We were raided by the Israeli army and settlers last night. Here is what happened.

Mason, Robby and I went to record some songs between xmas and new year day. Fun times, lots of deer and vari-mu compression and very little sleep. That BG-2 on the edge of the frame of the last pic is prob one of my fav compressors of all time.
Matt was really nice to invite us back on Working Class Audio— it’s always great shooting the shit with him in almost any context. Additionally, everyone can marvel at his editing skills making us sound like coherent conversationalists. Listen if you wanna. Link in bio if I remember or just go to @working_class_audio .
Repost @hiddenpalestine : In this 1998 interview, Professor Edward Said talks about the context within which his book “Orientalism” was conceived, its main themes and how its original thesis relates to the contemporary understanding of “the Orient.”
Said argues that the Western (especially American) understanding of the Middle East as a place full of villains and terrorists ruled by Islamic fundamentalism produces a deeply distorted image of the diversity and complexity of millions of Arab peoples, which is only compounded by the existence of Israel, a self-declared Western State that presents itself as a victim defending itself against a villainous Arab world.
Repost @hiddenpalestine : Professor Jason Hickel ties the US and Israel’s brutal response to the Palestinian liberation struggle to the global economic system’s need for self preservation and maintenance of the Global North’s dominance over the South’s labour, land and energy resources.
