<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h2><em>Heaven</em>, Under The Arches, London, November 18, 2009&#8230;</h2>
<p><a href="http://heatherlouisesteele.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/65dos1-pola.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-442" title="65dos1-pola" src="http://heatherlouisesteele.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/65dos1-pola.jpg?w=842" alt="" width="280" height="339" /></a>On first impressions<a title="heaven" href="http://www.heaven-live.co.uk/" target="_blank"> <em>Heaven</em></a> seemed an unlikely venue for instrumental post/math rockers <a title="65" href="http://www.65daysofstatic.com/" target="_blank"><em>65daysofstatic</em></a>. Host to legendary night <a title="gay" href="http://www.heavennightclub-london.com/" target="_blank">G.A.Y.</a> and typically showcasing artists such as <a title="kylie" href="http://www.kylie.com/home" target="_blank"><em>Kylie Minogue</em></a> and <a title="girls" href="http://www.girlsaloud.co.uk/noflash.php" target="_blank"><em>Girls Aloud</em></a>, the venue- emblazoned with posters advertising <a title="porn idol" href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?sid=0969c04a34ac65581d0c2f6c434f1f5f&#38;gid=5622524132&#38;ref=search" target="_blank"><em>Porn Idol</em></a> and the next week&#8217;s latest X-Factor reject<em>- </em>seemed a mile away from <em>65dos</em>&#8217;s math rock offerings&#8230;</p>
<p>Yet once inside <em>Heaven</em> these initial thoughts were forgotten. Apart from the odd mosaic male torso that adorned the walls here and there, the cool underground vibe of the venue took over and musings of <em>Heaven</em>&#8217;s usual musical fare were soon discarded. Completely constructed of red brick, and residing underneath Charing Cross Station, the club&#8217;s windowless railway arches and hidden coves made the perfect setting for<em> 65dos</em>&#8217;s instrumental shenanigans.</p>
<p>A bit of histoire for those of you unfamiliar with the band&#8230; <em>65daysofstatic</em>, also known as<em> 65dos, 65days</em> or the perfectly simple <em>65</em>, formed in Sheffield in 2001. The band, who were originally a three-piece, is made up of Joe Shrewsbury (guitar), Paul Wolinski (guitar &#38; programming), Rob Jones (drums) and Simon Wright (bass). Since 2004 the band have released three full-length albums, <em>The Fall of Math </em>(2004), <em>One Time for All Time </em>(2005), and <em>The Destruction of Small Ideas</em> (2007). They have also released the EPs <em>Stumble.Stop.Repeat (</em>2003), <em>Hole</em> (2005) and <em>The Distant And Mechanised Glow Of European Dance Parties </em>(2008) and released a live album in 2008 entitled <em>Escape From New York</em>. Their music is interspersed with heavy, progressive guitars, and mixed with drums, samplers, computer glitches, keyboards and the occasional voiceover. According to legend <em>65dos</em>&#8217;s name originates from the band&#8217;s desire to record a soundtrack for John Carpenter&#8217;s unreleased fictional film <em>Stealth Bomber</em>, which is said to have been produced over 65 days of static. Other rumours say that the band named themselves after a 1950s CIA coup d’etat in Guatemala who claimed that 65 days was all that was needed to overthrow a country. Whether you want to believe that is up to you&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_444" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 190px"><a href="http://heatherlouisesteele.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/heaven_1_thumb.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-444" title="Heaven_1_Thumb" src="http://heatherlouisesteele.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/heaven_1_thumb.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="136" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Heaven, Under The Arches.</p></div>
<p>Having to get a six o&#8217; clock train out of Cardiff, then getting lost in the labyrinth that it Charing Cross Underground meant that I only arrived at <em>Heaven</em> at nine&#8230; and wandered in just as support act <a title="ttt" href="http://www.myspace.com/threetrappedtigers" target="_blank"><em>Three Trapped Tigers</em></a> were exiting the stage. I also missed this band at <a title="swn" href="http://swnfest.co.uk/site/" target="_blank">(Sŵn)</a>, so I was rather gutted, but not for long as the rather awesome DJ filled the time with his <a title="bloc" href="http://www.blocparty.com/" target="_blank"><em>Bloc Party</em></a> meets <a title="tele" href="http://www.myspace.com/telepathe" target="_blank"><em>Telepathe</em></a> remixes.</p>
<p><em>65dos</em> are one of those bands you have to see live to appreciate the full extent of their musical capability. Although whacking up the volume of <em>The Fall of Math</em> in your bedroom creates some pretty amazing sounds, the<em> 65 </em>live experience is one that cannot be replicated. Starting promptly at 9.15, as promised, meant that their hour and 35 minute set did not overrun, and thus cause me to miss either the last train home, or even worse the end of the gig.</p>
<p><a href="http://heatherlouisesteele.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/65_new_ap-pola.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-446" title="65_new_ap-pola" src="http://heatherlouisesteele.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/65_new_ap-pola.jpg?w=246" alt="" width="198" height="242" /></a>Starting with their first single <em>Retreat! Retreat! 65</em> demonstrated from the onset that their unique instrumental sound can be both brutal and beautiful. Although there are neither vocals nor lyrics, these usual attributes are rendered unnecessary when <em>65dos</em> take to the stage. From the barrage of drum beats and guitar shreds, the set took a change of pace with the first minute and a half of the next song, <em>Drove Through Ghosts To Get Here</em>. Beginning with the well-known dulcet keyboard melodies, before descending into the drum and bass-like ending of the song proved a huge crowd pleaser.</p>
