The shot is captured with my mobile on the concert with Einstuerzende Neubauten 2008-04-26 in goteborg. Even thou the short videoclips (uploaded on YouTub) sucks, the Einstuerzende Neubauten concert really rocked (!) For some a sounding like a contradiction as they often are linked to 'Syth'. Nut This night they delivered a complete heavy Industrial rock sound. For additional clips from the concert please visit my youtube channel Einstuerzende Neubauten
I just grasped the combined concept of podcasting and Feed readers. It's just genius! I'll be spending the near future by exploring this extended tools. S o for now I bid you a short blog and will return with a prolonged report.
I snapped this photo with my mobile camera from a Tram window, on my way in to city on early Friday evening. For once I actually realized I liked what the office building, "läppstiftet" (Lipstick) looked like. When it was inauguratein in1989 it was the most debated architectural constructions in Göteborg. After a quick visit over the bridge that separates central Göteborg from the 10th larges island in Sweden, "Hisingen". I decided to spend the rest of my weekend by the sea away from the city's pulse and it's right rushing traffic lights.
Tumlehed by the sea
In the north of Göteborg's archipelago situates one of my favorite places. This is where I like to be when I am away from my computer IRL. But thx to modern technology I can still log on to the web with my mobile when ever I want or suffer from online abstinence.
Clouds over the Sea
After almost two months without rain the clouds was finally building up over the ocean. It felt liberatingly wlm. Just some seconds later the wind released the rain and I just sat there and smelled the wonderful scent of summer rain mixing with saltwater
There's the truth and there's the explanations of those who has imposed it on to our very existence. But - I stand and uphold the belief that - There's nothing more valuable than the truth you hold inside. Not always have I walked on the path of faith, they have denied me that, but they could never control that witch I have read, thought and listened. These shapes the entrance guidelines to the paths laid out for a living creatures. My choice is not to agree with the bigwigs or creators of modern or classic ideology, nor to reject the words that already has been spoken. Then and now.
I wish the world a new awakening, where the ways we look upon it has shifted. For the epiphany of redefinition in how we choose to interpreter the way we live and dies. To have the right and the free hands to our own interpretation of the reality that surround us. To question the reality to witch we persist to cling on to, to just have had one ponder reached your hearth with the stone cold chill of the truth. Release the chained panther to run through new thoughts achieving a more sensible explanation to the distinctiveness the world offers. Tearing down thick wall s of predestined cornerstones old ideas has sprung from, to out of its very mouth regain new foundations declaring the bases of modern societies with modern thoughts.
The old says has lost its power reveling the shadows left behind by people marching through the sewers of modernity. Out of template harvest the global shift already laid its harsh cloak of changes for the future. With its multidimensional simplicity, the modern apprehension of communication, dissolves the traditional slaying and weighing of the truth... Social Network Services ....
In Sweden TV shows in the Sci-fi/Fantasy/Cyberpunk/Horror Genre is rare. Up until a couple of years ago we always got our TV Series 2-3 years after they had originally broad-casted in UK or US. And we didn't have a channel that prioritises genre TV. Since Buffy and Angel went of air, witty genre Series has thrift on TV. Finally NBC series "Heroes" promise both excitement, interesting characters and some well needed humor. There are plenty of good and well produced series with in the genre and some are worth watching. But I have missed (still do) the excellent of Joss Whedons creations "Buffy" went of air 2003 and "Angel" a year later and still nothing have surpassed the quality of thous series. Of course there have been a lot of shows that have had better Cast, been better technical aso, but "Buffy" & "Angel" were complete shows with that something extra.
Anyhow after watching the first season of "Heroes" I most admit that it is captivating and has a welcome satirical distance to it self. For inveterate Sci-fi/Fantasy/Cyberpunk/Horror viewers there are many intertextualite to munch at. But my total opinion (thou not complete) puts the show in the middle of a scale. The makers intentions are a little to pretentious, throwing a spanner in the works, it fails to really reach excellency but I still puts it self above average. Much thanks to interesting characters and that the classical struggle between good or evil isn't as easy as it might appear, The humor and naivety that the character Hiro bring is refreshing and separates the show from a traditional gene mutant shows. And then we of curse have the series "Lost" I have followed the show in til end of season 3, but are saving the new season for a rainy day. 2008 I am glad to say we could wlm back "Battlestar Galactica" Season 4, said to be the last season. There were a couple of other shows I liked during 2004 and forward, firstly "Invasion" which sadly got canceled after only one season a destiny so tragically chaired with the amazing Whedon creation "Firefly" . Why the hell that show got canceled I will never fully understand. I mean it had it all a well written script, captivating characters, a fundamentally base ground story and the Whendons incredible fingertip feeling for mixing genres. But what can one do? It never even got aired in Sweden. The third series was The 4400. But It's commercial character, Movie photo shots and shallow storytelling reality made it on the verge to boring. I bought the DVD collection but I have only watched it once, compeered with my Buffy and Angel collection that I have watch so many times that I almost have to replace them. I am not lying when I say that I have watched curtain episodes over 70 times. Thats good television. Only Series with a really good story plot and script makes them immortal.
