. Said it sounded like a Potemkin City Limits thing.

Coolzzzz.

[versus_god]

New song!
q5rvACjURnQ

[CellarGhosts]

new songs sounds sweet!

[SanePsychotic]

Hmmm...I'm liking the new song.

[AP_Punk]

Kirbie is stoked!

Kinda sounds like the song "Today's Empires" in a Potemkin City Limits kinda way. It rocks my socks.

[shit stroll]

i love that vegetarian t-shirt! :thumbup:

[AP_Punk]

Haha. Me too.

[shit stroll]

New update/movie review:



I have seen some terrible movies in my time. Independence Day, Armageddon, Titanic, The Departed…the list goes on. But tonight, in a bout of insomnia, i managed to watch 1 hour, 11 minutes and 58 seconds of what has to be the all-time King of all terrible, useless, obnoxious, stupid, insipid, horrid, putrid, fetid, utter shit movies: Transformers. Don’t ask me why i even tried. Just don’t. It’s not important. All i know is that my eyes actually smell like shit right now thanks to this visual bus-station toilet called a movie. I have in the past jokingly implied that violence should be visited upon those who have enjoyed such sad films. The joke is over. I hereby truly encourage people to hunt down every single person involved in the making of the Transformers movie (and their extended family members — including children and grandparents) and actually kill them. Literally. If you yourself enjoyed this movie (or were merely ambivalent about it), please consider killing yourself by nail-gunning your own eviscera to your own stupid face while sitting naked on a pail of bees you idiot.

Thank you for reading my movie review.

(Jesus H. Chris)

[CellarGhosts]

the Departed was good. M-(

[AP_Punk]

:-D

Propagandhi Chris is very opinionated.

[CellarGhosts]

haha, I don't think Propagandhi Chris likes anything :-D

but it's okay, he makes some pretty swt music, so it's all good.

[shit stroll]

i'm pretty sure he likes to burn flags.

[CellarGhosts]

stick the fucking flag up your ass.

[shit stroll]

you goddamn sonuvabitch!

[AP_Punk]

not to be gender specific of course

[CellarGhosts]

Anti-Manifesto = best Propagandhi song?

I'd say so. either that one or Mate Ka Moris etc

[shit stroll]

welcome to the motor league?

[AP_Punk]

That benefit show they did recently sounded pretty cool. Would've been pretty rad to see 'em play their really really old material. Damn.

[CellarGhosts]

welcome to the motor league?
did you mean back to the motor league? :-p

haha, that is a good one too though.

[shit stroll]

did you mean back to the motor league? :-p

haha, that is a good one too though.
:hitself:

[CellarGhosts]

:hitself:
ha, it happens.

regardless, that is one of my favorite propagandhi songs.

[AP_Punk]

more movie reviews plz

[CellarGhosts]

ha, I like Propagandhi's music but Chris is kind of annoying sometimes.
