MALONE 006EP
|
For Mal-one's sixth single he has chosen to use what he calls his "Punk Art Poetry" to shine a light on one of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood's most controversial/stylistic garment, the "Anarchy Shirt". Vivienne had made the prototype of the "Anarchy Shirt" on some stock of "Wemblex" shirts that Malcolm had acquired and had shown it to Malcolm who said it needed to say more. So, he added the text and the quotes from "Situationist" related saying's "Try Subversion" to quoting revolutionist Durutti "We are not afraid of the ruins". The text over the shirt front, made using their kids "letraset stencil" would say "Dangerously Close To Love" or "Only Anarchists Are Pretty"... sounds like a good chorus for a song. Only fifty of these shirts were originally made but like all design classics have been copied many times. "Some say only anarchists are pretty... or dangerously close to love" Edition of 500.

The It's All Punk Rock album was initially inspired by various artworks punk artist Mal-One had completed and titled. These titles usually turned into punk poetry/lyrics and finally into songs. The idea would lead to grouping these songs together and to add the additional difficult cherry on the top. The songs would also include the word "punk" in each of their titles. Creating what we called the first punk art concept album. The title of the album as well as summing up the contents, grew from a term Mal-One had used for years when asked what had inspired a certain work or what was the meaning behind something -- It's All Punk Rock would be the quick reply. Each song tells the story or relates the ideas behind a work, whether that be "430 King's Road" (where punk meets rock n' roll) the story of the various guises that Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood would conceive for their shop from Let It Rock, Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die, Sex, Sedtionaries. "Anarchy Tour After GrundY (Punks Out On Parole)" the story of the "Anarchy Tour" and what happened after the infamous appearance by the Sex Pistols on the Today show with Bill Grundy. "Punk Rock Jubilee 77", the Silver Jubilee celebrations of 1977 and its punk overtones. "The Punk Rockers Gig Prayer", a punk poem for the various venues that bands played back in those heady times. "The Last Punk On Portobello Road (Ode To Joe)", a lament to Mr Joe Strummer an inspiration to us all. Yes, every picture as they say tells a story, in this case never a truer word spoken.

A double "AA" feature. Mal-One's latest single is again taken from a title of one of his artworks "Kiss Me Punk (till my mouth gets Numb)". The cover of the single is the artwork itself, giving the listener something to contemplate as "The needle hits the plastic, hear those speakers hum" as the lyrics point out. This single does not carry the usual "version" side, but is what Punk Art Records are calling a "Double 'AA' Feature", as the flip side track is the full unedited version of the title track to Mal-One's forthcoming debut album It's All Punk Rock.
