  i’m guessing that the radio show isn’t the only thing that’s gotten shorter in the new year, eh boys?
  aboot time you play another warsawpack song, ive been listening to alot of that lately with clann zu plannning out a community revolution/funeral at the same time.

  and there’s one label - ha
  and it’s so blatant we don’t got to name ‘em
  but the rogue label - yea
  watch ‘em throw their weight round the blog so flagrant- and there’s one label

• Comment by caítlin on February 5th, 2007 at 5:27 pm:

  You boys just narrowly escaped an international intervention (by which I mean knocking on your door and runnning away when I’m on your continent) on behalf of G7 radio. Sources indicate it was to be the biggest in some time. Good work! Every episode gets one wee leprechaun their wings.

  But really, was that actually meant to be an English accent? Kudos for using the word bollocks though, a brave step for any North American.

• Comment by marius on February 5th, 2007 at 5:33 pm:

  Hooray! Politics is sexy again!

  Also, why is the shipping for those shirts/hoodies so insanely expensive? $18 US to ship to Australia?!?

• Comment by tom on February 5th, 2007 at 5:56 pm:

  marius- because they’re addicted to crystal meth. it says right in the memo!

• Comment by D-Rock on February 5th, 2007 at 9:53 pm:

  marius: That’s actually an error on the hoodies - it’s actally only $12 to ship international surface for a hoodie. But eBay won’t let me change it now. Oops!

  More meth I guess!

  I’d also like to take this opportunity to point out that jokes about drug addiction aren’t funny. It’s a very serious problems that plagues the lives of many. Like Chris, for example.

  caítlin: Frank is not English - he is 1/3 English, 1/3 Australian, and 1/3 Canadian. Hence the odd accent.

• Comment by gerty on February 6th, 2007 at 2:45 pm:

  I’m sorry this deserves actual words. If there was any doubt g7 were the finest most respectable intelligent and entertaining label out there, this just confuses those doubts further. jk. Indeed they’ve secured their place at the top. You can only go down from here boys. jk thnx for existing.

  That would be warsawpack.

• Comment by dumdiddee on February 6th, 2007 at 9:40 pm:

  Well, i’ve decided not to bother making any plans for my life after the next 10 years.

  I think our only chance of survival is to immediately and completely abandon our use of fossil fuel. We’re so doomed.

  Anybody think now that Gore would have been the preferrable winner to the 2000 election? I remember some people quite vociferous in their argument that it didn’t matter who won out of Bush and Gore.

  Anyways, glad you guys are back.

  However I’m not sure about those shirts on e-bay. They look a lot like old cum-rags. And i can’t believe the bidding on one of them has reached $65!!!

• Comment by drewtwo on February 6th, 2007 at 10:08 pm:

  Take the time to actually comment on the G7 blog? Only if they bring back the radio show!
  Good one as always, boys.

  In hindsight, I’m sure Gore would have been at least marginally better than Bush. But, I was like four back then anyways so I couldn’t vote even if I had wanted to (not).

• Comment by seth on February 6th, 2007 at 10:16 pm:

  Okay, I got the 2 kilos waiting to ship out. You’re gonna speak to a man named Julio when you get to the docks…Use the codenames I gave you and make sure you’re not followed.

  …..Oh and uh, good to have the G7 radio back.

• Comment by Hairhole on February 7th, 2007 at 12:51 am:

  You morons! hahaha. As soon as I put this on my ipod, I went to the toilet where i could giggle and defecate unabated.

  The sound effects and dialogue were perfect: “I almost froze my dick off walking home the other day from work…so there’s that whole thing.” hahaha. This is a new low, and by that, I mean a new high. Please, make more of these, and make them longer.

  On a serious note though: high ebay bidders, fuck off. Jesus no longer loves you. I’ll see one of you wearing one of those glorious shirts at a show one day (Calgary, Edmonton anyone?), and it will be a classic example of ‘the have-nots collecting their fair share.’ Your shirts will be mine cocksmellers!

  Yeah. Okay. ‘Hairhole’, stick your ipod up your dick. Idiot.

  Well played…well played, indeed.

• Comment by soyuz on February 7th, 2007 at 8:48 am:

  glad that the radio is back! seriously unemployed right now, so can’t buy me new G7 shit. less plastic pollution anyways. but i have been scamming eMusic lately by opening up multiple trial accounts and canceling them before i have to pay up. and i’ve got to say, Mico’s new album “Our Living Language” is the dope..or is that, emotionally titillating.

  talking about global warming, winter in beijing smells like coal, literally. every morning you can smell the burning coal and there are literally tens and hundreds of coal smokestacks all over the city, fuming out smoke. so it’s not gonna matter much even tho’ ya libberaal folks out in boulder, colorado go green energy unless china does something to clean up this mess. so you ask what am i doing aboot it? well, first i’m learning chinese, so i can communicate. (burp)

• Comment by dumdiddee on February 7th, 2007 at 2:57 pm:

  i know peeps that have gone to china and they say the smog is so bad that everyone’s constantly hacking lung-butter and hawking loogies.

  After watching “Inconvenient Truth”, i can’t help but think he’s sincere and passionate in his concern for the environment and i think if he was prez he would’ve mobilized us towards renewable/alternative energy, perhaps even goaded us towards the fast track. Bush is too stupid to comprehend stuff like co2’s affect on environment, and probably has a conscience no bigger than Baby Doc Duvailler… and Cheney, I’m sure he understands it perfectly, but he has about as much scruples as Stalin.

  Though i’m sure it’s already too late, at this stage in the game i think we should place the environment as the #1 priority for activism. What good is progress on any other front if the planet becomes inhospitable to life?

• Comment by tom on February 7th, 2007 at 3:15 pm:

  i’d like to say that supporting the democrats instead of the republicans would be akin to being a serial planet rapist and finally deciding to continue to rape the planet, but with a condom on. does that make sense? sure there’s a few good apples…but generally, they’re douche-bags.

  meanwhile, i just got my 6th marriage proposal rejection from one derek hogue. i’m crying now. i’m going to kill myself soon…:(

  and also, anti-flag once said that propagandhi are untouchable. what an asshole thing to say. i think propagandhi are completely touchable. well, at least the rod is. and beave!

• Comment by D-Rock on February 7th, 2007 at 3:24 pm:

  Just to chime in here - Al Gore is fucking politician. Look at his record as VP - diddly squat to actually benefit the environment - and in fact he supported nonsense legislation funneling money to pie-in-the-sky hydrogen research rather than more feasible solutions. Not to mention being in support of war consistently.

  An Inconvenient Truth - although a powerful movie, and no doubt a factor in recent popular opinion about climate change -is Gore’s (successful) attempt to secure his post-political career legacy, like every scumbag politician does. And there it is - he’s been nominated for a fucking Nobel Prize!

