the bay on a bleary friday...


The sparkling lights, the serene ships, dance peacefully, in the intense iridescent orange sunset, hanging over a beautiful bay. The glassy surface water, is a melting pot of hyper-colour; oranges, purples, blues, and the reddest reds, run rampant across the top, watching the highly lucid liquid, as a cyclist sways to a stop, taking in the startling sight. The old queer four-rod fisherman, wheels his reel quickly, oblivious to the beauty on the event horizon. I’ve gone through the end of the tunnel, into the light and I’m delighted, the technicolour dreamshow, the light is here.

ban the bomb...

I know I never write about anything but Obama...
but...

On Friday, the UN adopted a resolution that aims to rid the world of nuclear arms within our lifetime:
"a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought...no matter how great the obstacles may seem, we must never stop our efforts to reduce the weapons of war...we must never stop until we see the day when nuclear arms have been banished from the face of the earth. That is our task. That can be our destiny." - President Obama addressing the UN Security Council - 25th Sep. 2009.

WOW.
I'm still worried that Obama is jerking his shitty American-made car so suddenly towards the left-hand lane that the oncoming right-wing traffic that still careers along the status-quo side of the road is going to obliterate his administration in a nasty head-on propaganda incident... But rhetoric like that is just too inspiring to get negative about. The resolution was passed unanimoussly by the UN Security Council.

Total nuclear disarmament is a notion that would have been beyond the wildest realms of possibility during the cold war, or even during the years of the Bush administration. We can only hope and pray that world leaders have the sense to diplomatically negotiate practical strategies for stockpile reduction and disarmament. When hell freezes over with a nuclear winter you say? You're probably right, but talk like this is a serious step in the direction of hope.


THEY SAY:
BAN THE BOMBS,
NO MORE NUKES,
MAKE LOVE NOT WAR.
YOU SAY:
HEY WAR-WHORES,
FUCK YOUR GUNS,
YOU CUNTS SHOOT BLANKS.
I SAY:

BONGS ARE BETTER THAN BULLETS,
DROP BEATS NOT BOMBS,
MAKE CURRIED SAUSAGES, NOT WAR.

sordid sunset...


i sat sipping slowly on the foreshore,
staring at the brutally beautiful,
oblivious to the beauty,
the sky she was iridescent orange,
as the ocean sprayed her with explosive sea-mist,
yet i found myself fiddling,
fiddling with my useless human possession,
eyes burn holes in feet,
an empty bottle of beer,
unable to think forward,
unable to think of anything,
but myself,
my stuff,
and who the bottle of beer belonged to,
i gave up and wandered home holding my grudge.

horribly exciting/worrying words...

obama on letterman last night...

check out the rest of the interview, it is all over youtube...


As you may have already noticed, the mention of obama kinda gives me a boner. I don't truly believe that he is going to change the world anywhere near the amount that it needs to change in order for to the human race to feel okay about the way we conduct ourselves. The system will still be the system. I just feel that he may steer the system in a slightly more humane direction.


It's amazing to see an American leader who, at least at face value, seems to care about the plight and suffering of the "lower" echelons of American society. Hearing an American president denounce Washington's obesession with maintaining the status quo; stating that "the status quo is unacceptable", and that "I will not accept the status quo as a solution", is pretty exciting stuff.


Much of the rhetoric Obama espoused on Letterman was ideologically driven; there was alot of talk of "the left", "the centre-left", the "centre-right", and so on. The above quotes signalling his intent to create "change" came as a defence of his "socialist" healthcare reforms. He certainly doesn't seem to be afraid of aligning himself with the liberal, humanist ideologies of "the left".


While all this talk of steering the ship to the left may seem to be a reason for the liberally minded population to celebrate, I'm not sure that it is the sanest political philosophy.


As Bush demonstrated, the American electorate is massively susceptible to a good old fashioned political scare campaign, and as I have written before, the conservatives are already beggining to paint Obama as a communist who is going to steal from the rich and eat their babies.


In addition to the healthcare reforms, the administration is changing the way it deals with national defence policy. Where previously America has generally adopted the ideology of force-and-threats-over-diplomacy, Obama is attempting to push a far more negotiations-based approach for America's influence in the sphere of international diplomatic relations.


