A lot has happened since http://www.etext.org/Zines/ASCII/ATI/ati324.txt
|
||
It's sure to take weeks to tell you. So let's start here I guess...
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Hey Corporate Media. Your Numbers Are Foul Again
|
||
|
||
"Hundreds of blacks rallied in front of the Capitol," says
|
||
Associated Press, "on Saturday to demand slavery reparations,
|
||
saying that compensation is long overdue for the ills of that
|
||
institution."
|
||
|
||
My local newspaper says "several thousand." If you did some
|
||
real ground work you'd likely find that tens or hundreds of
|
||
thousands were rallying. And I'm sure you are fully aware.
|
||
Unless you just don't care. And if that's the case, tear up
|
||
your Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism
|
||
diploma [sic.] or use it for the toilet paper it is. Because
|
||
all you learned there is how to be a yes man for Central
|
||
Intelligence and an economic slave of the Army Corps of
|
||
Engineers.
|
||
|
||
So I guess what I'm saying mostly, is the only way EITHER
|
||
news statements could remain accurate is by allowing for
|
||
hundreds or thousands of hundreds to still mean "hundreds."
|
||
Likewise, tens or hundreds of thousands would have to mean
|
||
"several thousand."
|
||
|
||
You've done this before. In fact you always do it.
|
||
|
||
You suck.

In June, after the British musical group the Planets introduced
|
||
a 60-second piece of complete silence on its latest album,
|
||
representatives of the estate of composer John Cage, who once
|
||
wrote "4'33"" (273 seconds of silence), threatened to sue the
|
||
group for ripping Cage off (but failed, said the group, to specify
|
||
which 60 of the 273 seconds it thought had been pilfered).
|
||
Said Mike Batt of the Planets: "Mine is a much better silent
|
||
piece. I (am) able to say in one minute what (took Cage) four
|
||
minutes and 33 seconds."

POP GOES THE MUSICIAN
|
||
Todays popular sound of music has dealt a knockout
|
||
punch to a lot of musicians who play musical
|
||
instruments. Well, whatelse do musicians play? Lots!
|
||
The scene these days is all about musicians who play
|
||
turntables, groove boxes, floppy drives and whatever
|
||
it is that creates todays hip sounds of popular music.
|
||
Take the case of my talented musician friend Earnie
|
||
the songster. He's been hit by himself! Earnie was
|
||
amoung the first few guitar players who switched over
|
||
to keyboards with automatic bass/drums/chords,
|
||
starting a 'one man band' trend that rendered his
|
||
fellow band members redundant. The one man band scene
|
||
ruled and why not? Earnie had a family to support,
|
||
playing in a band could only pay half his bills,
|
||
'being' the band paid all his bills. Few years down
|
||
the line the popular one man band trend has given way
|
||
to the 'no man band'. One does not necessarily have to
|
||
be a musician to create todays cool sounds of popular
|
||
music. DJ'ing, programing, sequencing, sampling is
|
||
where it's at baby. Today a DJ or a computer
|
||
programmer creates the cool sounds that spearhead
|
||
popular musics evolution. So what does my friend
|
||
Earnie do now? You've guessed right! Alright peeps in
|
||
the house, please welcome DJ Earnie who's gonna spin
|
||
some mean disc while scratching the shit out of them
|
||
vinyl frisbees! And by the way, DJ'ing these days pays
|
||
even next years bills!

Hey, Marco,
|
||
|
||
I and some other media folks recently did an interview
|
||
that you might be interested in hearing. We spoke with
|
||
David Rovics when he played in our town in northeastern
|
||
Connecticut. As I recall, you are also a songwriter who
|
||
pays attention to political and media matters.
|
||
That's why I thought I'd tell you about it.
|
||
The interview can be heard at:
|
||

