DIFFICULT [END OF] MUSIC FESTIVAL |
"X-No MSG-X was up next, a totally trashed display of non-sensical screaming and out of control exhibitionism which doesn’t warrant serious comment, though the miniature rave that emerged after much spazzing about did excite the kids."

"...groups
like N.W.A were saying things that we wanted to say but were
afraid to say because of the past history between our people
and police. We were stolen by the policeman, we were taken away
by the policeman, we were rounded up and impounded by the policeman.
So we were sort of conditioned to not rebel against that in
such a public way, like screaming out Fuck the police!"

"...Anthony Guerra, Matt Earle,
Sumugan Sivanesan and Nick Dan ruck 'n' wreck the classic bass,
drums, guitar combo into a thick, crunchy gale of righteous
off-kilter riot-groove. The piece ends with a long and beautiful
neon ribbon of feedback that carves a vivid sine-wave of blood-red
intensity across a stage scene fading to black and bleeding
carmine crimson around the after image of a group on fire."

THE BALLAD OF DAVID HICKS |
December
9 2006 marks 5 years that Australian citizen, David Hicks has
been held at Guantanamo Bay – without trial, having broken
no laws, and still having had no charges brought against him!
Hicks
has been isolated in solitary confinement, since March this year,
and according to his defense counsel Major
Michael Mori, has been subject to torture and abuse.
The military commissions which were to try him, were found illegal
by the US Supreme court in June 2006, for amongst other things,
violating the 1949 Geneva Conventions, and brought to an immediate
halt. (The new commissions which were set up in October, are currently
being challenged in the US courts, so it would still be several
years before Hicks would be
brought to trial regardless...).
The US will not tolerate having its own citizens tried via such
a system, and nor will countries such as the UK, Bahrain, Denmark,
France, Jordan, Pakistan, Russia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Spain,
Sweden and even Afghanistan, which have all sought and secured
the release of their own citizens.
According to Major Michael Mori, the Australian Government need
only ask and Hicks would be released immediately. As of December
2006 the Australian Government have still refused to do so. |