  And I’ll point out that the ending of that movie was bullshit. “What can you do? Buy a more eco-friendly car! Recyle!” Lame, lame, lame. Not even a mention of using mass transit, or walking or … ahem … food choices.

  Anyhoo.

• Comment by seth on February 7th, 2007 at 8:31 pm:

  Okay, maybe I’m incorrect/dumb, but I think at about 1:45 into the episode, if you turn the volume up pretty good, you will hear in the background what sounds like someone hitting a bong…………oh and uh, can anyone tell me where I can (illegaly) download the Al Gore movie. I’ve yet to see it, and really do not want to pay money to do so. Is it even good? Is it actually kinda informative, or is it just telling us a bunch of crap we already know? Is there a different movie/book anyone would recommend?Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?

• Comment by seth on February 7th, 2007 at 8:33 pm:

  Were you guys doing your meth out of a bong? I don’t know if you’re supposed to do it that way. It’ll give the bongwater a chalky taste.

• Comment by Kyle on February 7th, 2007 at 9:36 pm:

  I was at a reduce tuition fees protest today, and the crowd managed to get the university’s (Cape Breton University) president (John Harker) out to talk.

  He told us there wasn’t much he could do and tried to change the discussion to the cost of professors and (that’s a big and, by the way) government spending on the environment. Someone pissed him off when they asked him about his marble wall, though. Fucking A.

  …So, yeah. Can’t you people see that we need to destroy the environment to make education cheaper? I mean, it couldn’t possibly have anything to do with imperialism/neoliberalism or military spending.

  I’m going to go set something on fire right now to speed the process up… And buy some Blackwater sunglasses to protect my lungs and teach me how to swim.

• Comment by Tony UK on February 8th, 2007 at 11:45 am:

  My name is Tony Long. My uncle is called Terry Long, and hes a racist, how about that? Really. Crazy times. And that Fuck Right Off shirt…? We’ll see whos sportin it when the dust settles. And if someone tries to snipe me at the last minute, I’ll be on the first plane to which ever fuckneck town you live in with a blowtorch and the latest Green Day record ALRIGHT????!?!?!?!?! I just like the shirt ok, lets just drop it. And on a less serious note - g7 radio is back yeeeeeeeeahhhhhhhhhhhh boiiiieeeee. And does anyone else think that Todd the rod looks like Guy Pierce? I tried to explain to the boys who he was but theyre all shit. So, here he is:

  Ladies and gentleman, Tod the rod. I mean, guy pierce:

• Comment by Belinda on February 8th, 2007 at 1:35 pm:

  I agree with Derek’s comment on Al Gore. He’s still a goof, but the film does make some good points, and since it’s coming from a rich guy in a suit, maybe the people who are causing the most damage to the environment will pay SOME attention to the message. A baby step in the right direction says I.

• Comment by gerty on February 9th, 2007 at 1:32 am:

  Why not universal education? Tell me with a straight face “society”(or even the planet) wouldnt benefit from that. I was out in the cold for the day of action so long my nasa huggies were so full they had their own orbit.

• Comment by gerty on February 9th, 2007 at 2:26 pm:

  So believe it or not I had lunch with the president of the university of Manitoba today.
  She said she’s doesnt want to seem like a mean person and her cool wooden face was carved with concern, maybe not much of a point here but like the aforementioned politicians its not about what you’re actually doing and getting done its the APPEARANCE that you’re doing someting and getting things done. She spent the whole lunch defending herself… anyway…

• Comment by gerty on February 9th, 2007 at 2:43 pm:

  Clearly I dont care about a personal legacy with this feeble post but here’s nader on Jon Stewart I just like the concession from John Stewart that it is in fact (contrary to shat-Mike’s opinion) an irrational argument to blame nader for bush.

• Comment by Ray on February 10th, 2007 at 8:36 am:

  Hey Tony UK, nice representing there. I’d bet my last rolo that Todd’s nipples look nothing like that.

  I can’t believe that someone at my work said that Al Gore was a legend. Please kill me.
  You know I read somewhere that on a dust-to-dust cycle a hybrid car uses more energy than a Land Rover because of the complexity in producing and recycling the new materials. The definite solution is cut travel - let everyone work from home. :D

• Comment by Marc on February 10th, 2007 at 10:56 am:

  2 random questions (I don’t know where else to ask them)

  1) I’m making dinner for some vegan friends tonight, I’m not vegan and have never cooked vegan food before. Is there a site you guys recommend(or a recipe)? It’s for tomorrow :/

  2) Anyone here lift weights on a vegan diet? I’ve noticed that Chris from Propagandhi is pretty muscular..what exactly do you eat for protein? I think the typical rule of thumb is 1g per bodyweight..I feel as though you’d need to eat quite alot to reach that.

  Thanks!

• Comment by Marc on February 10th, 2007 at 11:03 am:

  Oh, btw. I recommend that movie “Nader: An Unreasonable Man”.

  I saw it last night in Boston (thanks to this blog for linking to the Comedy Central site..i found out about it about an hour before it was playing)

  Really good documentary.

• Comment by jennifer on February 10th, 2007 at 1:54 pm:

  You’ve never cooked vegan before? I’m sure you’ve cooked something vegan - pasta surely is vegan, and etc. But if you want to fork over some time into making something that’s specialty vegan, you might want to use things such as tofu and tempeh to make imitation meats or just plain fucking good food. You can make a thing called “seitan” from scratch that tastes convincingly like meat without the horrible texture and throat clogging phelgm-y feel. I’m pretty sure you can find a ton of vegan communities on the internet if you looked hard enough, if you want to get answers or recommendations personally you can probably join a vegan livejournal community if there aren’t any good message boards. I’m pretty sure just going to your local health food store would be of use, too… I’m sure they’ll be able to help you out.

  Soy and peanuts contain enough protein to compensate anything lost from meat.

• Comment by jennifer on February 10th, 2007 at 1:55 pm:

  Hey! This dude named Michael Parenti is coming to my town to speak. Has anyone read anything of his or heard him speak?

• Comment by Kyle on February 10th, 2007 at 3:19 pm:

  Choking Victim use clips from Michael Parenti speeches on their album “No Gods, No Managers.” He also appears on “Hoping Against Hope: The Struggle Against Colonialism in Canada,” available in the download and store sections of G7. There’s also a few of his lectures available on Google Video.

  I hadn’t heard of seitan until right now. I’m going to try to make it. Thanks for the information!

• Comment by Marc on February 10th, 2007 at 3:50 pm:

  Ah, I suppose i’ve cooked pasta and a salad. I don’t have much experience with cooking - i’m in college and i do have a kitchen..but i mostly get things that don’t require much cooking. That may explain why i’m a bit nervous for tomorrow. As you might have guessed I don’t have much time, haha.