<p>Despite not playing <em>Betraying Chino</em>, one of my favourite<em> 65 </em>tracks, the band seamlessly blended old favourites, such as <em>The Fall Of Math, Fix The Sky A Little </em>and <em>When We Were Younger And Better</em> with new, yet unnamed material, which Joe explained was taken from their as-yet untitled forthcoming album. Whether playing soft and melodic keyboard solos, or huge<em> Prodigy</em>-esque dance numbers, such as <em>65 Doesn&#8217;t Understand You</em>, the band had the crowd captivated. It was amazing to watch the audience&#8217;s reactions; one minute they collectively stood still in admiration, the next they were going crazy and chanting &#8216;65&#8242; with clamour.</p>
<p>Despite the lack of lyrics, Joe had no trouble talking to the masses in between instrument changes. In one particular lull, when Paul had to run off stage to fix a technical issue, Joe began rambling on, and even said &#8220;Looks like heaven really is a place on earth&#8230;&#8221; before erupting with laughter and continuing his penchant for wild dancing.</p>
<p><a href="http://heatherlouisesteele.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/65.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-448" title="65" src="http://heatherlouisesteele.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/65.jpg?w=246" alt="" width="200" height="244" /></a>Yet jokes and laughter aside, the moment the whole crowd had been anticipating arrived when <em>65dos</em> returned on stage for their final song of the night. Prolonging the beautiful, yet haunting keyboard introduction to <em>Radio Protector </em>for almost four minutes was anything but tedious, and kept the crowd on edge waiting and craving the moment when the guitars and drums kicked in for what was certainly the best moment of the night. Gradually turning up the volume, then slowly adding more instruments, <em>65dos</em> had the crowd in the palm of their hand as they finally reached the song&#8217;s powerful climax of all four instruments merging together. The song&#8217;s break down echoed the same sense of shared euphoria that was visible in the room, and as the band left the stage to huge ovation and thunderous chants of &#8216;65&#8242; from the whole crowd, the enormity of the <em>65dos</em> experience hit me. The fact that there was only a one-song encore did not matter, as I don&#8217;t think that<em> 65daysofstatic</em> could have ended the gig any better way. If only I could have stayed to savour the moment instead of having to make a dash for the Bakerloo line&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Another computer-unrelated post.</p>
<p>The reason I&#8217;ve been in Manchester for the past week or so, is for my love of live music.  You don&#8217;t really get that in the North of Devon as such, and if you do, then it&#8217;s usually some form of low-key entertainment &#8211; possibly good, but no reason to travel down the road for (bearing in mind the road is a good 2km or so).</p>
<p>So I&#8217;ve already been to see Faithless at the Warehouse Project last weekend (rather disappointing I admit, but I got tickets for free), and a small band from Sheffield by the name of 65DaysOfStatic (absolutely amazing).</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">But the main act was tonight, and he&#8217;s a Japanese pianist, by the name of Ryuichi Sakamoto. Seeing him at the Bridgewater Hall is one day I will always remember.  The acoustics were brilliant, and the stage decorated with a large projection screen providing visual entertainment, is just a highlight of many.  As for Sakamoto himself, he was flawless.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:left;">If you don&#8217;t understand the pure beauty of the this track, then I pity you, I do.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>i got tickets for AB &#38; CP! January is going to be the best month ever.</p>
<p><strong>i&#8217;m definitely buying tickets to 65DOS because i love them too much</strong></p>
<p>now i&#8217;ve got to find my resolve on whether to go for Muse or The Killers or both. i&#8217;m personally rooting for Muse because <em>The Resistance</em> is good while The Killers.. well.. Haha, who knows right. or i&#8217;ll probably just go for 65dos and skip muse + the killers.</p>

<p><em>Ho attraversato eserciti di fantasmi. Ho camminato su anime tremanti. Con passo lento, incerto. Poi più veloce, più deciso. Le ho calpestate e alla fine ho provato a volare.</em></p>
<p><em>Per arrivare qui.</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1075" title="In-salutorget-2" src="http://walwian.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/in-salutorget-2.png" alt="In-salutorget-2" width="300" height="97" /></p>
<p>Oggi è una silenziosa giornata di merda, qui a Salutorget.<br />