|
||
or at
|
||

A short "ad-aware" report.
|
||
|
||
The other day I ran "ad-aware" on a friend's computer,
|
||
among the many things I did to help her get her machine
|
||
to run faster.
|
||
She shares it with a few other people who all live
|
||
together, and a bunch of us who live elsewhere but
|
||
occasionally visit and/or logon a little.
|
||
She likes to download a lot of music, as do many of
|
||
her roomies. This is never a problem from a philosophical
|
||
point of view. But I see two areas where it's problematic.
|
||
|
||
1) Hard Drive defrag in windows environment necessary weekly
|
||
2) Doubleclick (TM)
|
||
|
||
The makeup of a hard drive is changed a LOT when you download
|
||
lots of songs and are always deleting about half of the things
|
||
you download, including things you listened to half way through
|
||
and decided you didn't want it. (the internet is chock full of
|
||
things someone called a song leaving you wondering if they even
|
||
know what a song is)
|
||
So all those changes will get your harddrive pretty fragmented.
|
||
If you don't do it weekly, then when you do finally decide to run
|
||
defrag.exe (or dfrg.msc to be precise) it'll cost you about an
|
||
hour and a half.
|
||
The dreaded doubleclick. And all the other spyware, annoyware,
|
||
suckyware. I ran ad-aware.exe and it found over 600 different
|
||
kinds of spyware to isolate and yank out of her hard drive. Why?
|
||
Well, they probably downloaded and reinstalled Audiogalaxy,
|
||
Napster, Limewire and etc., on a regular basis, and I'll bet many
|
||
of the people sharing that computer don't know very much about
|
||
spyware, cookies, ads, etc.
|
||
The sleazy corporations deliberately make their installations
|
||
look warm and fuzzy, and invite you to click on nice neat things
|
||
that will fill up your harddrive with garbage that smells worse
|
||
than the bottom of a dumpster at a meat-packing plant. (I've
|
||
smelled one, you don't wanna go there)
|
||
I'm talking really warm and fuzzy. One even has a smiley
|
||
purple furry gorilla you can click on if you want to buy some
|
||
of their products or something. Another stores every password
|
||
you type in for the next few days in what they insist will only
|
||
be one file right there on your harddrive. Hmmm. Is that particular
|
||
directory world readable? Are they telling you the truth about it
|
||
not being backed up anywhere else online or offline? Hmmm. Ask
|
||
yourself this. They're a corporation who broke into your home
|
||
uninvited, or at best coerced under duress. You expect complete
|
||
honesty from them??
|
||
Anyhew, each time they installed or reinstalled something it
|
||
probably added 2-5 new spywares. No wonder the system was going
|
||
so slowly. There's half a thousand programs all trying to do
|
||
the same thing through your COM port. Scream bloody murder things
|
||
like "She's typing a letter P!!!" "She's clicking on an ad with
|
||
a naked lady!!!" "She's asked in GOOGLE about cheap planefare!!!"
|
||
"She just got email from someone private!" "Oh my god, she just
|
||
typed the word 'viagra' (TM) in usenet. Quick, sell her all kinds
|
||
of things!!!"
|
||
These harmless looking little programs are all studying the hell
|
||
out of your purchasing habits. And if half a dozen people use your
|
||
computer day in and day out, there's a corporation out there that
|
||
thinks you're a big spender and a perfect victim, even if you haven't
|
||
bought a single thing online. They see your activity, they don't care
|
||
at all what you've done with it. Adding you to their list of spams
|
||
is just fine for them; whether you ever buy something or not. Your
|
||
worth a LOT to them.
|
||
But they're not willing to pay you even a penny.
|
||
Take their shit and get it off your system and keep ridding yourself
|
||
of them.
|
||
Run programs like ad-aware as often as you can.

Russia Points To Major Nest Of Terror
|
||
GEORGIA -- [PAWN] The Russian defense minister said
|
||
Friday that Georgia had evolved into the world's
|
||
second major "nest" of international terrorism after
|
||
Afghanistan.
|
||
It was the latest salvo in the escalating war of
|
||
nerves between the two former world paramilitaries.
|
||
Russia has long accused Georgia of harboring
|
||
deathsquads in its lawless School of Americas near
|
||
the border with Fort Benning. Moscow has demanded
|
||
that Georgian authorities allow Russian troops to
|
||
enter Georgia and flush them out.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
And we end with some loose stray thoughts:
|
||
|
||
|| ||| ||| || ||
|
||
|
||
Every time I make myself as poor as I can
|
||
be; people keep giving me shit.
|
||
|
||
|| ||| ||| || ||
|
||
|
||
When you radicalize almost everyone around you
|
||
many of them will radicalize you when you need
|
||
it.
|
||
When you die they will radicalize each other;
|
||
and when you are born again it will be some of
|
||
them to remind you.
|
||
|
||
|| ||| ||| || ||
|
||
|
||
I read an interview in the local paper where
|
||
they were asking Michelle Shocked "you've had
|
||
a reputation as someone who works completely
|
||
independent of commercial considerations. Does
|
||
having your own label make you more or less
|
||
cognizant of commercial issues?"
|
||
And Michelle says "that reputation isn't
|
||
accurate. I don't ignore commercial considerations.
|
||
I take them into account, and THEN I completely
|
||
ignore them.

||
