iTunes and the Killers

So, C-doggie has gotten me into iTunes. It's a way of buying music cheaply and ethically. I figure that if I like a song, it's worth .99, no?

The Killers is one of my latest purchases. They're an interesting mix of retro and neo. Unabashedly romantic and hopeful.

read these lyrics, from "When You Were Young"



You sit there in your heartache
waiting on some beautiful boy, to,
to save you from your old ways
you play forgiveness, watch it now
here he comes
he doesn't look a thing like Jesus but he
talks a gentleman

like you imagined

when you were young.

Amid The Woe...

Taken from the New York Times article "Amid the Woe, a Haitian Paradise Beckons" by Marc Lacey (photo by Ruth Fremson):

LABADIE, Haiti — There is Haiti, the poorest nation in the hemisphere.

"Haiti is a place that is in the news, and it’s always bad news."

On a recent morning, Labadie was filled with several thousand people just off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship frolicking in the waves, bartering in the craft market and taking in the voodoo show.

None of them would experience Haiti’s rail-thin children, the mounds of garbage and open sewage dumps or the heavily armed peacekeeping troops struggling to keep a lid on the sprawling urban slums.

“But you could sleep on the beach in Jacmel and you’d be safe.”

Although Royal Caribbean hires hundreds of local residents, many feel left out.

Although passengers who sign a waiver and present a passport can leave the Labadie compound, most seem perfectly content to remain on their isolated cove.

“I don’t want to see poverty.”

“I’m on vacation. I don’t want to think that these people don’t have enough to eat.”

5 Star News Items of Note

1. Vikings may have used a special crystal called a sunstone to help navigate the seas even when the sun was obscured by fog or cloud, a study has suggested. Researchers from Hungary ran a test with sunstones in the Arctic ocean, and found that the crystals can reveal the sun's position even in bad weather. This would have allowed the Vikings to navigate successfully, they say.

2. Iran's scientists have produced a herbal medicine that boosts the human's body immunity system against the HIV/ AIDS virus. "The herbal-based medication, called IMOD, serves to control the AIDS virus and increases the body's immunity," Baqeri Lankarani was quoted as saying by the official news agency IRNA.

3. New Delhi - A suspected meteorite killed two nomads and injured five others on Thursday in the northern Indian desert state of Rajasthan, a report said. Police told the Press Trust of India news agency that the group of nomads were sitting in a field in Rajasthan's Bundi district when an "unknown flying object", thought to be a meteorite, hit the ground and exploded, leaving behind a crater.

4. Village residents from the Rostov region of Russia caught a weird creature two weeks ago after a strong storm in the Sea of Azov. The shark-looking creature was producing strange squeaky sounds. The fishermen originally believed that they had caught an alien and decided to film the monster with the help of a cell phone camera. The footage clearly shows the creatures’ head, body and long tail. The bizarre catch weighed almost 100 kilograms. Scientists were greatly disappointed when they found out that the fishermen had eaten the monster. They said that they were not scared of the creature so they decided to use it as food. One of the men said that it was the most delicious dish he had ever eaten.

5. The GODKINGS are performing at the Label gallery next Sunday evening.

The Story of Little Suck-a-Thumb

This is the panel that inspired my "Snip Snap Snip!" This was a German children`s story from the book "Shock Headed Peter" of the danger of thumb sucking. It worked on me. the book is full of terrifying but effective tales of bad eating, and hygene habits.

from Oiseau (glum) by Denis Prieur

These are some pics I took recently at a show by a local artist. He's very talented and creative. I suspect he won't mind me posting these pics.

He makes his work out of plywood, and uses felt markers, paint, and other stuff.

Very fun. Very fresh.

The owl is Oiseau (froid). The other is Oiseau (change). I'm not sure what kind of bird he is.

Romeo and Juliet in Sarajevo

Admira Ismić (b. 1968) and Boško Brkić (b. 1968), killed May 19, 1993 by snipers during the war in the former Yugoslavia.

They were lovers who were forced apart by the war b/c they were on different sides of the ethnic divide. They tried to meet up secretly on a bridge, were both shot, and then crawled towards each other to die in each other's arms.

Joe KRAHN! My BOY!

This review appeared in today's (Saturday) Winnipeg Free Press- it was done by FP music writer Rob Williams-- Pay special att'n to the last paragraph


CD REVIEW: DEBRA LYNN NEUFELD, BOOTLEG

WHEN Neufeld sings she's full of sugar and likes to stop traffic you have no choice but to believe her.

