BACK TO SCHOOL TIME FOR THE STREET-KIDS! (Good luck!)

"East-End, London 1978".

René Hausman nous a quittés. Triste nouvelle...

Extrêmement peiné d'apprendre que René Hausman nous a quittés aujourd'hui.
Les derniers géants disparaissent les uns derrière les autres…Et avec eux, c'est toute mon enfance qui se dérobe.

Merci pour l'oeuvre majestueuse que tu nous lègues, merci pour ton immense talent, et ton amitié, ta gentillesse, ta bienveillance. Ce si charmant autoportrait de toi réalisé pour le mini-moi que j'étais en 1984 (j'avais 14 ans!) résume ma pensée et prend hélas tout son sens aujourd'hui. Malgré cela, je pense que, au contraire, toi, tu étais beaucoup de chose. Au revoir René...Mes pensées vont vers ta famille et tes proches <3

My artwork for the RANCID 'All The Moonstompers' double album LP (+CD) compilation of the Ska-Punky-Reggae tunes they ever recorded in 20 years!

Rancid + Alteau = T.N.T? 
I don't know! But for sure, sometimes dreams come true! 
I am very proud to announce the release of this new Rancid album whose the cover is illustrated by myself. 
This is a double LP containing all the Punky-Reggae and Ska killer tunes that Rancid ever recorded compiled by Daryl Smith (COCK SPARRER). 'ALL THE MOON-STOMPERS' is available at Randaleshop Randale-Records or http://www.machetemfg.com/rancid.html1st press 1000 colour orange gatefold Lp !
This is the ultimate achievement for me since I work for the scene (1986) !
Being given that Rancid is my favorite Punk-Rock band that appeared in the last 20 years.
Diehard fan of the first hour, it's of course a huge honor for me.
Big respect and massive FANX to Rancid to have chosen me to do this job!

Friends of mine... THE RIFLES. Very talented! My mood tonight:

Winter calls when I'm alone and at the end of the day
Like any fool who'd been the owner to a pretty face
Now time it separates us to a different place
I'd be alright if I could only stop thinking

And if I'm happy cause you say you are I'd be lying
And if I said I was a man that don't need anyone at all
Then I know I was wrong

So don't leave me out in the cold
Foolishly shaking my bones
If you don't want my heart let me know
I get lonely when winter calls

Winter calls the start of june until the end of May
Cause any rule I've ever had I've always had to break
I find I sit around trying to compensate
I feel alright at times but only when I'm drinking

And if I'm happy cause you say you are I'd be lying
And if I said I was a man that don't need anyone at all
Then I know I was wrong

So don't leave me out in the cold
Foolishly shaking my bones
If you don't want my heart let me know
I get lonely when winter calls

And yes it hurts to know that I am not your obligation
But I don't want to spend a lifetime waiting...

And if I'm happy cause you say you are I'd be lying
And every time I close my eyes I'm hearing warning sirens
The thought of you in someone else's arms and I feel violent
And if I said I was a man then maybe I was fool...
