mislabeled stuff sucks
Aug. 16th, 2006 12:52 amSo while sorting through some stuff I found a copy of a mix CD, and I was fairly certain that it is not a private mix, but was done by either a project, zine or festival or something like that on the topic of violence against women, queer and minority women in particular, and self-defense. It had 28 tracks with a mix of short spoken pieces (relating experiencing violence and of self-defense tips and strategies), and music in different styles and its title (at least according to the labelling on mine) was "I'm Scary Not Scared" but I didn't have a track listing and I had no idea who all the artists were. After wasting almost half an hour of my life on google it turns out that the actual title of the CD is "Free to Fight!" *headdesk* It was released on Candy-Ass Records.
On the upside I found that not only all the tracks but also the accompanying zine/booklet are available online under a CC license here these days, so I could just download the booklet pdf. BTW you should check it out if you like garage punk (though there's rap and folk music on it also), and dubious musical quality aside, for some reason the "Eyes, Knees, Groin, Throat" song (it's track 20 "Target Practice") never fails to have an uplifting effect on me.
