C KRIT - Negative Approach Lyrics (Tetryon Tapes)

Mulroney inspired set (Stephen)
Brian passed away on Leap Day. All the eulogizing is making me think he was a great guy when he wasn’t. I strongly recommend the book “On the Take” by Stevie Cameron. The book documents crime corruption and greed in government during the Mulroney Years. He visited York University and the students pelted him with dried pasta chanting “We’re Tired, We’re Boney, We’re eating macaroni”. He sold us out to the Americans and screwed this country over. Here are some songs to remind us of that side starting out with 
RANDOM KILLING - Take our flag (Aardvark)

Number Stations 
A while back when the G-MEN were in to do a studio 3 session Mopa started talking to me about Number Stations which occupy a frequency on the short wave band and are usually run by governments as a way of communicating code to agents in the field. But the mics weren't recording because this was one of those after interview conversations. But I never forgot about them. So a few weeks ago when I was catching up with Mopa Dean about Armed and Hammered, I had him explain to me what number stations are. Here's a primer on that subject.
