Alarmclock Newsletter Mars 2003
February the 15th 2003 saw the largest demonstrations globally in the history of mankind. Millions of people on all continents cried out demanding no war on Iraq. Nevertheless the war is a fact, and it's easy to feel helpless seeing that what we did didn't stop the war. So did we loose?

We think not.

We lost if we thought that _this_ war is wrong, or if we wanted to give the inspectors "more time". We lost if we we're trying to appeal to George Walker Bush to seek "other ways" to resolve the "conflict", we lost if what we where fighting for was just peace.

But we're not. We're fighting for justice and peace. Therefor we have to look at the broader picture.

War is not a new thing, in fact it's standard procedure. Either we call it colonialism, civilizing the barbars, christening of hedens, imperialism, war on terrorism or enforcing democracy - it's just the same old tune; the white west robes the world. Business as usual.

The Europeans has fucked the Arabic world since the early dark ages and up till now. The colonialization of Africa, the theft and rape of a whole continent, still is the main reason for wars, poverty and famine for the vast majority of African population. Latin America, USA's "backyard", suffers under despotic rulers, law by rule of gun and incredible poverty after CIA dictated coups and Washington's official and unofficial wars. Do we need to mention the Vietnam war? Or Korea? Or Laos? Or the western business financed coup and slaughter of over a million people in Indonesia?

What's new is that people don't belive the hype.

That's not a small thing. If we are to get anywhere out of this madness, the first thing that has to happened is that people need to understand what is happening, and that we need to make things happened in another way. Knowledge of self and our world - seeing through their illusions of being modern and democratic - is the first small step for mankind towards a modern democratic world.

As most sensible people, Alarmclock Connection took to the streets with what turned out to be maybe the largest mass demonstrations ever, against the forthcoming war on Iraq, February 15th. The same day Norwegian revolutionary rap group Gatas Parlament's album "Holdning over Underholdning" won the Alarm Award (which has no Connection with Alarmclock) for best hip hop album. The album is produced by Jester, who joined GP and DonMartin while receiving the price. GP used the opportunity to thank everybody who demonstrated against the war for oil and profit, while also urging people to see the bigger picture behind what drives the wheels of the war machinery.

Live show video from 2xH
The almost annual hip hop festival 2xH in Trondheim went down at Rosendal the 14th and 15th of February. DonMartin & Jester played with Dj Tomas Terror at the opening and later Definite with Alphabetical and Shepherd. Furthermore DonMartin appeared with Definite and Dj Nasty Kutt at Tommy Tee's live National Rapshow broadcast. Jester appeared later in the broadcast with DonMartin and Wolverine as backup and Tomas Terror on the decks. It was a busy day for us. Check out nrk.no video from the shows at http://www2.nrk.no/magasin/upunkt/lydiospiller/pop.asp?mid=355766&aid=2543719

The war and what it's about
The US Empire and it's henchmen are preparing more war on the world. This is neither because they fight for freedom nor because Bush is stupid. It's due to economical necessities within their economy - the ruling economy of the world. Alarmclock click recommends British writer George Monbiot's article "Too Much of a Good Thing" for better a understanding of what drives the wheels of the war machinery. Peep it at http://www.monbiot.com/dsp_article.cfm?article_id=562

Music & Politix Newsletter, January 2003
From the chilling hillside of eastern Norway:

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 showing "disgraceful political behaviour". ZTV, who broadcast from USA's only real allie 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 attitude 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. 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.

Music & Politix Newsletter, December 2002
As revealed on National Rapshow Friday 13th of December; DonMartin is dropping his second solo release on the 29th of December this year. The mini-ep entitled Radio Alarmclock is said to be short, concise and without compromise.

"From beginning to end, this is a 11 minutes and 37 seconds long ring of the alarm. An emergency broadcast for a world in rapid decay. It was conceived, written and and made while the hawks of oil and and weapons move our planets status from worse to utter insanity. Deliver the word and Blue dot mayday blues are both tracks I just had to get out of my system, more than something I planned to write. But even thought we seemingly aim at killing ourselves, theese are not suicide notes, but letters of revolt and resistance", comments DonMartin on the cover.

The cd contains videos of Repaint the picture and Deliver the word (Kafar versions) filmed, cut and directed by Kourtrajme Productions France. http://www.kourtrajme.com/

The Goodshit C2M release will be availble first on cd and then on vinyl in January 2003. A intimate release party will be held at Kilyrego (Storgata 24, Oslo) Sunday 29th of December featuring Spooks, Viballistic, Definite & Nasty Kutt + Dj's Taus, Rasmus & Leo. We will also be screening the videos and other Kourtrajme films from ten o´clock. Entrance is 50 NKR including the cd. 20 years age limit.

The record will be available true VME Distribution in Norway or Alarmclock Mailorder (alarmclock at c2m.fix.no) from the 30th of December. We are looking for distributors elsewhere.

Building up to his forthcomming second album, Jester just opened his website jester.no for the public. His long awaited followup to Science and fiction will be entitled Beautiful Decay and is expected to drop mid-winter 2003. The first 12" of the album is Gladiators/November(remix) and will be available shortly in December, even though the title suggests it should have dropped earlier.