The sophomore effort from Winnipeg's reigning Queen of the Blues builds upon the foundation of her debut Lock Up Your Sons with stronger songwriting, a bigger sound and honest-to-a-fault lyrics.

Neufeld teams up with some of the city's finest players (The Perpetrators, Chris Carmichael, Ken (Spider) Sinnaeve and Ken McMahon) on 10 original tracks and a Big Dave McLean cover to grind out some gritty old-school Chicago blues that can be tough or tender depending on her mood. Sugar in Me is filled with a rumbling avalanche of drums, Love Junkie shuffles along like a drunk at a juke joint and Bone Appetite is steeped in garage rock.

Neufeld also proves herself one hell of a guitarist easily trading off lead licks with Jay Nowicki, Carmichael and Josey Krahn. Winnipeggers can join her every Tuesday when her band Ragdoll hosts a jam night at the Windsor Hotel.

Giant People

Strand
Originally uploaded by babajiwotan.

Aside from mythology and folklore, mysterious remains of giants have been found in America. Giants are usually classified as human-like remains that are 7'-5" or more in height. The book Forbidden Land by Robert Lyman (1971) recounts the following finds:

* A decayed human skeleton claimed by eyewitnesses to measure around 3.28 metres (10 feet 9 inches tall), was unearthed by labourers while ploughing a vineyard in November 1856 in East Wheeling, now in West Virginia.
* A human skeleton measuring 3.6 metres (12 foot) tall was unearthed at Lompock Rancho, California, in 1833 by soldiers digging in a pit for a powder magazine. The specimen had a double row of teeth and was surrounded by numerous stone axes, carved shells and porphyry blocks with abstruse symbols associated with it.
* Several mummified remains of red haired humans ranging from 2-2.5 metres (6.5 feet to over 8 feet) tall were dug up at Lovelock Cave, (70 miles) north-east of Reno, Nevada, by a guano mining operation. These bones substantiated legends by the local Paiute Indians regarding giants which they called Si-Te-Cahs. For some reason scientists did not seem to want to investigate these finds further so many of the bones were lost. Fortunately one of the giant Lovelock skulls is still preserved today. It measures almost 30cm (1 foot) tall and resides along with other various Lovelock artefacts in the Humboldt Museum in Winnemucca, Nevada. Some of these artefacts can also be found in the Nevada State Historical Society's museum at Reno.
* A 9' 11" skeleton was unearthed in 1928 by a farmer digging a pit to bury trash in Tensas Parish, Louisiana near Waterproof. In 1931 a 10' 2" skeleton was unearthed by a boy burying his dog in 1933 in Nearby Madison Parish.


Aside from in Forbidden Land, we can find other unverified examples or legends about the remains of giants:

* A 9' 8" skeleton was excavated from a mound near Brewersville, Indiana (Indianapolis News, Nov 10, 1975).
* In Clearwater Minnesota, the skeletons of seven giants were found in mounds. These had receding foreheads and complete double dentition (Childress 1992, p. 468).
* A mound near Toledo, Ohio, held 20 skeletons, seated and facing east with jaws and teeth "twice as large as those of present day people," and besides each was a large bowl with "curiously wrought hieroglyphic figures." (Chicago Record, Oct. 24, 1895; cited by Ron G. Dobbins, NEARA Journal, v13, fall 1978).
* In the town of Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada there is a span of mountains five miles long that are in the shape of a man wearing a headress laying down on his back and is called "The Sleeping Giant", it is from local Ojibway legend that identifies the giant as Nanabijou, the spirit of the Deep Sea Water, who was turned to stone when the secret location of a rich silver mine, now known as Silver Islet, was disclosed to white men.
* Patagons of Patagonia in South America, giants claimed to have been seen by Ferdinand Magellan and his crew.

Thanks for coming to the show last night peoples. It seemed to go off pretty well. Actually, I felt the tightness and realness levels reached well-beyond previous expectations. All the peoples came on stage at the end and Joe said I should have kept playing knocking on heaven's door I guess in the moment I was a bit in shock.

I felt a strange combination of discombobulation and hightened awareness at the end there. Maybe because I had fasted, the mind becomes still and empty. Not many desires, clearer vision and hearing and overall sharper perceptions.

