- "When the truth is replaced by silence," the Soviet dissident Yevgeny Yevtushenko said, "the silence is a lie." It may appear the silence is broken on Gaza. The cocoons of murdered children, wrapped in green, together with boxes containing their dismembered parents and the cries of grief and rage of everyone in that death camp by the sea, can be viewed on al-Jazeera and YouTube, even glimpsed on the BBC. But Russia's incorrigible poet was not referring to the ephemeral we call news; he was asking why those who knew the why never spoke it and so denied it. Among the Anglo-American intelligentsia, this is especially striking. It is they who hold the keys to the great storehouses of knowledge: the historiographies and archives that lead us to the why.

- While in Athens Airport on Monday (05..01..09), Dek became ill and subsequently suffer from a heart attack brought on by a damaged artery and was rushed to hospital. After tests he had to have an operation yesterday (06..01..09) and is responding well, he's got colour in his cheeks and is looking a lot better. We don't know as yet when he will be recovered enough to come home, it's just one step at a time, so for now he's just got to take it easy…thanks to the hospital staff, the Athens punks and all of you who have sent messages of good will, we would collectively like to take this opportunity to thank you all … it means a lot.
We will keep you posted on any further developments.

SATURDAY 10 JANUARY
FOX & FIRKIN
LEWISHAM, LONDON (see attached flyer)
A great venue and always a good time had by all!
Cheers
As you know, the big news is this:
Bearded is in stores 29 January
That includes independent record stores, WHSmiths, Borders and newsagents across the UK – over 1000 stores in all… so buy it.
On a related note, as you know, Bearded is printed on very special, 100% recycled paper and costs a fortune to print up. As a result, this time around we are going to have an extremely limited number of freebies to dish out which will go to advertisers (still available by the way) and Beardaid supporters. So to guarantee your copy (the last four have disappeared within a day or so), you’ll need to get your friends to advertise (from £70) or join Beardaid for just £2 a month (www.beardaid.co.uk).
Those Beardaid folks will also get free entry to our relaunch party – also on 29 January – at The Macbeth in Shoreditch (door price £5), where the ridiculously talented line-up of Allez Allez, Ratface, Beestung Lips and Ice, Sea Dead People will be entertaining. Flyer and poster art attached if you wish to spread the word.
And on that, please take with you mine and Bearded’s very best wishes for 2009, I’m certain it is going to be a great year – for all of us.
Gareth
PS: Always up for any help, advice or whatnot anyone has – especially regarding publicity for the mag around launch.