  The only local health food store around here is Trader Joes (that’s i’m aware of). I’m gunna go to the supermarket tonight, so i’ll look up some recipes on the internet that have “seitan” in it.

  I’m sure i’ll figure something out. Thanks Jennifer.

• Comment by Hairhole on February 10th, 2007 at 3:54 pm:

  Marc: I’ve been known to be up in the gym just workin’ on my fitness.

  I use this ’shaklee’ instant protein soy mix. It aint gots no lactose.

  Other than that, lots of the regular oppression-free food choices high in protein will keep you going, and you won’t have to worry about your cock falling off from avian flu or mercury poison, or whatever else you get from ‘healthy’ meats.

  Also, I’d like to know if that Jeff Monson ufc anarchist guy is a vegan, he’s a fuckin’ big boy.

  As for cooking, I’m a fucking shit cook myself, so I’d probably just do a salad of some sort and some pasta with soy ground beef stuff in it. Here’s peta’s site though: http://www.vegcooking.com/

  Good luck broseff!

  Remember: Go Vegan, or Go Fuck yourself.

  World Peace.

  Marc,
  So time difference may once again bugger me up the ass but if youre stuck for some recipes, i have a bunch i can email you (saoirse_ionannas_aonad [at] yahoo [dot] co.uk) if i get back on in time. otherwise (having quickly tired of waiting for G7 to take the plunge for my new hit series) i made a (really really patehtic) attempt to start a step-by-step online cookbook majigger, which may give you an idea or two, although it is still extremely basic. tinygrrl.livejournal.com
  Good luck!

• Comment by Marc on February 10th, 2007 at 10:48 pm:

  Thanks for the offer Caitlin. :)

  I’m using the vegan spinach lasagna recipe from vegcooking.com I’m also making a vegan pizza, pasta, and salad. And some vegan desserts. :D

  I think it’ll be alright. I’m going to look at your site for future reference though..thanks for the generous help.

• Comment by caítlin on February 11th, 2007 at 5:34 am:

  You’re very welcome :) Ooooh one last thing! Pesto (which you put in pasta sauce) isn’t vegan, it has cheese in it. You can buy alternatives, or you can replace it with sundried tomato paste. Also, don’t use fresh pasta (eggs) and make sure your lasagne sheets are vegan.
  Good luck! Sounds delicious…

• Comment by Marc on February 11th, 2007 at 10:38 am:

• Comment by Sebas on February 11th, 2007 at 1:52 pm:

  GUYS!

  This can’t be serious. I just heard the first redux edition of the “weekly” G7 radio broadcast and I hace just one question: WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN’ ON!? Seriously (alas), I’ve just grown acostumed to the fact I can listen to something between no-substancial banter and meaningful information combined with the sweet sweet melodies of deluxe speedmetal/appllecore/ska/pop/newage crap at least once a week. Now I just heard seven lousy minutes of Derek and Chris blabering about who’s more influential to the underground mainstream.
  Is it lack of time? Lack of interest? Lack o black? I mean, man, there must be like a billion songs out there that you’d like to cast to the world and even more controversial -and yet practically unknown- news that the rest of us would, should and must hear.

  You have been the chosen ones to guide us to a golden age of secular retaliation against the establishment (pardon the clichés) and, in stead, you do less of the good stuff.

  WHATS UP!?

  funny.

• Comment by Anthony on February 12th, 2007 at 5:50 am:

  This episode is awesome. “I can’t believe I’m on the phone!” hahahaha. You guys should do one on how CNN is now claiming that bullet shells left on the ground from bullets headed towards American troops can be linked to Iran. They also plugged some shit website about how “Iran is bad” for stupid fucking parents to show their kids.I don’t really remember the website. After reading “War is a For That Gives Us Meaning” I think about FOX news calling the troops heroes and then when the war is over those same heroes will be forgotten and realize American “Heroism” isn’t really all It was televised to be. Maybe because the troops aren’t heroes at all. Now I can start reading “Killing Hope”. Thanks G7 for sending those books with the quickness, they got to my pad fast.

• Comment by D-Rock on February 12th, 2007 at 1:48 pm:

• Comment by Kyle on February 12th, 2007 at 3:21 pm:

  I don’t know about that, D-Rock. If it wasn’t for G7 Welcoming Committee, I probably wouldn’t be writing an incoherent thesis on Western savagery.

  Uhh… maybe that’s not guidance at all. Thanks a lot, G7 (Welcoming Committee or otherwise)!

• Comment by Hairhole on February 12th, 2007 at 5:27 pm:

  Do you guys ever wonder that if by being vegans and releasing noxious fumes into the air from our soy-holes, that WE’RE the main cause for global warming? Well I for one don’t want to give up my privilaged life of farting just so the rest of the world can breathe a little better. By the way,[UNRELATED]I am all for cloning animals for food - no one wants that to happen, so if it does, then hey, all the more reason for the world to go vegan!

  Is meth vegan?

• Comment by seth on February 12th, 2007 at 11:00 pm:

  Wait, okay, I checked the ingredients, It’s all good.

• Comment by tom on February 12th, 2007 at 11:01 pm:

  actually seth, it’s a scientific fact that mammalian flatulence accounts for apporoximately 23% of methane currently in our atmosphere. so yes, when you think of every existing farting creature on the planet, it does make a differnce.

  however, when compared to the emmissions of say, i don’t know, industry, or lazy people like me who have a car, the farting is pretty harmless. the earth does have filtering cycles to cleanse itself, but right now us humans are actually picking up huge piles of shit and stuffing it back up mother nature’s ass. that’s a metaphor, i hope.

  i love those warm ones that kind of creep up your parts, and they smell so good mmmm…..

  bring back farting to g7 radio!

• Comment by Sebas on February 13th, 2007 at 5:58 am:

  My reaction is plane and simple this time:

  Turn down the Mid’s and push up the Med’s.

  I guess i was just a lil’ dissapointed on loosing 50min a week of my little window of info to the world. I’m better now, i turned vegan and my head is spinning in the correct direction (thank doG beer has no meat).

  Keep up the good work!(?)

  The article

  “Illinois missionary became heroine in China”—that article kicks ass.
  I’m so inspired now.
  The balance between keeping loyalities is such a hard one. I die for humanity every day. But I still need to keep moving forward, and being productive in society. When I get my chance to help I take it. And I find I do so much better, and I have such a better following, and better bottom line that way.

  A cool thing happened. I saw what happens when someone with the core beleif of being good to people takes power.

  This person became bigger than life in a small corner of the world.
  Student Council President, Captain of the Football team, Big Man on Campus etc etc…you know the type….Randall Pink Floyd.
  But he also listened Propagandhi and played in a punk band. The band was featured on two national t.v. shows in Canada, this dude, the front man. He was interviewed in a panal discussion on one national t.v. show.

