FUN-DA-MENTALIST TERRORISM
In a "come and get me, coppers" attempt at creating a buzz, Aki from Fun-Da-Mental has recorded an album about suicide bombers and says he'd be happy to go to prison.
All Is War (The Benefits of G-Had) isn't, of course, really glorifying terrorism but jumpy old Ian Blair sent 250 police into a house where chemical vests really weren't being made, so that's not enough to keep him safe. A snatch of the lyrics:
I'm strapped-up 'cross my chest/
bomb belt attached/
deeply satisfied with the pain I hatched/
electrodes connected to a gas cooker lighter.
There is, of course, a difference between understanding the motivation of suicide bombers and agreeing with them - which is why Cherie Booth wasn't glorifying anything that time.
The record company, Nation (part of Beggars Banquet) must be behind them, right?
Not entirely:
Martin Mills and Andrew Heath, two "silent" directors of Fun-Da-Mental's label Nation Records, have threatened to quit their posts if the album comes out.

There was a hilarious inteview with the pompous twat in todays Grauniad. This has got 'publicity stunt' written all over it.
there is no doubt the music will be shit. it won't be a 'fight the power' will it? unless the guy has turned into a musical genius over nite
I also read the Guardian interview, I didn't realise he used to drum in Southern Death Cult. Is there any way Ian Astbury could be dragged into this "controversy" perhaps with him dressed up as a red indian or something?
