Dear IFPI
That is the second time that you have deleted a file that I have uploaded citing piracy issues. The file in question is Little Feat's 'Electrif Lycanthrope' which is available here at the Internet Archive: http://archive.org/details/lf1974-09-19.flac16. It was mixed by Lowell George and its availability is fully sanctioned by the band themselves. It also - this second time of uploading at my post - had had 3 downloads. So that is a FUGN MASSIVE win against 'alleged' piracy (and I use the term loosely in a non legalese way.)
By the way who are you working for if not on the artist's behalf?
One Day in September
One Day in September is a 1999 documentary film directed by Kevin
Macdonald examining the 5 September 1972 murder of 11 Israeli athletes
at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany.
Pop music too loud and all sounds the same: official
!!!At a loss for words and yes I am over 35!!!
This blog is now officially an Olympic free zone
I am however counting down
the hours til the jingoistic shouts of 'Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi,
Oi' shall scream from every newspaper cover and be shouted from every
street corner by flag wearing
Australians really proud that their country is up there with the greats
and forgetting for a moment that each gold that Australia WILL win costs
taxpayers in the region of 49 million dollars each!!! Fuck the
Olympics. Fuck the commercialism of ALL sports and fuck the need to base
yr national identity and sense of self on something so absolutely fugn
meaningless /endrant

Wilco - Art of Almost/Laminated Cat (Late Night With Fallon 25/7/12)
They truly are a band at the height of their powers at the moment. And Glenn Kotche and Nels Cline are just fugn MONSTERS!!!
Ai Weiwei: China excluded its people from the Olympics. London is different
In China, the Olympics have always served as a tool for propaganda. China uses its gold-medal count to affirm its position in the world order and its strength as a nation. Many other countries have the same attitude. But flaunting gold medals, in the guise of fighting for a country's glory, is done at the expense of many lives. For one, athletes sacrifice their physical and emotional wellbeing for this vanity. This is a tragedy in itself.
I don't believe in the so-called Olympic spirit. I speak from personal experience. When China hosted the Games, it failed to include the people. The event was constructed without regard for their joy. The state and the Olympic committee failed to take a position on many major social and political issues. Afterwards, the state tightened its controls; China became a police state. "Friendship, fair play, glory, honour and peace": the Olympic slogan is an empty one.
My memory of the Beijing Olympics has not changed. It is a fake smile, an elaborate costume party with the sole intention of glorifying the country. From the opening to the closing ceremony, from the torch relay to the cheers for gold medals – these all displayed the might, and the desperation, of a totalitarian regime. Through authoritarian power a country can possess many things, but it cannot bring joy or happiness to its people.
I see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design, and our proposal won the competition. From beginning to end, I stayed with the project. I am committed to fostering relationships between a city and its architecture. I am also keen on encouraging participation and exchange during mass events that are meaningful for humankind.
I have no regrets about the role I played; the stadium is a work of great quality and design. I only withdrew from participating in fake performances laden with propaganda. I disagreed with the approach, and did not want my name associated with it. The Beijing opening ceremony had no sensitivity for the Chinese people; it even had the police force dancing on the fields. This is the fantasy of a totalitarian society. It was a nightmare.
By publicly announcing that I would not participate in the opening ceremony, I became a minority, an alternative voice. To the media, I have become a symbolic figure, critical of China. According to the government, I am a dangerous threat. I only expressed my personal opinion of an occasion that many people are passionate about. Unfortunately, such an occasion has no room for differing stances. Mine posed a challenge to the Games themselves. What did I say? Only that I didn't like the government propaganda. I don't feel obliged to approve of it.
I don't watch TV. I did not watch the Olympics last time; I am not very interested in watching it this time, either. I have no interest in activities that are dissociated from the emotions and struggles of everyday people. I enjoy watching any kind of competition – but it must be carried out in fairness, adhering strictly to the established rules. Any competition that cannot demonstrate fairness and abide by a set of openly acknowledged regulations violates civil society. It is also in conflict with the principles of human, social and legal rights.
I have visited London two or three times. I have good impressions of the city. It has a strong and natural continuity with its traditions. At the same time, people enjoy their lives and the city is full of culture. It was a pleasant experience to work with the Serpentine gallery, as well as Herzog and de Meuron, on this summer's pavilion. From the response, I can see that Londoners are very savvy about art and architecture. Tate Modern is also a unique cultural institution, a standard-bearer for quality contemporary art and activities.
I am interested in seeing what the 2012 Olympics has done to London, but I am not free to travel. If I were free, I'd like to see how people will respond to the event, and how members of a different society, living in different social conditions, will participate in the Games. I don't know how London will cope, but I believe it will be more relaxed than Beijing. In London, the people will be able to participate in and celebrate the joy of the Games.

Hope Kim Jong-un liked South Korean
