Sonic Youth - A thousand leaves

there you go, Tim ;) you should really thank the moderators for that... now you can download the "we did not authorize" file...

it would be great that MGB had published a DVD with a concert and some interviews and all that stuff ;)

As far as I know, he has played that intro in the Edmonton (November 13) and Toronto (November 23)'s shows

I agree with the fact that AOB is a great album... actually, it is my most favorite MG(B)'s album... and Matt has many times commented why that album seems to have been "forgotten" (it hasn't actually because he has played some songs from that album in the last tour), since it was the last album before they broke up and it doesnt bring him good memories of that period... but I must also admit that he has improved, both musically and lyrically: in ALL bands there is an evolution, I always think it is for better, and - as someone else has already said - his stuff as MG without the B is MUCH BETTER than much shit which is around... I'm proud of his evolution in all senses and of being able to create even different kinds of music/lyrics along the years... I just hope he keeps on that track

PJ Harvey - Down by the water

in most of the shows in this last tour: sometimes playing 21st century living right afterwards, other times starting just with the "we did not authorize" speech + another song (apparitions, blue skies...) although he hasn't used it in all the shows in the last tour, but in many of them

I personally love - and that's one of the reasons why I like MG - his commitment with social issues... I just think that music is an art and we are living IN a society which needs to denounce all the unjustices... If i was an artist, i would also use my art to denouce what's happening around me MG is not an exceptional songs writer, music writer... he's also a human being who cares for the others and, by the way, i love the line "George is teaching the kids to fight": it is just reality, it is just what's happening

Fortunately, Bush has had his "piece of rejection" in the latest international convention in Chile... I hope this is the beginning of a more international rejection all over the world he visits: Published on Saturday, November 20, 2004 by Reuters Anti-Bush Protesters Battle Police at Chile Summit by Jason Webb SANTIAGO, Chile - Hooded anti-American marchers protesting an Asia-Pacific summit in Chile Friday hurled Molotov cocktails and stones at police who retaliated with water cannons and tear gas. A large march against the weekend meeting of 21 leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum turned violent when a few dozen youths broke away from the main group to attack police. About 100 people were arrested and four were injured, police said. President Bush arrived late Friday for a visit that has been a lightning rod for protests. Tens of thousands of people streamed through central Santiago carrying banners and chanting slogans against the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq, including "Fascist Bush is a terrorist." The area hit by the violence was small and had no effect on pre-summit bilateral talks between APEC leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's President Hu Jintao. All 21 leaders meet Saturday and Sunday. Ministers paving the way for the weekend meeting have discussed ways to revive global trade talks launched in Doha three years ago. Cooperation against international terrorism is also on the agenda, at the urging of countries including the United States and Russia. The nuclear arms programs of North Korea, one of few Asian-Pacific countries not part of APEC, will be one of the main security topics in bilateral meetings such as Hu's talks with South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun Friday and the Hu-Bush summit Saturday. 'MUTUAL DISTRUST' "Everyone is very clear that the extreme mutual distrust between the two major parties -- the U.S. and the DPRK (North Korea) -- is the biggest barrier" to resolving a two-year-old impasse, said Chinese foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan. China's Hu has taken advantage of his South American trip to guarantee supplies of key commodities for his booming economy. He launched free-trade talks with Chile, the world's largest copper exporter, and agreed to begin work on a market-opening pact with New Zealand. China also promised investments during Hu's visits to soy-producing Brazil and Argentina. Police estimated the number of marchers at 25,000, but protest leaders said the real number was 70,000. "The turnout is much bigger than we'd expected. This is a polite response to Bush's barbarity," said Ernesto Medina, a march organizer. APEC officials were far away in their hotels or in a convention center overlooking the foothills of the Andes on the outskirts of Santiago. Protest organizers from leftist, indigenous and environmental groups said the rights of workers and the need to protect the environment were being ignored in the free-trade agreements promoted by APEC members. A violent minority pulled shirts over their faces and started throwing rocks when the march ended in Santiago's Bustamante park. They smashed park benches and burned a U.S. flag. Police doused them with water cannons and fired tear gas from armored vehicles at protesters who dodged behind trees. Chile's government canceled all police leave and decreed a public holiday in Santiago Friday as part of the strict security.

