Wishingwell Records #01

S.X.R: Feelings of Expiration: 7”

Nov 27, 2012

I really wanted to like this one because I’ve been through Redding, CA, where these guys are from—and know how much it sucks—but they play some pretty boring straight edge hardcore with dopey lyrics and lots of E chords and slow parts and breakdowns and blast beats. They do have a song called “Macho,” which refutes macho bullshit attitudes. I’ll commend them for that.

“We lived together, we learned how to live as people together, instead of like individually like breaking up and being selfish and stuff.  Sort of like, sort of like a commune, like, sort of like a hippie commune.  But it was nothing like a hippie commune.  But what I’m trying to say is, it was more of a harder commune, you know?”

Straight Edge As Fuck Part I And II

与后来推出的系列唱片不同，《Straight Edge as Fuck 》只是一张 EP，这是因为在发行这张唱片时，瑞典的硬核音乐圈还相对较小。

这张唱片收录了 Doughnuts（首次录音）、Refused（早期版本的 "Everlasting"）和 Solitude（后来改名为 Shield）。

Songs 1 to 12 recorded in 1995. Originally released as "Straight Edge As Fuck 2" 10-11/1/94 by Micke and Markus.

Songs 13 to 18 recorded at Dunkers. Originally released as "Straight Edge As Fuck 1"

A big thanx to all the people involved in this project and to everyone who has supported us in any way... Love.

Special thanx to all of you doing something positive out of life.

Hardcore rules.

All songs (c) and (p) Desperate Fight, except for "Everlasting" and "Cheap..." by Startrec.

Refused appears courtesy of Startrec and management.

Compilation of DRF#2 and DFR#9. Volume 2 tracks appear first. Track 19 unlisted on back cover.

The unity of knowledge and action (Chinese: 知行合一) is a concept in philosophy created by Wang Yangming. It means that knowledge and action should go together and help each other. This idea says that only by behaving well can someone become wise.[1] It is similar to the Western idea called virtue epistemology.

“知是行之始，行是知之成。若会得时，只说一个知，已自有行在。只说一个行，已自有知在。”

In Chinese philosophy, knowledge and action were traditionally seen as related but distinct. Wang argued there was no difference between them. He thought that knowledge was knowing how to act in a situation, based on his ideas about people and their innate knowledge. He also believed that the world was always changing, rather than staying the same,[1] which is similar to the Western idea of process philosophy.

straightedge思想上存在的攻擊性（aggressiveness)， 一種有自衛，有抗爭和勇於去拒絕的意識，這也是Straight edge有別於其他思想，和爭議性最大的地方。就像straight edge在行動上的克已和節制的背後，我們的動機和原因究竟是什麼？那是否當一個人不喝酒，不吸煙，不濫交就是straight edge? 有一種比較玄的答案是「其實你已經是」或就是你「不是」(either you alreadyare or you arenot)。其實在現今社會上一個人能公開在工作上和社交圈子裏去嚴格實行和去拒絕這三樣簡單的東西，能在社會洪流裏去堅持，也算是一種抗爭、堅持和拒絕，這也是straightedge 的思想中也難免帶有攻擊性的原因。對我來說，Straight Edge是由生活上的一些簡單行為和操手出發，再慢慢地去演化成一種邏輯和處世哲學。而這套邏輯和哲理機乎是可以應用到從生活，處世和道德標準上。所以只要理念相同, 人們就可以將Straight Edge 發展到任何的區域。

我不知道大家會不會有這樣的感覺，我小是時候總是覺得自己格格不入，想法，甚至道德、價值觀念上也與其它人不同。一直在懷疑是不是自己有問題，努力去隱藏自己真正的想法和情感，造成缺乏自信和沒法了去肯定自己。之後的「補救」方法就是強迫自己去螎入他人，模仿他人，努力歇而不捨地追趕別人的腳步去希望大衆圈子能夠接受自己，感覺這才是正路，當你身邊周圍所有人也是這樣做的時候。隨波逐流並沒有對錯，問題在於自己是否覺得這是適當的，我從小就不喜觀大眾所擁戴的名牌，甚至有一種像反社會傾向的反感，就懷疑自己是奇怪的；

