More than 60,000 people marched through the streets of London on Sunday (April 30) in response to a call by the Anti-Nazi League, a new group which is determined to halt the political progress in Britain of the National Front, a right-wing party with racialist policies. The marchers gathered in Trafalgar Square with their banners, and accompanied by music groups they walked through the multi-racial East End of London, which was deliberately chosen because the National Front has been trying to make political gains there. The march and rally passed off peacefully, and ended with a free rock music concert in Victoria Park, Hackney
I was there. Old time Antifa action. The Clash headlining at Victoria Park. I marched practically all the way from Trafalgar Square with my late friend Mike Hart's son Stephen on my shoulders. If you don't know the story of  why RAR was formed thEn read this

To start with some amazing pics of Paris circa 1900. How noise became music. Music while you work. Where's Australia? (I arrived wherever it is 29 years ago today.) Putin & polygamy. Best TV news bomb ever. An amazing piece by Oliver sacks on facing death. Death is never easy. Fucker. More fuckers. You've been misled on boat people. The true cost of outsourcing. Vollmann. Fuck you Turkey. Murdoch's paper lying? HA! Will the NRA ever get it? Was there a riot? Grandmaster Flash loses his valuables. The world's first drum machine. Legalise psychedelics. eL Seed. The alphabet redesigned one letter a day. I like this Kobe Bryant font. Inside the strange dynamic of Reclaim Australia's rallies. I'm going for the Trojan Horse. The next UPF rally is set for Cronulla?!? Nice to see that Blair says all of us Antifa types will be executed or sent to labour camps after they have won the revolution lol. They've been having a bit of a problem with rallying music. Remember we are not who we think we are.
Finally Labor you made a BIG mistake not electing Albo as leader...

The Angry Brigade: Communiques & Chronology

The Angry Brigade (1974 - Gordon Carr)
Between 1970 and 1972 the Angry Brigade used guns and bombs in a series of symbolic attacks against property. A series of communiqués accompanied the actions, explaining the choice of targets and the Angry Brigade philosophy: autonomous organisation and attacks on property alongside other forms of militant working class action. Targets included the embassies of repressive regimes, police stations and army barracks, boutiques and factories, government departments and the homes of Cabinet ministers, the Attorney General and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. These attacks on the homes of senior political figures increased the pressure for results and brought an avalanche of police raids. From the start the police were faced with the difficulty of getting to grips with a section of society they found totally alien. And were they facing an organisation — or an idea? Gordon Carr's film explores covers the roots of the Angry Brigade in the revolutionary ferment of the 1960's and the anarchist First of May Group, and follows their campaign and the police investigation to its culmination in the 'Stoke Newington 8' conspiracy trial at the Old Bailey — the longest criminal trial in British legal history. It remains the essential study of Britain’s first urban guerrilla group.
Persons Unknown (1980 - Gordon Carr)
Documentary by Gordon Carr on the so-called 'Persons Unknown' case in December 1979 in which members of the Anarchist Black Cross were tried at the Old Bailey on a charge of 'conspiring with persons unknown, at places unknown to cause explosions'.
A concise look at the 'Persons Unknown' trial. A fascinating snapshot of history in the making, The Persons Unknown pieces together an intricate web of radicals at a thriller’s pace. Carr crisply relates the correspondences of a Black Cross secretary and imprisoned Irish republican and reaches all the way back to the Paris Commune to discuss the secretive, internationalist elements of radical leftist politics. Where mainstream media tends to become hysterical where anarchism is concerned, The Persons Unknown remains keenly factual throughout. Among those featured in the film are Stuart Christie, publisher of the "Black Flag" newsletter and former would-be Generalisimo Francisco Franco assassin, and the anarcho-punk group Crass.

Radio sitcom pilot written by Frankie Boyle and Steven Dick. A black comedy set in a family-owned theatre.
Starring David Mitchell, Lorna Watson, Poppy Rush, Chris Ramsey, Carolyn Pickles, David Cann, Joe Shavin.
Aired 5th June 2014

Recorded at live Islington Mill on 31st May 2015 as part of John Doran's month long UK tour with Arabrot. This is a unique one off Gnod improvisation along with John giving two readings from his book, Jolly Lad. The result is a dank, claustrophobic bus ride through Manchester's rain swept streets followed by a moment of complete clarity amongst the chaos.
Tesla Tapes feels this unique show had to be documented because the show and the night was special and the recording came out so flipping good.
Props to all involved.

Just got home comatose after finishing up the final leg of our 14 month tour for Swans To Be Kind album. We have come to your town, though it's doubtful we have partied down. It has been a privilege to be inside the sound that on some nights seems to create itself of its own accord, and it's gratifying that many of you have conveyed to us that it's been a positive experience for you too... Next step: Sept 1 we commence a new Swans album. This will be the final Swans album (and subsequent tour) for this version / iteration of Swans. Not really sure what the next step will be after that, but that's perhaps a good thing... We'll be making a live album/fundraiser (called The Gate) soon, in order to raise the necessary - somewhat daunting - capital for the studio album, which is bound to be an insatiable beast... more soon, Thanks and Love! - Michael Gira