Definite is currently hard at work finishing his very overdue solo-debut. Almost everything about the release is highly confidential, apart from the fact that the record wil contain alot of hardcore beats & rhymes - for the most part delivered by Definite solely. Alarmclocks Newsletter is probably the safest and best way to stay updated on the development of this project. Releasedate will be announced here first.

J&DM also joined Gatas Parlament in grilling racist right-wing leader Carl I Hagen for hiphop's largest audience this year. We also gave away a signed bading ball and a signed plastic rowing boating for two persons. Some live mp3's is up at Rapstation. com. Check the photo's both here, here and here. NRK was on the case.

US Planning to Recruit One in 24 Americans as Citizen Spies
The Terrorism Information and Prevention System, or TIPS, means the US will have a higher percentage of citizen informants than the former East Germany through the infamous Stasi secret police. The program would use a inimum of 4 per cent of Americans to report "suspicious activity".

After completing the work with the Gatas Parlament album; rapper, producer, breaker and writer Jester is set for yet more hideouts in Rock Bottom studios recording his second album due for release a little later this year. Both his album and the now released DonMartin Al Dente Ep was delayed from the original plan because of technical problems which now have been sorted out. Check out Jester's nrk.no interview in norwegian at http://www.nrk.no/magasin/musikk/nyhende/rb_hiphop/1785673.html.

"The World Bank has become the means whereby the rich are empowered to steal the incomes of the poor. It claims to be defending the world from disasters. In truth its purpose is to promote them", George Monbiot writes. The World Bank gathers in Oslo to discuss "how to solve poverty", they claim. Alarmclock Connection will, as we where in Prague, Gøteborg and Genova, be there to demonstrate on the 24-26th. Join us.

Alarmclock Connection will be playing at the outdoors Fuck The World Bank Festival in Oslo the 23rd of June at Kontraskjæret. We are hoping not to get shot at as we where trying the same in Gøteborg.

From the hills of Norway Alarmclock Connection would like to congratulate everyone on the fact that it is now summer on our side of the hemisphere, and life will move much easier.

The annual norwegian freestyle championship went down thursday 9th of May. We are happy, but not surprised out the frame, to say that Alarmclock's Definite won for the third year in a row. According to sources within Alarmclock this will be the last time Definite will be participating. Three times in a row should state the point.

We have been recieving questions concerning why we publish both the pages and the newsletter in english in stead of norwegian, which of course is the native tongue of our country. Not a stupid question. The answer could be that over half of our subsribers and visitors each month reside in non-norwegian speaking countries. In addition to the nice people downloading mp3's all the way from Finland to Australia, we have also recived severeal visits from US Military and US Goverment computers.

Alarmclock members Jester & Definite both feature on Apollo's debut album "Mine damer og herrer", just released monday from Universal Music. Definite is also behind some of the production on the album. http://www.bleikansiktet.no/

Returning from the highlands of Guatemala, DonMartin went into instant hidding from the cold, and is currently located in bed wearing two jackets, pants, a balaclava and an owen. The long awaited cd-version of The Al Dente Ep is finally available. To support other people who like DonMartin refuse to leave the house we offer cheap mailorder on both the vinyl and cd, by replying to this mail. If you understand norwegian you can easily win a copy from the very nice competition at stress.no, who mysteriusly have obtained nice pictures from the jungle. http://www.stress.no/konk_donmartin.html http://www.alarmclock-connection.net/donmartin/

Definite has almost re-launched his old webpage. The site is still found at http://bounce.to/definite. In a comment, Definite promises more frequent updates and alot of pretty damn useless information. Apart from working on his webpage, very vague rumours suggest that Definite too is in hiding, somewhere in a cave outside of Oslo, working on his long-awaited solo-debut. - I make no promises. It's coming out when it's coming out, says Definite. - Expect the unexpected. http://www.alarmclock-connection.net/definite/

Rumours also claim Jester & DonMartin will be appearing in Croatia and Finland this month, but at the moment noone really knows where Jester is. Check our concert updates daily the keep yourself informed. http://www.alarmclock-connection.net/showlist.html

The show will be broadcasted live on NRK1 on March 1st. http://www.shroom-a-zoom.com/Anarad_News.htm

Atlast we believe we can spread more confirmative rumours on the Al Dente CD, which will be available in Mars, only four months after the vinyl. Finnish HipHop-Directory.com reviewed Al Dente in january 2002 as "some really thought- provoking material". DonMartin, just returning from the virgin rainforest jungle of Peten, has stated in a comment that "monkeys are not in stereo" and added "Repaint the picture" to the number of mp3's on his website. http://www.alarmclock-connection.net/donmartin/ http://www.hiphop-directory.com/reviews.php?id=16

So here we are, 2002.

Another year of increasing lunecy for mankind.

As we enter 2002, the largest financer of terrorists and terrorism in the world is leading a "war on terrorism" which we are yet to see the total consequences of, both in the middle east and for us living in the rest of the world. No one protest, for protesting against the brutes who has the most power is bad for buisniss.

