Uzi (band)

Uzi was an American alternative rock band, formed in 1984 in Boston, Massachusetts and disbanded in 1987. The band featured Thalia Zedek (vocals, guitar), Danny Lee (drums), Randy Barnwell (bass guitar), Bob Young (guitar) and Phil Milstein (tape loops). Never achieving commercial success during their short period of activity, the band gained a cult following, becoming a part of Boston's underground rock scene.

History

Uzi was formed by Zedek and Lee after Zedek left the all-female post-punk band Dangerous Birds in 1983. Barnwell was replaced briefly by Craig Federhen prior to Uzi's first concert.

The band released only one EP, Sleep Asylum, released by Homestead Records in 1986. The band's sound featured "gritty wall of sound guitars, tape loops, and heavy drumbeats, accompanied by Zedek's strong vocal presence," which drew comparisons to noise rock acts such as Sonic Youth and to a lesser extent, Big Black. The EP was included at No. 5 in the annual Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll.

Uzi (Muslimgauze studio album)

Uzi is an album by Muslimgauze. Although the album was only released in 12" vinyl format, the album was later coupled with The Rape of Palestine and released on CD as Uzi (The Rape of Palestine).

    Pure (Miller novel)

    Pure is a 2011 novel by English author Andrew Miller. The book is the sixth novel by Miller and was released on 9 June 2011 in the United Kingdom through Sceptre, an imprint of Hodder & Stoughton. The novel is set in pre-revolutionary France and the upcoming turmoil is a consistent theme throughout. It follows an engineer named Jean-Baptiste Baratte and chronicles his efforts in clearing an overfilled graveyard which is polluting the surrounding area. Baratte makes friends and enemies as the cemetery is both loved and hated by the people of the district.

    Miller was inspired to write about the Les Innocents Cemetery after reading historian Philippe Ariès's brief description of its clearing and imagining the theatrics that must have been involved. The novel received positive reviews, particularly noting the quality of writing. The novel was awarded the Costa Book Award 2011 for "Best Novel" and "Book of the Year", and was nominated for the Walter Scott Prize and South Bank award.

    Wretched

    by: Paris

    Again I start this but I'll add a new twist
    So the masses can't resist
    The message brought by a Panther strictly
    To relieve the disease of the sickly
    So long your mind's been trapped
    Slave, 'cause you're shamed to be black
    Ignorant of the purpose of the plan
    To keep the black man down under
    So I'll address y'all this time
    Make a statement that's on my mind
    Brothers scared of revolution should be
    Thinkin' of the way that we could be
    Miss blue eyes, how'd you do that?
    Tried to put him in but the skin is still black
    Thinkin' of a way to escape the darkness
    See the weave and indeed I start this off
    Black is black is black is black off
    Black is black is black is black
    S E D I T I O N
    In the mood of the move I'm showin'
    See the way the clinches have been torn
    Cold spittin' facts to the miracle Earth born
    So what's your next move, black?
    Go to school or maybe join a frat
    Still you seem lost, the mind is brainwashed
    It can't be good 'cause your mind's the cost
    So flip on your Young MC
    Or Jazzy Jeff or whatever the case be
    Mindless music for the masses makes ya
    Think less of the one that hates ya
    Then trained to respect the game
    And you turn your back on a black with the same claim
    Oh, blessed but you guess they mean less
    Because another brother can't afford to dress
    The way you do but who said you're all that?
    Made a little money, now your skin ain't black?
    C'mon I don't think your shit don't stink
    You can't run from the one whose primal instinct
    Is to fought the words I taught ya
    Thought you moved quick but I just caught ya
    Now you try to say that you don't remember me
    I'm P-Dog from the B.P. posse
    Or a mob, that's known as Scarface
    Pro-black and some think pro-hate
    But in fact it's a call for unity
    Heed the plea of weak we're soon to be
    Move, start this
    Black is black is black is black
    Enter the dark side
    Black is black is black is black
    Yeah, funky
    Dance
    Now who did you think that you were steppin' to
    Once your job came through
    Don't get big, 'cause I caught your accent
    Shoulda been real but you wanted mass appeal
    Next time you might think of this
    Might remember why I'm above this
    But for now, my brother, I'll say
