[matilda] Do they know it's G8 time?! (for Nick...)

[Joe Morris]

Gav...This is the guy who got naked at the G8 and who, while you were laying 
in your tent at Earth First, heard me exlaim to: "Steve...you appear to be 
naked" and who then proceeded to tell me how Martine McCutheon was a vital 
part of the revolution...

This is the crazy guy..the naked, crazy guy...why on earth do we want him 
coming to Matilda...???

I don't often spam the list with random music recommendations, so
you may take this one time I'm doing it as a serious assurance of
the high quality of the music involved. This is self described
"revolutionary socialist" (one man) band Galaxia performing their
reworking of a popular Christmas hit... If you were lucky enough,
like some of us, to be at Earth First, you might have been treated
to a live rendition. Several hundred times.

Seriously, check it out. It's inspiring.

And a few words from the lead singer on how this astonishing track
was put together:

The initial line-up for my revolutionary socialist band Galaxia -
just myself on vocals and Adam from the Cutting Rooms recording
studio
(Abraham Moss Centre, City College, Manchester) on acoustic guitar
accompanying me on two tracks - performed and recorded three tracks
("Do They Know It's G8 Time?", "The Revolution Starts Now!"
and "L'internaçionale") on Thursday the 30th of June. [I'd
like people playing other instruments and Adam does not want to be
involved with the band in the future anyway, so I will continue
looking
for band members.]

I had had to go AWOL on the previous Monday from the psychiatric
ward
on which I was a political prisoner, and the police recaptured me
on
the Friday before I had a chance to put the tracks on the internet.
Despite escaping on the Saturday, I did not have access to my flat,
so
I could not put the tracks on my website before the G8 summit.
