Krist Novoselic of Nirvana and Flipper fame has started up a blog via Seattle Weekly. In his first installment, the bassist talks about a recent docu–feature put together by the FUSE network, musing on the edits in meaning often seen on television.

The biggest reason I did the interview is that I wanted to talk about the Anarchy A symbol worn by the cheerleaders in the video, on national television! (I am the bass player in Flipper after all.) Of course anarchy is synonymous with chaos and disorder. But Anarchy has another meaning; it's about people associating outside of the state structure. Committed Anarchists are actually meeting oriented people.

[After] they taped my spiel regarding this political philosophy, all that they edited in was my saying that the Anarchy A was in the video because it reflected the underground values from where we came.

Nonoselic goes on to pontificate the actions of "anarchists" such as what he calls "the knuckleheads" who turned the 1999 protests in Seattle violent and the intrinsically impermanent nature of organizations and institutions organized by those who subscribe to such a philosophy.

Of course, don't take our selective cut and paste word for it, you can read it yourself here.

Novoselic's most famous band will be releasing a posthumous DVD this month, the fifth annual release of collected material from the band since 2002.