  He preached and taught by example. And every person, student and teacher alike looked up to him.
  He took the time to apprieciate the youngest smallest students and he took the time to not pre-judge anybody.

  And guess what? That school had the lowest violence in the city of Toronto, that school won the most championships it had ever won.

  So I guess I’m saying this. You don’t have to go to China to evoke change. You just have to lead by example in your own little corner of the world.

  And take the time to email people back who took the time to email you.

  Peace
  Ed

  PS Ontario exsists because without it, the rest of Canada would be back in the 1930’s ecconomically and if you could hear anybody(from that shitty soapbox your standing on) who lived back then. It was a really scary time, and people were very desperate.
  Read, 10 lost years
  Anyways, have you ever lived in Ontario and experienced it yourself? Or are you standing in the coldest, flatest etc etc place in Canada and throwing stones?

  Peace—I love this blog!

  So is it cool if I pass on the KoolAid this morning?
  I’m not ready to join another cult, I’m a member of a few too many to begin with. Really, I’m trying to cut back.

  So when Tom said “Skid” did he mean me?

  Wow that is ignorant on so many levels.

  First of all, don’t pre-judge you fucking asshole, end of story. If this is Tom from Propagandhi…way to go, you’ve proven your band full of shit.

  Secondly, are you refering to the term “skid”- as in…

  “skid Row”- meaning down and out, looking like a bum…well tom, sorry to correct your ignorance on your own blog, but I drive a BMW and I’m definately not near “skid Row”

  “skid mark”- meaning shit stain- well, real nice manners
  you know I try not to be violent anymore
  but calling me a shit stain over the internet will probably get you a major ass kicking, sooner than you expect. I’m coming to the peg in a couple of days.

  “skid row” - the band from Ontario featuring Sabastian bach,
  cause although I have long hair, I’m not from that band.
  I’m from a band called “the Project”

  ANyways, it’s called English Tom, and it’s a tool, a weapon and a craft

  Sometimes you sound like “me talk real tough, cause me have short penis!”

  Ed: I’m not entirely sure what’s going on here … I’m confused. The comments section of this blog isn’t really a contact form. And you should lighten up a bit maybe. Just a suggestion.

  Whoever and wherever you emailed, I’m sure someone will get back to you sometime.

  hey there ed. i don’t mean to come off as a “tough guy” but i do have a small penis thank you!

  secondly is yes, i have lived in ontario. i just trash it for laughs, though im sure im the only one who laughs probably. anyways, i pretty much see most of canada as occupied territory so “who has the better province” contests don’t sit well with me.

  tom from propagandhi? what? this is not my blog, i just constantly leave my mark on it.

  oh and if you mean that “toronto is a total shithole” by saying “canada could not exist without ontario” i completely agree, and i think we should act upon this. dissolve ontario, i says.

  but im just an idiot dude, i hope you dont take anything i say seriously.

• Comment by Sebas on February 15th, 2007 at 11:23 am:

  I won’t try to argue anything about this anti-canadian debate, mainly ’cause I have no idea what you guys are talking aboot since i’m actually from Yurp. However this conversation sounds extremely familiar: Ocuppied territory this, decapitate all the politicians that.
  But i’m curious, when you guys talk aboot “ocuppied” who are the occupiers and who are the occupitees? Is it a English/French vs. Native Canadians thing or…
  I’m simply hoovering over a black/black checker board here.

  I guess it sounds kinda like a stoopid question, being aboot the basics and all, but i’m extremely curious how fellow apat’s think like over there.

  Ain’t it the magic of internet in action? :D

• Comment by Sebas on February 15th, 2007 at 11:40 am:

  That’s my way of expressing my secret agenda at an attempt of changing the moron subject about who’s gotta short penis, and who’s a skid… anyway, if you’ve got a BMW, you’re either an idiot or a Nazi. Idiot in the sense that only a self-absorbed prick would spend an insanse amount of money on a car produced by the only german company who has not -yet- expressed apologies and financially compensated the direct or descendant jewsish families who were exploited in said factories during the rule of the Nazionale Socialistisch Partei, a.k.a: 3rd Reich.
  Mercedes~Benz, Audi, Sköda and even Hitler’s VolksWagen (charriot of the people) have done otherwise.

  Tom I’m down. I won’t take is serious if you don’t (we can grow together make this shitwhole planet better…in time)

  I tend to go over the top. But just be careful when you tell someone that you think that they’re so stupid that they shouldn’t pro-create.

  That’s a right worth fighting for.

  Yo, So here’s my take on the question of occupied Canada.

  Our forefathers worked hard to provide for their families. If they did it by signing deals with the natives for the land and then not honouring them, that’s actually up for debate. I’m pretty sure that the natives didn’t follow the organized and attempted fair way either. If you weren’t there how can you know.

  They still don’t take action that works with Western Society. Look up Caledonia Ontario Canada.
  Look up Native Studies at the University of Trent In peterborough Ontario. If you’d like to hear the other side of this argument.

  I’ve looked into this with quilt and open mindedness and I still don’t think that our forefathers who “stole the land” were doing anything different than what Propagandhi does.

  They left an opressive and limiting society to come and try and provide a better life for their families.

  Peace.

• Comment by yesmeansyes on February 15th, 2007 at 12:34 pm:

  Ed you make no sense to me at all. sorry guy. How can you relate something historically serious such as the usurpation of native americans land to what propagandhi does?

  (not to suggest that propagandhi arent historically momentus of course!…)

• Comment by Ed in Etobicoke on February 15th, 2007 at 1:41 pm:

  It makes total sense. I’m pretty sure that propagandhi would agree themselves.

  The humanity of the situation is simple. Man must strive to achieve, it’s hardwired into their brains.

  It’s just really deep and educated stuff. What feild are you in?

  Anyways, it’s feb 15 and Propagandhi dosen’t have a spring tour for Eastern Canada posted.

  What’s up with that? Are they working the band in the studio or another tour? Or what?
  Shouldn’t they be out on the road leading the revolution from the front lines.
  Canada needs them more than ever. They should be playing every highschool in Canada, and teaching the kids. And leading by example.

  Your a big hippie with a big BMW (the official NaZi vehicle of today, point argued above, wich I doubt you’ve read).

  What your familiar precedents did during that historical tragedy (as any war is) are irrelevant to your actual personal beliefs.
  Don’t you believe individuals have the ability to decide for them selves? Or are you some some kind of traditionalist? Traditions, as norms and rules, are made to be broken.
  Of course the paradox of choosing not to decide exists.