This feeling is familiar. Im listening and it seems like I can hear what everyone's thinking. And I heard a lot of strange things? Did I actually hear those things or did I just feel them? The sound of people's thoughts is unnerving because often they are full of darkness. That's why in order to be able to function with this type of perception, you need a good strong jedi-mind shield. Otherwise your ego's going to take a bruising.

One strange thing that I heard was someone calling us the Shriners at the end of the night.

When's the next show?

Bugs, and the scale of infinity

from www.wikipedia.org

* The 17th century writer Jonathan Swift mocked the idea of self-similarity in natural philosophy with the following ditty:

"So nat'ralists observe, a flea
Hath smaller fleas that on him prey,
And these have smaller fleas that bite 'em,
And so proceed ad infinitum."

* Which was itself parodied by the Victorian era mathematician Augustus De Morgan:

"Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on,
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on."

ego...maniac.

But describing something that feels close…

Anyway…HEHE…

It’s still early…and there is tons of time…

Waiting for us to capitalize…

With the utmost…

of bleeding desires and silly thoughts…

Hoping that someone else will see…

But now…to part with something important…

Not just ridiculous rambling…

Find your channels…and bring them…just like the first snow…

And like the last time you touched someone important to you…

like the things that made you really feel…

Bleed if you must…but most of all,

War

PICT0025, originally uploaded by The Stranger.

The pieces are moving. They’ll be in place by the end of February. The United States will be able to escalate military operations against Iran.
The second carrier strike group leaves the U.S. west coast on Tuesday. It will be joined by naval mine clearing assets from both the United States and the UK. Patriot missile defense systems have also been ordered to deploy to the Gulf.
Maybe as a guard against North Korea seeing operations focused on Iran as a chance to be aggressive, a squadron of F-117 stealth fighters has just been deployed to Korea.
This has to be called escalation. We have to remind ourselves, just as Iran is supporting groups inside Iraq, the United States is supporting groups inside Iran. Just as Iran has special operations troops operating inside Iraq, we’ve read the United States has special operations troops operating inside Iran.
Just as Iran is supporting Hamas, two weeks ago we found out the United States is supporting arms for Abbas. Just as Iran and Syria are supporting Hezbollah in Lebanon we’re now learning the White House has approved a finding to allow the CIA to support opposition groups inside Lebanon. Just as Iran is supporting Syria, we’ve learned recently that the United States is going to fund Syrian opposition groups.
We learned this week the President authorized an attack on the Iranian liaison office in Irbil.
The White House keeps saying there are no plans to attack Iran. Obviously, the facts suggest otherwise. Equally as clear, the Iranians will read what the Administrations is doing not what it is saying.
It is possible the White House strategy is just implementing a strategy to put pressure on Iran on a number of fronts, and this will never amount to anything. On the other hand, if the White House is on a path to strike Iran, we’ll see a few more steps unfold.
First, we know there is a National Security Council staff-led group whose mission is to create outrage in the world against Iran. Just like before Gulf II, this media group will begin to release stories to sell a strike against Iran. Watch for the outrage stuff.
The Patriot missiles going to the GCC states are only part of the missile defense assets. I would expect to see the deployment of some of the European-based missile defense assets to Israel, just as they were before Gulf II.
I would expect deployment of additional USAF fighters into the bases in Iraq, maybe some into Afghanistan.
I think we will read about the deployment of some of the newly arriving Army brigades going into Iraq being deployed to the border with Iran. Their mission will be to guard against any Iranian movements into Iraq.
As one of the last steps before a strike, we’ll see USAF tankers moved to unusual places, like Bulgaria. These will be used to refuel the US-based B-2 bombers on their strike missions into Iran. When that happens, we’ll only be days away from a strike.
The White House could be telling the truth. Maybe there are no plans to take Iran to the next level. The fuel for a fire is in place, however. All we need is a spark. The danger is that we have created conditions that could lead to a Greater Middle East War.

The way that can be named is not the nameless way, the myriad creatures see this and know that it is so...

"There is an indefinable mysterious power that prevades everything. I feel it, though I do not see it. It is this unseen power which makes itself felt and yet defies all proof. It is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses, it transcends the senses.

"Even in ordinary affairs we know that people do not know who and how and why God is, and yet they know that there is a power that certainly moves them. That which informs our spirit is God and since nothing else that I see merely through the senses can or will persist, (s)he alone is.