Una di quelle giornate in cui la gente se ne sta chiusa in casa sperando che non succeda assolutamente nulla, perché sa che, se qualcosa succedesse, potrebbe essere la fine. Nelle giornate fetenti come questa, ci sono un sacco di persone che se ne vanno tra le Fronde. Da quando il Consiglio ha la sua donna, le Fronde sono diventate un luogo lecito e non più segreto. Tra le Fronde c&#8217;è un vasto assortimento di uomini che giocano con le loro <strong>donne immaginarie</strong>, che giocano con i loro <strong>uomini</strong> immaginari, che giocano da <strong>soli</strong>, fabbricandosi occhiaie. C&#8217;è anche un piccione che passeggia simulando, nei passi o zampettii, il suono della pioggia, come le piramidi precolombiane. Gira in tondo, il piccione, ogni giro più veloce, come se volesse raggiungersi e sorpassarsi. I piccioni sono fondamentalmente stupidi. Non me ne vogliano.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/assets/6/6fb478115b2bbc135d18d6b39d34d3839cc04a17_m.gif" alt="" width="300" /><br />
Raccolgo i brividi e li annego in un sorso d&#8217;acqua. Mi alzo e torno indietro. Lontano. A nascondermi. Adesso che le fronde sono così affollate, non mi resta che questo posto, sospeso sopra i crisantemi, alla <strong>periferia degli odori</strong>.<br />
A stare qui si hanno anche dei vantaggi, piccoli, minimi, marginali, ma pur sempre vantaggi. Si vedono le cose. Sì lo so che, a meno che uno non sia cieco, le cose le vede comunque, ma da qui vedi cose in più. Cose diverse e più lontane. Se stai tra le fronde o sui petali dei crisantemi, al massimo spii la pornografia di ciò che hai davanti. Stare lì è come vivere su una tessera di un puzzle. Stai lì, lo vedi, è verde, marrone o bianco, magari bicolore o magari ha una riga nera. Ma il resto?<br />
Potrebbe essere un prato ma tu un prato non lo hai mai visto se non a brandelli e per te un prato è del tutto simile a una foglia, alla maglia dei Boston Celtics e al wasabi, solo meno piccante. Del wasabi. Da lì si vedono solo le tessere e, se escludi i colori, la vita si riduce a essere un monotono film muto e grigio. Poi ci sono i ciac della fabbricazione di occhiaie che ti fanno la sonorizzazione dal vivo. Dal morto sarebbe più difficile, ma qui a Salutorget i morti non sono mai tali. Non si riempiono mai di vermi, sono sempre anime pie (o <strong>anime crostata</strong>, come suggerisce il correttore automatico di Word, perché le parole straniere rendono il testo meno comprensibile) o eroi. Poi nessuno trova mai un morto vero. Qui a Salutorget troviamo solo persone prive di vita (quindi con le gambe attaccate al busto) o esanimi (quindi malvagi demoni senza pietà) o. Cazzo, sono morti. Marciscono. Poi, come se non bastasse, da quando il Consiglio delle terre a Ovest dell’Ovest ci ha dotato di un nostro parallelo virtuale (che è uguale al mondo in cui stiamo e in cui ci fabbrichiamo le occhiaie, solo che è finto) i morti sono diventati ancora meno morti. Continuano a mantenere il loro posto, le loro cose virtuali continuano a crescere, continuano ad avere amici e a parlare con gli altri. Quando uno muore, la prima cosa che tutti, qui a Salutorget, vogliamo fare, è raggiungerlo nel mondo virtuale e parlarci. Come se lo spirito, visto che qui non c’è più, si fosse trasferito dall’altro lato. In fondo, la virtualità, per noi che siamo impressionabili, ha in sé la stessa carica magica dei misteri delle religioni o la forza inconsueta di un miracolo. Per noi, che siamo sempliciotti e ogni tanto teneramente ingenui, quel mondo virtuale, che il Consiglio delle terre a Ovest dell’Ovest ci ha donato (come pagamento per dei servigi prestati dai rubatori), ci convince di una spiritualità che non abbiamo. Ci illude che siano le nostre menti a comunicare, le nostre menti che se ne fregano dei corpi. Ci illude, e a tratti l’illusione è come una morbida carezza, che nel mondo virtuale che viene dalle Terre a Ovest dell’Ovest siano le anime a trovar posto. E che quel posto lo possano tenere per sempre e che nessuno possa mai morire perché finché hai un posto, finché esisti, sei ancora vivo.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/assets/6/a69aa0528fd2ac124c3a44760506b1b148e2b1bf_m.jpg" alt="" width="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Quel mondo ci fucila con proiettili di immortalità che, nell’alleviare il dolore per quell’ultima domanda che sempre poniamo alle facce appese sopra di noi, ci spinge a diventare puri fatti mentali. Cose finte che esistono come sequenze di parole e di immagini. Che non mangiano, che non bevono, che non fanno nulla da questo lato ma che, invece, si industriano per creare un mondo perfetto dall’altro. Perché di là è più semplice, perché di là siamo tutti un po’ dio e parliamo con le anime. Di qua, invece, per sentirci ancora attaccati alla carne che ci incarta le ossa, ci abbandoniamo agli istinti più grevi, ci lasciamo strisciare e non facciamo nulla per evitarlo. La nostra vita perfetta già l’abbiamo, stare qui è solo un incidente di percorso. Poi, qualcosa ci parla da dentro, e la voce assomiglia a quella voce metallica disinteressata, e allora ci tagliamo le dita, ci squartiamo le pance, ci lecchiamo le ferite e l’eros a vicenda. Dimenticando chi siamo, dimenticando cosa siamo. Dimenticando quando e perché. E in fondo, qui a Salutorget, non ci frega più un cazzo di niente.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/assets/6/30768f921dab8c45ee9b83a9899b10bbcdd82482_m.gif" alt="" width="303" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Sono giorni che un pezzo di banana sta a terra poco distante dal campo di crisantemi. Prima bianca poi nera poi sciolta poi marcia poi morta. E no, era morta pure prima. Aveva smesso di esserci utile. Aveva cominciato a servire agli insetti e poi ai batteri e poi. Noi seguiamo la stessa parabola. La differenza è che resistiamo meglio alle intemperie, ci fabbrichiamo <strong>occhiaie waterproof</strong>. Ci mettiamo di più a confonderci con l&#8217;asfalto.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://wp.me/py8sy-hh">Fw&#62;&#62;</a><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/assets/6/b3883fc800c5e37d1ae0e5ad1c2ea76a5b99fce8_m.jpg" alt="" width="300" /><br />
