as youth culture and

when youth culture becomes

monopolized by big business

what are the youth to do?

Do you have any idea?

I think we should destroy

the bourgeois capitalist process

that is destroying youth culture.

By mass marketing and

commercials --

commercial --

paranoia behaviour control

and the first step to do is

to destroy the record companies.

Do you not agree?

This is called --

Hey, did you know that Punk Rock

finally broke in '91?

It's called Teen Age Riot.

Everybody's talking 'bout

the stormy weather

And what's a man do to

but work out whether it's true

Looking for a man

with a focus and a temper

Who can open up a map

and see between one and two

And here he comes now

Stick to your guns

And let him through

's great and narrow

I ain't the farrow

It's a f***ed up shoe

Everybody's out on the

summer vacation

Go around in the sun in a

hyper nation for you

Looking for a log and a rock

and a barrel

To save on a slave

it's a super narrow view.

We know it's down

We know it's bound to loose

Coming round to the city ???

Takes a teen age riot

to get me out of bed for now

Round and rounder

I feel the sky

it's up above

He acts the hero

Paint a zero on her hand

We know it's down

We know it's bound to loose

Everybody's sound is round it

Everybody wants to be proud to choose

So who's to take the blame

for the stormy weather

You're never gonna stop

all the teenage leather and booze

Now it goes round

A one man showdown

Teach us how to fail

We're off the streets now

And back on the road

On the riot trail

I'm(?) balling in a foreign country.

- You're vegetarian?

- M hm.

- Needs five minutes.

- Yeah, ok.

- And you? Chicken?

- Chicken.

The festival scene is beautiful, man!

- The sight is a picturesque --

- The sun is out.

-- mud field.

A picturesque field of mud.

- What are you eating?

- This is a --

This is something ???

cause to me - I need this elixir.

This elixir of --

skinhead violence.

Atom bomb!

So sir, we're going to try this.

Tell me what kind of cigarette it is.

What do you think?

- Winston Light?

- Yeah...

Not really. But I'd like to

give you this carton with cigarettes

to take home and give to

your family and --

And here, and you can have your

practical(?) hot pink cigarette type

dealy-bob.

In excellence!

I'm so desperate for some fun.

What about you, tell me

what the latest gossip is!

What's been going on in AMPAS(?)?

Well, ever since Uma left

things haven't really been the same.

Everyone has their head down and

no one is smiling anymore.

Another day

some guy lit himself on fire

uncommented(?), and no one even

cared cause

Uma wasn't around anymore.

But whatever happened to you and Uma?

You are still going out with her?

I don't know.

It's just too painful. I just can't

talk about it right now.

I've seen enough to eye you

But I've seen to much to try you

It's always weirdness while you

Dig it much too much to fry you

The weirdness flows between us

Anyone can tell to see us

Freak scene just can't believe us

Can't it just be cool and leave us?

I've seen enough to eye you

But I've seen to much to try you

It's always weirdness while you

Dig it much too much to fry you

The weirdness flows between us

Anyone can tell to see us

Freak scene just can't believe us

Can't it just be cool and leave us?

It's so f***ed I can't believe uh(?)

Anyone can tell to see us

How it could work

just can't conceive it

What a mess!

Sometimes I don't thrill you

Sometimes I think I'll kill you

Just don't let me f*** up will you

'cause when I need a friend

it's still you.

- What's the magazine?

- Scootering Magazine.

- Scootering?

- Yeah.

At the moment I'm saving to get

a brand new one

I'm customizing the

around the LP "Goo"

- Really?

- Spraying(?) the front cover on it.

Then you put the front cover

of "Goo" on your scooter?

On the side panel, yeah,

and on the other side on the rail.

- You'll send us a photograph of that?

- I will indeed.

You know Murph, the drummer

from Dinosaur?

I have heard of him.

When they come here you should

talk to him, he's a scooter fanatic.

Peace!

See ya! Peace!

This is Keith of the crew

and he's gonna explain

the phenomenon known as

Thurston-itis.

Thurston-itis is basically when you

loose all control of your mind.

You just walk around in a daze,

stay with a baseball cap on backwards,

your bangs in your eyes,

and you go deaf.

Are the signs going searching for

used record stores?

Is that a good indication that you

are falling under the spell of Thurston-itis?

Yeah, I think we are following

the king of Thurston-itis now.

Yeah, looking for pre-used stores

that don't exist

and pretending that you know

where they are.

And asking the locals and --

pretending you understand the language

and you don't and you nod a lot.

And it's usually a lot like:

"It's right over here!

It's right over here!"

Oh, Steve Shelley!

Iggy!

Iggy! Here boy!

Here he is! Here he comes!

Iggy!

That's Iggy Pop!

You're outrageous!

Fun House is my favourite LP!

Can we get lunch together

some time?

Raw power, I can feel it.

So anyway you guys --

Last night I was gonna ???

Instead I have a --

oh thank you!

Hey, what's green and flies

over Germany?

Snotsies.

Woah, shoot

Yeah, shoot

Indian Billy simple sin

scratches across my skin

Oh my soul, there's a hole(?)

Soft gravel scratches cross my skin

Oh my soul, there's a hole(?)

It ain't love, baby,

that makes this martyr grin

Simply sick, where Billy's been

Sending psychic messages

you can't even hear

From my dumb mouth

to your deaf ear

Sugar spit sentiment

never even meant

We've all dragged our

Jesus hair around

Dust cake boy(?)

boy boy

Woah he wavers me something

Woah he fucks real mean

She screams out your name

'cause she sweats to be

Me, me, me, me, me, me

Has a crystalline c*nt

made of mint julep

Tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea

You're staring at something

you're never gonna see

Take your small eyes away from

Me, me, me, me, me, me

Woah, he fucks real mean

On one of the sleeves you've got

the name of Raymond Petibon

???

What's it exactly, I mean it sounds

like it's got to be a French name

is he French or is he --?

Raymond Petibon is not French.

This is another in an endless stream

of interviews with foreign journalists

who don't really understand a word

you're saying

as you in turn understand nothing that

they are trying to communicate to you.

It's Mr Microphone, hey baby!

See you here to pick you up later.

What are your influences?

- You've been here before, in '87.

- Yeah, long time ago,

when it was raining and they were

throwing mud at the mission

where they were wearing their white

robes and smoke machines.

That was definitely a

worthwhile concert.

How was your concert then?

It was horrible, of course.

And this one? Will be more horrible?

This one is gonna be a new Sonic.

What do you mean with a new Sonic?
