I have had a lovely time in Canada, but I’m really looking forward to being home with my sexy ass comrades, making sick noise, and crushing the fucking capitalist fascist machine!

But I’ll be back soon little buddy.

I stopped trying to climb the ladder in my industry a long time ago when I realised that all managers are essentially class traitors.

Does anyone who follows me play Magic? Surely more noise and synth nerds out there are into this cardboard too…?!?

Oh hey.
Putting final touches on a new record. This one’s been in the works for too long. Today it’s one step closer to finished.
Very excited to share more of my joyous side with the world.
Keep fighting the power and loving each other!

There are literally cunts out here saying shit like β€œfood/water/housing isn’t a basic human right”.
Buddy you better be ready to die on that hill, because I’m fucking ready to fight to that death that they are!

Today I watched a quick live clip of Little River Band’s Playing To Win.
Technology has made musicians lazy as fuck, eh?

Not treaty, no land rights, just occupation, colonisation, excuses, and murder.
Colonial violence affects us all.
No peace on stolen land.

Hamas is not a terrorist organisation, but the Australian government is. Hamas is a democratically elected political force fighting to free their people from occupation. The Australian government is an occupying force that has taken land, murdered indigenous folk, and continues to do both…

I wish I had more to offer than my feelings.

So is WW3. Get your head in the game homie.

As an artist and a curator/event organiser, I often feel the β€œgatekeeper” vibes creep in to what I do.
I will say straight up, if you hit me up for a gig and a basic search of your name/artist profile doesn’t instantly show me that you are actively anti-Zionist, I don’t have time for your music.

And I’m in the final stages of my next record, a very different beast but I’m super excited to share it, been a big process!

Everyday, fight the power spread the love!

If it walks like a Nazi, and talks like a Nazi, bash it like it’s as fucking Nazi!

Vicpol are thugs who stand alongside/protect TERFs and Nazis. Bullies and bullshit. Fuck them all.

I’m at the in-laws house and 7 news is on the Tele.
It is some horrendous, obnoxious bullshit. I haven’t seen network tv in so long. How do people live with this slop? No wonder the world is fucked.

Fix Your Hearts Or Die!, by Justin Ashworth 1 track album

Fix Your Hearts Or Die!
I made this music at the start of the year as a tribute to David Lynch for the show NOISEUARY.

I'll be donating any money from sales to mutual aid/direct action campaigns to support trans folks. It's not much but it's something.

Just read about the Wesley Anne. Fuck those guys. Their apology/retraction reads like the most corporate BS ever.
Northcote kinda sucks eh.

A lot of artists are gutless. They'll make a stand on something if they can finagle some kind of self promotion for their action, but otherwise sit back and quietly participate in their own exploitation.
I am seeing a lot of this right now. It's disappointing.

Artists, especially musicians in my community. Boycott shows/opportunities offered by the NGV and associated zioinst institutions.
Tell your friends!
You can be nice about it, but…
We have to enforce the picket line! That means calling a scab a scab when they perform for Zionist institutions.

This is just a friendly reminder that if someone mentions Oct 7 or β€œfree the hostages”, it’s your duty as a real human being to punch that person.

This isn’t an exhaustive list. It’s an example of the many things we in local music scenes need to start doing. Ground swell is the only thing we have to make change.

It means cutting off your music mates who take those gigs, and calling out people who go, or who buy records by those artists.
Sorry, but if we keep acting like it doesn’t matter, then nothing ever will!