Qui a Salutorget abbiamo una bella aiuola d&#8217;asfalto, vicino al campo a-sporivo &#8211; che è quello in cui senti le urla di dolore della gente che si fa tirare via i denti a sassate e che se lo senti da bambino poi preferisci farti divorare il cranio dalle carie piuttosto che andarci &#8211; e c&#8217;è pure un cartello che intima di non calpestarla. Noi, qui a Salutorget, i cartelli li prendiamo sul serio, perché noi rispettiamo le istituzioni e <strong>patapim patazum</strong>. Dicevo, cioè il cartello diceva, “non calpestare” e tanto siamo ligi che, una volta, uno, Georg il cugino basso di Groeg &#8211; un poco di buono in ogni caso &#8211; ci è morto in mezzo e nessuno lo è andato a raccattare. Un po&#8217; perché eravamo tutti spaventati dalla possibilità di fare la sua stessa fine (e chi lo sa se il cartello stava là per salvarci la vita) e un po&#8217; perché siamo rispettosi e timorati. Qualcuno cominciò a fabbricarsi occhiaie come segno di solidarietà e rispetto, altri lo fecero per il semplice fabbricarsi le occhiaie altri, invece, perché non sapevano cosa altro fare.<br />
Alla fine Georg è rimasto da solo, per infinito tempo, ed è stato pure l&#8217;unico nato e cresciuto a Salutorget che ho sentito puzzare prima di merda e poi d’immondizia e poi di un odore che non sono mai riuscito a sentire perché, appena mi arrivava in punta al naso, cominciavo ad annusarmi da dentro, tanto era sconvolgente. Letteralmente, mi rientravano le narici.<br />
Fu quando una nube tossica si cominciò a levare dall’aiuola d’asfalto che le madri avvedute &#8211; al tempo c&#8217;erano ancora madri, qui a Salutorget &#8211; cominciarono a trascinare i loro bambini per mostrar loro cosa succede a chi non obbedisce o a chi non mangia il minestrone di crisantemi o a chi non s’inchina davanti al Consiglio. E quelli, che erano bimbi e pertanto respiravano in modo lieve e innocente, o si vomitavano le palle diventando vecchi a quattro anni oppure si facevano viola e morivano lì, dritti come fusi, solo che non ci potevi neanche filare.<br />
Man mano che i bambini ci restavano secchi, i saggi del consiglio diedero disposizioni affinché qualcuno li sistemasse in fila, davanti all&#8217;aiuola. Per farne tanti martiri e tanti esempi.<br />
E fu davanti a quella fina di anime pallide che le madri più avvedute cominciarono a portare i loro figli ancora vivi. Li portavano a guardare i figli degli altri che erano appesi ai pali da <strong>lap dance</strong> rubati al circolo bocciofilo di Salutorget (il Consiglio, col suo fare deterministico, aveva disposto che venissero erette delle pale in memoria degli infanti. Poi, sempre con il suo fare scellerato &#8211; che il Consiglio mi perdoni l’insolenza &#8211; , aveva affidato l’appalto a chi si offriva a un prezzo più basso. Il resto dei denari lo spese in alcool e in mignotte dell’ovest e non badò più a nulla). Inutile dire che, nel giro di poco tempo, dai l&#8217;esempio tu che poi te lo do io, tutti i bambini di Salutorget si ritrovarono con una corda attorno alla pancia e appesi all’albero della cuccagna davanti ai rimasugli di Georg (che adesso sembrava ancora più basso di prima).</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/assets/6/7f3f7f0fdc7361f0ef600e1dcb76b2a9083df365_m.jpg" alt="" width="300" /><br />
Fu in quell’istante che le madri, sempre le più avvedute, cominciarono ad andare all&#8217;aiuola d&#8217;asfalto anche da sole, perché pensavano che i loro bimbi potessero aver bisogno di sostegno. “Ah, cuore di mamma!”.<br />
Tutte le donne, genuflesse davanti ai pezzi spugnosi di Georg, disperate nel tentativo di ficcare la zuppa di crisantemi nelle gole dei rispettivi figlioli che, ormai, erano freddi e rigidi come il resto delle cose morte e della zuppa non sapevano proprio cosa farsene.<br />
Intanto, i maschioni di Salutorget, troppo distratti dall’amministrazione della cosa pubblica per accorgersi di ciò che stava succedendo sotto i loro occhi, si accorsero d’un tratto che la polvere si stava accumulando nelle loro case, così come lo sperma nei loro <strong>ciglioni</strong> (qui a Salutorget funziona così, con buona pace del correttore automatico).<br />
Fu lì che gli uomini di Salutorget si incazzarono; e non poco.<br />
Il giorno seguente, usciti di buon mattino, si armarono di picconi e palloncini e fecero fuori, in un cruento bagno di sangue, tutte le femmine rimaste. Le afferravano, infilavano le loro teste nei palloncini e poi, con un colpo sferrato dopo aver preso la mira e con un caricamento breve (nella loro violenza sembravano quasi ricercare la bellezza estetica del gesto. Poi, detto tra noi, la cosa non è credibile perché gli uomini, qui a Salutorget, non hanno un gusto estetico), sfondavano il cranio delle loro mogli, delle loro figlie, delle mogli degli altri e delle figlie degli altri. I palloncini si riempivano di sangue e di cervello e diventavano delle teste sostitutive, delle teste con il cervello a cui piaceva stare in silenzio (e di questa cosa i maschioni di Salutorget si rallegrarono).</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/assets/6/ca8685921154de5ea47ce854dc32297ad4589d62_m.gif" alt="" width="300" /><br />
Nei giorni che vennero, poi, fecero fuori anche quelle che i figli ancora non ce li avevano e che quindi non si erano andate a inginocchiare e non avevano lasciato impolverare le loro case e non avevano fatto accumulare lo sperma nei loro ciglioni.<br />
Il motivo non lo ha mai capito nessuno. Si mormora fosse per il suono sospirato della paura prima di appendersi all&#8217;ultima domanda. Si mormora fosse per l’afflato interrogativo che qui a Salutorget, pian piano, stiamo imparando a trattenere ma che, evidentemente, quelle madri e quelle donne, fragili e innamorate, non hanno saputo negare alle orecchie ineducate della bestia.<br />
