Angry Brigade (1974) Persons Unknown (1980)


The Angry Brigade (1974 - Gordon Carr)
Between 1970 and 1972 the Angry Brigade used guns and bombs in a series of symbolic attacks against property. A series of communiqués accompanied the actions, explaining the choice of targets and the Angry Brigade philosophy: autonomous organisation and attacks on property alongside other forms of militant working class action. Targets included the embassies of repressive regimes, police stations and army barracks, boutiques and factories, government departments and the homes of Cabinet ministers, the Attorney General and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. These attacks on the homes of senior political figures increased the pressure for results and brought an avalanche of police raids. From the start the police were faced with the difficulty of getting to grips with a section of society they found totally alien. And were they facing an organisation — or an idea? Gordon Carr's film explores covers the roots of the Angry Brigade in the revolutionary ferment of the 1960's and the anarchist First of May Group, and follows their campaign and the police investigation to its culmination in the 'Stoke Newington 8' conspiracy trial at the Old Bailey — the longest criminal trial in British legal history. It remains the essential study of Britain’s first urban guerrilla group.
Persons Unknown (1980 - Gordon Carr)
Documentary by Gordon Carr on the so-called 'Persons Unknown' case in December 1979 in which members of the Anarchist Black Cross were tried at the Old Bailey on a charge of 'conspiring with persons unknown, at places unknown to cause explosions'.
A concise look at the 'Persons Unknown' trial. A fascinating snapshot of history in the making, The Persons Unknown pieces together an intricate web of radicals at a thriller’s pace. Carr crisply relates the correspondences of a Black Cross secretary and imprisoned Irish republican and reaches all the way back to the Paris Commune to discuss the secretive, internationalist elements of radical leftist politics. Where mainstream media tends to become hysterical where anarchism is concerned, The Persons Unknown remains keenly factual throughout. Among those featured in the film are Stuart Christie, publisher of the "Black Flag" newsletter and former would-be Generalisimo Francisco Franco assassin, and the anarcho-punk group Crass.

Gnod & John Doran - ​Live at Islington Mill


Recorded at live Islington Mill on 31st May 2015 as part of John Doran's month long UK tour with Arabrot. This is a unique one off Gnod improvisation along with John giving two readings from his book, Jolly Lad. The result is a dank, claustrophobic bus ride through Manchester's rain swept streets followed by a moment of complete clarity amongst the chaos.
Tesla Tapes feels this unique show had to be documented because the show and the night was special and the recording came out so flipping good.
Props to all involved.

Swans to split

Just got home comatose after finishing up the final leg of our 14 month tour for Swans To Be Kind album. We have come to your town, though it's doubtful we have partied down. It has been a privilege to be inside the sound that on some nights seems to create itself of its own accord, and it's gratifying that many of you have conveyed to us that it's been a positive experience for you too... Next step: Sept 1 we commence a new Swans album. This will be the final Swans album (and subsequent tour) for this version / iteration of Swans. Not really sure what the next step will be after that, but that's perhaps a good thing... We'll be making a live album/fundraiser (called The Gate) soon, in order to raise the necessary - somewhat daunting - capital for the studio album, which is bound to be an insatiable beast... more soon, Thanks and Love! - Michael Gira
Kristof actually told me this the last time they were in Melbourne. Had to keep it quiet until now

I'm sorry but someone had to do it

Some other things...

Stick this on play and follow the links. A couple of interesting photo essays on Cuban youth culture here and here. A disturbing video on Japan's obsession with schoolgirls. (He really should get his blind fixed tho @5:12). The mass amnesia regarding 1989's Tiananmen Square protests. A poll published yesterday showed that 45% of Australians think that our gun laws are not strong enough with another 40% thinking they are about right, which only goes to show how out of touch the NRA are. This is disturbing though. Oh and the irony of the last sentence here. The death of a prosecutor. Island have been slack in the Nick Drake compilation department of late. Typedrummer. Road mangler Phil Kaufman hurt in a motorbike crash. This is just crazy. Hope Gangloff. This is clever marketing. Not even going to touch the roadcrash of Australian Federal politics. (EDIT: good gawd! A policy!) If you haven't seen 'In Bob We Trust' well do yourself a favour. Finally Space Ace and myself took ourselves down to the 'No Room For Racism' rally on Saturday (well out of the way of the pepper spray) and once again the nazis of the UPF were totally outnumbered, tho they claim victory of course. John Safran has a funny piece here. Worth keeping up with slackbastard to see what our far right friends are up to. Move over illuminati here comes the illiterati. This is worth a read. As is this. First Dog On The Moon hits the nail on the head as ever. Oh and onya Barnsey.  (EDIT: You have to laugh, shouting at someone to get off the phone while he films and drives.) Anyway it would appear that Space Ace is actually a commie cosmonaut!
