12.12.11 // 17.00-18.30
Thinking/writing about wars fought by major powers & how to represent them in music as theme, manifesto and ambiance: featured Dub, dubstep, ambient, minimal, and actual samples of resisting soldiers + Charlie Chaplin. The impoverishment, brainwashing, brutal recruitment tactics, the discarding of soldiers upon return, the fake ribbon-on-tree patriotism, nationalism as a cover for capital profit, frightening numbers of soldier suicides, hopeful numbers of returning soldiers becoming activists against war. Having not had educations stateside, they only learn the empty, hollow appeals to patriotic fervor in the field.
Did this show after seeing the film Beer is Cheaper than Therapy and writing about it at Beer Mystic Burp #15: http://www.sensitiveskinmagazine.com/beer-mystic-burp-15-beer-as-therapy/