  No disrespect taken. I just believe your waaay of the point. Any point actually.
  It’s as if your heart were in the right place, but your brain were closer to your ass than to your head. No disrespect intentioned.

  Hey Everybody

  King Sebas is here. Listen to him judge, and preach.

  I didn’t know that a car dictated that I was a Nazi. It’s a 4 cylinder that’s great on gas. If the deisel version was sold in North America I’d drive that. It’s also, super safe, and that’s important to me.
  Cars…another thing you know nothing about. Cut it out, before somebody shuts you up. If you call me a Nazi again I will take actions that I prefer not to.

  There should be a forum controler. Because it sucks that people can’t have free speech without being called a Nazi.

  Propagandhi is about Education.

  My brain is in my head. My heart is in the right spot. And your hate is trying to limit me.

• Comment by Ed in Etobicoke on February 15th, 2007 at 6:25 pm:

  “What your familiar precedents did during that historical tragedy (as any war is) are irrelevant to your actual personal beliefs.”

  I was an English Major so let’s take a look at this sentence from Sebas previous post.

  First of all. If you begin a sentence with “what” you’re probably asking a question. So you should end your sentence with a question mark. They look like this “?”.

  Secondly, out of context your sentence says one thing (I was also a phsych major).
  —-you are using big words incorrectly, and awkwardly because you have self esteem issue’s. This is transposed into hate. Becareful young Jedi, “the dark side is closest to the light”.

  Thirdly, please don’t tell me what to think. And when you do that, please don’t do it while complainging about how people are told what to think.
  Understand?

  Anyways, Don’t call me a Nazi, and it’s cool. It nice to see misguided youth.
  At least your not at a Racist group blog. ANd I’m really happy for that.

  Peace
  Ed

• Comment by tom on February 15th, 2007 at 8:01 pm:

  Sebas- about the penis length and skid stuff, i was just trying to explain myself. someone took offense for some reason i cant explain.

  When i referred to occupied territory i am genreally refering to the immense (talking like most of the americas here) lands that were either stolen or conquered, by colonial powers, mainly england, france, spain, ireland. oops. not ireland, they were conquered by England too! i think that people should have a right to live where they want, but at what cost has this freedom been bestowed upon us? the complete annihilation of a culture? throwing fucking stones at natives trying to reach hospitals in my hometown of montreal, in 1990? fuck i dont want that price tag with my name on it. i am ashamed to come from here when i think about that shit.

  i think native people should have the right to self determination, even if maybe (and thats a big maybe) that means theyd want a few asswipes to leave (think energy barons, politicians), and its not only land that we’ve stolen. maybe we didn’t partake in the wars that formed this country, but we partake in the continued degradation and ultimately destruction of another culture. and a big reason to this i think is that tons of canadians and americans just arent too honest when it comes to history. maybe its the books they read.

  in any case i live in quebec and there is an attitude here that we (as in les quebecois) are the occupied territory and that is total bullshit. part of the reason we want to “seperate from shitada, also because we speak french we’re better colonizers. yeah. quebec is no better and often worse.

  there is something that should be said as a minor note that means nothing at all: “oka everywhere” is a great song. however, oka is the french colonial town just outside of kanehsatake, which is a reserve, slowly being transformed into golf courses where people who drive BMWs can mastubate over jesus’ picture with a blow up virgin mary doll. im going to the peg too, you schwipe!

  Ed:

  I don’t think it’s PRE-judging when i’m only reacting to what you are saying. I call you a Nazi ’cause you buy Nazi stuff, and that lame excuse ’bout how tou couldn’t find a diesel car isn’t being bought. I believe people should use theire legs, bike, skateboard or whatever and if the trajectory is too long (see Vancouver - Seattle) try public transport. It’s cheaper, healthier and you get to meet people :)
  About my linguistics, well, yeah, sorry. But i guess that for a person born in Spain and lived there most of his life and learned english based upon pure willpower well… I think i’m doing pretty good. If you’d like we could speak in castelan, catalan, basque or even dutch. I promise you my syntax is much better in those languages.
  And in reference to your pshrink aptitudes… don’t say that you’ve got a major in something when you’ve only just read a self-improvement book. Use you “common-sense psycology” on someone else. We all have self-esteem issues, but i don’t think i’m the worst case. I’ve already assumed i suck, and so does the rest of humanity. Your turn.

  Tom:

  THANX!
  That’s quite a view-pointer.
  I had a friend in Quebec that explained some things about a general desire to become an independant state, basically due to their (your) cultural differences, but… are there any political issues that also support this idea? I believe the political party now in legislation in Quebec has signed agreements in international protocol with the now leading socialist party in Spain. If their anybit alike, they’ll just be full of shit. Less shit than the conservative party, but full of it nontheless.
  I’ve been living in Euskadi (basque country) for some time and i understand the will to kill the surrogate mother-state. But… are your independentists as radical as the ones here? Hope not.

Ed, stop antagonising people with your belligerent, condescending essays, then signing off with “Peace”, its the internet, no ones gonna send a right hook through your monitor for speaking your mind. And please stop say things like “Im sure Propagandhi would agree” and “Propagandhi is about education”, as much as i love the band, itd be horribly naive to assume stuff about people i dont know personally (although i have met them, theyre sound gentlemen). If I wanted to listen to cry baby’s argue, id go tell my brother Andy that my other brother Tom has been wearing his boxers on a daily basis for the last year, and that when Andy keeps asking where his boxers are, ive known the truth all along.

  atrophic [dot] limbs [at] gmail [dot] com

  id love to learn about spain too. i am fascinated by its history especially of course the anarchists of the 30s and 40s.

  anyways yes here there are political parties and legislation which attempts to distinctualize shitbec from places like onshitio and shitatoba. and saskshitchewan. but really shitbec isnt very distinct besides the fact that french is the predominate language and that you buy beer in a depanneur (clearly a more evolved way) up to eleven oclock. the only good thing really i can say for quebec is that there are alot of different immigrant communities which of course are ubder attack, but in some places manage to thrive. multi culturalism is definately cool. oh and montreal has the best food in shitada hands down. not even mondragon can top the immense variety of vegan raunts we have here.

  its interesting to note that all europeans ive ever spoken dont know anything at all about the things their ancestors did. kinda like here! i consider myself a your pee’n. but do euros and their governments believe that their absoolved of culture destruction? africa? the oceanic continent?

  and have you ever heard of the flq? theres some quebecois fucking nutbags for you. kidnappings and carbombings and the like.

  and sorry if i pisssed anyone off or helped turn this blog into a shit=basket. i dont like ass-kickings. the fist is guilty.

  Anyway, thanks for the VHEMT link. Until now i thought this thing was a joke, but after reading through their site i’ve realised that what they’re saying is essentially a well formulated and intelligent elaboration on what my own miserly little brain could muster up on the topic.

