LMFAO the sissy of fremont st ambush is top shelf

In this extended Trip, Keir Milburn, Nadia Idle and Jeremy Gilbert wrestle with the idea of “the long '90s”: a set of cultural, political and affective assumptions that have outlasted the 20th century, and from which a certain cohort of today's politicians, commentators, columnists cannot seem to escape.

With music from Massive Attack, Stereolab and Kula Shaker, the gang discuss to what extent the long '90s were shaped by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and the Chinese Communist Party, how "new laddism" emerged as a riposte to cultural pluralism, and what people really meant when they declared "the end of history". Finally, they agree to disagree on the musical and social value of Britpop.

Music: Roni Size - 'Brown Paper Bag' / M-Beat ft. General Levy - 'Incredible' / Kula Shaker - '303' / Spice Girls - 'Wannabe' / Stereolab - 'Ping Pong' / Asian Dub Foundation - 'Fortress Europe'

Books and articles: Eric Hobsbawm - The Age of Extremes: The Short Twentieth Century, 1914–1991 / Gavin Mueller - 'Stereolab's Revolutionary Horizon' / Francis Fukuyama - The End of History and the Last Man

#ACFM Trip 16: The Long '90s

In this episode, Ryan and Todd discuss the philosophical divide between Martin Heidegger and Hegel, taking as their starting point Heidegger's conception of Dasein. They explore the relationship between Dasein and subjectivity, as well as the differing relationships to modernity that each philosopher has. The episode also touches on the theoretical tendencies for Heidegger's embrace of Nazism.

Has democracy broken down? Is it even an idea worth fixing? Trip 22 is a three-horse race as Nadia Idle, Jeremy Gilbert and Keir Milburn consider the anti-democratic shifts happening across the political spectrum and ask what it really means to be ruled by the people.

The gang discuss whether democracy is necessary to tackle climate breakdown, how democratic relationships can spawn creativity and joy, and what happens when left politics abandons mass movements – as well as selecting some suitably egalitarian music from Crass, Shonen Knife, the Scratch Orchestra and more.

Music: Crass - 'Punk is Dead' (Use Knife Remix) / Cornelius Cardew & the Scratch Orchestra - 'The Great Learning' / Shonen Knife - 'Riding on the Rocket' / Persimfans Orchestra - Beethoven's 9th Symphony / Weather Report - 'Milky Way'

Books & articles: Robert D. Putnam - Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community / Andreas Malm - How to Blow Up a Pipeline / Geoff Mann and Joel Wainwright - Climate Leviathan: A Political Theory of Our Planetary Future / Paul Hirst - Associative Democracy / Francesca Polletta - Freedom is an Endless Meeting / Sean Smith - Crass Goes Disco

#ACFM Trip 22: Democracy

Arun Kudnani joins PTO to talk about his article, The Racial Constitution of Neoliberalism which appeared in the Race & Class journal. We talked about how neoliberalism has generated novel forms of racism that cannot be understood simply as residual phenomena from the pre-neoliberal era, why it was that the key neoliberal thinkers were as fixated on defeating leftist movements in the global south during the Cold War as they were on defeating the European and American Labour movements, and finally we talked about whether it is possible to imagine a form of capitalism that is able to dispense with racialisation.

We don't get enough of it. We take drugs all day to fend it off. We'll do it when we're dead. And it's our last line of defence against 24/7 capitalism.

Sleep, the main course in life's feast! The ACFM crew rouse themselves from slumber to wokeness in this month's Trip, exploring the political and cultural aspects of shut-eye. How has a biological necessity been manipulated by everything from mechanical clocks, electric lighting, screen addiction and the insatiable needs of capitalism?

Nadia Idle lives up to her name and argues we should all be spending more time in bed, Keir Milburn worries about an insomniac culture obsessed with productivity, and – despite his sideline as a party organiser and DJ - Jeremy Gilbert rails against the culture of all-night dancing. Plus, music from Faithless, The Fall and The Beatles.

An ever-expanding playlist of all the music discussed on the show can be found on Spotify.

Music: The Beatles - I'm Only Sleeping / Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night / John Coltrane - Russian Lullaby / Alex De Grassi - Luther's Lullaby / Faithless - Insomnia / The Beatles - I'm So Tired / Flowered Up - Weekender / The Fall - Rowche Rumble

Books & articles: E. P. Thompson - Time, Work-Discipline and Industrial Capitalism / Paul Lafargue – The Right to Be Lazy / Jonathan Crary - 24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep

ACFM Trip 29: Sleep

Hil Aked joins PTO to talk about their new book, Friends of Israel: The Backlash Against Palestine Solidarity, the first book length treatment of the pro-Israel lobby in Britain.

We talked about the strategies that Israel and pro-Israel organisations in Britain have adopted to deflect criticism of the ongoing occupation and the dispossession of the Palestinian people, and their efforts to undermine the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign. Hil explained why they characterise contemporary Zionism as a "social movement from above" and how apartheid-era South Africa was a forerunner for some of the public relations techniques adopted by Israel and its outriders.

We also talked about John Mearsheimer and Steven Walt's 2007 book The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign policy and where Hil's analysis differs from theirs. We also discussed the pitfalls of writing on this topic at a time of increasing anti-semitism. And finally, we talked about why parliamentary support for Israel was once stronger within the Labour party than the Conservatives, and what the role of the Labour and Conservative friends of Israel groups is today.
