If you people start giving Hobie Brown the Eddie Munson effect I'm going to start killing. His ass would not be listening to arctic monkeys be so fr

i like never do this & im sorry to hijack yr post (especially seeing as you are a person i do not know!!) but another thing im seeing on these playlists is an absolutely abysmal amount of black artists. spider-punk is and has always been a black character, and black people are frequently pushed out of alternative and subcultural spaces, so i'm going to offer some black punk artists i personally enjoy for i guess playlist consideration aimed towards some of the ppl in the notes, although this isn't definitive & hobie's taste will of course not necessarily be my own.

also to note before we get into this is that punk is a culture of resistance. hobie in specific (though i don't know how much of this will be part of his characterization in the spiderverse trilogy going forward---he's pretty different in atsv, which isn't a bad thing) has been depicted in the comics as a homeless teenager living under a fascist government. regardless of whether or not that depiction is accurate for this version of hobie is irrelevant for now; the point i'm making is that his attachment to punk is not purely aesthetic in nature. i think keeping the radical aspects of punk in general and of spider-punk in specific in mind are important when discussing the character.

anyway.

  • death (this one is kind of essential in terms of punk history. they started recording songs under the band name death in 1971 and disbanded in 1977, but their music was only relatively recently properly released. they've been occasionally cited as the first punk band ever.)
  • pure hell (another early & extremely influential punk group, this one from 1974. in contrast with the isolation death operated within, pure hell were heavily involved in the early punk scene.)
  • bad brains (originally an american jazz group who became punk with a reggae fusion. they cite pure hell as an early influence, which is pretty cool.)
  • x-ray spex (70s english punk band fronted by poly styrene, whose vocals greatly influenced the later riot grrrl movement. notable for lyrical attacks on commercialism and corporate artifice.)
  • zulu (i fucking love zulu so much guys you should all listen to zulu right now. they're frequently described as powerviolence, which is accurate, but they also incorporate elements from various historically black genres, like funk, jazz, & soul. you can listen to one zulu album and get a ton of different musical experiences it rules.)
  • bob vylan (london-based punk rap duo. to me they're like the ideal of what punk set out to be in the first place, ideologically speaking. i don't even know what else to say here. if you're interested in modern punk and aren't listening to bob vylan you should be. they're insanely skilled and deserve to be the center of the conversation.)

this post has gone on long enough you get the gist. & if you actually feel inspired enough to want to make a 100% accurate spider-punk playlist, get into your local scene and see what's playing there. it's what he would want, probably.

i'd also recommend big joanie, soul glo, the muslims and minority threat!!

hi. i’m not american. WAS ANYONE GOING TO TELL ME THAT THE OFFICIAL ARBY’S SLOGAN IS “WE HAVE THE MEATS” OR WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIND THAT OUT FOR MYSELF TODAY JUST NOW

WE HAVE THE MEATS???????????? WE HAVE THE FUCKING MEATS????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The Red Spot club & restaurant - Staten Island, NY (1987)

Designed by Steve Cottone 

“A musician with Mack Hackett and the Tacky Jackets and Jimmy James and the Jumping Flames, Steve Cottone had been performing in various Greenwich Village nightclubs when his life’s work was abruptly curtailed: He broke his hand. This sudden bit of bad luck, in an otherwise promising career, prompted his decision to open an antiques store. And, as a result, Blast From The Past was born. This newfound opportunity in the world of furniture heightened Cottone’s appreciation for the craft, and became the catalyst for his next, new venture: An illegal nightclub with an ice cream parlor facade. Shortly thereafter, a customer and recent million-dollar winner in the New York State Lottery asked Cottone if he would consider joining him in a partnership. The two subsequently moved to Staten Island and began work on the conversion of a funeral parlor into Red Spot. Red Spot (name derived in part from a Kandinsky painting and the gangster hangout in the original Dragnet television series) is an extension, in Cottone’s words, of his own “adolescent psyche of surrealism, 1950s lines and forms, and, believe it or not, George Jetson”; Or a subterranean dream: The designer has exploited color to full pitch and made unnatural use of angles in executing archways, railings and the `Jetsonian’ television set. Artifacts from modern-day American culture (the Cadillac, hairdryer and garden hose) have been playfully enlisted to serve as the not-so-anonymous background.

As the evidence suggests, this is no ordinary installation; Consequently it would be foolhardy to expect a routine explanation of how it was built. (Cottone wouldn’t give you one anyway.) He did say, however, that he retained the shape of the 2,500-sq.-ft. room—with the small exception of adding a false wall that is lit from behind for dramatic effect. He approached the walls as if they were huge canvases and painted abstract image upon image on them. The ‘‘Cadillacbar,’’ a concept Cottone dreamed in his sleep, involved rebuilding the shell of the car around a fully-operating bar. Because of Cottone’s highly imaginative use of New York’s junkyards, the project cost (containing all materials) was amere $105,000.
