Good Morning Comrades! Actually, a very good morning as I have finally arrived in Greece and will be writing from here for the next few weeks. Obviously, todays main story should be about the election results from the German Federal election but I will get to that after a few organizational pieces of information.
These emails will continue whilst I am out here but I will not promise them to be as regular in regards to being in your inbox at 6am every day. 12hrs on this island and I can already feel a much needed relaxation settling in and I somehow doubt I will be keeping regular office hours over here. Additionally, I will stick to this platform and our telegram group for the time being, I have deleted IG from my phone for now and with that, I would greatly appreciate you sharing the hell out of this newsletter with whomever you think this would be relevant for. I am intrigued how well this thing reaches people without the Zuch Fuckery Inc.
Obviously, a new playlist is here for you and yeah, you do not want to miss this one. The week past was extremely stressful and the last bit of this playlist I added today, after a day of sun, swimming, squats and sunshine - truthfully, that this playlist goes from heaps of new music from bands like BJM, Underground Resistance, Kim Gordon, Khruangbin and Monolord- traverses genres from Detroit Techno to Jazz, Doom, Shoegaze, Space Metal, Post Punk, Dub, Hip Hop to 80s Pop and then some should say it, but let’s just say it works.
I also have a 4 new Black Lodges drops lined up for you, or 2 rather with multiple pieces in each one of them. I obviously do not want to overload anyone here so here is your chance to give some input.
I can drop singular drops over the next 4 weeks that will include 2 Long Sleeves, an embroidered Fleece in 2 colours as well as an embroidered black nylon coach jacket or I can drop all of that over the next two weeks. Please comment below, or drop a line in the telegram chat today so I can make this is as possible for everyone.
Here are two more teasers for you though.
Alright, so the German Federal Election. Truthfully, I can’t say much about it at this stage, because a) it’s a few hours yet at the time of writing until the first predictions come in and b) well shit, elections, that time when you essentially can only decide on the amount of irrelevance that circus will have because the real work remains outside of the parliamentary reality. Of course I voted, as we all should, for our kids and everyone else’s kids and those that due to the remaining racist laws in our countries cannot vote - which in Germany is around 10 million people that are made to pay taxes but are not allowed to vote. I truthfully do not care which one of the multi coloured shell companies for the German Industrial Might will “succeed” and what coalitions they will present as a progressive reality in the next coming weeks but I do hope that both the Christian Conservative and the Neo-Nazi Party both get a good thrashing. I am sure I will be touching on this subject over the next few days but for the time being, that is all that remains to be said about this farce. Remember, the real work happens at home, in your home, house, your neighborhood and within your community.
With that, I am going to be finishing this most excellent ice cold beer, piss off again for another swim and leave you with a solid selection of hot shots to kick start your week with. Thank you in advance for sharing and supporting this here newsletter, until Wednesday my Comrades!
