The far left being classy on 9/11

Category: Politics

CMU reports that the far left are being respectful as per normal.

KLF MAN PUTS 9/11 TRACK ONLINE FOR ONE DAY ONLY James Cauty, a founding member of The KLF and The Orb, is making a track called ‘Silent Night’ available via the web for today and today only in recognition of the second anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks. Talking to Aussie website Undercover Cauty explains: “I recorded the track a while ago and a few days ago I realized it was going to be the 9/11 anniversary. We wanted to respond to what was going on.”

The track is released under the artist moniker of Blacksmoke, “an occasional
art collective and musical group” who have just completed an EP called ‘Fuck
the Fucking Fuckers’. “It is a concept EP, the concept being fuck America
basically and fuck weapons of mass destruction. It is like a protest record.
It is the kind of record that you would want to put on if you are going to
go out on a riot. We do feel quite angry about what has been going on with
the war”.

‘Silent Night’

Wouldn’t it be too bad if some angry American hacked their site today? It would just be such a great shame. Or maybe someone, with relatives in NYC, might beat the living crap out of this piece of excrement. Wonder if the media would see that as a “political statement” too.

    Remember the KLF?
    No, not some “save the animals” group, but one of the outfits that popularised Techno way back in the early

    “Fuck the Fucking Fuckers”

    Elegant. Subtle. As if inspired by the very muses themselves.

    ”...the kind of record that you would want to put on if you are going to go out on a riot.”

    Oh, good. No loss when I smash the piece of crap under the heel of my shoe.