As we enter 2002, the worlds most mighty nation has a half- ape, son-of-a-cia-chief, act-first-and-dont-think, recordholder of executions at the steeringweel, from a mandate won by election fraud after a campain largely paid for by the US weapons industry.

As we enter 2002, the former second superpower of the world is lead by a former KGB officer, coldly calculating for Russias piece of the pie in Kaukasus.

In Mexico, where the president is the former director of Coca Cola, Coke is subsidised by the govertment and is cheaper than water. In Italy the goverment is run by the owner of the largest media corperation who naturally had the largest media campaign.

The list just won't stop, even for the break of dawn. Welcome to another year of famine in the south and food dumping in the north, of war fought for profit, of landmines, shooting demonstrators and smokescreen culture.

Welcome to another year of the modern dark ages. Shine a light if you can.

Alarmclock Connection is very happy to announce that the DonMartin Al Dente Ep is now out and can be purchased in a number of very nice recordstores. Contact us if you live in an area lacking such facilities.

The Al Dente Ep - Neither too soft or too hard, nor too long or too short. It's not just fact or just fiction, not too good or too bad, this ep has been cooked properly - not too little and not too much, but al dente.

The Ep contains 6 trax + some stuff and a nice surprise, features Viballistic, Definite, Jester, Dj Lada & Tomas Terror and is almost without exception produced by DonMartin himself. You can still peep one of the trax featuring Alarmclock's Viballistic at http://www.alarmclock-connection.net/donmartin/donmartinftviballistic-thoughtforfood.mp3

Check for Vegar and DonMartin's very nice radioprogram Goodshit in realaudio at http://www.alarmclock-connection.net/donmartin/

As mentioned, Alarmclock Connection was of course at the protest in Gothenburg this summer, where police battered and shot into the crowd. In the aftermath, Swedish authorities forge videofilms and make up stories to cover their own asses and convict scapegoats. Check the non-edited film clips from Swedish television, followed by the edited films presented in Swedish courts at http://www.svt.se/granskning/reportage.asp?S=744&A=744 (in Swedish only) or visit the Frigi Gigi site at http://home.no.net/freegigi/

Still: Following simple logic from Bush' statements, we are expecting the US to start bombing the goverment who sponsores and trains some of the worst terrorist of modern time; itself.

It was then scheduled to be released early this month, but since the vinylpress now (naturally) has broken down we don't know when it will be out. Peep more info and the feature with Viballistic on mp3 at http://www.alarmclock-connection.net/donmartin/

Copies of the Dj Spiro "Fuck rap - this is real hiphop" mixtape is again available through Bjørnar Recordshop in Møllergata 32.

We are also awaiting the release of the City Connection Norwegian rap compilation where Definite features with the track "Verbalt".

And in the news...

Alarmclock Click was of course present at the Gothenburg demonstrations against Fort Europe this summer, to protest and play at the Reclaim The City festival at Vasaplatsen. The last was not to happend, as riotpolice attacked and battered the people partying, which eventually led to the shooting of a demonstrator.

Swedish police, who refuse to tell WHO fired the shots, claim they acted in selfdefense when shooting a single demonstrator throwing stones at policeofficers wearing shields and helmets. National Swedish television has documentet that atleast one shot was fired randomly into the crowd at heads hight. Even so, Swedish authorities has concluded that the police handled the situation right and dropped investigation against themselves while sentencing the victim of the police shooting to jail for "rioting".

Meanwhile,

"If any government sponsors the outlaws and killers of innocents, they have become outlaws and murderers themselves. And they will take that lonely path at their own peril." George Bush announced while bombing Afghanistan. Following this logic, we expect the Bush administration to start bombing themselves any minute. We cannot say that we will cry if they decide to do so.

If you think we are joking, you can checkout the George Monbiot article about the "School of The Americas" at Fort Benning U.S., where a large number of the contras-terrorist of Latin America took their education in killing, torture, extortion and so on... http://www.monbiot.com/dsp_article.cfm?article_id=465

On another note, Definite just got back from the Swedish woods. There, Whimsical and himself, has been blessing Apollo's upcoming solo-debut "Nattens Kåbbåj" with respectively rhymes and beats&rhymes. A spokesperson for Universal Music says he thinks their verses was the worst vomit he ever heard captured by a microphone. Another source in the recordlabel supposedly found Definite's production somwewhat over-catchy, and describes the two features from Femte Kolonne/Column 5 as an overeager attempt to go pop. http://www.alarmclock-connection.net/definite/

The lyrical surfer Viballistic has reasently kidnapped Tha Pestokid (Definite) into studio to finish the new Essentials EP and Definites own solo-project. Sources in Essentials says we are dealing with some fly shit. Viballistic denies any rumours of insects occupying his studio.

We would also like to add that in case you didn't know the current reign of power in the world today and in most recorded history is wack. We incourage the majority of the "leaders" of the world to throw themselves out the window, and we aim this especially at the murderers in charge of the United Snakes of America. We advise any sensible person to try as hard as possible to think with the brain and not just follow the flow, because the flow is fucking shit up and we all know it.