I would, but I don't think a hotmail account may have enough quota to accept an MP3... the easiest way would be to download it from the Hub (you seem to have problems with that, though) or ask the moderators if they would be so king to include it in the "download" NF$ section ;)

Speech By Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) To The Southern California Americans for Democratic Action. February 17, 2002 Los Angeles, California A Prayer for America "Our Congress gave the President the ability to respond to the tragedy of September 11. We licensed a response to those who helped bring the terror of September 11th. But we the people and our elected representatives must reserve the right to measure the response, to proportion the response, to challenge the response, and to correct the response. Because we did not authorize the invasion of Iraq. We did not authorize the invasion of Iran. We did not authorize the invasion of North Korea. We did not authorize the bombing of civilians in Afghanistan. We did not authorize permanent detainees in Guantanamo Bay. We did not authorize the withdrawal from the Geneva Convention. We did not authorize military tribunals suspending due process and habeas corpus. We did not authorize assassination squads. We did not authorize the resurrection of COINTELPRO. We did not authorize the repeal of the Bill of Rights. We did not authorize the revocation of the Constitution. We did not authorize national identity cards. We did not authorize the eye of Big Brother to peer from cameras throughout our cities. We did not authorize an eye for an eye. Nor did we ask that the blood of innocent people, who perished on September 11, be avenged with the blood of innocent villagers in Afghanistan. We did not authorize the administration to wage war anytime, anywhere,anyhow it pleases. We did not authorize war without end. We did not authorize a permanent war economy..."

