My old email address (***@yahoo.co.uk) got hit by a virus
today, so I've had to create this new one
(***@yahoo.co.uk).
[For those who are interested (perhaps you want to search Google
groups), I've had the following earlier email addresses in
chronological order: ***@cs.man.ac.uk (sometimes displayed as
***@r5.cs.man.ac.uk), ***@mmu.ac.uk, ***@supanet.com
and ***@mighty-micro.co.uk).]
My big project at the moment is launching a revolutionary socialist
band called Galaxia. I have put a call out on the internet (details are
on the Galaxia website: www.galaxiamusic.org) for musicians and singers
to go to a recording studio tomorrow (Thursday 30th June). We will be
doing three songs: "Do They Know It's G8 Time?" (my lyrics to the Band
Aid 20 tune "Do They Know It's Christmas?"), "The Revolution Starts
Now!" (an original song written by myself, including snippets from
other songs) and "L'internaçionale" (my version of the international
song of the working class: "The Internationale").
We will put the songs, in a variety of formats (including MP3), on
various sites on the internet, including the Galaxia website, later on
tomorrow or Friday. Look at the Galaxia discussion group
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/galaxiamusic for further places that you
will be able to download them from.
In the meantime, to find the lyrics, go to the Galaxia website or
discussion group.
This is of course just in time for the G8 summit, for which I am
calling for a worldwide general strike. Of course it would be naive to
expect workers to strike everywhere, and (for reasons I've put on the
website www.g8summitworldwidegeneralstrike.org) I don't expect much
more than a school students strike in Britain, but surely it would not
be too much out of the question to expect a serious general strike
which challenges for power (and will hopefully lead to a socialist
revolution) somewhere in the world this G8 time (6-8 July in
Gleneagles, Scotland; see my worldwide general strike website or
www.g8alternatives.org for details of events in the run-up to and
during that summit)...
If you think that one person putting out this call cannot achieve much,
ponder this: I've been sending messages to large collections of groups
at http://groups.yahoo.com for a while. However, only those who chose
to join the groups (rather than read the archives) and then receive
each message individually (rather than as a digest or read messages on
the web) have been able to find out which other groups I've sent
messages to. Additionally, I've had to send messages in separate groups
due to Yahoo!'s limit on the number of email addresses sent in the To:
or CC: fields. I created 70 groups of my own (and sent messages out in
two bunches).
As a service to the working class across the world, I am including
below a list of all groups (some of which I have posted to before) that
I am about to send this message out to at http://groups.yahoo.com. Go
to that website and search for a particular group name, or type
"http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/" followed by a group name, if you want
to find out about a particular one and consider joining it. I have
included them in alphabetical order, except for two groups I have set
up today which are at the start. [I will no longer be able to modify
the descriptions of any of my previous groups or remove the odd spammer
who appears from time to time.] I've included most of the groups I
created under my old email address, especially the most important.
The groups are as follows:
