This is an excellent opportunity to join forces to vocally oppose the Bush administration's policies.

100,000 ANTENNAS - FREE RADIO MANIFESTATION

JUNE 14 - AMSTERDAM

http://www.vrijeradio.nl



The Dutch government's recently implemented Zerobase Radio

Frequency Policy is designed to control and regulate free

use of the ether by commercial radio stations. On May 23

this year most available space on the Dutch airwaves was

auctioned off to the highest bidder. It should come as no

surprise to anyone that as a result of this auction it has

become clear that for the next eight years only the

biggest, most commercially and mainstream oriented

stations will be able to exploit the remaining Dutch

frequencies. The government's claim to preserve diversity

in the new airwave distribution has proven to be a fraud.

The provisional programme is now available for



CongressCATH 2003:

Warp:Woof Aurality/Musicality/Textuality

The second CongressCATH, organised by the AHRB Centre for Cultural

Analysis, Theory and History puts into play new possibilities for

thinking about sound, music, noise and listening, about the structure of

audition, and about the listening, responding subject. This conference

will consider new music theories, new musical objects, and the new

horizons opened by thinking through them.

Friends in the New York City area,


Below you'll find a link to a new website newswire, utilizing PostNuke / PhP scripting technology. This newswire is linked to the anarco-nyc.net website resource.


http://www.anarco-nyc.net/weblog/index.php


The purpose of the newswire is to foment and encourage more communications amoung anarchists and anti-authoritarians in the NYC and surrounding region. You'll see several categories of "topics" devoted to this purpose alone. For instance, categories devoted to posting announcements about workshops, forums, study groups, and other events.

Proceeds from the door will benefit the production of a documentary by Pouca Films.




The documentary will be filmed over the summer and will investigate the impact of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict on the Palestinian emergency medical system, following the emergency medical staff and their aging and battered ambulances as they navigate through roadblocks, checkpoints, military searches and gunfire in order to transport the ill, pregnant or injured to the poorly equipped hospitals of the West Bank.

A Call to Join and Contribute to the Establishment of a
Video-Sharing Syndicate/Network

Project Description:

For some time now the idea of utilising peer2peer
structures to assemble a user-built distribution
platform has been circulating. Recently, in the run-up
to the G8 meeting in Evian, a concrete proposal has
been made to establish a system for the sharing of
video. Long-term we believe that we can assemble a
sustainable and scalable platform for audio-visual
materials of a critical and independent nature. This
is an appeal to groups/individuals to get involved, dedicate some
resources, support and expand the project generally.

Works to be distributed over the system will vary from
somewhat edited footage suitable for use as a stock
archive to finished documentaries/films. Each file
will be accompanied by metadata in an xml .info file
and produced as an searchable RSS feed for people to
integrate into their own sites and published on its
own website (where there will also be a manifesto,
how-to's. contact info for participating groups etc.)
Amongst the metadata fields will be a specification
for the nature of the license under which the
materials may be used (e.g. Creative Commons
share-alike)

Academic Study of Magic (JSM), a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed print

http://www.sasm.co.uk/chklist.html for style and content details. In light

of the breadth of submissions we received for Issue 1, we welcome early,

BRIEF correspondence with authors to discuss intended articles and their

potential suitability for our journal- the above links also give guidelines

for subject areas, including some areas that we do not cover, so please

consult these first.



Submissions should be sent electronically to Dave Evans at

including your name and brief title in the file name (for example

Negativity and Freedom:

Philosophic Alternatives to Capitalism, War and Terror

The Bush Administration's war against Iraq not only exposed the inhumanity of war, but also the inhumanity of the entire social, political and economic system upon which the world is based. Can growing opposition to the U.S. drive for permanent war issue a new challenge to capitalism-imperialism? What kind of social relations represent an alternative to this system? What concepts of liberation can help us develop an expansive vision of a different world?
