I keep trying to figure out how to make my guitar stop
|
||
Bush in his tracks and otherwise radically transform
|
||
the world as we know it, but all it seems to do is
|
||
produce various melodic notes of one sort or another.
|
||
|
||
Oh well. So I'm trying a little gimmick here.
|
||
|
||
FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY, like, say, til the end of March,
|
||
I have EVERY song from my FIVE most recent CDs available
|
||
for free download on http://www.mp3.com/davidrovics. The
|
||
idea is to instigate a flurry of emails that people will
|
||
send to everyone they know, turning new people on to these
|
||
songs with the exciting prospect of being able to download
|
||
EVERYTHING for free, rather than just the usual selection
|
||
of a few songs from each CD.

what you can for him. He totally rocks.

We'll discuss David Rovics a little more later.

So welcome to ATI issue 345. It's Friday, 7 February. 2003.
|
||
I guess lots of slow in southern new england, eh? None here.
|
||
Just really really really cold.
|
||
|
||
Wow, when I think of the number 345, "45" sticks out.
|
||
Besides being a particularly devastating handgun caliber,
|
||
the number 45 represents something else, which at first
|
||
will seem totally unrelated, but quickly become quite
|
||
connected in your minds' eye.
|
||
|
||
The 7 inch record. Yup, the 45. 45 RPMs. Now what the
|
||
heck would a .45 gun have to do with a hit single? Well,
|
||
two things to take a quick peek at which should be quickly
|
||
representative of everything else.
|
||
|
||
Jennifer "Puff Daddy" Lopez, and Ronnie "Phil Specter" Ronnettes.
|
||
|
||
Yup. Guns, guns, guns.
|
||
|
||
Hey Phil Spector, Ashleigh Banfield and Bill O'Reilly.
|
||
Live by the corporate media, die by the corporate media.

LETTUCE:
|
||
|
||
|
||
to ati:
|
||
|
||
that account of senseless death was heartwrenching, shocking,
|
||
and just plain bewildering from a historical point of view.
|
||
|
||
Nothing has seemed to change in the old west.

February 4, 2003
|
||
Dear friends:
|
||
I'm currently recording a CD of original songs, and I'm writing
|
||
to ask if you'll help me achieve this goal. Recording and mass-
|
||
producing compact discs, usually involving a minimum order of 500
|
||
units, can be expensive, so I'm asking if you'll "pre-order" your
|
||
CD's to help me cover my costs.
|
||
Each completed CD will sell for $15, and every "pre-order" I
|
||
receive will help me to cover recording and manufacturing costs.
|
||
When the CD's are completed, hopefully in March, you'll receive
|
||
yours "hot off the press" (be sure to blow on them before putting
|
||
them in your CD players).
|
||
Thank you all for being in my life, and thank you for considering
|
||
supporting me in this way.
|
||
Please feel free to contact me via the
|
||
Internet if you have any questions:
|
||
http://www.michaelkrieger.com
|
||
or
|
||
MAKrieger@aol.com.
|
||
With love,
|
||
Michael Krieger
|
||
|
||
[REPLY: Michael, I can't afford a CD right now because of my
|
||
current lifestyle, but I'll certainly tell many people about
|
||
your project. -- marco ]

AND NOW A NOTE FROM THE MIRC PEOPLE:
|
||
|
||
Join the Global Protest against War. (February 3rd 2003)
|
||
|
||
IRC has always been about communication, about dialogue.
|
||
We are against any war and violence, as long as talk is
|
||
still possible. On the 15th of February, the day after
|
||
Valentine's day, millions of people around the world
|
||
will take part in anti-war protests. More than half a
|
||
million people are expected to take part in an anti-war
|
||
march in London alone to protest the war against Iraq.
|
||
Be one of them. See the Stop the War website to find
|
||
out about protests in your city.

