It wouldn't be a Sunday if I wasn't spouting some of the same old shit!
Life imitates art and ends in death at
a showing of the new Batman film in, Colorado USA. No surprise
really; the availability of firearms, violent films and video games
etc, are a lethal combination for anyone with the will to kill and an
out of control ego. It's a fucked up world with death, destruction
and conflict across the planet . In the UK the fog of war descends
as a father kills his children and then himself, he's lost the battle
he was fighting inside his head.
Life is cheap in a pound-stretcher
society. Western values are fired from the barrel of a gun in the
sand and desert of a foreign land, while a teenager sits in front of
a computer in their room, in the line of fire on the call of duty, in
their virtual world of war-craft, disconnected and desensitised from
any sort of reality, through consumer sanctioned violence sold as
entertainment.
Economic collapse across Europe as
countries start to fall apart, the far right look to unite these
divisions through scapegoating and blame, the right and left turn to
populist politics, when all along they've ignored the peoples views
with false promises and U-turns.
Moral decline, the rich get rich and
stay rich, while the poor get poorer. Let them eat junk food, let
them watch junk TV, keep them drunk on cheep booze, distract them
with flag waving spectacles like Jubilees and Olympic games.
Let the people give away their freedoms
by getting them addicted to technology. A digital age of close
circuit hard drive mobile phone network surveillance. Who needs to
think for themselves when you've got an app to do it for you.
Social network junkies. Tap, tap,
tapping out another facebook fix. In a self obsessed narcissistic
celebrity culture everyone feels famous amongst their twitter
followers. Tweet, tweet, tweet....TWATS!

Hi Nuzz
while i was looking for stuff from a band called SYCDUCK on the tinterweb i found a post here from april 2007 from them.they were an awesome band.an old friend of mine was reaalyy good mates with the singer and i used to have a bunch of demo cassettes at home from them.i still have one knocking around somewhere that i will send you if and when i get round to copying it to digital.althoughh be prepared to wait a while,im not very good with technology.ill probably get a nephew to do it for me.if you still have the post anywhere at home is there any a chance you could possibly repost it mate.they were a feckin great band and i was beginning to think i was the only one who remembered them.i just ordered a cd of theirs from amazon for 99p called magic beans which i will send you a copy of when i get it if you like?
