Pickled Pooh Records & Distro is a D.I.Y. project originally set up to help co release Burnt Cross 'Mankind's Obituary', but then started to add a few items too for a small distro. Hoping to add more stock ASAP.
We are mainly interested in releasing DIY punk records but are open to anything, however we will not deal with any racism, fascism, homophobia, sexism or any other bigotry of any kind from anyone or any organisation. If this applies to you, please keep your twisted ideals to yourself and try to better yourself.
We promise that we will never make a profit on anything we do, any profit gained from our releases will go to Various grass roots charities.
Our aim is to help foster a move towards a pragmatic, positive, social, economic and political transition to a permanent culture through sharing information, knowledge and also making crucial links between different areas of thought. Knowledge and education are the key to a fair and sustainable future. People require an holistic overview of society in order to achieve a transition and this is why Permanent Culture Now is providing information on a wide range of subjects. Ideas and concepts do not exist in a vacuum which is why we also look at theoretical, historical and cultural issues as a means of analysing the issues and solutions. For example, you cannot consider food production without considering politics, economics and labour issues. We believe that the topics covered on the site are interrelated and complement each other; in addition, these are also the areas that excite us and give us hope for the future.