但是當然至最後我也是沒辦做到去螎入大眾潮流，一直生活在自我掙扎和疑問中直至碰到Hardcore/Straight edge的存在才知道世界上有一群與自己意志相近的人在世界各地用自己的方式生活著。其實很多問題的答案也就在我們的心中，只在乎我們的看法、想法、心胸和思維能不能夠去接受這些答案。Hardcore所帶給我的思維就是將事情去簡單化，合理化。勇於接受自己的錯，大瞻堅持自己認為是對的東西。一切從自己自覺性地做起，不只是光説出來的道德觀念，是身體力行建立出來的道德標準, 就好比王守仁先的心學裏的「知行合一」。在任何環境任何情況下去堅持，去面對這社會上遇到的任何事情，去追求最真實的自己，不斷去昇華自己人格和道德上價值。不再因為別人的眼光和想法去困惑，不迷茫，不再懷疑自己。

以前是在群眾被孤立與無助，今日是在洪流裏獨立出來的決意與覺悟。這就是我從straight edge hardcore 思想所引伸出來的領悟。「死不旋踵」，就是形容當時墨者可以為墨家思想殉道的精神，也是今日一個志向清明的我帶著這把"Hardcore"直刃走下去的一個借鏡。

Straight Edge Interview Project- katie; 32; brooklyn, nyc; she/her

[straight edge is ] no drinking, no drugs, no smoking, no pot. i’m trying to live with less black & white in my life, though, so if anyone has come up with a less strict vision of edge then i would love to hear it. ever since claiming edge as a teenager i’ve felt like an outlier in the scene. i’m only now starting to meet more edge women and other folks who don’t fit the typical masculine hardcore image.  i’m the kind of straight edge who claimed when she was a teenager, so i often have to explain to people that i’m not ~sober because i never did drink or do any drugs in the first place. i also have a lot of pot-smoking friends and they’re always surprised that i liked them in the first place. just cuz i make a choice for my own life doesn’t mean i expect everyone else to fall in line just the same! i’m an only child who was raised by a single mother who dealt with a bad alcohol addiction. i knew that i never wanted to drink or smoke, but frankly when i was a teen i was intrigued by drugs like ecstasy and mushrooms. luckily, i lived in a small town at the time and never met any people in that realm of the drug scene. when i started going to shows there was this Cool Kid™ who was edge so i read into that and decided it was something i wanted for myself (ironically, this militant straight edge teenager who also turned out to be a classmate of mine died a few months after high school graduation of a heroin overdose). then once i found and claimed edge it stuck and became a habit and now it’s something i don’t even really think about. i build my life around relationships and communities. i enjoy bringing new people into my life and maintaining connections with those who have been around a while. i’m particularly active as a cyclist and ride organizer. i love attending kinky play parties when it’s safe to gather indoors. i’m also. burgeoning coin collector and numismatist. i have a cat who’s four and a pup who’s two and they have been my biggest lifeboats in the sea of this literally depressing pandemic. i’ve been a barista for a few years now and my most grandiose current goal is to open a brick & mortar coffee house. oh and i’m also a veteran lol. really i just wish there were more queer women in the edge scene, or at least i wish i could find them! being a woman in a male-dominated space is hard enough, add to that being a queer woman in a straight woman dominant minority and i feel doubly on the outskirts.   Read the full interview here: https://xsisterhoodx.com/straight-edge-interview-project-katie-32-brooklyn-nyc-she-her/ email [email protected] if you’d like to do the interview too

PSA: NS Straight Edge isn't a thing

If you are a nazi and you don’t drink, don’t do drugs, etc you are not edge. You are still just a piece of shit
