I'm a lifetime Monkees fan, I admit it. I have thought about how to approach a Chill Room special on the Pre-Fab Four for over a decade, and not done so because they are a nostalgia act and their music has always been given short shift due to their origins. But now with the passing of David Jones on 29 February, it's time to do it.

#581 - Unmasking the Genocide of Business As Usual
March 5, 2012, 12:44 a.m.
The show this week unmasks the moral pretensions of globalized imperialism run amok. Professor Anthony J. Hall speaks on the coming home to roost of USA's history of imperialism and globalization through force of arms. In our second hour, we begin reading A Brief Treatise on the Moral Grounds of Economic Relations, the next chapter of David Graeber's Debt, The First 5000 Years, on how the mentality and language of 'exchange' is used both to cloak such predatory hierarchical relations and to obscure our innate drive towards communistic relationships of mutual aid.

BSTF 903 - Let's Get a HATE-ON!
March 4, 2012, 8:56 a.m.
Throw up some tinsel and bunting, and lock 'n' load for the HATE WEEK show! This show has something for everyone to dislike--hell, some of you won't like ANY of it, but I don't frickin' CARE, I'm HATEFUL! And I hate the fact that I left behind the notes as to what I played on this show--all I can say is there are lashings of The Residents, The Queers, Pink Lincolns, and Tonio K., among others. I'll clue you all in and add the links later.
IF you're lucky.
Rim me, you fucks.
So put on your Nazi helmet and get ready to goosestep to the hits as Hate Week shifts into gear! We've got Katie Lee wailing "The Repressed Hostility Blues," The Residents, a fake ad from the soundtrack of '60s weirdfilm YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, The Queers, William S. Burroughs, Pink Lincolns, Tom Lehrer with "National Brotherhood Week," Tonio K's "H-A- T-R-E-D," Barnes & Barnes, Carmaig de Forest's excellent ukelele ballad "Hey, Judas!"--and a retrofitted duet between The Last Poets' "This Is MADNESS!" mixed with Madness's "Give Me a Reason."

During the heyday of the U.S. & international labor movements in the 1930s & 1940s. Ferdinand Smith, the Jamaican-born co-founder and second-in-
command of the National Maritime Union, stands out as one of the most "if not the most" powerful black labor leaders in the United States. Smith's active membership in the Communist Party, however, coupled with his bold labor radicalism & shaky immigration status, brought him under continual surveillance by U.S. authorities, especially during the red Scare in the '50s. Smith was eventually deported to his homeland of Jamaica, where he continued his radical labor & political organizing until his death in 1961. Horne draws on Smith's life to make insightful connections between labor radicalism & the Civil Rights Movement "demonstrating that the gains of the latter were propelled by the former & undermined by anticommunism". More-over, Red Seas uncovers the little-known experiences of black sailors & the contribution to the struggle for labor and civil rights, the history of the Communist Party & its black members, & the significant dimension of Jamaican labor & political radicalism.
