So this is art punk?

Think of a number....divide it by 2....something is nothing....nothing is nothing...open a box....tear off the lid...think of a number...don't think of an answer.....

I love that song to death but I couldn't tell you the fucking first thing what it is about

You've just reminded me of Johnny Ball and his maths for kids programmes. They were fun...

[Leckie Gilman]

so are like "new wave" bands like joy division and others like that art rock/punk?

[betamax]

swell maps are the original art punk band

wire too possibly

velvet underground less so

you get the picture

real shocks and xs relocat are sometimes labelled art punk by those in the know

very removed from, and fuck all to do with grunge/rock/emo etc

Yeah New Wave was roughly given to Joy Division, although bands like Television are put under that label too.

Art Punk to me is bands like Sonic Youth, as someone else said it originated in the 80's. It came from New York whether Sonic Youth originally played at some alternative venue (I forget the name). The owner of that venue gave the term to Sonic Youth.

Apparently a lot of the creative mediums mixed in NY and he believed that "Art" was the best conceptual name for the band. I think that's right, if memory serves me...

I'm afraid whoever says they're under this "label" might be a bit misguided. I've never reall known anyone to describe themselves as Art Punk, just their music.

Yeah, stumpy, I thought branding Real Shocks as Art Punk was stupid too.

Joy Division....new wave....good one!

and ive never branded real shocks Art Punk.....just the media twats looking for a label do that for us
