Norwegian rapper DonMartin's second solo-ep Radio Alarmclock dropped
officially on the 24th of January. The 4 track ep is said to be "100%
insurgent music, protesting against the plundering of our world, the
inhumane shit the humans inflict on each other and the current state of the
world: mayday mayday".
The cd-ep also contains two DonMartin music videos made by Romain Gavras of
Kourtrajme Productions, for the older DonMartin track Repaint the Picture
and for the newly released Deliver the word. Both tracks feature Jester. The
Deliver the word video was rejected by Scandinavian music channel ZTV for
having "disgraceful political behaviour". ZTV, who broadcast from the US's
only real allies in the forthcoming imperialistic war for oil and world
dominance, chickened out. Our protest of the coming war - which everyone
knows is corrupt bullshit - was "disgraceful".
- The large majority in Europe knows this war isn't about protecting the
world from Saddam Hussein, but about control over the resources in the Gulf.
That's why US henchmen Britain is shit-scared of showing any kind of
resistance, especially the kind that can reach beyond the regular "political
people", as music and culture can. The first thing I thought was that it
really was an honour to be censored as "disgraceful political" by rules of
the brutal colonial empire Great Britain, claims DonMartin.
- The control of culture and attitudes are some of the most important means
of keeping the western population indifferent to how most people suffer,
without any justice, security or freedom, not because we can't organize
things better but because the rulers deliberately keep it this way. Pumping
us all with Ally McBeal and A-teens and no-content superficial-shit makes
superficial people who embrace no-content and frown at people who raise any
kind of issue at all. They want us watching the screen, not thinking about
what's going on. That's why we are dangerous when we burn American flags and
do outrages shit to arouse peoples attention. We attack the nerve with a
medicine that might actually have an effect. It is, for the gents in
control, "disgraceful" to demand of people to question the truth and think
for themselves, states DonMartin.
After being confronted by Norwegian journalists, the pressure of bad
publicity in Scandinavia made ZTV England back down and announce that they
would air the video - after nine o'clock. - It's obvious that the problem
still is the political content, they just
escaped critic that would harm their credibility.
