The Computer People Communicaters (CPC) – "Talking And Scratching (For The People)" -(Electric Land Records – EL 1007) 1983





DON'T MENTION THE WAR!.....I mentioned it about a thousand times but I think I got away with it!?)

Back in the good olde bad olde days ,like last week, America used to be a luminous toothed smiley bunch of friendly fun-lovin'liberal fans of freedom.Two Hundred and Fifty years of independence from the Motherland (Great Britain)later ,The failure to make America Great Again has bred a few million racially motivated Religious Nationalists,determined to empty their continent of anyone not wearing the national costume of Baseball Cap, plaid shirt,and fat over-hanging guts to hide the disintegrating waistline of their Jeans.
They used to make music just like "Talking and Scratching" back then, when brown people were welcome to fill any vacancy that was available on the Job market to lay the foundations of an Economy a nation could be built on. Instead of that,the USA are roundly hated worldwide.
This fine bastion of Democracy then proceeded to somehow elect the most inept, stoopid piece of shit that ever stalked the steps of the Capitol.....and thats saying something.
This FIFA peace medal winner and Rapist, then decided that a War backing up its equally genocidal  allies, the lovely Israel, would be a great Idea to solve all its problems.Especially when it comes to some million sheets of paper containing details implicating a certain President who literally shits his pants regularly,for real,in Human trafficking and child sex-abuse among other misdemeanors.
Along with its Rap-ist chums like P-Diddy,who sits in jail waiting for a friend to join him.....its coming soon.Even its own Supreme court has announced he has no immunity from prosecution whilst still in office. This guy is in Office!!!!?????
So if you wanna stay out of the new North American gulags,and listen to this fine early example of scratching...then follow the instructions below:
And lastly play these early Hip-Hop classics to remind oneself there was a time when people ❤ America. Now I have a Tea mug with USA=SHIT written on it.
...and don't forget....

DON'T MENTION THE EPSTEIN FILES.....I mentioned them once,but I think they could get away with it!....

...I Think I just heard ICE banging on my door demanding to check my internet history....i'll see you in prison,or Hell...which ever comes first.

Tracklist:


A  Talking And Scratching (For The People) (Vocal)4:38
B  Talking And Scratching (For The People) (Instrumental) 4:25

This is just getting better and better, your writing I mean, I loved the Fawlty Towers clip, thank for that :) Interesting times, those, I was listening to a lot of the German stuff back then, Palais Schaumburg etc., Executive Slacks, Thirlwell (Foetus) etc. and Africa Bambaataa was listening to that stuff as well.... First record that made me go out and look for it that was really hip hop related was Big Stick's Crack Attack.... (and I still have that album) The stuff you're posting now, most of it all went right by me (although not Just Ice, I had his albums along with the Schoolly D albums)... 1982... Kinda surprised by that.... Oh and Grandmaster Flash, I had that one too back then (before It Takes A Nation when I got really into it) and I still think that The Message is THE unsurpassed hip hop song :)

For a supposedly Christian nation America has become a real shit-pile with a rot & stink that would nail the radical Jesus up again if he came back today preaching his Beatitudes.

We’ve a Reality TV President who has a mugshot & sells it along with his version of the Bible while the pious GOP idiots like Graham, Cruz, etc. praise & support him.

Ever sit & truly listen to Trump babble on & on as he strokes his own ego? Lies! Gibberish! His mental illness on display each day as he & his cronies suck dry & destroy America.

Now the foot spurs draft dodger is leading the world into WWIII

March 28th is the next “No King’s Day” across nation.

Peaceful dissent is NOT “domestic terrorism” no matter what MAGA mouthpieces spew.

Impeach this traitor president. Lock him & his cronies up. They’ve done enough damage & ruined enough lives.

Thank you Henk for saying my writing is improving,i'm trying.
I was playing that Grandmaster Flash LP the other night and i had to take a double take at the label to see if this really was GF + furious 5......great stuff.....may post it but its a bit too popular and well known.....good cover though,they look great. Yeah "The Message",as played on the John Peel Show by a guest, was my first encounter with proper Hip Hop,and very Electro it was too.
And The Big Stick is on this blog somewhere.....love that track "Drag Racing" ..."In the Summer I put on my Toob Top and Eddie takes me to the drag strip"....they don't write lyrics like that any more.....turns out that single was in John Peels special Box of fav singles...sorry to mention Peel twice, a pedo but one that loomed large in the young Zchivago's musical development.
I',m gonna be going down the other DIy club culture route,chicago tech and then Jungle etc....should be fun,haven't listened to that shit for years.
Yeah Fawlty Towers, sounds more cutting edge now than it did then.....The Germans.....still amuses,exposing this awkwardness that all Brits are plagued with...earlier in that episode, The Major drops the N-bomb.which would be removed today as racist, and everyone involved banned and sacked. This has killed comedy i'm sad to announce.

Hasn't Trump been impeached twice before and nothing fucking happened?
Donald J. would call Jesus a Nasty person after the son of the real imaginary God slagged him off for his very unchristian behavior.......he going to Hell in a handcart Boy, where Satan will cut his little mushroom dick off with a rusty blade very 10 earth minutes for eternity.
I'd go on the No Kings march, but my internet presence would not pass the ICE test and i'be deported instantly,via a detention center of course....the land of the Free.....very sad.

I remember listening to Peel on a radio, with very bad reception :) The bits where The Major talks about the Wogs and the Niggers was actually removed from, I think, the dvd's, put out by the BBC, crazy because the whole point was showing how idiotic racism is, but that type of humor is over most peoples heads now I suppose... I know good ol' John Cleese had quiet a fit over it....
I know it's awfully cliché to say it, but damn, I do miss the 70's and the 80's, not just because I was young and insanely handsome with a God-body (and teeth) but the wokeness and all that, the walking on eggs....shit....I guess even Are You Being Served would be too much nowadays.....
I'm watching and following the whole clown show, from my little mountain village outside Bandung where nothing much ever changes, or at least I'm trying to because I really don't know what's real and what's not real anymore... Seems our President now wants to go to Iran and broker a peace deal which is.... funny.... Not only does he have more blood on his hands than you can imagine, he's in business with the sons of the Orange Buffoon himself :) I like Brendon O'Connell :) My little dirty secret, His Rats In The Ranks series (on youtube I think) is very, very good, as is the Kay Griggs interview.... My Two Cents....