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
As Maureen Dowd, writing for the New York Times, wrote,
|
||
"Mr. Powell can't very well seduce the world into bombing
|
||
Iraq surrounded on camera by shrieking and mutilated women,
|
||
men, children, bulls and horses."
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Dear Editor:
|
||
I am honored to submit the enclosed
|
||
collection of poems for your consideration.
|
||
|
||
This work is submitted on a free basis,
|
||
so no charges are made for its use
|
||
in your magazine. Let it serve the cause
|
||
of faith, democracy, and freedom.
|
||
|
||
Meanwhile, I regret to inform you that email submissions
|
||
are the only real outlet for me. Sending snail-mail
|
||
from Russia overseas is madly expensive - sending
|
||
a single message may cost almost as much as two
|
||
hours of internet connection. More than that, as my
|
||
previous experience shows, traditional mail messages
|
||
often either get irretrievably lost or arrive to
|
||
editors almost torn to pieces. I have received numerous
|
||
complaints to that effect. Email submissions, provided
|
||
they contain no attachments, are much safer in this age
|
||
of terrorism and other malicious activities.
|
||
|
||
Yours faithfully,
|
||
Vladimir Orlov.

BLACK NIGHT.
|
||
|
||
The arid fields of dusty silver
|
||
lie fallow for years and years that pass
|
||
in the farewell trembling hues
|
||
of the night too black and dazzling
|
||
to look real.
|
||
The placid ponds of gilded lilies ripple
|
||
with the sinking shades of this suffocating
|
||
twilight, the black night<68>s faithful employee.
|
||
The corrupted fates of grandeur,
|
||
formerly sparkling, now vexed and weary,
|
||
lie scattered on the banks
|
||
which the nightly Rider of Justice haunts.

|
||
THE MARBLE TOMB TO CROWN LIFE.
|
||
|
||
It was caused by nothing,
|
||
aimed at nothing
|
||
but popular outrage.
|
||
Frustration, discontent, unrest --
|
||
all these offsprings
|
||
of the disabled single party rule
|
||
are now issuing their pervasive yells
|
||
all around the new
|
||
and the same old country
|
||
caught up in complex implications
|
||
of its discarded but
|
||
thoroughly tenacious past.
|
||
|
||
The unknown present day
|
||
breaks in upon the petrifications
|
||
of what has been sanctified
|
||
by the multitudes of the ever-marching
|
||
purple, red, bloodstained, bleeding
|
||
banners now carried high
|
||
by the staunch advocates
|
||
of the good old totalitarian days.
|
||
|
||
Their lofty calls
|
||
seem to fail to chime
|
||
with the somewhat less lofty
|
||
cries of those butchered
|
||
in Stalin<69>s prison cells,
|
||
now wafted to the marchers<72> ears
|
||
from the cells
|
||
of their own lingering memories -
|
||
The marching former convicts
|
||
crave for Stalin whose much lamented death
|
||
let them out of the prison cells
|
||
but buried them
|
||
in those of their wounded souls -
|
||
Are these parading relics just the guns
|
||
Stalin triggers off
|
||
from under his marble tomb?
|
||
The marchers never question.
|
||
They are called up from the past
|
||
and are here to obey.

I WILL SEND MY MESSAGE COLLECT.
|
||
|
||
I will send them all the torn-out copies
|
||
of my last message collect,
|
||
as I stand breathing in the sight
|
||
of the frozen silver, its faulty light
|
||
fettering the river<65>s glassy ice.
|
||
My memory, in its inveterate longing
|
||
to plunge into the sweet water of hope,
|
||
is being thrown to the gusty summit
|
||
where regiments of ghastly ghosts gather
|
||
to perpetrate their ghoulish parade.
|
||
Time rumbles down the bumpy street
|
||
of my crumbling consciousness, as
|
||
I am being effectively run down by its heavy cart
|
||
which used to stop at my beck and call before,
|
||
but which now will positively not,
|
||
even if I vociferously plead with it.
|
||
Days are being sipped out of me,
|
||
with relish, by the subtle connoisseurs
|
||
of the delicious wine of time and age.
|
||
I will send them all the torn-out copies
|
||
of my last message collect.

CAGED RESPITE.
|
||
|
||
Life<EFBFBD>s refugees used to willingly
|
||
lock themselves in these endless fields
|
||
of the golden cages unfolding all around
|
||
in the menace of their deceptive splendor
|
||
that the life<66>s loyal martyrs eagerly fall for,
|
||
longing for a minute<74>s respite
|
||
from the uncanny pain
|
||
of vulgar day-to-day existence.
|
||
Anticipating the audacity of a departure,
|
||
shunning the rip-off of a return,
|
||
the poor convicts on the death row
|
||
of the guillotining golden cages
|
||
are still readily reaching out to them,
|
||
to the stretching swampy fields of them
|
||
running far beyond the life<66>s horizon,
|
||
so peacefully and joyfully serene
|
||
in their placating, inviting, vermilion green
|
||
of the countless time-chariots of pastures
|
||
affording the ready oblivion
|
||
the convicts are yearning for.