Ed eccoci qui, che ci arrampichiamo tra le Fronde mentre il Consiglio cambia le maschere dell&#8217;unica donna rapita e portata via da Tegrotulas. Siamo soli, fottutamnete soli, chiusi nei nostri pugni a rimpiangere ogni colpo di piccone, ogni desiderio, ogni istante in cui abbiamo creduto possibile ritrovare la nostra vita in un sospiro rantolato di paura. Ci siamo spaventati da soli, ci siamo urticati e puniti da soli, abbiamo cominciato a pulirci il culo (o la fortuna, come mi suggerisce il pudico prodotto Microsoft) con i palmi aperti per poi inquinare e insudiciare ogni cosa che ci si parava davanti. La merda ci s’incastrava sotto le unghie, e se le avvicinavamo al naso ancora potevamo sentire l&#8217;odore di Georg, dei nostri figli e delle nostre mogli e delle donne che nostre non erano ma che abbiamo ucciso comunque. Faceva parte del rituale di espiazione, disse il Consiglio. E, dopo averlo detto, istituì una settimana di festa nazionale e ci vietò di abitare le Fronde.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/assets/6/400a6f74ac70d43d0b80e9d672583e8b04db1439_m.jpg" alt="" width="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Da quel giorno ne è passato di tempo, Georg è stato assorbito dall&#8217;asfalto, i nostri figli si sono trasformati in incrostazioni calcaree sui pali, il sangue delle nostre donne e di quelle che nostre non erano, si è rappreso in infiniti cristalli che adesso vendiamo ai popoli delle Terre a Est delle Terre a Est. La festa, le feste rimangono sempre, sempre uguali, a ricordarci della condanna eterna che ci attende. Però i cristalli li spediamo verso il Meta-Est. Con loro si fanno buoni affari. Dicono che, di donne, ne abbiano ancora meno di quante ne abbiamo noi. E lo dicevano anche prima che ne rubassimo una da Tergotulas. Immagino che da quelle parti si possa avere anche un numero negativo di donne. Certe popolazioni ragionano in base a slot di anime, ricercano l’allocazione ottimale delle risorse. Hanno queste scatole per anime, una sopra l’altra, che bisogna riempire fino a risalire in superficie e far sì che il primo corpo femminile trovi posto tra quelli marci e penzolanti dei maschi. Lì le anime continuano a fare la fila, a spingersi e a inseguirsi e poi ruotano, senza sosta, descrivono cerchi che abbracciano la nascita, la vita e la morte. Lì le esistenze sono continue, sono lente e non hanno aiuole in mezzo al tempo. Comprano i cristalli di sangue e poi li spingono dentro bambole di pezza che avvolgono attorno alle fabbriche di occhiaie. Sì, anche loro si fabbricano occhiaie nei loro campi. Non so se si tratti di crisantemi o di biancospino o di loto o di riso. Ognuno si fabbrica le occhiaie dove cazzo vuole.<br />
A stare troppo tempo qui su, comincia a far male la pancia, comincia a gridare vendetta e senti i buchi che scavano, con scosse epilettiche, l&#8217;intestino. Ti aspetteresti dei fili di escrementi che ti guarniscano le mutande e ti farciscano i pantaloni e invece il dolore lo senti tutto dietro la nuca e ti si bagnano le ascelle di un sudore vaporoso che esce in piccole schegge di ghiaccio. Qui a Salutorget, quando arriva il tempo, ci portiamo tutti le mani sulla pancia e stringiamo e strizziamo gli occhi per far uscire le lacrime. Perché in fondo noi si è gente con dei sentimenti, gente con emozioni profonde, talmente profonde che le teniamo chiuse nelle budella e le riveliamo in peti asfissianti che solo i più audaci e interessati osano ascoltare.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><i>Ken</i></p>
<p>Everybody should give the instrumental post-rock genre a listen once, there&#8217;s something for everybody and with so many great bands around at the moment such as <a href="http://www.myspace.com/monojp" target="_blank">Mono</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mogwai" target="_blank">Mogwai</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thiswilldestroyyou" target="_blank">This Will Destroy You</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/65propaganda" target="_blank">65daysofstatic</a> etc we’re spoilt for choice.</p>
<p>One band that has been making a steady name for themselves over the last few years is Northern Irish group <a href="http://www.myspace.com/andsoiwatchyoufromafar" target="_blank">And So I Watch You From Afar</a>. Their debut self-titled album came out early this year on Smalltown America Records; eleven ear-shattering and beautifully epic songs showcasing the band’s technical prowess. To prove my point here’s a cool official video for the opening track <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEKkkhJCjcM" target="_blank">Set Guitars To Kill</a> on their album.  </p>
<p>Give them a try; you’ll be blown away and no doubt have bleeding eardrums by the end of it. Now set those guitars to kill!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 360px"><img title="The Fall Of Math" src="http://www.progarchives.com/progressive_rock_discography_covers/2553/cover_5327221222009.jpg" alt="The Fall Of Math" width="350" height="350" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Fall Of Math</p></div>
<p>A veces en el mundo de la música, incluso a día de hoy, hay lugar para descubrir cosas realmente innovadoras y a su vez accesibles al gran público, grupos originales que combinan estilos e ideas de diversa procedencia, pero que a su vez también tienen un gran nivel musical y sobre todo, que resultan realmente divertidas, entretenidas y apasionantes.<br />
