[ new album by Filastine - on tour - ] “Just did a dense tour in France, opening for Leila a few times. They were early concerts, and all with Amelie joining me on cello… The problem is that now that I’m spoiled by having a great string player guest on a number of tracks it’s hard to feel as good about the gigs without her. This means I need higher pay (I actually LOST money on these recent gigs), this means the ticket price goes up, this means that quickly I could find myself only playing to stiff rich people who politely applaud after each track.

[ art by Draenia, Mx ] Transmediale: Up the Deep North Without a Paddle – XLt analysis Part 2 Aside from the disturbing lack of direction and/or provocation of where to actually go BEFORE the “Deep North” fully plunders all the common ground beneath us and sows its seeds of irreversible chaos/new order, there were incredible insights to be gained at this year’s Transmediale into the vicious loops that continue navigating us into the uninhabitable. As one of the presenters Madina Tlostanova wrote back to us the other day, “Theory nowadays lags a bit behind real life”.

From our current angle, it’s looking like “09″ is the year to fully upgrade to a more sustainable co-existence of desires, and perhaps that means cutting out for new frontiers while holding dearly to all our nourishing wells and passions!

Whenever diplomacy and strategy in a conflict is determined by criminals you can easily predict more war and terror. Because their agenda is ultimately tied to an almost inescapable linearity of their previous and uncorrected actions, they have devised a tragic box of progressive errors for themselves and the people around them. Their actions are usually a very limited road map: to save their own ass attain more power (in order to save their own ass) sow more chaos ( because it will distract the people around you from achieving peace and thus fully grasping the truths) attain more power ( because once you have destroyed your own humanity, there is little logic or recourse to anything else).
