It’s a movie. Starring the awesome Japanese band Guitar Wolf. It’s like a mashup of Night Of The Comet, Rock And Roll High School, and a Motorhead concert. The music is great, lots of bands with guitar that sounds kind of like the Stooges or the MC5 only faster.
The DVD also comes with a built in drinking game, with flashing mugs to tell you when to drink (whenever anyone combs there hair, whenever anyone says “rock and roll,” whenever flames shoot out of something, and whenever a zombie’s head explodes), which is way more often than I was able to handle.
Highlights:
- Guitar Wolf shouting, guitar in hand, “Love has no border or nationalities or genders! Do it!” (Which reminds me, I’ve been meaning to post a link to Towards A Gay Communism here.)
- Ace killing zombies with a crowbar to the tune of the powerful opening sequence of Bikini Kill’s “Rebel Girl.”
- Guitar Wolf, guitar in hand, jumping out of an exploding building and either shouting “rock and roll” or howling (I forget which).
- Hanako and Toshi getting into a fight over why neither of them ever saw “Night of the Living Dead.”
i saw an old KKK poster this weekend that said “race-mixing is communism” finally, they said something true.

Absolutely. The truth they can’t escape comrade.
Why you hanging out w/ the KKK?

i was at Lorraine Hotel, where MLK was shot in Memphis and they turned it into a museum where there was a display of KKK stuff.

Wow. That sounds like powerful stuff. I like your quip on race mixing as communism - does that make mixed race households a type of vanguard? That’d rule.
I saw a photo recently from a parade - homecoming maybe, I don’t remember - at my university in the 20’s, included a float by the KKK, which at the time was a registered student organization. For all my remarks against progressivism in our accounts of history we can clearly identify moments of progress, like the fact that those fuckers have to hide their views more.
