This is really apropos of nothing. A friend sent me this because he thought I’d be amused by the fact that these guys operate a couple doors down from where I used to live. It’s called the “Mintwood Media Collective.” Read through these bios and tell me you don’t want to smash their “collective” guitar against the wall of Delta House. Here’s on of my favorite snippets:
Kadd Stephens…. later moved to DC, where his accelerated disillusionment with the military manifested distrust of systems of domination in general and led him to delay his pursuit of a degree in Justice, Law, and Society at American University and pursue resistance work full time.
Since 1995 he has been immersed in grassroots activism, anarchist projects in the DC area, and efforts involving non-violent direct action. Kadd was one of the founders of the National Conference on Civil Disobedience, an annual weekend of workshops held at American University which draws hundreds of activists from around the world, and as a planner/coordinator has seen exponential increases in attendance every year.
Known for his straighforwardness and disdain for popular mythologies, Kadd has from time to time slipped scathing critiques of the corporate system into features in such mainstream news sources as Washingtonpost.com and MTV. A passion for fact over convenience, a flair for the ironic, and an irreverance for the banal are central to Kadd’s approach to injecting some semblance of honesty into popular culture. Working part-time as the Development assistant at Psychologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Kadd contributes to the collective on projects regularly, working mostly on developing alternative media stratagies and press pitching.
