Electric Sheep Comix needs you!

Patrick Forley is asking for funds to jump start Electric Sheep Comix. If you've already saved all the children, whales and trees you could with your money, I don't see any cause more worthwhile than this one!

Spiders, his most interesting piece, consists of an assemblage of web-pages that you have to scroll in different directions depending on the specific page, with simulated web-pages included when the story demands it. It recounts the story of a fictitious afghan war perpetrated by the USA with Al Gore at its presidential head. The point of view is a blend of the main characters and also of the spiders, in essence mobile webcams, that the folks at home control and monitor. What you might call a war effort@home! The story is very well laid out, with some strong storylines that keep you fascinated, and the devices of the webpages, animated gifs and links mixed in with the narration never feel gimicky, quite the opposite, as they really add depth to the story. Unfortunatly, only the first 3 parts were published; the fourth, which was supposed to come out in 2004, still has to appear. Nonetheless, it's a gratifying read. And it's far from the only interesting piece you'll find on Electric Sheep.

The odd, the sword and the petit.

Not much comments needed on this one. Except that the world is just one huge freak show waiting for the right stage.

'Fatta' Mixing 'This Land Is Not For Sale' by Indigenous Resistance/Asian Dub Foundation

This is a live dub mix done by Jamaican engineer Lynford 'Fatta' Marshall of the track 'This land Is Not For Sale' a collaboration between Asian Dub Foundation & Indigenous Resistance (www.dubreality.com) and the radical people of Atenco, Mexico. Fatta grew up watching King Tubby mix and has mixed Dennis Brown, Sizzla & Black Uhuru among others.

Indigenous Resistance!!!

The themes of IR18.3 are dub , the land is not for sale, the situation in Atenco, Mexico and a special collaboration with Asian Dub Foundation around that issue.

ATENCO is a classic indigenous land rights struggle: the Mexican government wants to build an airport and eject the people who live there, the people fight back and win. Although, the government tries again, this time with more soldiers and more brute force: killing, raping and imprisoning the “insurgents.” A 14 year old boy is shot and 12 people are imprisoned; some given extremely harsh prison sentences of 100 years.

The media coverage out of Mexico regarding it is massively biased, siding with the governments’ view. You can watch an excellent documentary on Atenco “Breaking the Siege” on YouTube

In Mexico there is a very powerful and inspiring grass roots campaign against these injustices, the main organisations are Libertad Y Justica para Atenco and the People’s Front for the Defense of the Land (FPDT). Both are affiliated to the EZLN’s “Other Campaign” which aims to unite all autonomous resistance in the country

Asian Dub Foundation played some concerts in Mexico last year. To the press and from the stage, ADF spoke out about Atenco. After one of their shows they were honored to find a delegation from the people's front for the defense of the land waiting for them, including a woman whose husband was one of the 12 political prisoners. The delegation thanked ADF for being outspoken about their plight and made a special presentation to them of their neckscarves. The scarves had a picture of Zapata and emblazoned with their slogan saying their land is not for sale. They also gave ADF with an audio recording of a very powerful speech about Atenco. This speech became the catalyst and backbone of the track “This Land Is Not For Sale”.

For some time, IR had been aware of the siege of Atenco and had been following the news through its direct and underground channels. When Asian Dub Foundation contacted us about working on a collaboration around this issue, it made perfect sense to us. Land rights are the center of many indigenous struggles and IR has done tracks & grafitti projects related to this matter. With tracks on recent IR releases, we have hoped to illuminate the independence movement in West Papua, the The Free West Papua Movement (OPM), the struglge of the Krikati people of Brasil, and the Minga Indigenia of Colombia. This new collaboration was created through the internet with musical mixes, speech fragments, and ideas flying back and forward in the digital domain. IR’s network of dubversive members working in shadows across the Americas from Peru to Colombia,ÃŠmade their contributions by editing, transcribing, translating and recordings. These were relayed via the net to ADF in the UK. Special shoutouts to alexadub, dubitista,manueladub, the ghost ,sistah dub, gabriella dub, and dubdem from the (IR) crew and chandrasonic, sun j, bobby dubman from (ADF) All this work culminated with the track being mixed in Jamaica by IR and engineer Lynford “Fatta” Marshall. “Fatta” grew up watching and learning from King Tubby, which you can can hear in his glorious mix magic to the dub. Fatta, himself, has mixed everyone from Sizzla, Dennis Brown and Black Uhuru to Luciano, Beres Hammond and Marcia Griffiths,.you can watch him in action on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMiUMQsSQ1s

on this dubcast you can hear the tracks created and learn more about Atenco and at the same time savour some serious dubwise and dubversive music.

Atenco: Breaking the Siege / Romper el cerco

This video analyzes the events in San Salvador Atenco during the first days of May, 2006 and denounces the violation of the civilian population's human rights by state and federal police forces. The documentary deconstructs the mass media's operating methods, which were responsible for creating a climate of fear and an information blockade on the events in San Salvador Atenco, in the midst of an especially delicate situation: the 2006 process of presidential succession in Mexico.
