Apologies if this old news but it's new to me.
Not the London Riots, but this clip explains more than those lip-flapping media c*nts could manage in the days following the LDN Uprising.

.: Shut up about 9\11 .. unless you are KRS1

Video Link

In this video interview from WeAreChange, hip-hop legend KRS-1 expounds on 9/11, asking why the Zadroga Act isn’t providing more medical coverage for first responders, explaining how his South Bronx roots informed his experience and feelings about the day’s tragic events, and discussing his and other rappers’ skepticism of the mainstream media and its official take on the attacks. “I’ve been criticized in the past for not being as sensitive as I probably should be to the event itself, and that’s warranted,” he says. “I slept in the World Trade Center when I was homeless, back in ’83 to ’85…to the hood, the Trade Center looked like two horns in the sky. We didn’t have nothing to do with that building. We know that the wealth of the people was getting sucked into them two towers. That’s what we know”

- The video portrays and lends space to those otherwise ostracized by society - the hunted and discriminated. Drug addicts, crazies, prowlers and prostitutes have no place in society and few sympathise with them. These people are the biggest losers in history.

- We depicted them as animals of equal standing - crows, rodents and raccoons and transformed them into beautiful and powerful survivors.

.: Doc - Underground Resistance

Underground Resistance is a label for a movement. A movement that wants change by sonic revolution. We urge you to join the resistance and help us combat the mediocre audio and visual programming that is being fed to the inhabitants of Earth, this programming is stagnating the minds of the people; building a wall between races and preventing world peace. It is this wall we are going to smash. By using the untapped energy potential of sound we are going to destroy this wall much the same as certain frequencies shatter glass. Techno is a music based in experimentation; it is music for the future of the human race. Without this music there will be no peace, no love, no vision. By simply communicating through sound, techno has brought people of all different nationalities together under one roof to enjoy themselves. Isn't it obvious that music and dance are the keys to the universe? So called primitive animals and tribal humans have known this for thousands of years! We urge all brothers and sisters of the underground to create and transmit their tones and frequencies no matter how so called primitive their equipment may be. Transmit these tones and wreak havoc on the programmers!

.: LHF - Akashic Visions

Just looked in on Blackdown, [It's been one of my favourite blogs for a while now],
and this track and video instantly grabbed me, and I had to post.
It has a Detroit/to/London/via/Afghanistanfransico atmosphere that resonates across 20 years of culture [that I have witnessed], whilst sounding like the future.
Oh yeah, ..and then the beat drops.

 "Akashic Visions" is a cut taken from the forthcoming LHF début and double album,
 "Keepers of the Light" on Keysound Recordings. |   Video Directed by the mighty Skely Tor, a true Light Keeper.

.: Aidex '91

Over the last week, I am ashamed to say, I have been working on an international arms trade fair.

Right here in the middle of Sydney - at Darling Harbour.
Called the Pacific Maritime Expo, it didn't even seem to raise an eyebrow.

I wanted to walk out on the first day,

- walk out of an event that offends every one of the principles I so readily espouse.

But I found, in Sydney 2012, those principles are too expensive for people like me.
Living week to week, it seems I can no longer afford them.

Part of my soul has died.

It seemed none of my friends shared my outrage, as I ranted about the injustice, after my first day there.

Don't get passionate about something anymore, -you could be mistaken for a fanatic.

A terrorist.

Too gutless to try and sabotage the event when I had the chance.., as if I could..

Even if I knew how to make a bomb belt without killing myself [hard],

-and got it into the set up [easy],

I wouldn't come near to taking out any of the real scumbags,

I would have only taken out the contractors, working poor like me.

The whole thing was done low key, and at first we thought it was just a boat show,

But it soon became clear, this was a full on Naval Military Expo.

Drones, missiles, and surviellance bugs that look like jellyfish,

- the future is inhuman.

When I told the people around me what this event was really about
..all I got was blank stares.

No-one, it seemed, remembered AIDEX.
Over 20 years ago now.

I wasn't there, but I remember the response in the community.

This video was produced for CAT TV by John Jacobs,

a true hero and a creative inspiration.

.: Death Grips - Exmilitary

Call me out of touch, but I just heard Death Grips for the first time.

I won't try and describe it, you should just listen, if you haven't already.

The album, 'Exmilitary' is available as a free download at thirdworlds - or you can listen to a stream from Soundcloud after the page jump..

.: YouTube 'hacks'.

Ok - Not really hacks, as much as URLs that utilise youtube in a novel way.

SHOW ME x NON-STOP - This URL allows you to type in a search term and you will be streamed nonstop fullscreen clips. Good for party visuals, stitching up co-workers and wasting your download quota.

Network Awesome - A kind of retro web-channel, lovingly curated from the well stocked bowels of youtube. Presenting 6 hours of thought provoking and eyeopening footage everyday, along with original reviews and companion articles. Network Awesome also has an impressive archive of obscure and esoteric video gems.

Create Your Own Mixtape This site is a kind of advertisment (for some movie called  'Submarine') - however, it's also a very good idea. It lets you compile a mixtape from any youtube clip and share the result. Because, youtube is now the easiest place to find obscure recordings on the internet, obviously...