  Cheers!

  Tom:

  You don’t deserve an Ass Kickin’, in fact, if anything at all, you’re the number one candidate for a Dink Lickin’!A
  I don’t believe this was some macho nacho contest or alike, actually, it was just a pipebomb construction gone terribly wrong.
  And that’s that (i hope).

  About Yurpeans and their past/legacy:
  What do you mean we know little of our past? I am lead to believe that, at least in Spain, history is the predominant subject in primary school. Well… at least the “ofishal” history alas.
  I am aware of the oceanic exploitations (holland, england and spain basically) and the african disasters (france, england again and portugal mainly) but the actual situations evolved from those historical facts are more mind-boggling. Like for example the fact that Spain, as an some-what-like isolated peninsula between “evolved and modern” Yrup and África is now essentially THE BORDER. Every immigrant or refugee wantig to import themselves to a better future for them and/or their family have to get in through Spain ot Turkey (wich amazingly have the same PIB anually), and let’s just say that theese guys coming from overall west africa could beat any olympic asswipe at fence jumping. And the Spanish police? What is their role in all of this? Well the “funny” thing is that there are not one, not two, but THREE separate exectuvie powers simultaneously of wich the by far worst are the Guardia Civil (no translation required) who are the leftovers of the Franco disctatorship heritage and are “controlled” by both the Military and the office of Internal Affairs.
  To put things short, just imagine an MP kickin’ the ass of a no-papers, no-job, no-house immigrant. It’s an ugly scene and i’ve never heard of happy endings.

  Bet you don’t see that on CNN.

  “once the fight has begun, both sides have lost”

  I never once told people that I’m macho. And I only said that I’d kick tom’s ass if he kept calling me a peace of shit on the Internet. The truth is, if this Tom isn’t from Prop or G7. Then the poor dude named Tom in those things almost got beat up by a “fan” of this site. He’ll never know how close he came. People will note that I didn’t repsond yesturday. G7 exsists because I let it.

  1. THis scene and blog are broken. It’s too bad that all of you “self-educated” and “self indignant”, wanna be’s are not educated enough to read my posts. Analyze them with out emotion. And then be educated. Here’s an idea. For every hardcore left wing literature you read. You should then read something from the power in control or an opposite view.
  This is how you get smart. Reading everything from the same view and never thinking outside the box, or asking questions. Makes you just as bad as a fundamentalist of any discipline.

  Propagandhi is only one side of things.

  It’s too bad that a once great Canadian band has turned into the thing that they sing about. A power that is irresponsible to it’s followers.

  I use to look up to these guys. One ignored email later. And I realize that the old “leaders” of punk in Canada, are clearly frauds.
  Hey Guys, it’s time to close the chapter on the Band and the Label and start to be real contributor’s to society. Instead of the biggest phonies in Canada.

  Prime Minister Harper is cooler than G7 and Propagandhi combined.
  He’s actually helping Canadians. And these chicken shits in Manitoba, jerk each other off and talk about left wing ideology.

  The human condition is the part that Marx forgot to tell people would skrew things up.

  The English Language is a tool and a craft. When you read Noam Chomsky, do you think that his editors would tell him that Grammar errors or swears are aloud to stay. Do you think that Noam would release something that could be perceived as “un- educated” and still carry his message.

  Stop using swears. There are thousands of words that you can use to describe your frustration, that are more advanced than “Fuck” or “shit”.

  Here’s the thing Tom—you need to re-read my comments and not be emotional

  Sebas—- Wow dude. When someone one this blog asks you to stop calling them a Nazi. And tells you why, and you keep doing so.

  Well, all the educated readers of this webpage. Are going to see you for your true George Bush self. Ignorant.

  It’s too bad that if either Tom or Sebas were ever given the chance to speak to Prime Minister Harper. They would really let down the punk world with their hate, ignorance, and simplicity.

  Peace
  Ed

  I SUGGEST NOT TO RESPOND OR THIS WHOLE THING WILL START ALL OVER AGAIN

  but…

  THERE’S NO TOM IN MAHATMAGANDA!

• Comment by Sebas on February 17th, 2007 at 8:34 am:

  Soooo…

  Satein failed huh? I’ve had the same problem all along and never quite figured out why.
  ¿Anyone got some pointers?

  It’s as if olive oil just doesn’t do the trick.

  ¡Oh yeah!

  ¿And how about those french elections huh? Wow, France is pretty much leaning towards the right. That’s probably why they keep on goin’ in circles (like supermarket shopping carts).

  And a suggestion:
  The topic of this blog: ¡G7 Radio!
  We almost forgot about that ¿ei?

  Wow. I couldn’t help but respond, sorry. First, this guy wants to criticize spelling and the like but doesn’t know the difference between “peace” and “piece”. Second, he tells everyone to read something from “the power in control”, as if EVERYTHING we read in the media isn’t from said sources. Third, thank you IMMENSELY for the info about communism failing. It’s nice that you assume that everyone here is a communist. Do yourself a favor buddy, stop posting and watch the Devils take the East. That’s right I said it. God I just wanna listen to Death and fuckin’ drink the rest of the weekend away. Oh wait, I was gonna do that anyway.

  kate- hey there, ego stroker! haha. no.thanks! :) anyways, glad you liked the link, i’d like to mention that the eco-foot print link you provided way back actually had a pretty profound effect on mylife. honestly. ive decided to live with my mom instead of finding my own place and wasting more energy, and i plan on quitting my job as my job supports all kinds of total fucking losers. yes, i am a vegan who deliveres endangered pelts for export. please kill me. yes i will live with my mom until im 35.

• Comment by yesmeansyes on February 17th, 2007 at 3:01 pm:

  Ed. You’re merging issues and making, unlimately, no sense. You move from communism, to Tom/Sebas bashing, and then to linking stephen harper to punk credentials… then you start whining about the hypocrisy of a band/label who havent even made response to your irrational posts…

  “Communism” “failed”… and therefore its irrational to consider an economic alternative to a system that is killing us? Good arguement!

  “Well, all the educated readers of this webpage. Are going to see you for your true George Bush self. Ignorant.” - and Ed, for an english major, thats an interesting use of fullstops.

  peese.

  ps. ed for the sake of this blog, please dont respond to me. i dont need a response. I know you disagree with me and think i’m an idiot already… just like anyone else who takes issue with anything you say. thanks bud.

  Yeah I knew that song was from that album…I just thought I heard you say something like “new Submission Hold” which made my heart skip a beat, but then I remembered they broke up… so I was kinda confused. Maybe I should listen to the actual words you guys say.

  please free to feel edit my sentax?