CAGED GARDEN OF LIFE.
|
||
|
||
In a gloomy garden of the golden cages
|
||
suspended on the golden chains
|
||
at the whim of a wistful gardener,
|
||
trees of a quashed joy rustle alive,
|
||
alive to the roaring wind rudely stripping them
|
||
of their yellow apparel of an anticipated slumber.
|
||
Lawns of gilt offer their own
|
||
rampaging yellow, lawns of a decaying life
|
||
stifled to death by the marauding weeds.
|
||
The whole garden is an ungainly cage
|
||
of rust which is the gold<6C>s aftermath.

6.. Anarchists - are committed to distributing illegal (or at least
|
||
morally suspect) information, including but not limited to data on
|
||
bombmaking, lockpicking, pornography, drug manufacturing, pirate radio, and
|
||
cable and satellite TV piracy. In this parlance of the computer underground,
|
||
anarchists are less likely to advocate the overthrow of government than the
|
||
simple refusal to obey restrictions on distributing information. They tend
|
||
to read Cult of the Dead Cow (CDC) and Activist Times Incorporated (ATI).
|
||
7.. Cyberpunk - usually some combination of the above, plus interest in
|
||
technological self-modification, science fiction of the Neuromancer genre,
|
||
and interest in hardware hacking and "street tech." A youth subculture in
|
||
its own right, with some overlaps with the "modern primitive" and "raver"
|
||
subcultures.

====================
|
||
|
||
There is a place where the culture of text-based zines
|
||
will live again. And you, my friend, when you want to
|
||
read zines in the .txt format in the internet, you will
|
||
want to visit a site where you can read the most recent
|
||
the zine world has to offer. And if you haven't heard
|
||
of http://www.textscene.com by that time, you will sulk
|
||
the night away, wishing that you had some way to get your
|
||
hands on subversive writings by up and coming writers.
|
||
So find out about textscene.com. Find out about it right

on your computer.

Taking The Dump
|
||
|
||
a public domain poem
|
||
by marco
|
||
|
||
You must to scream
|
||
When dumping at the dump
|
||
Sure,
|
||
You jumped for joy when you received stuff,
|
||
You're grunting -
|
||
As you lift it;
|
||
|
||
Out of your truck
|
||
|
||
Why not scream while it leaves
|
||
Your hand
|
||
|
||
And sails into the landfill
|
||
Let it go
|
||
With catharsis
|
||
And screaming
|
||
Screaming
|
||
It can be your
|
||
Scapegoat. Sure.
|
||
|
||
Instead!
|
||
|
||
Of your best friend
|
||
Or lover, or co-worker
|
||
Acquaintance (sp?)
|
||
Or guest.
|
||
|
||
Scapegoat.
|
||
|
||
Even your Charlie Brown Tree
|
||
Can go to the dump
|
||
In the composting section.
|
||
|
||
So you'll feel good about yourself;
|
||
The world around you,
|
||
Filling up with catharsis.
|
||
|
||
And scapegoating
|
||
And screams
|
||
And dumps.
|
||
|
||
Sure,
|
||
You must to scream
|
||
When dumping at the dump.

a poem

|
||
You can drape Lady Justice
|
||
You can cover Guernica
|
||
You can cancel poetry symposiums
|
||
You can block all sorts of research
|
||
|
||
But you can't fool mother nature
|
||
And you canNOT kill the spirit.
|
||
|
||
George Bush
|
||
You can't hide.
|
||
I charge you
|
||
With genocide.

AFTRA And SAG Will Merger With AFL And CIO.
|
||
(PAWN) - Follywood Fills, CA. - The world's two largest
|
||
union conglomerations would merge into one organization
|
||
with seperate affiliates for each type of worker under a
|
||
proposal to be considered this war.
|
||
The proposal would require 60% of members from both
|
||
SAGAFTRA and AFLCIO.
|
||
Supporters say this maximizes the unions' strength at
|
||
the bargaining table with other corporations who mergered
|
||
already.
|
||
SAG rejected merger plan in 1999 but many bosses have
|
||
retired, resigned or died every other month or so the past
|
||
few years. The newer bosses say they are hopeful.
|
||
The new mega-union will be called CIAFASTGLADFRAG.
