Heaven 17 - (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang

Heaven 17,. "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang (Full Length 12" Mix)" (YSI link)

Back with a bang, a classic 80s synth pop dance classic. Heaven 17 were a new wave-y band that was intimately connected to the amazing electronic rock music coming out of the UK in the early 80s. The band was formed by Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware when they split from their group called Human League. Perhaps you've heard of them? The duo formed a production company called British Electric Foundation (BEF), eventually adding Glenn Gregory on vocals and becoming Heaven 17. They never quite broke into the big-time, although they did enjoy a few songs that charted, including this one above.

"(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang," the band's first single, hit #45 on the UK Charts, despite the fact that it was banned by Radio 1 DJ Mike Read. I love this song so much, it makes me want to start a dance party with Emma Goldman in a huge warehouse with lots of love and organizing and fun. You get all here: rad political lyrics about the horrible political landscape of the 80s with Reagan and Thatcher, that great UK drum machine and synth sound, clattering percussion, some nice keys and horns filling out the sound. I cannot begin to explain how great it is to hear dance music with such an explicit political edge; as much as I love the booty shit and the disco and house calls for love and sex and happiness, there's something inspiring about hearing dudes who understand just how radical it is to make people dance. That abandon, that mixing of bodies, that's a revolution every night people! Download this! Organize! Yeah!

Rihanna/Chris Brown -- Beating No Weapon

Rihanna/Chris Brown -- Beating No Weapon
Rihanna/Chris Brown -- Beating No Weapon

by TMZ Staff

Law enforcement sources tell us even though the police report in the Chris Brown arrest refers to assault with a deadly weapon, there was no weapon involved in the alleged attack.

The police report cites Penal Code Section 245 -- Assault with a Deadly Weapon. However, we're told there was no weapon involved.

We had been hearing there was an umbrella in the car -- which would have been the most ironic thing ever -- but again... no weapon is alleged. By the way, a persons foot or other body part can be considered a deadly weapon depending on the circumstances.

One law enforcement source who has been dead-on so far claims Rihanna suffered contusions and bite marks.

Rihanna beating photos pictures



The Los Angeles Police Department opened an internal investigation late Thursday into whether a picture posted on a celebrity gossip website purportedly showing the bloody and bruised face of R&B star Rihanna was part of police evidence in the case, department officials said in a statement.

The photo posted by TMZ.com at 8:39 p.m. Eastern Standard Time time under the headline "Rihanna -- The Face of a Battered Woman" showed a woman said to be Rihanna with her eyes closed, a fat lip and apparent bruising to her forehead. The site ran a short sentence above the photo stating "TMZ has obtained a photo of Rihanna taken after Chris Brown allegedly beat her."

The LAPD currently is investigating an alleged altercation between Rihanna and singer Chris Brown, who police said injured the female artist during a fight the couple had last week in a Hancock Park neighborhood the morning of the Grammy Awards.

The department issued a statement that said the photograph has the appearance of one taken during an official domestic violence investigation.

"The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence," it read. "The Department launched an immediate internal investigation and subsequently filed a personnel complaint. A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination."

Brown was arrested Feb. 8 on suspicion of making criminal threats but was not immediately charged because the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said police needed to gather additional evidence in the case.

Police sources have said that Rihanna is cooperating with investigators in building a domestic violence case against Brown and indicated that she had suffered bruises and a scratch on her face resulting from the early morning altercation with Brown. She was treated at a "major medical facility," a police source said.

Brown, 19, who has a double-platinum record and dance moves often compared to Michael Jackson's, fled before officers arrived, police said.

He remains free on $50,000 bail and, through his public relations firm, issued an apology for the incident that rocked the Grammys. Brown and Rihanna were both nominated; neither attended the ceremony.

The City

I live in a city where playgrounds are built under the summer sun while Banks enjoy the shade.

Where cars are double-lane and a narrow sidewalk for pedestrians.

Where you are a number who pays taxes and a zero when your voice rises.

Where cameras monitor the innocent while criminals manage them.

Where you feel yourself a piece of food digested by the twisted stomach of the streets.

Where the shouts of the street come into your home and the voices of the neighbors whispers in your ear.

I live in a city with so many corrupt politicians that we prefer to believe them honest cause not enough cells could host them.

Where they should dedicate a street to bribery, and an avenue to nepotism.

It lives, in every city, everywhere.

Personal Quotes

I grew up sort of like a princess. I know that sounds awful, but I was the baby of the family. I had older brothers, so the

little girl always gets everything she wants. As I've gotten older, I've realized that if you want something bad enough, you

can have it. I've never gone after something I didn't get. Not yet.

It's great playing someone who is not like me at all. I'm really a nice girl, so it's fun to be a bitch, then come home and

be myself again. When I meet people now, they're surprised that I'm a good person.

I love the fact that we play people who are not like us at all and we can just go crazy at work and then be very normal after

filming.

I feel very lucky to work in the environment that I work in. I'm surrounded by people that I love and care about and who make

me laugh every day. I get to work with my friends and you really can't ask for more than that.

A lot of people are surprised by how nice I am. Summer and I are both driven, but I'm not snobby. I'm a pretty good

conversationalist and I like meeting new people.

I feel like you have to be who you are and be true to yourself first, always. You can't worry about how your're going to be

perceived by other people. I have a quote that my mom taught me: 'It's none of my business what other people think of me.'

"Josh Schwartz likes to dress me up. It's uncomfortable being in that Little Miss Vixen outfit for 17 hours, but it's fun as

long as you can make fun of yourself. That's key".

I kind of just take things one day at a time and do what I do and hope that I'm not known as Summer Roberts for the rest of

my life. But I'm grateful that she is known, and that I'm known for her, because it's really brought me everything.

It was like second nature in a way, because I was familiar with the sets and stuff and it wasn't like a strange world. It was

like all things in life: You try it and if it makes you happy, it sticks. (On starting professional acting.)

I feel pretty strongly about it, morally. It's not necessary to be exploited in that kind of way. I can't say that I'll never

do it, but I don't see a reason now, especially when you're still trying to establish yourself. It's just more important to

be known for your acting and that you're not willing to strip down for a scene. (On her refusal to film nude scenes.)

I hate it when people are like, 'How do you stay thin?' or 'Do you work out? What's your routine? What's your diet?' Then

it's like, 'If I tell you I don't, then are you going to give me a hard time?'

Miley Cyrus Loves Pilates and Billy Ray



Miley Cyrus Loves Pilates and Billy Ray

Offering up her signature peace sign, Miley Cyrus was spotted popping out of her Pilates class in Los Angeles on Friday (February 20).

The “Hannah Montana” starlet looked to be in high spirits, dressed casually in “Isle of Pink” sweats with a short-sleeved black top.

Meanwhile, Miley recently spoke up about being bothered by “people who think there’s something wrong with the bond between her and her dad, singer Billy Ray Cyrus.”

“The media has said some stuff about my dad and me being too close and too cuddly for a father and a daughter. For me and my dad it’s not weird at all,” the 16-year-old penned in her new memoir “Miles to Go”.

Written with Hilary Liftin, Cyrus’ memoir is all set to be published next month by Disney-Hyperion Books.

Chris Brown hires Paris Hilton's spin doctor

Washington (ANI): Singer Chris Brown has chosen Paris Hilton’s spin doctor Mike Sitrick to get him out the Rihanna mess, which began after he allegedly attacked her leaving her with horrific injuries. However, Brown’s choice of hiring Mike has
added fuel to the rumors claiming that it was actually Hilton who sent a text to him, before he had an argument with Rihanna over the message, which finally led to his assault on her.

Rihanna was allegedly attacked by Brown, after the duo had a heated argument over a text message from other woman, reports Fox News. Rihanna was left with a split lip, a bloody nose, and bite marks on her hands after the attack. Although brown has
not yet been proved guilty of his crime, he has been facing flak from many celebrities and Rihanna fans, as many radio-stations have pulled out his songs from their play list following protests from fans.
