College Dropout calls out Chairman Bob

Brilliant. Genuine laugh out loud moment on a Friday morning.

Kanye West has a wee alcohol induced outburst at the MTV video awards last Sunday and five days later it's this year's YouTube downfall video.

And you know it has hit critical mass when Chairman Bob Avakian is on the photoshopped end of Kanye's diss. Now, I'm off over to YouTube to find that old clip of Kanye with Mike Myers where he says live on air, "Bob Avakian doesn't care about working class people."

Hat tip to someone over at F/B. More on Chairman Bob here and here.

Oh, and the old photographic evidence that Kanye dismissal of Bob is nothing more than the ultra-left sectarian sniping of a petit-bourgeois anarchist.

Mixing Pop and Politics - outakes

What goes around gets reposted . . . eventually

Anarcho-punk blog/fanzine, 'Kill Your Pet Puppy', has been kind enough to post a link to Ian Walker's old New Society article on 'Anarchy in the UK' that I previously posted on the blog.

I'd love to repost some more Ian Walker articles on the blog but unfortunately my copy of 'The Other Side of Britain' is still on the other side of the Atlantic.

On the subject of mixing anarchism and politics (Crass is heavily featured in the Walker piece), interesting to see Kanye West's endorsement of anarchism on last night's Grammys.

It's been that long since the last Chumbawamba album that it's nice to see someone else picking up the black flag.
