Zer of the above! Among other marvels from the classic Welcome To 1984 compilation, I was strongly hit by the N.O.T.A. blazing track. Propaganda Control kicks so much zer!  80s hardcore punk at its zerrest! Their album remains a large stone in that division for anyone into the FU's and Offenders. Give Em Enough Dope is more of a UK punk rock sounding thing and will stimulate the glands of anyone that has ever sported red hair. But let me just blast the 1985 album again! Back to the future!
PS: track 1 on Give Em Enough Dope is blank in the rar, get the real one here.
Remove brackets and unzip: [z.e.r.]
!ZER N.O.T.A. ZER!

In the series "let's read the religious best-sellers", after the bible and the koran I just finished Thomas Piketty's Capital Au XXIe Siècle (Capital in the 21st Century).


I was expecting something at least a little challenging, maybe even philosophically sound as the thing has become the bible of the cult of the State since its publication. But no, this is neither an economy book, nor even a historically accurate text, this is rather the militant writing of an arithmetically competent yet praxeologically impaired accountant with an opinion. It is like reading an astrologer attempting to write an astronomy essay.
It is really frightening that such a piece of propaganda got so much credit and influence in the media and the political arena, but it figures: Rothbard explained long ago the role of "the intellectuals". Confirmed.
Make up your own mind, both versions (original French & official English translation) can be downloaded as PDF from the books page, bottom section.
Next.

  4. Sorry about track 1, I am baffled, welcome to the twilight zone. Here it is again: http://www.mediafire.com/download/79x8rjcu64m7611/N.O.T.A._-_Give_%27Em_Enough_Dope_-_1_-_These_Streets.flac
    My CD has only 26 tracks. It might be a manufacturing or mastering error, the "intro" on track 17 is not listed on the back of the CD.

  7. J'ai retrouver les eps mais pas le split. Je ne sais pas ce que donnent les enregistrements, ils sont vieux et je n'avais pas le même matos que maintenant. Je t'ai mis les fichiers en mp3 aussi parce qu'il y a les scanns.