And Then there came the Sci-fi/Fantasy/Cyberpunk/Horror Genre boom of '06-07 Suddenly there was an abundance of Series coming from U.K and U.S, to just mention a few: Jericho Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Reaper Pushing Daisy New Amsterdam Flash Gordon Eureka Pain Killer Jane Bionic Woman Moonlight And I certainly go on but not this time I won't.
I am really curious of Joss Whedons new 'comeback' to the world of Tv series named "Dollhouse" staring both Buffy actor Eliza Dushku alias Faith (picture at the top of the blog) and Angel's Amy Acker alias WinFred (picture at the end of the blog). According to what I can read about the announced story plot onwww.IMDB-com it sounds like Johnny Mnemonic meets Battlestar Galactica. Fox has signed up for 7 episodes premiering in spring 2009. Fox and Whedon???
These Poems are by my favorite authors. Further up and to right, I have publish some of my own Poems. (most of them are in Swedish)
2008-06-16 Commission by Ezra Pound
Go, my songs, to the lonely and the unsatisfied, Go also to the nerve wracked, go to the enslaved by convention, Bear to them my contempt for their oppressors. Go as a great wave of cool water, Bear my contempt of oppressors.
Speak against unconscious oppression, Speak against the tyranny of the unimaginative, Speak against bonds. Go to the bourgeoise who is dying of her ennuis, Go to the women in suburbs. Go to the hideously wedded, Go to them whose failure is concealed, Go to the unluckily mated, Go to the bought wife, Go to the woman entailed.
Go to those who have delicate lust, Go to those whose delicate desires are thwarted, Go like a blight upon the dullness of the world, Go with your edge against this, Strengthen the subtle cords, Bring confidence upon the algae and the tentacles of the soul.
Go in a friendly manner, Go with an open speech. Be eager to find new evils and new good, Be against all forms of oppression. Go to those who are thickened with middle age, To those who have lost their interest. Go to the adolescent who are smothered in family___ Oh how hideous it is To see three generations of one house gathered together! It is like an old tree with shoots, And with some branches rotted and falling.
Go out and defy opinion, Go against this vegetable bondage of the blood. Be against all sorts of mortmain. 2008-06-17 Vinterns Blick by Thomas Tranströmer
Jag lutar som en stege och når in med ansiktet i körsbärsträdets första våning. Jag är inne i färgernas klocka som ringer av sol. De svartröda bären gör jag slut på fortare än fyra skator.
Då träffas jag plötsligt av kylan från långt håll. Ögonblicket svartnar och sitter kvar som yxans märke i en stam
Från och med nu är det sent. Vi ger oss avhalvspringande utom synhåll, ner, ner i det antika kloaksystemet. Tunnlarna. Där vandrar vi i månader, halvt i tjänst och halvt på flykt
Kort andakt när någon lucka öppnar sig över oss och ett svagt ljus faller. Vi ser uppåt: stjärnhimlen genom avloppsgallret.
2008-06-14 Der Panther By R.M Rilkes
Sein Blick ist vom Vorübergehn der Stäbe so müd geworden, daß er nichts mehr hält. Ihm ist, als ob es tausend Stäbe gäbe und hinter tausend Stäbe keine Welt.
Der weiche Gang geschmeidig starker Schritte, der sich im allerkliensten Kreise dreht, ist wie ein Tanz von Kraft um eine Mitte, in der betäubt ein großer Wille steht.
Nur manchmal schiebt der Vorhang der Pupille sich lautlos auf. – Dann geht ein Bild hinein, geht durch der Glieder angespannte Stille – und hört im Herzen auf zu sein.
