This song is originally by Wounded Knee, an Edinburgh Folky Acapella re-looping man. He made the song "anti fascist reel", put it up on bandcamp the other day, and I thought I'd have a play with it. It's my first attempt at anything like this... Be kind... The pain-inducing distortion is intentional. Please imagine it being spoken by a beardy man with a megaphone, or a Righteous Sweary Tank Equipped with Sonic Weaponry. If you have money, buy some of Drew (Mr Wounded Knee)'s stuff, he's awesome.

Liz has headed back to the Library now, but I'm doing some editing and blogging, and generally apologising for the fact that I went a bit manic near the end. This week: Cadbury's / Money for Sick Kids / Euthanasia / Comedy Competitions / Chimps / How Holiday Camps are like Prison / The Sally Army and KINDLES!!!!! (and a promise to try our damnedest to keep things regular) I thought this one was pretty funny by the way. And listen out for the exciting edit, 32 mins in when I get back from the loo. It's seamless.

The things we discuss are somewhat dated now, but include discussion on whether or not the Queen is vermin, new prostitution legislation, the record of the decade and much more. Listen out for Gordon nearly choking on a cracker at the beginning and me singing at the end. Rock and roll.

There are a few sound problems, and some slight tiredness, but it was fantastic to talk about things that are happening in Edinburgh and chat about gender. It's basically like loose women, but you know, good.. we even have a token man. politics,satire,comedy,edinburgh,indiepop,left,green,socialist,revolution,feminism,rock,swearing Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:21:00 +0000 The Blether Report - Episode 1 - 2009.10.28
