Dear white supremacists, allow me to drop some truth bombs in your general direction. Let's start with your paranoid, adolescent fear of being replaced. Guess what? We will all be replaced. That is the nature of life and although that is one of the things that makes you terrified, hating and killing other people will not change that uncomfortable fact. Your notion of racial purity is a nonsense. No one on the face of this planet is 'racially pure white' and if you don't believe me go and get yourself a DNA test. Everyone has mixed genetic make up and that is a good thing. Ask a geneticist. Humans have been migrating, falling in love and mixing since the dawn of civilization and that will never stop or be undone. Love is more powerful than hate whether you like it or not. Your desperate need to define yourself in your most basic defining feature is, well, pretty fucking basic and shows that you have very little else of character with which to define yourself. The colour of your skin is pure blind chance. You achieved nothing to be born where you were. Perhaps you find it more palatable to define yourself as 'white' as opposed to 'shouty, whiny, insecure, terrified of your own irrelevence, paranoid, ignorant, scared of rejection, embittered, hateful.... ' but that is how many of us in the civilized world see you. Your extremism is certainly not morally superior to any other form of extremism or terrorism. If you feel isolated, afraid, disenfranchised, poor, put upon, lost, rejected that is not the fault of Muslims or POC, women, homosexuals, transgenders...... that is a failure of the system. That is what you should be rallying against, not other people struggling in the same ways that you are who happen to have been born into a different colour skin and who deal with this terrifying rollercoaster in a way that is different to yours.

Which breaks first? Your mind? Your speakers? Or your will to live? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csCJOoO5rT4

Here's a thing, It’s not an album, it’s a collection of some of the 200 or so demos and sketches I’ve recorded in the last couple of years. It’s badly recorded and clumsy but it’s spontaneous. Mainly improvised ideas that might bring some warmth to your cold winter days. It’s also not mastered or anything, it is what it is. It’s free but you can also pay for it if you feel like helping out a struggling underground artist. There will be a proper album if all goes to plan late 2019. https://mattelliott.bandcamp.com/album/songs-of-resignation

Over 7 hours of various DJ mixtapes I've made over the years on mp3 for the first 99 people to download or 6 days whichever comes first. https://we.tl/t-PyCnpfOcTh :)

Visionary genius Virgil Pink strikes again. Wonderful acting as always. I don't know how he does it, I don't want to know how he does it but I'm so glad he does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJWEllWT_lA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-RolvfL1k4
