Primal Forces

This is poem from an upcoming book "Making Sense From Nonsense", which will be released (or has been, depending on when you read this) late summer 2024. While it is not an exclusively anti-war book, there are anti-war poems scattered throughout.
The military megadrums transform this to a primal season

Album:Everybody

1-800-273-8255 era il numero dell’assistenza statunitense per la prevenzione dei suicidi. Secondo una ricerca, pubblicata sul British Medical Journal , nelle settimane in cui il rap è rimasto in classifica il numero dei suicidi è sceso dello 0,5%.
Dal 2022 il numero è stato sostituito dal numero 988. La semplificazione del numero ha portato ad un aumento delle chiamate del 30%.
Nel clip un ragazzo omosessuale chiama il numero per chiedere aiuto dopo avere concepito il suicidio a causa degli abusi subiti.

Truth (Workshop)

Truth (Workshop)
Destructive Thoughts
released May 21, 2024
In my room I have a shrine to the truth. It is difficult to find things to place upon it these days, so most of the shrine consists of relics of the past. There is a stack of polaroids – a collection of memories that I have been recording since I was a child. The oldest ones tend to stay on the top because they are the ones that I want to sift through the most – the days when the truth seemed possible, achievable. Something that could actually be attained and grabbed and held on to and examined. But I often find myself looking at these images and not recognizing the people in them – I would say they were not real but the weight of them in my hand, the resistance of the paper as I try to rip them, crush them, tells me otherwise. There is also a boxtop lid on the shrine, where I keep... (Continues)

I Hate This and I Hate You

I Hate This and I Hate You
Released May 26, 2024
Written, recorded and produced by Ruth Mundy

This is a song expressing my unmitigated disgust with people in power committing, enabling, and profiting from genocide. Go get it and turn it up loud! All proceeds from Bandcamp sales of this single will be going to direct mutual aid fundraisers for people trying to evacuate Gaza.

Don't Swim Between the Flags
Ruth Mundy is a New Zealand based singer songwriter who writes about social and political issues which impact the world, including climate change.

She collaborated with Moz ( Mostafa Azimitabar), a Kurdish political prisoner who has been stuck in the limbo of offshore detention in PNG for five years due to Australian government policyon this track. My hope is to thank her in person for her beautiful vocals one day.

Down Rodeo

Down Rodeo
(1996)
Album: Evil Empire

Rodeo Drive è la strada dello shopping di Beverly Hills,

“Down Rodeo” was a promotional single by American rock band Rage Against the Machine. The song was intended as the third single from their Evil Empire album, although a domestic single was never released.

The song addresses social inequality between the rich and poor of America, and the simmering class warfare that existed in the band’s home city of Los Angeles following the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. “Down Rodeo” was written just three years after six days of riots were sparked by police violence against minorities in the city. The full lyric must be put into context of the time period and the beating of Rodney King to be understood: “So now I’m rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun, These people ain’t seen a brown skin man, Since their grandparents bought one”

Yeah, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun

Power

Power
(2024)

Carlotta Sarina, in arte Lotta, è una giovane artista poliedrica e un’attivista per il clima.
Originaria delle colline di Salsomaggiore Terme, si è trasferita a Milano dopo il liceo per studiare musica. Qui, fuori dal Conservatorio, e mossa da una crescente preoccupazione per lo stato del pianeta, ha conosciuto il mondo dell’attivismo ambientale.



POWER sarà lanciata su tutte le piattaforme il 27 maggio notte, dopo il release party organizzato insieme a @planetboumboum e @lamagma_ a Parigi:
cantatela,
ballatela,
fateci video stupidi,
utilizzatela durante le occupazioni,
le azioni, i cortei.
Saremo a Parigi ma vi sentiremo vicin*.

Facciamo sapere al mondo che la giustizia climatica valica ogni confine geografico, culturale, linguistico: dove non arrivano i governi, arriviamo noi a indicare l’unica strada possibile per costruire il nostro futuro, quella della contaminazione... (Continues)

A proposito di antisemitismo

L’antisemitismo é manifestazione di, pregiudizio, rancore o di odio verso gli ebrei, espresso anche attraverso teorie cospirative e attribuzione di colpe senza fondamento. Purtroppo di recente l’epiteto antisemita viene usato troppo e a sproposito per respingere qualunque rilievo critico sulla politica dello stato israeliano, anche se lieve e supportato da evidenze indiscutibili. Schematizzando, il corto circuito è il seguente: l’analisi critica verso aspetti della politica e società israeliana viene classificata come antisionismo. A sua volta l’antisionismo viene equiparato tout court all’antisemitismo. Scatta a questo punto il senso di colpa e l’autocensura della comunità o del singolo malcapitato raggiunti dall’epiteto antisemita:... (Continues)

Digwell Carol

Digwell Carol
[1989]
Lyrics and music / Testo e musica / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel: Leslie Fish
Album / Albumi: Firestorm - Songs of the Third World War

The song is a small piece of science fiction masquerading as a traditional song about what initially sounds like a pagan festival. Imagining a kind of peasantry that's survived the nuclear holocaust, the song is a "carol" for a holiday in which all of the corpses and dead crops from radiation sickness are piled in a ceremonial mound to "keep the devil down."

By the end of the song, it is revealed that the "devil" is the word for the powerful people who've retreated to underground bunkers, and that by heaping the dead on top of the doors to the bunkers, they'll be kept in "hell."
It is the time of Digwell, now Summer's gone away

Forever Chemical

Forever Chemical
[2020]
Parole e musica di Simon Roberts

"Forever Chemicals (more accurately known as PFAS, per-and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) are everywhere. In your blood, in your water, in your pets, and in your taco wrappers.

We need to work together to find and correct the sources of PFAS contamination around the world. This will take years of research with support from our federal government in the US and governments around the world. You can educate yourself on PFAS, contact your local, state, and federal governments and express your concern and your support for researching, regulating, and cleaning up these "forever chemicals". (Simon Roberts)

Le sostanze per- e polifluoroalchiliche (PFAS, o PFOA, o PFOS) sono composti chimici con forti proprietà tensioattive. Introdotti in ambito militare negli anni 40, per la loro capacità di fornire alle superfici idro e oleorepellenza, negli anni '70... (Continues)