Una de esas propuestas son estos 65DaysOfStatic, un brillante grupo Inglés de música experimental que combina el post-rock con voces, baterías y ritmos sampleados, desarrollos que en ocasiones se acercan al rock progresivo, elementos propios del break-core, teclados cercanos a la electrónica y guitarras que en ocasiones podrían encajar en el math-rock. Todo ese conglomerado de géneros, estilos y tendencias se combinan a la perfección para dar lugar a una formula relativamente simple, con un estilo muy personal y característico, es escuchar sus pianos y los samples de voz y batería para inmediatamente saber que estamos escuchando 65DOS.<br />
Una fórmula que muchas bandas han intentado imitar (Laymar, maybeshewill, Scraps of tape&#8230;), pero que personalmente ninguna ha llegado a igualar, aunque algunas se acerque con más o menos suerte.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://backtomono.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/65-days-of-static.jpg?w=397&#038;h=312" alt="" width="397" height="312" /></p>
<p>The Fall Of Math es su alabado álbum debut, álbum que muestra esa fórmula de la que tanto hablamos y que han seguido repitiendo con maestría a lo largo de sus 2 siguientes LP y sus diversos EPs y remixes. Un álbum para bailar, disfrutar, divertirse y sentirlo. Música experimental para todos los oídos, Break-core para todos los oídos, math-rock para todos los oídos, en definitiva, un disco/grupo muy accesible y entretenido, y una música que se puede sentir muy profundo pese a esa fachada de grupo entretenido y punto. El resto de discos (espero hablar de ellos) mantienen el tipo a la perfección, sin apenas altibajos, con la misma fórmula pero aun así con el suficiente estilo y nivel para no llegar a hacerse repetitivos.<br />
Si de verdad os gusta el grupo y tenéis ocasión de verlos en directo, no lo dudéis ni un segundo. Pese a que solo los disfruté durante apenas 40 minutos, ha sido uno de los conciertos más intensos de mi vida, y eso que la situación no acompañaba (actuaban como teloneros de The Cure).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-192" title="65daysofstatic - The Fall Of Math" src="http://thelongwaytothetop.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/65daysofstatic-the-fall-of-math.gif" alt="65daysofstatic - The Fall Of Math" width="200" height="200" />Nel 2004 i <strong>65daysofstatic</strong> escono sul mercato col loro primo full lenght; si erano già fatti notare con precedenti lavori minori, ma è soprattutto con questo <strong>The Fall Of Math</strong> che entrano di diritto tra i nomi più importanti della scena post rock. Il loro particolarissimo stile sembra essere l’incontro-scontro tra le sonorità di <em>Mogwai</em>, <em>Tool</em>, <em>Aphex Twin</em>, <em>Isis</em>. I suoi caratteri sono l’assenza del cantato, la prevalenza della sezione ritmica con una batteria semplicemente mozzafiato, l’evidente ma non invadente utilizzo dell’elettronica. Grazie a tutti questi fattori, i <em>65daysofstatic</em> riescono a raggiungere, uscendo fuori dagli schemi, sorprendenti soluzioni musicali che difficilmente lasceranno indifferente l’ascoltatore. Profonde parti melodiche si alternano ad atmosfere dark quasi spiazzanti, dando forma ad un disco imprevedibile, solido, suggestivo e assolutamente non scontato.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://themuseinmusic.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/annual-moscow-general-meeting.jpg?w=225" alt="Annual Moscow General Meeting" title="Annual Moscow General Meeting" width="225" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6677" />I haven&#8217;t heard the album yet, but what a freakin&#8217; name.</p>
<p>The ensemble is named <a href="http://www.myspace.com/65propaganda">65daysofstatic</a>.  We already know what you&#8217;re thinking: <em>with monikers like these banging around in their orbit, too-clever-by-half, these guys better bring it musically</em>.  But we assure you.  It&#8217;s brought.  (That is what you were thinking, though, right?  Right?)</p>
<p>As we speak I&#8217;m tinkering around in their Myspace space.  &#8220;Radio Protector,&#8221; from their 2005 LP <em>One Time For All Time</em>, starts out as a bittersweet and logical piano lick and then explodes in the sky, if you get me.  &#8220;Primer&#8221; adds a bit of a jazz primer, and is taken from their most recent studio LP, <em>The Destruction of Small Ideas</em>.  (Well, then!)</p>
<p>The &#8220;Dance Parties [Distant]&#8221; remix of &#8220;The Distant and Mechanised Glow of Eastern European Dance Parties&#8221; (I&#8217;m telling you, these names are a music blogger&#8217;s wet dream: the copy literally writes itself)&#8230;</p>
<p>Finally, from the totem LP, comes &#8220;I Swallowed Hard, Like I Understood.&#8221;  This is a large and expertly-detailed work. Don&#8217;t miss it on your trip.  I&#8217;m tempted to embed the live version below, but instead, why don&#8217;t you just <a href="http://www.myspace.com/65propaganda">click</a>&#8230;?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>2007 aastal andis 65dos välja albumi <strong>The Destruction of Small Ideas</strong>. Sel albumil oli ka lugu <strong>The Distant and Mechanised Glow of Eastern European Dance Parties</strong>,<strong> </strong>mille kaks remixi ja lisaks neile veel 2 b-poole lugu anti eelmisel aastal 17 minutilise EP kujul välja. <img class="alignright" title="http://static.boomkat.com/images/121409/333.jpg" src="http://static.boomkat.com/images/121409/333.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="333" /></p>
<p>Kunagi oli 65dos lihtsalt harilik post-rock bänd, mille kõla ilmestasid energiline ning kõrge müraleveliga kitarr ning kiire ja jõuline trumm. Praeguseks on lisandunud väga palju elektroonilisi elemente. Ma ei nimetakski neid enam postrokkariteks, see on juba elektro. Ja veel kuradi hea elektro. Nende 3 stuudioalbumit on kõik tasemel, aga kõnealune EP on lihtsalt fantastiline.</p>