• Comment by kate on February 17th, 2007 at 10:54 pm:

  i’m glad someone found the eco-footprint link useful. i have serious paranoia and self-esteem problems and generally equate a lack of response to silent indignation and ridicule. (yes, i really am that lame)

  So in a pathetic attempt to illicit more favorable attention from complete stangers who may or may not be 12-year-olds posing as BMW-driving English-Majors (should that be capitalised and hyphenated? Enlighten me, please!), i offer two more links for your perusal…

  The first is a list of companies worthy of being boycotted according to various campaign groups. It is primarily a resource for people in the UK, though some are universally applicable. The reasons for boycott are varied and some entire countries are listed (including Canada!). I’m not entirely sure how one goes about boycotting an entire country, maybe someone can help me out with that. There are links to both the companies and the organisations heading the campaigns against them. Anyway, here it is:

  http://www.ethicalco...ts/boycotts_list.htm

  (the site is for a magazine, by the way)

  This second link is pretty cool, i think. The site is called ‘BoycottBush’ and it lists the “TOP 25 REPUBLICAN PARTY DONORS WITH CONSUMER BRANDS”, shows how much they donated, what products they sell in the US and UK (though some are sold in other countries throughout the world also), and offers alternatives to some of these products, mainly for those in the UK. Here it is:

  http://www.boycottbush.net/index.htm

  If you need to be convinced as to why it may be a good idea to boycott irresponsible and straight-up homicidal (or genocidal, even) business practices in general, then instead of me rambling on incoherently, i’d rather point you towards this wikipedia page on the topic:

  http://en.wikipedia....iki/Moral_purchasing

  I’m sure that for most of you here this information will be less than enlightening, but personally, the choices i make with the money i gather is something that i constantly struggle with, as, sadly, it’s probably the most significant political statement that i make in my privileged Western life. A hell of a lot more significant than going to rallies or voting in elections, that’s for sure.

  (Doesn’t it make you wanna scream/cry/go back to bed when you see people at antiglobalisation rallies and meetings about social injustices around the world drinking CocaCola and eating Nestle confectionery?)

  These people are ruled by profit. If we stop giving them money they will stop fucking over the planet and it’s inhabitants, and no longer hold the power to influence/dictate the policy-making in our ‘democracies’. It’s really that simple. Obviously the BEST thing to do is to limit our consumption as much as possible, and convince those around us to do the same. Well, seems logical to me, anyway…

• Comment by kate on February 17th, 2007 at 10:59 pm:

  Wow, sorry, didn’t mean to ramble like that.

  Have one more quick link for any fellow Australians they may read this…

  There’s this insane mentality that i’ve noticed has been gaining popularity of late, that it is somehow ‘ethical’ to eat Kangaroo meat.

  here are some reasons why that is absolutely absurd:

• Comment by Hairhole on February 18th, 2007 at 3:43 am:

  Tom, you had me at ‘farting…’

  I do.

  To any of you Leafs fans out there (namely you, ‘c-hair’, here’s a neat link for yas: http://www.youtube.c.../watch?v=jFL1e1SRWuI

  “But you got another fart* coming. I got another fart* coming. We (que dual vocal-Tom and Hairhole- attack) got another fart* coming. With farts* like these…”

• Comment by tom on February 18th, 2007 at 11:44 am:

  so where’s the honeymoon gonna be, my new holesband?? maybe sweeden to visit the sundinator after he gets sent home without making it to the finals???? gotta touch that sweedish wood…

  schedamn kate. im sure ill get to those links at somepoint, but i basically think that when people boycott a coutry it genereally calls for poeple and nations to not buy anything made from said coutry. cutting off all economic ties i.e. imports/exports. boycott canada? fuck that must be for seal clubbing? involvment in the newwar on terrorism? indigenous genocide? g7 radio?

  i remember when israel destroyed another part of lebanon, bringing beirut to the ground, there was a huge call out to boycott israel. now i dont often see to too many israeli products, but one of the products was wine and olive oil, from certain companies. it was known that these companies used stolen palestinian land to create their orchards/groves, and uh, they were uhhhh completely destroying many lives, including children. and anybody who destroys children is pretty much a monster in my book so a big open assed spakle fart fuck you to the total shitfaces who guide israeli military policy not to meantion those sexless ” i get off by being told what to do” fucking shit for brains who guide israeli missiles. fuck em all.

  and i wouldnt be surprised if most people (definately my snot-faced-shit-panted-non-showering-stink-brained-self) might suffer from self esteem the size of a dink so small that you need the fucking hubble telescope to see. and i heard theyre taking that fucking thing down. fuck that !

• Comment by Ed in Etobicoke on February 18th, 2007 at 1:28 pm:

  Someone is Canada who claims refugee status recieves $1800 a month

  Someone is Canada who is on Canada Pension recieves $900

  Yeah, Canada sucks! And I’m a Nazi and I’m like George bush.

  All you stupid left wing losers. I’m pretty sure that i’ve proven that I’m neither of the two.
  Also, you ingorance in name calling, someone from the same scene as you is absolutely insane, and ignorant.

  Yeah, that’s right losers! You’ve been on the losing side so long, it’s no wonder that you’re all so violient now. Protests at G8 meetings get bad press, and hurt the scene. Way to go G7!

  You’re leaders,,,,,ie G7 and Propa(fraud)

  Are leading you to a life that sucks!

  So, yeah, Canada sucks. Someone who has paid into Canadian Social securtity(for as long as 30 years) gets less money then someone who has just arrived to start a safe life.

  Yeah,

  Also, It really bugs me that you guys call me george bush or a Nazi

  Please post something that you’ve done that has actually made a difference to People in your community.

  THen sling stones at me.

  In the mean time. I’m busy with organinizing a blog that is Non-profit for artists.

  I lose money on this, but it’s a community service I’m proud of.

  Ps. nobody from G7 has emailed me back

  chicken shit left wing losers!

• Comment by Sebas on February 18th, 2007 at 4:21 pm:

  [Stirdy round of applause]

  All this comunist/left wing insane arguments really confuse me. I can’t speak for everybody, but i think the people who frecuent this blog are mainly burn-the-left-the-center-and-the-right-fucking-wing-of-any-parlament-building-in-this-hipolitical-piece-o-shit-economy.
  I said i THINK so, i could be wrong.
  Communists… ¡Ha!

  If you believe in freedom, democracy and all thos kinds of lies, are aginst fascism (as any rational person is), subjugation and state-terrorism and bath youself with Nazi sope, in my book, your still a Nazi.
  “Like yo momma used to say, Nazi is Nazi does”.

  Canada is loosing money altruisticly to offer refugees a fighting chance at the starter line, the same way you brag about your money-costing blog (say what?) for bohemian hobo’s. Both of you are great members of a contribuiting community. Shame on me.