"And this power, I see it as purely benevolent, for I can see that in the midst of death, life persists; in the midst of untruth, truth persists; in the midst of darkness, light persists..."

Canoe and paddle, blanket and knife, salt pork and flour (after Trudeau)

It involves a starting
rather than a parting

Although it assumes the breaking
its purpose is not
to destroy, but to lay
foundation and future

Every living act built
on this step

Next one

What is essential

The resolve to
reach saturation
a forever point

They should not be fooled
by periods of boredom
weariness or disgust

That is not the end
but obstacle

Saturation is
free

So you must for days,
for weeks, or perhaps
on end

My friend
you are obliged

On pain of death

Do more

It purifies you
inescapably

For it is a condition
that you entrust yourself

Stripped

The impossibility
of great scandal
creates a new
morality

The friendly
chiding of divinity
becoming
in everyday

My friend
could you say that about our adventure

Allow the fine dissection
and return not so much
a man who reasons more

But a more reasonable man
sustaining in the struggle against
a powerful universe

It wells from the heart
and stomach

Being of service

Later, that healthy
methodology and
acquired humility
will be useful

Rilke, art, etc.

this is from Robert Genn's Twice-weekly Newsletter:

In 1903, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke responded by letter to a
young man seeking his advice. Rilke eventually wrote ten
letters now collectively known and much published as "Letters
to a Young Poet." They are heartfelt advice from a successful
(but still struggling) artist to another who was deeply mired
in self-doubt.

Here, partly in direct quotation and partly in condensed summation, are some of
Rilke's ideas:

Your work needs to be independent of others' work.
You must not compare yourself to others.
No one can help you. You have to help yourself.
Criticism leads to misunderstandings and defeatism.
Work from necessity and your compulsion to do it.
Work on what you know and what you are sure you love.
Don't observe yourself too closely, just let it happen.
Don't let yourself be controlled by too much irony.
Live in and love the activity of your work.
Be free of thoughts of sin, guilt and misgiving.
Be touched by the beautiful anxiety of life.
Be patient with the unresolved in your heart.
Try to be in love with the questions themselves.
Love your solitude and try to sing with its pain.
Be gentle to all of those who stay behind.
Your inner self is worth your entire concentration.
Allow your art to make extraordinary demands on you.
Bear your sadness with greater trust than your joy.
Do not persecute yourself with how things are going.
It's good to be solitary, because solitude is difficult.
It's good to love, because love is difficult.
You are not a prisoner of anything or anyone.

Special Request

As you may or may not know, I have a solo show in the chang gallery here in S.Korea in mid-November. I have been thinking very hard what to paint and/or draw for this. When I was in Winnipeg in the first little while (during my "vacation") I reveled in the sight of Winnipeg winter-culture. People all dressed up with scarves tightly wrapped around their heads, Jackets zipped up to the nose, Toques, mittens, and so on. I thought I would like to share this with my friends here as a part of our culture, what makes us the hearty, Winnipeggers we are (well, at least partly). Unfortunately, and I can't believe I'm saying this, the weather was quite mild during my stay, and I didn't get any good photos of people freezing their buts off =). So, I was wondering if anyone could help me with references. I wanted people bundled up at bus stops, shoveling their driveways, or just walking down the street puffing frosty air out of their belaclavas or whatnot (full body shots would be ideal). I know there has been some photos of snow on the blog already, and those pictures were nice, but I'd like some more anonymous images (hence the scarves and neck warmers idea) and somehow depicting the sevre cold (maybe some frosty eyebrows or face-cicles). If you would be so kind as to post an image or two, or email me something expressing permission for me to use it in my art, I would be eternally greatfull (or at least for a good long while).

Stories/Archives/history

In a sense we read the world as a text, and, logically, such readings are infinite. By which I do not mean that we just make up stories about the world/the past (that is, that we know the world/the past and then make up stories about them) but rather the claim is a much stronger one; that the world/the past comes to us always already as stories and that we cannot get out of those stories (narratives) to check if they correspond to the real world/past, because these 'always already' narratives constitute 'reality'....Different sociologists and historians interpret the same phenomenon differently through discourses that are always on the move, that are always being de-composed and re-composed; are always positioned and positioning, and which thus need constant self-examination as discourses by those who use them.

Keith Jenkins (1991) from Rethinking History. (p. 9)
