I heard the Pixies at our local supermarket a couple of days ago. To be fair, it was “Here comes your man”, so that made it easier to digest.

@sosumi, @TobinL, @Immutable_Mike: since Liking appears to be b0rked at the moment, have one of these…
Yeah, it creeps up on you. Like wondering exactly when your high school music started showing up on “classic rock” radio stations. Or, while driving my father home from a doctor’s appointment, trying to pin down when the Beastie Boys became a hit… oh, thirty years ago… thirty?!? 
(Though I’m only 45, 46 in February, it’s still jarring!)

I find irony in “anarchists” all dressing the same. Throughout life, I’ve been in various groups with uniforms and its rare to have everyone in full uniform, from scouting, to the service and technical jobs I’ve had, so to see such unity in a group preaching against unity, it’s just funny.

You misunderstand anarchy, in a big way.
ANARCHISM, the name given to a principle or theory of life and conduct under which society is conceived without government — harmony in such a society being obtained, not by submission to law, or by obedience to any authority, but by free agreements concluded between the various groups, territorial and professional, freely constituted for the sake of production and consumption, as also for the satisfaction of the infinite variety of needs and aspirations of a civilized being. In a society developed on these lines, the voluntary associations which already now begin to cover all the fields of human activity would take a still greater extension so as to substitute themselves for the state in all its functions. They would represent an interwoven network, composed of an infinite variety of groups and federations of all sizes and degrees, local, regional, national and international temporary or more or less permanent — for all possible purposes: production, consumption and exchange, communications, sanitary arrangements, education, mutual protection, defence of the territory, and so on; and, on the other side, for the satisfaction of an ever-increasing number of scientific, artistic, literary and sociable needs. Moreover, such a society would represent nothing immutable. On the contrary — as is seen in organic life at large — harmony would (it is contended) result from an ever-changing adjustment and readjustment of equilibrium between the multitudes of forces and influences, and this adjustment would be the easier to obtain as none of the forces would enjoy a special protection from the state.
