I finally had a chance to record/edit an episode of Rebel Time Radio from a recent show on Nov. 2nd. Take a listen, next show will be a continuation of this one, full of corrections, fact checking and follow up...including an in studio interview with the folks over at Poverty Makes Us Sick! (KW group). Music for motivation & helping to build a culture of resistance!

Featuring a revolutionary themed playlist with music from Germany, Ireland, U.K., Italy, Spain, Catalunya, Basque, Russia, & North America. We also play both songs from the new Rebel Time release "Treason 45" by The Class Assassins and chat about Occupy Movement, the Oakland General Strike and finish off with an interesting mix of tunes going from hip-hop, to dub then to some grind/crust!

Whatever about those that hoot for the progress of history as if some grand design were at work, the working class of the nineteenth century were more than aware of what had been lost with the onset of the industrial revolution. As someone who had lived through some of the rougher years of hunger in 1840's Manchester - albeit removed from discomfort - Mary Gaskell produced her novel Mary Barton as a reaction, capturing a world with direct memories of the "pleasant mysteries" of a romanticised rural life abandoned for the urban where, as Engel's had it "the rapid extension of manufacture demanded hands."
