I'm no fan of the musical output but find the band themselves and their actions pretty interesting stuff. The film was an excellant way to spend a cold evening on my own in the flat.
Hope some others HLanders get something out of it too.

Looking forward to this. With a couple of exceptions, I really loved CRASS--and I still put them on from time to time.

Likewise...looking forward to this, and also still a big fan of CRASS and all related output from Crass Records

Saw him in Manchester last year on the Last Supper tour doing Crass songs. Not only did it take me back a bit, it was bloody fantastic
...and well worth the round trip drive from Durham in the torrential rain

Yes and no...it has details of Penny's youth and there's little humour there, but mainly it's set in and around Dial House and the people who he shares his life with...great read, but don't expect a literary genius

Ta - with a birthday coming up (the day before a certain other beat combo turn 30 as it happens) and Amazon vouchers likely to come my way as a result I'll maybe give this one a blast.
I'm just trying to find the stupidly long story of the legal battle that threatened to erupt when Penny started to put the re-issues together. I'm sure I read it all at Southern's website, but a lot seems to have happened since then.
Pity that it all seemed to descend into public squabbling by a group of people who said such important things to so many people.

Has anyone read Steve Ignorant's autobiography? Very interesting

No, but spotted it when looking at Andie's tip.
So its looking likely that I'm gonna have watched a film and read three books about a band I don't even like!

I had not heard, but to meet up with you may be worth it.
Too bad that I can not fit in
too much German cuisine and
a game in an ironoically named "major league" as well on the same day?

Oh yes, Crass... I've read that Penny Rimbaud book 'Shibboleth' too a few years ago. It really was a very nice & informative read. The docu isn't too bad either.
I might have to dig up The Feeding of the 5000 once again, thas been a while.

Martin - I will let you know when I have more details.
The boots I have seen of the shows look like excellent performances.
I'll buy the ticket for you

I used to have a copy of that, free from AK Press if you were a £10 a month subscriber