<p>See on kui unenägu, millest ei suuda end lahti rebida. Esimesest minutist alates on kuulaja muusika külge aheldatud. Kui Dance Parties EP oleks digimon, oleks ta kohe kindlasti Skullgreymon. Kurjakuulutava välimusega ülitugev võitleja.</p>
<p>Ma tahaksin neid nelja lugu kõikjal kuulata. Ma tahan nendega pidutseda, ma tahan nende taustal hommikujooksu joosta, ma tahan neid kuulates magama jääda.</p>
<p>Kes vähegi elektroonikat muusika puhul talub, on kohustatud oma elust 17 minutit 65daysofstaticule pühendama.</p>
<p>Mina sain enda eksemplari siit:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Guest writer on the blog today, people. Cameron, our supercool work experience boy for the week, would like to tell you about a band he loves, Texas post-rockers <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thiswilldestroyyou">This Will Destroy You</a>. Young Cameron is also in a pretty ace band himself, which you can check out here &#8211; <a href="http://www.myspace.com/westolecairo">www.myspace.com/westolecairo </a>. </p>
<p>Over to Cameron&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_998" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://ohinvertedworldclub.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/this-will-destroy-you/this-will-destroy-you/" rel="attachment wp-att-998"><img src="http://ohinvertedworldclub.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/this-will-destroy-you.png" alt="This Will Destroy You" title="this will destroy you" width="500" height="365" class="size-full wp-image-998" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This Will Destroy You</p></div>
<p>This Will Destroy You may not sound like the most coaxing name for a band, and it certainly does not match the music that they make.  Originally forming in 2005, as a 4 piece post-rock, instrumental band.  They immediately got to work on their first demo, only for it to be released as their first EP, ‘Young Mountain’ in 2006.  The EP provided generally good reviews, and their most famous track to date, ‘There are Some Remedies Worse than the Disease’.  Soon after they released their, self titled, debut album in January 2008.  Although receiving some mixed reviews, the general reception of the album was good, and they acquired a fairly large fanbase.  </p>
<p>The feel of the album is one of disturbed ambiance.  With the subtle rising and falling of echoed guitars, plastered with reverb and sounds that Matt Bellamy would be pushed to create.  Only to then be hit with a wall of distortion, as if you had awoken a bear from hibernation.  The shear force and emotion that they deliver without any lyrics is unreal.  They have taken the mellowness of Sigur Ros and merged it with the electric distorted noise of 65daysofstatic.</p>
<p>This Will Destroy You are not another instrumental band who simply think they do not need singer.  They use their instruments as if they were the only things saving them from death.  Intricacy wraps itself around each song, providing a different feel to each song, yet they still have a firm hold on what the band are doing.  Songs such as, ‘Burial on the Presidio Banks’ are enough to bring grown men to tears.  While, ‘Leather Wings’ has a more simplified feel to it.  It simply provides a completely enjoyable and relaxing listen from beginning to end.  As the ethereal tones of, ‘A Three-Legged Work Horse’ cascade in at the beginning of the album, you can tell that it will be one hell of a ride until the distorted blaze of ‘Burial on the Presidio Banks’ fades out.<br />
So yes, they will destroy you, but for all the right reasons.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Eén dagje in een uitverkocht Minnewaterpark vertoeven? Na wikken en wegen tussen zaterdag en zondag ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Eén dagje in een uitverkocht Minnewaterpark vertoeven? Na wikken en wegen tussen zaterdag en zondag werd toch maar gekozen voor de eerste optie.</p>
<p>Openen deed <strong>Joe Gideon &#38; The Shark</strong>. Hij, de gitaar en zang. Zij, backings, drums, toetsen en dat in een opvallend luipaardvelletje. Ze klonken meer dan behoorlijk, maar hadden als beginnende groep niet meteen bekende deuntjes mee. Gewoon goed was het verdict.<br />
Quotering: ***</p>
<p>Een versnelling en meteen ook een niveau hoger werd er geschakeld met <strong>65daysofstatic</strong>. Ze brachten een pak energie mee, zonder daarbij te vervallen in een zootje ongeregeld. Normaal spelen ze enkel in donkere zalen (dat ze op een compilatie van Duyster staan zegt genoeg), maar het bleef ook in klaarlichte dag overeind. Helemaal leuk werd het toen één van de bandleden zijn gitaar een hele poos met zijn mond de hoogte in hield. Topper.<br />
Quotering: ****</p>
<p>Tijd voor iets Belgisch en meteen ook iets goeds, <strong>The Black Box Revelation</strong>. Rock &#8216;n roll gelijk de beesten, veel energie (bij het derde nummer sloeg Dries zijn eerste drumstokje in frut) en een cd die zijn deugdelijkheid meer dan bewezen heeft. Zeer lekker set, goed gespeeld, alleen bleef het grootste gedeelte van het publiek er tamelijk mak bij.<br />
Quotering: ****</p>
<p>Qua klederdracht was <strong>Joan As Police Woman</strong> alvast een opmerkelijke act. Zij koos ook voor een tijgerprint, maar dan heel wat flashy kleurtjes. De eerste helft van jaar set klonk jammer genoeg niet navenant. Te mak, te rustig, nummers die niet sterk genoeg bleken. Gelukkig kwam er beterschap, kon ze de set nog ombuigen naar de positieve zij door een aantal nummers uit haar eerste plaat en een aantal covers.<br />
