Punk Not Profit!

12/11/12

The Dusty Dirt Punk Radio Podcast Ep.1 Fuck Work!

So here we go! I Finished the first Dusty Dirt Punk Radio Podcast last night, it could have been uploaded a few days ago, but I was hoping to get one more song from a band I wont mention 'cuz I don't want to embarrass them (the Cheated). I plan on doing another "Work" related Podcast in the near future so hopefully by then I'll have their song "Work," it's a great song to say the least.

Anyway enough ripping on the Cheated for now, in fact if it wasn't for bands like the Cheated I might not know what work really means. See, not too long ago, I thought "work" meant busting your ass doing something you don't like, so you can buy shit you kind of like, with money. The work you're doing, time and labor you put in go to make profit for someone else, and a the money you earn goes right back into the pockets of someone else, who is already making a profit, so it stays there, but you're pockets always seem to be empty......

After years of playing in bands and struggling to remain independent from corporate America, I started to realize that the "work" we do at our daily grind, is in fact not real work at all. On the other end of the spectrum, right brained, creative activities are not considered a persons life-work by many people, but are mostly defined as hobbies and thing you do when you are done with "work" for the day.This narrow attitude about work and jobs in American society marginalizes many of those who's greatest talents are creative-right-brained musical and artistic abilities.

To be completely candid, the main reason I titled my first podcast "Fuck Work!" is because I'm sick and tired of hearing people brag about how great their jobs are, or how much they hate their jobs. If you work and have a great job/career with the golden handcuffs, retirement, stocks, and all that jazz, well good for you, but I got some news for you: No one really gives a half a shit, and in my opinion you're awesome full-time job is worthless if you do nothing outside of that to help people that are less fortunate. If you don't like your job, then you must understand that you can remove yourself from any situation you do not feel comfortable in. Maybe you should think about if the job is worth the stress it causes and time you are forced to spend away from family, children, and friends, while instead spending most of the day with asshole bosses, customers and co-workers.

I have much much more to say about the topic of work and jobs but I'll just freeze it there for now. One more thing though, I know that many people take pride in their work and like the people they work with, and their boss. There are some decent employers out there, I think that the most important point I want to highlight is that when you work, you shouldn't feel like a slave or like there is no hope for a better alternative to your current occupation. I think that the world would be a much happier place if people could find real intrinsic value in the work they do for that steady pay-check. A lot of people just work for material gain, and find extrinsic value in their work. It seems that many of those types of people don't really care how hard or fucked up the job is, they just do it because they have this overwhelming drive to survive. To them, extrinsic rewards are worth putting up with the stresses of day-to-day workplace issues and drama.

In the upcoming Dusty Dirt Punk Radio Podcasts, I want to try to talk more about the theme, or topic or the show. I am just getting used to recording voice only and talking into a microphone rather than singing, I have plans to do some interviews, discussions, and a bit of sketch comedy which I would like to work on writing with other people. I have to of course, give a big thanks to all the friend and fans who supported this podcast from it's conception. I'm attempting to do two podcasts a week right now, this week I will be putting together Episode 2 "Fuck You!" and Episode 3 with the working title "Violent Night"- an all-request Christmas edition of the podcast, it will be my gift to all of you!! Anything you want me to play, I will play it! Even if I think it sucks Rhinoceros Nuts!!!! --Dusty Dirt

Punk Pod-Casts: Teenage Bonehead Eps. 8 and 9

Been finding some really good Punk pod-casts out there lately. Teenage Bonehead out of LA quickly became one of my favorites. A couple weeks ago, TB put one of my band's songs (Defective Children) on the podcast ep. 8 with many other sick bands, so I thought I could help out by posting links stuff about TB on my blog and spread the word. There are also a few other Punk pod-casts I've been following lately which I'll be posting about in the next few days.

Update: The Future of Punk Not Profit! SoCal

I started this blog about 3 1/2 years ago as a way to promote shows and bands that played at my former residence/venue known to some as "Dusty Dirt House," as well as other shows I was involved with in some fashion. When we started doing shows at my house, the local punk scene around the Inland Empire and SoCal was kind of dying off and it was difficult to find decent spots to have punk shows. I'm sure that my efforts to help bands contributed to Punk music rising up again in SoCal, but there are also many other great people who have taken up the charge to make Punk Rock happen again. Everything is happening and changing really fast these days, I think that maybe because of the state of the nation many people are starting to seek out right-brained creativeness instead of left-brained logic thinking, because what most humans refer to as logic and reason simply doesn't work anymore and people need to find a life with real sustenance.

I really hope this social trend continues. People have been programmed from birth to accept that life is about money and material gain, but now people are realizing that this program is not advanced enough or comparable with what I like to call our "Spiritual Operating System." I and many others feel that evolution has upgraded the human psyche to the point where certain archaic belief systems are quickly becoming irrelevant and exposed for their flaws. Personally, I am not out to teach people how to see the world or what to believe, and I think that knowledge is useless without experience. Everything is intertwined, and my only real objective is to bring out the creative best in myself and others.

The reason I am writing this post today is because in the last few weeks I have been very motivated by the positive actions close friend and other people in the local and world-wide punk scene. Punk is not dead, in fact it has never been more alive. I have been very lucky to live a life of freedom, and I feel that I owe a great debt to everyone else who contributes to fighting for the rights and freedoms of everyone.

From this day forward I plan on taking Punk Not Profit! SoCal into a slightly different direction. So far the posts have been mostly personal endeavors, but now I see a growing need for more people to promote bands, shows, venues, artists, records, podcasts etc. There's a lot more cool shit going on out there and much easier to find out about thanks to social media and the internet. I suggest to everyone who appreciates art, music, and any other "right-brained" activity to consider helping out the people who create by telling others about their work, and also creating new amazing things on their own.

As always, I welcome new ideas from everyone and love to collaborate on new or on-going projects.If anyone wants to hook-up and do anything hit me up here on blogger or the vast variety of other social arenas you can find me on. To everyone out there living the dream, keep up the good work, never let anyone tell you it doesn't matter or that it is a waste of time. Bad people want to tear you a part and make you feel insignificant, they get off on that. Don't give them any attention, avoid and ignore them, keep moving on.

Defective Children- Economy

They say we're facing a struggling Economy

With the value of the dollar falling businesses

Outsourcing over seas

To save a few bucks and increase profitability

Relying on our impulse to consume, regardless

Of the long term effects it has on personal prosperity

The price of gas is kicking the asses of America's

Poor and middle class we've been hit hard by that

Coupled with the rising cost of food, which wouldn't

Be such a problem if everyone grew it in their front lawns

So the question is will this ever change?

Well, change depends on direct action and not

Avoiding the facts and rejecting ideologies rooted in

Mistakes of the past

I have a solution for the struggling Economy

Try not to buy anything manufactured in a different country

Purchase your produce from farmers who grow locally

Don't support industries that discourage worker's unions

Your children will thank you for having the dignity

To say "I've had enough!" and make at least a little effort

Even if it seems like one person has no influence

Or power but that's exactly what they want you to assume

In order to maintain the constant threat of impending doom

Until you're completely convinced the only way out of this

Pinch is depending on the elites and their stimulus checks

But I think we just need to use a little more common sense

Defective Children- Maybe There's a Reason

Time is wasted with energy

and no one can stop them from passing

I've had this feeling for a while,

and for me it's the only thing that is

Everlasting

Maybe There's a Reason

Maybe not, it's just a thought

Maybe There's a Reason.....