  I admit i’m chiken, i’m shit and i’m a loser. But I don’t drive NaZi Cars :D

  ¡Piece and lof! (you hipocritical Nazi)

  White, Proud AND COMPLETELY MORONIC.

  Don’t you guys think that the vision of a traditional two member marriage is a little old-fashioned? I mean… how ’bout havinf the honey moon somewhere like, oooh idunno, ¿Spain maybe?

  See ya guys soon? ;*

• Comment by jennifer on February 18th, 2007 at 7:34 pm:

  I just thought I’d let you all know that I scrolled past most of this page.

  I’m seeing Parenti speak this Wednesday.

• Comment by tom on February 18th, 2007 at 8:05 pm:

  hey jennifer- i don’t blame you for scrolling through all this. to tell you the truth i come to this blog to see a few links, the humour, farting jokes, and sometimes some of the folks here have some really pertinent and funny things to say. i usually feel i do more harm than good. anyways,

  fuck, parenti hasnt come to my town in a while to my knowledge. i heard him on a few cd’s, i like what he has to say. mr.zinn was here a while ago but the hall was so packed i didnt stand a chance getting close to hearing him. i have however listened to ann hansen speak, AND I EVEN SOLD A BOOK TO HER AT THE MTL BOOKFAIR A FEW YEARS BACK!!!! sorry, im very proud of this. she is indeed a cool lady.

  anyways, a while back i slagged you, so, sorry aboot that, but i do believe once you kinda slagged me too. just trying to make amends…have fun! in a funny and my hands down my own pants way this blog makes me feel a little less alone…

  gerty, i hope i haven’t made you feel bad either. i like what you have to say too and i like the way you write. :) (still wearing my subhold t-shirt):)

  anyways- a serious question for gq7 radio: why not have an interview with some of the “spoken word” artists from your back catalog? i mean, you denied them any space on the comp, and have not heard anything from them on the radio. i think ann hansen would have some extremely important things to say, she’s really cool. can’t wait to read her book.

  take care all. :)

• Comment by Hairhole on February 18th, 2007 at 8:43 pm:

  I agree, those interviews on g7 radio are totally kick ass. For example, the Jon Elmer interview was soo good on episode two (along with the other interviews, or course); and then, to my surprise, I went to this http://www.stopwar.ca/ conference yesterday, and who was speaking? Motherfucking Jon motherfucking Elmer. It was awesome. He’s everybit as intelligent and sexy as he sounds on the radio show.

  Moral of the story: while any g7 radio is good radio, full length episodes, with interviews and ‘boogie woogie rock and roll’ music, are untouchable…and so is tom and sebas; I wish I could touch you. Softly.

• Comment by mark on February 19th, 2007 at 7:13 am:

  when will Prop come to Australia? ill make you guys dinner, promise.
  also hip hip hooray for more G7 radio-ay

• Comment by kate on February 19th, 2007 at 7:14 am:

  speaking of g7 radio…

  if i remember correctly, in one of the earlier episodes Derek (or Chris, i dunno) mocks Ian McKaye’s inclusion in that PETA’s sexiest person list-thing.

  Well, tonight after seeing the Evens play one of the most super-awesome-tastic** shows i’ve seen in a long time, i feel compelled to verify that he is in fact a sexy, sexy man. THE sexiest, even. The sexiest Even. The sexiest……..ohh, you get the point.

  So, DEREK(!!!) (or CHRIS(!!!), again, i dunno) I thinkyou’ll find it’s the list that warrants mockery, not the man. Indeed!

• Comment by kate on February 19th, 2007 at 7:16 am:

  please remind me how it is you do italics?

  i’m done now.

• Comment by tom on February 19th, 2007 at 10:04 am:

  i always thought that g7 was shokced that the sexiest man (besides harihole (ian mackaye)) was ommitted from the list? either way i wouldn’t doubt if they had their hands down their own pants when looking at the photos of the list.

  and smello cyplafla still a meathead?!?!?!

  italics are words

  but without the spaces

  tony UK! im trying to read your posts with an english accent, you’re fuckin hilarious

  Hey folks! I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade here - but this is perhaps the most message-board-like comment thread on this blog yet. Isn’t it great? No? Right, I agree. Glad we could come to an agreement there.

  Let’s keep it at least vaguely-related to G7 radio, recognize when someone (example of whom will not be named) is trolling, and then let them starve.

• Comment by jennifer on February 19th, 2007 at 1:10 pm:

  Tom? “Slagging”? I don’t quite remember any arguments I’ve had with anyone specifically, all I remember is getting mad at people for making fun of the Weakerthans. (ha) And then some brief skirmish with Anthony from the last blog. So, we’ll just leave it at if I’ve ever had an ‘argument’ with anyone on the internet, I am officially calling a truce.

  Howard Zinn talked here last year, it was inspiring. He isn’t the most articulate of speakers, but he knows what he’s saying (as everyone here knows) and gets riled up when he starts talking about examples of extreme injustices… it was endearing. He also has a good sense of humor. I’m looking forward to seeing Parenti speak, but there are two shows the day before that I want to go to. On top of school and everything else, I don’t know if I’ll be able to see Parenti in the most sober of spirits.

• Comment by gerty on February 19th, 2007 at 2:10 pm:

  Hey Jennifer you should bootleg Parenti. I bootlegged ward churchill and it was awesome.

  So how come no news of the Propagandhi winnipeg show?!

  I’m so excited i can barely jerk off.

• Comment by D-Rock on February 19th, 2007 at 2:16 pm:

  Gerty: See the tours page - Winnipeg show has been announced!

• Comment by Sebas on February 19th, 2007 at 4:04 pm:

  Starvation it is…

  One thing I haven’t had the necessary intelligence to figure out is… What’s up with the redux!? I mean, the show has been divided tenfold (literally, 60 minutes become 6) and i can’t figure out why.
  If you have no time, i get it, too busy with all the G7 releases and the new merchandise catalog to offer spoken~word geniuses some podspace or to broadcast more thrash-ska-hiphop. Laaaaaaaaaaame (of me to say).

  I miss you guys. It’s breaking my tiny weenie weener.

  :_)

  All you need is dove’s (¡new handcrême!)

  HairHole, dude, you can touch me anytime and show me the reason of your reputable name. I NEEEEEED it SOOOOO badly. Everyone over here has become metro-sexual and there’s no hair in unconfortable places anymore.

  ¡Lick Ass and Kick IceCream folks!

  what kind of cryptic response is that?!?

• Comment by tom on February 19th, 2007 at 5:22 pm:

  kate i was trying to show you how to italiceize but because its html whenevr i try the example get banished from existence.

  you must first press (no spaces)

  then you type what you want to italicize.

  then you type

  THERE SHOULD BE GUIDELINES TO THIS FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!! (not actually mad)

  hope helps