Quotering: ***</p>
<p><strong>Cold War Kids</strong> hadden even wat vertraging bij het soundchecken. Gelukkig kwam alles goed, zodat ze hun set er alsnog konden doorjagen. Goed qua klank, alleen jammer dat hun repertoire wat te onstabiel bleek. Voornamelijk nummers uit cd1 zoals Hang Me Up To Dry, We Used To Vacation en Saint John konden bekoren.<br />
Quotering: ***(*)</p>
<p>Heel wat fans drongen toen naar voren om <strong>The Gutter Twins</strong> te aanschouwen. De twins waren voor de gelegenheid een trio geworden. Akoestisch, gezeten op hun stoeltje speelde ze heel fraai een dik uur vol. Ik zette mij comfortabel op de poep om de mooie klanken te aanhoren. Zien hoefde niet, want meer dan een statisch geheel was het niet. De echte fans hadden beslist genoten.<br />
Quotering: ***(*)</p>
<p>Joost Zweegers had door overmacht tijdelijk een nieuwe drumster mee. Niemand minder dan Isolde Lasoen kwam de rangen vervolledigen en dat vind ik alvast helemaal niet spijtig. <strong>Novastar </strong>begon rutig met wat werk uit zijn laatste plaat &#8216;Almost Bangor&#8217;. Heel erg lang duurde het voorspel echter niet, want algauw werden alle hits ten berde gebracht. Heel wat ervan in een iets of ander jasje, een gesmaakt jasje. The Best Is Yet To Come werd alvast het meezingmoment van zaterdag.<br />
Quotering: ****</p>
<p>Afsluiten werd gedaan met <strong>Paul Weller</strong>. De naam zei me weinig, maar ik kon niet ontkennen dat meneer Weller live best meer dan aardig klinkt. Tweemaal kwam er ook een moment van &#8216;ah ha, dat ken ik&#8217;, maar iets te weinig om mij echt helemaal te overtuigen. Echte fans genoten wellicht meer.<br />
Quotering: ***(*)</p>
<p>Zaterdag op Cactusfestival 2009 was een dag op hoog niveau zonder echte uitschieters.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Tussen de overdaad aan zomerfestivals door maakt het <strong>Patronaat</strong> handig gebruik van de rondtoerende artiesten en bands. Zo passeren tijdens deze zomerperiode in één week tijd vier topacts op het gebied post-rock en post-metal: <strong>Mogwai, Neurosis, 65daysof static</strong> en <strong>….And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead</strong>. Deze bands hebben als overeenkomst dat ze op bepaalde momenten een muur van geluid kunnen neerzetten. De uitgangspunten, uitstraling en muzikale resultaten zijn alleen totaal verschillend. Het siert het <strong>Patronaat </strong>dat ze ondanks het zomerreces de regio trakteren op dit brede scala aan bands.</p>
<p>Het Vlaamse <strong>Amen Ra </strong>moet het publiek warm maken voor het hoofdprogramma. Het past uitstekend binnen de hokjesgeest. Alleen blijft <strong>Amen Ra </strong>hangen in het “van dik hout zaagt men planken”. Bij aanvang van de nummers is enige spanning te ervaren, daarna wordt in het vervolg elk avontuur vermeden. Tijdens het openingsnummer geven de subtiele tempowisselingen dat kleine stukje extra. Maar verder is de presentatie sober, introvert (muzikanten en zanger staan meestentijds met de rug naar publiek) en zijn de gitaarmuren voorspelbaar en standaard. Bij de doom-metal invulling van <strong>Amen Ra </strong>zijn hokjesgeesten dodelijk voor het creëren van eigenzinnige muziek. Hetgeen trouwens geldt voor ieder willekeurig muziekgenre.</p>
<p>Van een geheel ander kaliber zijn de verrichtingen van <strong>Neurosis</strong>. Vooral is het de grote variatie in tempo, sfeerwisselingen en uitstraling waarin de band uitblinkt. Zo is de muziek moeilijk in het juiste hokje te plaatsen. De één ervaart het als post-metal de ander als punk-metal en weer een ander als doom-metal. Welk etiket je er opplakt doet er eigenlijk niet toe. <strong>Neurosis</strong> is intens en gedoseerd loeihard. Ik kies (ben uiteindelijk de recensent) bij deze voor de term tribal-metal. Waar de band echter ook in uitblinkt is de agressieve houding naar publiek. Zo ligt de staalbewerking voor henzelf en de fans zwaar op de maag. We kennen allemaal de scheidsrechters die een wedstrijd totaal dood kunnen fluiten. Zo ook bij het optreden van dit Amerikaanse vijftal. Vanuit de overtuiging van hun vakkundigheid hebben ze de pretentie te kunnen sollen met het publiek. Publiekseigendommen die voor op het podium liggen worden de zaal ingetrapt, het publiek wordt bespuugd en bij de eerste beste flash van een camera springt <strong>Neurosis</strong> en aanhang uit de metalen huid. Ze doen daarmee hun naam eer aan, maar het tast wel de intimiteit en intensiteit van het zaalgebeuren aan.</p>

<p>Power means nothing without precision. The huge, headstomping, heartshaking noise that 65days generate is shaped and sharpened by the extraordinary unity of their playing. When they speak to the crowd between songs, it&#8217;s with the relaxed tone of people doing something they love with friends; when they play, it&#8217;s with gang fury, bound by sound and storming the audience. From the first note of the set, 65days are incredibly loud, and they never back down – the audience cheers ecstatic throughout (but especially when <a title="Radio Protector on YouTube (video by MedLo)" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkzCi5mHvkc">Radio Protector</a> and <a title="Retreat! Retreat! on YouTube (video by MedLo)" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WneDU-K3Sww">Retreat! Retreat!</a> come out) and it&#8217;s obvious that this crowd belongs to 65days. We want them to be bigger, noisier, fiercer, to fill us with sound and make us a part of their explosion. The electronic sounds that squall on record, thunder live; the band play with huge gestures, guitar necks blurring and drumsticks raised high, but never with any slack. Astonishing.</p>
