What is democracy?  

Is it really the policy marketplace that masquerades as governance by and for the people in most western nations?  What does buying politicians and laws have to do with democracy?  What does imprisoning whistleblowers and framing activists to try and silence them have to do with democracy? 

The US imperialist regime destroys countries and massacres countless innocent people in the name of spreading "democracy", but what are they actually spreading?  The only thing that spreads through war and death is more war and death.  In reality, the governments of the US, UK and EU are at best barely more democratic than China -- just less honest.  

Don't be dazzled by the specter of western democracy.  It's nothing but buzzwords and empty promises and fake smiling con artists.  When it's inconvenient to the true masters of western civilization, democracy can go fuck itself, and it does.

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” ~Frank Zappa

Alex Metric & Steve Angello ft. Ian Brown 'Open Your Eyes' Pete Tong Exclusive!

“A grand, funky number”
— NME Magazine

“So interesting, so original.”
— Dave Rowntree (Blur, XFM)

With a nod to 1970s jazz funk greats the inspirational and humanitarian musings of the enigmatic Bruce Lee are backed by breakbeats, bass, guitar, shakers, 3 piece horn section and a haunting vibraphone melody. All recorded using real live instruments and in order to preserve a natural groove no click track was used during the recording.

On May 22, 2014 Dave Rowntree of Blur made it his record of the week on XFM calling it "so interesting, so original." Both Don Letts and Gideon Coe have been spinning it on BBC 6 Music along with WFUV's Kara Manning in New York and numerous local stations across the UK.

Be Water My Friend will be issued on new Leeds imprint All My Friends as a split 7” with label mates Invisible Hands &amp; their debut single Just.

LYRICS

[Spoken & authored by Bruce Lee]

Empty your mind
Be formless, shapeless
Like water

When you put water into a cup
it becomes the cup
when you put water into a bottle
it becomes the bottle
when you put it in a teapot
it becomes the teapot

Now water can flow
or it can crash

Be water my friend

Running water never goes stale
so you gotta just keep on flowing

Be water my friend

Its very slow and you push it out
but all the time you are keeping the continuity going
bending, stretching everything
I suppose you know you just keep it moving
see the idea is running water never grows stale
so you gotta just keep on flowing

Be water my friend

To express oneself honestly
not lying to oneself
and to express myself honestly
now that my friend is very hard to do
and you have to train
you have to keep your reflexes
so that when you want it its there

When you want to move you are moving
and when you move you're determined to move
not taking one inch - not anything less than that
If I want to punch
I'm gonna do it man

Be water my friend

Here I am you know as a human being
How can I express myself totally and completely?
Its a process of continuing growth

Empty your mind
Be formless
Shapeless

Be water my friend

You what I want to think of myself? As a human being. Because - I mean, I don't want to sound like 'as Confucius say...' but under the sky, under the heavens man, there is but one family. It just so happens man that people are different.

Fold - Be Water My Friend (Single)

My favorite version of this is the original, but this version seems to be rare on the 'net, so I thought I'd promote it a bit.
Unkle are amazing. (After all, they got Ian Brown and Mani back together in the studio, right?)
My favorite album of theirs is "Never, Never Land."
I hope you enjoy this and seek out more Unkle. . .

BAD IDEAS (Ryan W. Martin) - twitter.com/badideasmovie
I step up to the roles, 
The actor knows how easy it is to be exposed, 
When you go – you go. 
So when you go – you go. 
Yes, everyone is some great, 
I’ll always keep your secrets safe, 
Inside our hiding place, blessed by your pure grace, 
Keep the smile on your face 
Because when I grow up, 
When I finally sober up, I’ll be freed from the drugs, 
I’ll be free for your love. 
My best friends are long gone but I got runner ups 
And every step is moving me up. 
Northern stars with hearts filled with love, 
Trust this stardust as we shine up above, 
Follow the lights because we’re taking you up, 
We’re taking you up. 
We have been stuck too long in this dungeon, 
Conquered the walls then climbed to the ceiling, 
The Beat Demon's rhythms lift us all higher than the ceilings. 

Follow the lights because we're taking you up, 
We're taking you up. 

Alleviate every pain, anxiety and worries, point to the sky and be free.
Escape responsibilities, use courtesy. 
The stars are made for you and me, magic and tranquillity; 
this is how we walk on the moon, would you like to see? 
Become the higher self that your conscious wants to be. 
Look how clear life can be, with love and sincerity, 
Devotion and equality, pushing mankind to the point of global harmony. 
One love, unity! 
Wake up the mind, soul and eyes. 
Feel the vibes, this is just the end of time. 
The world ticks on. Doomsday's book was wrong. 
Some records are kept and some are spun. 
Always read, write and listen. 

Follow the lights because we're taking you up, 
We're taking you up.

LYRICS

Mr President, we’re in trouble. 

It’s clear that the true problems of our nation are much deeper… deeper than gasoline lines or energy shortages – deeper, even, than inflation or recession. 

Too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption.
Human identity is no longer defined by what one does but by what one owns.

And we’ve discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning.
We’ve learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose. 

Mr President, we’re in trouble. 

What can we do?
First of all, we must face the truth and then we can change our course.
If you lead Mr President, we will follow.

Fold - Mr President, We're in Trouble (ft. Jimmy Carter)

Kurt Vonnegut in 1973 and Mary O’Hara in 1957 feature on this track that reflects on coping with death and grief through the use of excerpts from the former’s novel Slaughterhouse-Five narrated by the author himself. The excerpts are worked into a song based on Mary O’Hara’s version of an old Irish song called Eileen Aroon. The hook of the song is actually Kurt Vonnegut himself which may well be the only known recording of him singing. He sings a couple of lines from an old song cited in Slaughterhouse-Five called That Old Gang of Mine.

