The pirate radio era may be over as such, but the spirit of such endeavors remain & young people will always seek an important alternative to the mainstream. *Yes that is a mobile phone that weighed more than my MacBook does now www.echolive.ie/entertainmen...

Stevie G: Spirit of pirate radio still strong

As long as we have a mainstream, we will need an underground, and the spirit that powered the pirates will continue in other ways, writes Stevie G.

Had to drive to and from to Longford the other day (longford story) but the journey was made better by revisiting Sly & the Family Stone’s whole album discography in chronological order. The post “Riot” albums are so underrated the whole catalogue is so full of absolute gems 💫

My @thisisthenewschool series in @corkcitylibraries has come to end for the summer but I’d like to thank Margaret, Ben & the team for hosting us every month. We are back on September 27th. As always, music is a two way street and I am learning from the youngsters too.

Kneecap is not the story Gaza is the story Genocide is the story #StopArmingIsreal www.rollingstone.com/music/music-ne… from :bluesky:

Massive
Attack//
KNEECAP ARE NOT THE STORY
If senior politicians can find neither the time, nor the words to condemn, say, the murder of fifteen voluntary aid workers in Gaza, or the illegal starvation of a civilian population as a method of warfare, or the killing of thousands & thousands of children in the same territory, by a state in possession of the highest precision weapons on earth; how much notice should a music festival
take of their moral advice on booking performing acts?
As a band that has spoken publicly for more than 30 years about the illegal occupation, apartheid system and killing with impunity of thousands of Palestinians, we are hyper aware of the both the human cost of abject political silence, and the commercial implications of publicly expressing solidarity with an oppressed people.

Language matters of course.
The hideous murders of elected politicians
Jo Cox and David Amess means there's no scope for flippancy or recklessness.
But do politicians and right-wing journalists strategically concocting moral outrage over the stage utterings of a young punk band, while simultaneously obfuscating or even ignoring a genocide happening in real time (including the killing of journalists in unprecedented numbers) have any right to intimidate festival events into acts of political censorship?
Kneecap are not the story.
Gaza is the story.
Genocide is the story.
And the silence, acquiescence and support of those crimes against humanity by the elected British government is the real story.
Solidarity with all artists with the moral courage to speak out against Israeli war crimes, and the ongoing persecution and slaughter of the Palestinian people.
Massive Attack.

📣 KNEECAP STATEMENT:

They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide.

Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria.

Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history.

We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.

This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation.

All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel.

At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head.

Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine.

This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards.

To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.

Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs.

No smear campaign will change that.

Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain.

The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power.

Shame on them.

A Palestinian man stands by graffiti in Gaza that thanks Kneecap for "being the voice of the oppressed".
