Max Tannone: new Talib Kweli remixes
Posted by jamie on Nov 24, 2010
Remix machine Max Tannone has added Talib Kweli vocals to some dub tracks.
“It features hip-hop artist Talib Kweli rapping against a backdrop of dubbed out reggae beats. I had the opportunity to meet Talib after Dub Kweli came out, and he told me he really liked it. That was very gratifying to hear, as positive words from the original artist are the ultimate compliment you can receive.”
Check it out here. Again, it’s available for download.

Tuition Fees protest: latest from Last Hours
Posted by chips on Nov 10, 2010
The guys at Last Hours have been busy by the river all day. Keep up to speed on their twitter profile.
Here’s their word from this morning.
The unions involved in this protest have called for the Government to ‘Fund Our Future’. As anarchists we demand not only an end to the most recent assaults on everyone outside the elite class, especially poor and working class people, but also that we recognise that another world is possible. One in which Governments, Banks and Corporate leaders no longer determine our future. Communique from an Absent Future addresses this issue from the perspective of someone within the educational system.
They were also giving out free copies of Communique from an Absent Future all day. If you mised out, you can get it here.
