Talking about the politics of 1980s fanzines: Jamming! podcast
I was delighted to have a chat with some old muckers for the Jamming! podcast, and the episode is now available for your listening pleasure. It also features my poem 'Lighting, Rigged' about being sexually assaulted as a teenager at a gig.
Effluenza
Our public sewage industry
was sold to private bidders
Who don't dispose of putrid waste
but dump it in the rivers

and flush it down the loo
For building up the affluent
builds effluence up too
The Tories' excremental sale
saw treatment work neglected
As income goes to bonuses
so beaches are infected

Be streetwise, girls, be streetwise
and you won't get false-arrested

and you won't be false-arrested
