평양 City Rockers #430 – Carringtons Enfin ! (15-04-2026)

Bis repetita placent, comme on dit en Courée du Nord, ce Pyongyang City Rockers #430 se situe résolument du côté optimiste de la Force, en réessayant de faire ce fameux phoner avec les Carringtons qui nous fit tant défaut la semaine dernière.

Vous aurez donc normalement droit à un petit 20 minutes d’interviou de ces messieurs en pleine tournée franco-belge, et pi sinon du punk, du hardcore, des post-choses et des bruits incongrus.

On s’artrouf’ ce soir 20h. sur Campus Lille 106,6fm, en DAB+ (7C) vers Arras-Béthune-Lille, et en streaming web tout partout grâce au http://www.campuslille.com.

Ayé on a réussi à l’faire ce sacré phoner Carringtons, c’est leur guitariste et chanteur Joey qui s’y est collé depuis Le Havre, entre balance et concert, très sympa de prendre du temps pour Pyongyanguer ensemble… d’ailleurs The Carringtons ont encore 2 dates avant de retourner au pays : Amiens vendredi et Marly samedi, courez-y ! A part ça, vos Grandes Leadrices et Deurs vont ont cassé les oreilles avec un mélange hardcore – hip hop – oi! – punk – reggae – chanson de charme engagée du meilleur aloi : Aphelium – Columba Triste – Tideux – Belek – The Carringtons – Unsub – Infecticide – Bleakness – Gérald – Sick Thoughts – Steel Pulse… merci !

La liste :
Aphelium – Despair
Columba Triste – On S’lâche Pas
Tideux – La Z.A.D Est Partout
Belek – Belek
The Carringtons – Exile
[ phoner Joey Carringtons ]
The Carringtons – Everyday
Unsub – Trapped
Infecticide – La Voiture De La Police
Bleakness – Dead Of Night
Gérald – Chacun Sa Merde
Sick Thoughts – 19977
Steel Pulse – Drug Squad (Peel Session 04.80)

Chicago on Sunday April 13th with Lost Legion, Exedo and Consensus Madness at The Burlington bar. ⚡⚡⚡

If you’ve read my blog for a long time you will have seen this image I love, which I took in Berlin a few years before Covid. I found it bleakly resonant for all sorts of reasons I’m unwilling to write about directly on the blog, but it’s fair to say it’s an image which is written into the fabric of my psyche:

Which makes it unsettling to discover that the blood stains of the birds, as if they’ve been shot on sight by an unnamed marksman, were added later (presumably by the person who has signed at the crotch of the hooded figure…).This is the (brilliant) Don John’s original image, which has a completely different valance to the one I encountered in Mehringplatz. Much less bleak, right?

I’m unsure what to feel about this. There’s a literal and figurative violence to the way the original image was modified, but discovering this modification at a point in my life where the original bleakness no longer resonates feels appropriate. There’s a journey to my engagement with the image made possibly by the defacement, taking on a deeper meaning as a consequence than would have been possible with either of them alone.
