Hadda Been Playing On The Jukebox - Written by Allen Ginsberg

2008-11-27T15:32:10Z

It had to be flashin' like the daily double
It had to be playin' on TV
It had to be loud mouthed on the comedy hour
It had to be announced over loud speakers

The CIA and the Mafia are in cahoots

It had to be said in old ladies' language
It had to be said in American headlines
Kennedy stretched and smiled and got double crossed by lowlife goons and agents
Rich bankers with criminal connections
Dope pushers in CIA working with dope pushers from Cuba working with a
big time syndicate from Tampa, Florida
And it had to be said with a big mouth

It had to be moaned over factory foghorns
It had to be chattered on car radio news broadcasts
It had to be screamed in the kitchen
It had to be yelled in the basement where uncles were fighting

It had to be howled on the streets by newsboys to bus conductors
It had to be foghorned into New York harbor
It had to echo onto hard hats
It had to turn up the volume in university ballrooms

It had to be written in library books, footnoted
It had to be in the headlines of the Times and Le Monde
It had to be barked on TV
It had to be heard in alleys through ballroom doors

It had to be played on wire services
It had to be bells ringing
Comedians stopped dead in the middle of a joke in Las Vegas

It had to be FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover and Frank Costello syndicate
mouthpiece meeting in Central Park, New York weekends,
reported Time magazine

It had to be the Mafia and the CIA together starting war on Cuba,
Bay of Pigs and poison assassination headlines

It had to be dope cops in the Mafia
Who sold all their heroin in America

It had to be the FBI and organized crime working together
in cahoots against the commies

It had to be ringing on multinational cash registers
A world-wide laundry for organized criminal money

It had to be the CIA and the Mafia and the FBI together
They were bigger than Nixon
And they were bigger than war

It had to be a large room full of murder
It had to be a mounted ass- a solid mass of rage
A red hot pen
A scream in the back of the throat

It had to be a kid that can breathe
It had to be in Rockefellers' mouth
It had to be central intelligence, the family, allofthis, the agency Mafia
It had to be organized crime

One big set of gangs working together in cahoots

Hitmen
Murderers everywhere

The secret
The drunk
The brutal
The dirty rich

On top of a slag heap of prisons
Industrial cancer
Plutonium smog
Garbage cities

Grandmas' bed soft from fathers' resentment

It had to be the rulers
They wanted law and order
And they got rich on wanting protection for the status quo

They wanted junkies
They wanted Attica
They wanted Kent State
They wanted war in Indochina

It had to be the CIA and the Mafia and the FBI

Multinational capitalists
Strong armed squads
Private detective agencies for the rich
And their armies and navies and their air force bombing planes

It had to be capitalism
The vortex of this rage
This competition
Man to man

The horses head in a capitalists' bed
The Cuban turf
It rumbles in hitmen
And gang wars across oceans

Bombing Cambodia settled the score when Soviet pilots
manned Egyptian fighter planes

Chiles' red democracy
Bumped off with White House pots and pans

A warning to Mediterranean governments

The secret police have been embraced for decades

The NKPD and CIA keep each other's secrets
The OGBU and DIA never hit their own
The KGB and the FBI are one mind

Brute force and full of money
Brute force, world-wide, and full of money
Brute force, world-wide, and full of money
Brute force, world-wide, and full of money
Brute force, world-wide, and full of money

It had to be rich and it had to be powerful
They had to murder in Indonesia 500000
They had to murder in Indochina 2000000
They had to murder in Czechoslovakia
They had to murder in Chile
They had to murder in Russia

And they had to murder in America

Walking past Blockbuster video last night and to my utter disgust i see in the window a poster for World Trade Center!!!!on dvd. Now i'M really sorry for those of whom who lost their lives and loved ones in the disaster but just HOW MACH CAN AMERICA FIT IT'S SELF UP IT'S OWN ASS?

I know lets make a film about what happened in Dunblane on 13 March 1996.... i think not!!!! or how about how America was colonized and it's land raped and the native people slaughtered, or how about a lil diddy about president who signs his soul off to the devil and the dollar bill and who ever else whats a piece for a price?

How can something so BIG be stuck in a bubble?

AMERICA FUCK YEAH

I am a subtle flavour, quiet and polite, gentle, almost ambient. My presence in crowds will often go unnoticed. Best not to spill me on your clothes though, I can leave a nasty stain. What Flavour Are You?

We believed that the widespread use of psychedelic drugs in modern society is somehow rooted to the intuition that exploration and re-assimilation of so-called magical dimensions is the next valid step in humanity's collective search for liberation.

Arran Folk Festival

2006-06-12T10:43:40Z

Well everything went really well though there were a few nikups, first there was the van clutch cable breaking just after we got off the ferry on Arran which was really lucky so we got towed to the to the venue which was Brodick town hall, and was fixed the following day.

Lovely venue holds up to about 250 people and has a pretty posh balcony and a stage that would rival a few drama societies. Set up with finished with in a few hours with help from Tom but the lighting desk was i bit harder to figure out since i'd never used one to like it before, did almost freak me out at one point.

On the first night there was a solo artist on guitar and singing he was really good followed by the main act Makinky who also where really good but did talk too much between each songs. Due to the limited knowledge of the desk i kept it really simple just fadng to different colours and setting a mood for each song. I also got a big thank you from Steve from Malinky from making him feel like a rock star.

Second nigh there was an older gentleman who even though he turn up late still expecting a sound check ended up being pretty good and apparently used to write songs for the BBC he was frollowed by the Average Folk Band who where really amazing a got loads of people up dancing including Chelle though she didn't get much of a choice with Dawn the promoter draging her up to dance which was good. By this time i'd figured out a few more controls on the desk so saw able to make it a bit more funky then a night before plus the band where more up lifting the the prevous night.

After the gig finished Tom and i took everything down and packed up the van with in an hour. we had a few Arran beers, smoked a spliff then was off bed to get in te next day to drive back to glasgow to drop off the van and equimment then bus it back to Edinburgh and get our puppy back from Rob and Olivia who where looking after him while we where away.

Looking at some of the film we took of the second night gives me idea's of what i'd do differently it was a great experiance being solo in a way, even though Tom was there he's still a sound tek not a lampy but it would not of been as quick a set up and my confidence would not been as good if he'd not been there. I can see the miskates i did over the weekend and have learned a whole lots more cant wiat for my next light job to come next.

Also after having to get Chelle to drive the transit van she's decided thats she's fallen in LOVE and that instead of getting a car we're going to get a van.

Chelle wants Van,

Chelle wants Van, Chelle wants Van,

Chelle wants Van,

Chelle wants Van, Chelle wants Van,

Chelle wants Van,

Chelle wants Van, Chelle wants Van,

Chelle wants Van!!!

This kicks ass All Your Base Are Belong To Us

In 1989 the video game Zero Wing was released. One of its most notable features was its terrible translations from Japanese to English. This game has morphed into a video production, enhanced with catchy music and a collection of rather amusing pictures. It has become a cult classic.

This classic video is here for your enjoyment!