I just wanted you to read an article related to Bush's visit to Canada, the country of most of you, which has really impressed me... http://www.zmag.org/content/print_article....0&sectionID=102 ZNet | Canada Bush in Canada by Justin Podur; November 18, 2004 There used to be two mainstream politicians with a spine in Canada. Svend Robinson from British Columbia was a member of the social democrat New Democratic Party (NDP). He visited the Occupied Palestinian Territories and was virtually alone in calling public attention to Israel's atrocities there. He challenged Canada's role in the coup in Haiti. He was critical of US imperial adventures. Activists got in touch with him when they wanted questions raised in Parliament. Then the poor guy stole a ring from an auction, turned himself in immediately, and retired from politics in disgrace, reducing the number of active Canadian politicians with some integrity by somewhere around 50%. Carolyn Parrish is the one who's left. She is from the suburbs of Toronto and is a member of the ruling Liberal Party, although that party's leader, Prime Minister Paul Martin has publicly joked about how he and Bush want to send her to Mars. Carrolyn Parrish appeared on a Canadian political comedy show, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, stomping on a little Bush doll and smiling. She's called Bush 'warlike', said she was 'dumbfounded' that so many Americans had voted for him, and said that "that country is completely out of step with most of the free world." Nothing gets punished in politics like pointing out what is utterly obvious, though. So Martin removed Parrish from the Liberal caucus. The media are full of unflattering pictures of Parrish and accompanying admonishing editorials about her 'anti-American' behaviour. The most craven figures in Canadian politics, found in the Conservative Alliance party, had slimy comments like the one made by Peter MacKay, a Conservative leader: "Think about the businesses in this country that are being affected and the families and the farmers and the forest industry." That is what people should do before they think about the shredding of international law, the widespread use of torture, at least a hundred thousand killed, the desire to unleash new generations of nuclear weapons on the world. Luckily Canada's left political party leader found his spine - oh, no, wait, no he didn't. Jack Layton did the same kind of disappointing politicking that is becoming his trademark, despite integrity being the only thing the NDP could conceivably have to trade on. According to CTV News: 'Mr. Layton said he wants to have a meeting with Mr. Bush to raise his opposition to the missile defence shield - although such an audience would be a rarity. "We believe that that's the way to go about it. I don't believe the House of Commons is a place for disrespect," he said. Ms. Parrish's joke film, stomping on a Bush doll, is "sad," Mr. Layton said. "It takes away from the issues that we should be addressing when it comes to George Bush, which is his policies on the weaponization of space, the growing arms race, the trade policy disputes that we have, the Patriot Act and its impact on Canadian privacy. This trivializes all of that, and I think that's unfortunate."' Layton apparently didn't "think it unfortunate" that he couldn't find the words 'Haiti', 'Afghanistan', 'Palestine', 'Iraq', 'Fallujah', or 'Abu Ghraib' in his list of "issues we should be addressing when it comes to George Bush". For the record, it should be acknowledged that Carolyn Parrish and the comedians at 22 minutes showed an appalling lack of imagination. Rather than stomping on the doll, Parrish ought to have assembled a half-dozen naked effigies of Bush and built a human pyramid out of them (that's called 'position abuse', and apparently sexual humiliation really works well on 'those kinds' of dolls). She could also have, say, taken a Bush doll to an evangelical church, covered it with a blanket, and shot it in the head at close range. Or perhaps she could have let the Bush doll walk down the street, perhaps after doing some shopping, and blow it up with a 500-pound bomb. The denunciations from Canadian politicians after those acts would at least have been less boring. And all this in advance of Bush coming to Canada on November 30. No wonder politicians are so scared. They know that the Canadian population is a little less "out of step with the rest of the world" than they are, and they don't want them crashing their chance to smooth things over with the emperor. That's why none of them, not even Layton, dares mention Iraq, and that's why Parrish had to be punished so severely. Canada has a long history of complicity in US crimes. The Vietnam war was the worst example, though Haiti and Afghanistan are more recent and ongoing. Since 9/11, though, as United States foreign policy has gotten more aggressive and blatant in its violations of human rights and international law, it has forced other countries to decide whether they wanted to be vassals or pay some unspecified price. Most of the rich countries have looked on in uncomfortable silence, looking for cheap opportunities to make peace with the US on the bones of helpless peoples like the Palestinians or Haitians. The Iraq war, however, and the crazy nuclear schemes, are less popular even with elites. Canada's elite has always been split between a really craven bunch who want to become part of the US (Peter MacKay's comment is indicative, as is his Conservative Alliance party or the daily newspaper The National Post on any given day) and a more ambivalent group who thought they could do better on their own. The independent-minded elite gets weaker by the day, but there are still strains of it even in the Liberal Party, where some know that even the most eager imperial stooges will have a hard time convincing Canadians to sign up (although now that Fox News is coming to Canada, maybe things will get easier for Bush boosters in Canada). When elites are divided and unsure, protests can make a big difference. There is not a lot of time to mobilize, but people, unlike politicians or the media, don't have selective amnesia and are capable of remembering strange concepts like 'Iraq', 'Haiti', and 'occupation'. The bigger and more spirited the protests, the better. The United States is the most dangerous force in the world right now. Canadians know that, and will be sympathetic to protesters on this, as they were during the anti-globalization protests in the late 1990s. Canada signing on to the US project publicly and unconditionally, as Bush will try to get Martin to do, will strengthen US ambitions and help break the international isolation that is one of the only things that can weaken the US onslaught against the world right now. Canada moving away from its cozy complicity, on the other hand, and publicly distancing itself from the US, would be a significant help to beleaguered people in Iraq, Palestine, Haiti, Afghanistan. Bush and Martin have handed us an opportunity. There's not a lot of time, but there are a lot of people within a few hours of Ottawa (including Americnas, who are of course welcome!) who don't want Canada participating in massacres and imperial adventures. Various groups from Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal, and from the vigil to the more confrontational, are mobilizing to meet Bush in Ottawa on November 30/December 1. If you can be there, be there!
