X: ADAM MICHAELS & GLEN CUMMINGS
I made another trip to Golden Age tonight (my new fave indie shop in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood) to grab myself a copy of 'X'. The shop is floor to ceiling 'zines, music, artwork and more.
The Golden Age staff? They're mad-cool! Not like those record shop pricks, in neighborhood near you, with their "yeah man, I used to dig German-Prog-Rock, that was before it got popular, man!"
A quote lifted from somewhere else in internet-land "This publication is an initial attempt to examine the trajectory of the X symbol in underground music culture. While the X is broadly associated with the punk scene—in particular, straight edge hardcore—the symbol contains a wide range of often-contradictory meanings. This document presents our ongoing research; we welcome comments, corrections, and criticism"
Glen Cummings and Adam Michaels, X
Softcover, 112 pp., offset 1/1, 130 x 190 mm
Edition of 1000

MUSLIM PUNK ROCK: ALIVE & KICKIN'
Taqwacores: Muslim Punk Rock in the USA
Writer Michael Muhammad Knight coined the term "taqwacore" for his novel about a Muslim punk house in Buffalo, NY, which Knight initially distributed from the back of his car as a DIY photocopied zine. In time, the book found widespread publication through Autonomedia and garnered supporters, even inspiring the first woman-led prayer of a mixed-gender Muslim congregation in the United States in 2005. But something far grander was in the works; unbeknownst to Knight, a real Muslim punk scene was starting to emerge, based on the one he had imagined for the book.
Photographer Kim Badawi first met Knight around this time, and bore witness as the taqwacore phenomenon began to take hold. Beginning in 2006, Badawi traveled across the U.S., chronicling the burgeoning subculture and the musicians who had been spurred to action by Knight’s creative vision. In 2007 he was invited to accompany the TaqwaTour, traveling to major cities across North America alongside bands including The Kominas and Secret Trial Five. As the genre continues to take shape and influence a rising generation of artists and intellectuals, Badawi’s The Taqwacores stands as a photographic companion to the original text and an indispensable document of the making of a movement.
Born in Paris in 1980, Kim Badawi is American photojournalist and documentarian of French, Egyptian, and Slovenian background. He began his photographic career photographing the plight of refugee families from Mississippi to Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, while still interning for Contact Press Images and Magnum Photos in New York. Selected for publication by the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, Badawi’s work appears in 25 Under 25: Up-and-Coming American Photographers (powerHouse Books, 2008).

BEING EMO IN MEXICO WILL GET YOU BEAT DOWN
Being an Emo in Mexico can have some serious side effects.
Mob Rule runs rampant. Emo's are receiving some serious beatings from clashing tribes of Punks, Goths and regular citizens and the violence is escalating out of control.
Protests break out in violence, Emo kids hunted, Mexican television and press feeding the fires of ignorance. The media compares being Emo to being a rapist, a molester and worse. With the recent Swine flu breakouts in Mexico, I'm sure these same fuck-tards are placing the bulk of blame on 'los emos'.
I can't stand Emo just as much as the next guy, but I sure as hell wouldn't hunt an Emo down for an afternoon of 'fag-bashing', my mom brought me up to be better than that.
