Whohoo! Looks like the Parasite_606 show made it all the way to Japan!!!
Greetings from Osaka, Japan.
Thought you might know (and hopefully approve) the fact that a non-profit
micro-webcaster run by a handful of ex-pat volunteers has been including an
occasional program from your web project. Had a few Parasite & 606 shows on
& now have an "Independent Heroin" installment included in our "Sound
Collage" program. If you'd like to know/see/hear more, please go to:

Thanks for the great shows!

A Sad Day
I am really sad to hear of the death of John Peel. I first encountered his show aged about 15, when I was just discovering the alternative scene (Ned's Atomic Dustbin and so on!) and a mate put the radio onto this show late one night and there was this crazy mix of music blasting out – I was impressed. Especially as I'd written Radio 1 off as a sick-pop puppy with nothing to interest me. I was not a regular listener but did pop in now and then to hear the familiar and comforting tones of Peely. Like the shipping forecast, if you could hear John play a speedmetal track at 45 (rather than 33) then the world still had hope left. About a year ago my connection to his show grew – for two reasons. First the BBC's streamed radio service got much better and so I could catch his show whenever online. I listened a lot more than before and often listened to some shows twice as they had so many good tracks (e.g. the Jawbone live blues show he did.) Secondly, Parasite's record label, Death$ucker, had the Bong Ra 'Riddim Wars' 7" played on the show – this rocked. My mates music was on John Peel, for fucks sake! The world was ours! Since then I noticed that Peely had played lots of stuff on his show from Death$ucker including Gusset, D'Kat as well as other top acts Big Joan and Movietone to name but a few.
It’s a sad day for music. RIP, John.

The Quagmire of Empire
The vacillation and subservient compliance of the Neo-Labour government of the issue of sending UK troops into the maelstrom, raises a number of interesting points. On the one hand given is a war – that what you do – fight. But the media discourse on the issue seems to revolve around the issue of rules of engagement and the differing approaches of the UK/US forces. Again the media refuse to see the larger issue. To me, what this whole issue shows is just how much of a client state we are. We see the evidence for this again and again – the fact that the decision to go to war was taken a long time before the public discourse, that there was never any question of the UK backing the US and now, UK troops are to be used as a political football by the US.
Neo-Labour ministers have been busy tying to say this is not a political deployment and claiming that it will not be noticed in the US: (e.g. Caroline Flint on Question Time 21/10/04, "I don’t think that people in Boston, Milwaukee or Chicago are going to be particularly affected by what is a military decision.") Bullshit. I checked google news to see what US media outlets have picked up on the deployment – and surprise, surprise – its quite a few: Boston Globe, Kansas City Star, Houston Chronicle, Washington Times, Minneapolis Star Tribune, CNN, Voice of America, ABC News, Bloomberg, USA Today - to name but a few. Looks like the editors of the US do think this re-deployment is news.
Time for us to wake up and smell the coffee.
PS. Crimethink have a new poster out...

Dialect No More
Sad news that Dialect has had to stop going for the time being...

Subject: Dialect - taking a break

Hi Folks,
This week will be the last week for dialect for a while - I'm taking some time off because it's become a bit too stressfull.
Hopefully we can go out in style - so if there's any guests or special features you have been planning, do it quick! We will be having a bit of a party each night this week, to say thanks to everyone involved...
You've all been amazing and we hope to be back next year with new funding.
Remember the dialect gig at the Cube Cinema on Saturday & bring all your mates - hope to see you all there!

This is a bit sad as Dialect had built a stable of very talented performers doing shows doing everything from mashup to hip-hop to bootleg to whatever goes. (The Dialect servers also took a hit recently, as the Bristol Indymedia server hosted in the same place, and the traffic went up as the Bristol Indymedia server picked up the slack while the FBI took out the UK IMC sites for a while.)
I think a shout out is due to Mike, who's been pouring his time into the project for a while now. Lets hope that, like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, a new, bigger, badder and better Dialect emerges. Mine and Parasite's last show, was (In My Humble Opinion) pretty fucking rocking - witness Sickboy, Pantera, FRX and other gems climaxing in Parasite using 2 copies of Venetian Snares 'Hand Thow' (one on each deck) to finish off the our mega-mashup. It was orgasmic.
And the last track of our last ever show? Marillion. Oh yes.

I was using the eDonkey network the other day to download some music when I noticed that Parasite has some of the music he released on Death$ucker has been ripped from vinyl and put on the network. What’s most interesting is those doing this are asking people to go and buy the music in question; "So for fuck's sake, if you like what your hear, go to your local record shop and purchase a copy of your own." I spoke to Parasite about the sales of this particular 7" and he told me that it has sold-out in record time and he was having to re-press. Connected? Here the .nfo file with the hackers details on in full...

Well this is our third year around, and as always we will keep on :::::.
releasing good techno/electronic music to the scene. A lot has ::::::
happened under the three years in TechnoRulez. Some members have ::::::
come and some have passed on, but the fact that we have quality in ::::::
the releases has remained. Will also remain the same in the future. ::::::
::::::
We in TechnoRulez are in it for the fun! And we buy our own records ::::::
with hard earned cash! The artists we deal with are not rock stars. ::::::
They don't pretend to be 'the man'. They're not part of the ::::::
establishment or the multi-million dollar music business. So the ::::::
only way our scene can stay alive is through its undying support for ::::::
the artists and labels. *THIS* is the sole reason we release music. ::::::
::::::
So for fuck's sake, if you like what your hear, go to your local ::::::
record shop and purchase a copy of your own. It's your duty! Only ::::::
through this process we can all continue to enjoy techno music to ::::::
the fullest. As far as our releases go, if you can get hold of them, ::::::
be happy and treasure them. Don't start posting to public domains ::::::
or sources!! This will eventually result in a more restricted ::::::
distribution of our releases, possibly even only internal... ::::::
The choice is yours... ::::::