Lyrics

So long forever, old fellas and gals
So long forever, old sweethearts and pals
God bless ‘em

Robert Kennedy, whose summer home is 8 miles from the home I live in all year round, was shot 2 nights ago.
He died last night. So it goes.
Martin Luther King was shot a month ago. He died too. So it goes.

So long forever, old fellas and gals
So long forever, old sweethearts and pals
God bless ‘em

And every day my government gives me a count of corpses created by military science in Vietnam. So it goes.
My father died many years ago now, of natural causes.
He was a sweet man. He was a gun nut too.
He left me his guns. They rust.

So long forever, old fellas and gals
So long forever, old sweethearts and pals
God bless ‘em

So it goes.

Everything is alright and everybody has to do exactly what he does.

Fold - So It Goes (ft. Kurt Vonnegut)

This track features a controversial speech given by Dr Martin Luther King Jr in 1967 in protest of the Vietnam war. He had already received the Nobel Peace Prize and one year later to the day he was murdered. Many felt that as a civil rights leader he had no place speaking out against the war but he was adamant with good reason that ‘a time comes when silence is betrayal.’ His understanding of global politics and his knowledge of history as evidenced in the case he makes throughout this speech were extraordinary.

The narrative extracted from this speech is however more generally a calling to speak out against injustice & tyranny perpetrated against those who otherwise have no way of defending themselves and no forum in which to voice their victimisation. These words resonate with grave potency in today’s world just as they did in those days. They could apply just as easily to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as they did to the war in Vietnam.

Tom Robinson of BBC 6 Music chose this track for the BBC Introducing Mixtape and also aired it on his show.

LYRICS

I speak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast at the path we have taken. 

A time comes when silence is betrayal. The truth of these words is beyond doubt, but the mission to which they call us is a most difficult one. Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. 

We are called to speak for the weak, for the voiceless, for the victims of our nation, for those that call us enemy. For no document from human hands can make these humans any less our brothers. 

We are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us. We must be prepared to match actions with words by seeking out every creative method of protest possible. 

Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest.

Fronted by vocal excerpts from Mike Ruppert in CoLLapse – a film about Mike's ominous, eerily accurate predictions for our collective future – this track highlights the need for us to change the way we think in order to effect real change in the world.

LYRICS

All plastic is oil; most paints; all pesticides are made from oil. Everything from toothpaste to toothbrushes is made from oil. There are 7 gallons of oil in every tire. There is nothing anywhere in any combination that will replace the edifice built by fossil fuels… Nothing.

I think it’s fairly certain that the mortal blow of human industrialised civilisation will happen when oil prices spike again and nobody can afford to buy that oil – and everything will just shut down.

The love of money is the route of all evil and it is the love of money which has the potential to exterminate, to render extinct, the entire human race.

You walk toward your fear, you embrace your fear, you don’t try to hedge it. Part of real living as a human being, as a spiritual being, is to embrace and encompass your fear, your love and not run away from anything because that’s the life experience. And its in that richness that I think we find the most beautiful art, the most beautiful music; we find the richness of what the human soul can offer and I see all that richness buried under such bullshit.

The only thing in the world that you and I can possibly change – to give ourselves a chance of survival and to give our children a chance at some kind of human civilised life – is our minds.

We are all collectively – as a species – responsible for what may be the greatest preventable holocaust in the history of planet earth… our own suicide.

Fold - That's the Life Experience (ft. Mike Ruppert)

As Dr Martin Luther King Jr states so eloquently 'I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values.' This was as valid 4 decades ago as it is today – and not just for the USA.

Save the promise of protection
Save the connections
Save the procession
Save the confessions

Save the pressure of public perception
Save the treasure that comes from collection
Save winter’s discontentment, a cold summer’s resentment
Save voter apathy, a crap football team and short spans of attention
Save mishandled scandals, undamaged faith in professionals
Save the alchemist that balances science and intervention

Save industrial strikes
Save the extra daylight
Save the rainy days, last night a DJ saved my life
Pray that unknown Tinas aren’t saved by well known Ikes
Save the good intentions that pave the days of our lives

Save electricity
Save the bumblebee
Save the humble ministry from tumbling amongst the weeds
Save the police deputies and sheriffs that messed with Bob Marley
Save the deterrent inherent in all the world’s armies
Save us from the next flood, earthquake or tsunami
Save the invite
Save the party

Save us from belief
Save us from the grief
Save us from the separation of the chaff from the wheat
Save the daily bread, the daily rice, the daily peas
Save the missing pieces to make the jigsaw complete

So before an offer can be made of salvation
Let’s save ourselves and then work on the nation.

Salvation (ft. Mr Gee)

By incorporating a wide range of voices including MCs, poets, historical speakers and singers into their music, Fold aim to amplify humanitarian perspectives and critical reflections on today’s world. Through doing so they also hope to help keep spaces open for speaking freely and truthfully. Their sound is similarly wide-ranging, from jazz-funk through Brazilian, psyche, hip-hop and downtempo.

Starting in 2012 they’ve managed to cultivate a decent reputation in the underground British music scene. Their music is played on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X, Amazing Radio and stations across the world. Indie Shuffle are big fans and they’ve had features in The Times, The Guardian and The NME. They’ve played shows all over the UK including a live session for Lauren Laverne on BBC 6 Music.

Fold believe that the answers to a sustainable future lie in prioritising the value of life over profits in all decisions. They believe that the success of our species has not been driven by ‘survival of the fittest’ but instead by ‘survival of the most cooperative.’ Our ability to act cooperatively to our mutual benefit, facilitated by our loving natures, is the true foundation of society. These beliefs, are what they bring to every record and every performance.