The administration last week took a drastic diplomatic measure of scrapping plans for a missle defence system that was planned for construction in eastern Europe, pretty much on Russia's doorstep. The Russian's were massively agrravated by the plans, which were supposedly designed to protect the western world from missile attack from rogue states such as Iran and North Korea.


In another more rationally-minded parallel dimension, this might be seen as an effort to reduce the perception of America as an overly-aggressive nation of war-mongers in the international consciousness.


But on this planet..


Withdrawing plans to build so-called "national defence" sytems, especially after being pressured by Russia to do so, seems to me to be giving the conservatives perfect ammunition to carpet bomb the American public with "Obama is a weakling and a communist" propaganda.


Schwarzenegger-Palin 2012?

********
Bonus Bush:

********
UPDATE 24/09/09:
I woke up this morning to find this article; apparently Obama is deadly serious about eliminating the threat of nuclear war: 

"Obama has this week demanded that the Pentagon conduct a radical review of the US nuclear weapons doctrine with the explicit aim of slashing its nuclear arsenal. The President rejected the first draft of the Pentagon's Nuclear Posture Review on the grounds that it was too timid in advancing his aim of eventually ridding the world of nuclear weapons."
Again, Obama is expressing some amazing ambitions, but is he professing too much peace-and-love too soon to an American people who surely still uphold a passion for guns, xenophobia, and holy-wars? The world hasn't changed that drastically with the election of a black president has it? Obama  seems to hang his hat on the fact that he was elected in the first place as sign that the times they are a-changin'. As his plummeting approval rate amongst the wealthy white population seems to indicate, it won't take very much for the American public to swing back very hard in the direction of a conservative political doctrine if they fear for their money and national security...

the french know how to do it...


One of the most high-profile political court cases in, well, the history of the world begins in France today. A list of plaintiffs that includes President Nicholas Sarkozy and the current head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, are pursuing defamation charges against ex-Frech-PM Dominique de Villepin. The base of the case closely remembles the moronic "utegate" scandal; only with far more intense claims of deceipt and corruption, and instead of a rural QLD car dealership at the centre of the story, we have one of the worlds most powerful aerospace engineering companies...

European continental politics make Autralia's scandals seem so quaint and backwards. The best we can do is awkward Kevin from Nambour being set-up, via a bitchy lunch-break fake email, falsely accused with giving a leg up to an old mate's struggling middle-of-nowhere used-car dealership. Who cares? The French have Dominique, born in Morrocco and raised in the French Riveira, accused of framing, amongst others, the future President of France and the future leader of the international organisation that oversees the global financial system. No middle-management email shenanigans in the Paris criminal court either; this character is alleged to be the author of a legal contract that was leaked to the press and later found to be completely fabricated, that includes the names and signatures of Sarkozy and Strauss-Khan, implicating them in a scandal involving massive bribery and corruption in the sale of French naval frigates to Taiwan. They don't fuck around on the Champs-Elysees do they? De Villepin will certainly be aware of that as he takes to the very same court stand in the historic criminal court where Marie Antoinette was sentenced to death by guillotine during the French Revolution 200-odd years ago.

weird=welcome...

bizarre dreamscapes surge,
up and down,
either side of no man’s road.

i’m made sea sick,
by the urgency of the sock tie’s,
need for normality.

best friends berate the bizarre,
deride the different,
asking the question why?
while I ask, why not?

don’t snigger and scorn,
delightful deranged dribbling,
and ducks,
I am eternally intrigued by.

its a wide open road,
don’t tread slowly,
the narrowest path of normalcy,
this most insane course of action,
can't feed a drag racing brain.

the thought of touching tongues,
with one who doesn’t toe the white line,
gives them fever,
similar thoughts give me a different fever,
the fever that Ella Fitzgerald sings to me.

furrowed brows and surly frowns,
follow our fun,
our fucked up antics,
down the too straight streets,
no one but us understands,
the stupid secrets which we speak,
no one can find what we seek.
the need for now grows week by week.

obama get raw with his wall street niggaz...

Obama's speech to a congregation of politicians and wall street sharks on the first anniversary of the collapse of thee Lehman Brothers and the beginning of the stock market crash:
http://www.crikey.com.au/2009/09/15/obama-lays-into-wall-st/
"there are some in the financial industry who are misreading this moment.  Instead of learning the lessons of Lehman and the crisis from which we’re still recovering, they’re choosing to ignore those lessons.  I’m convinced they do so not just at their own peril, but at our nation’s.  So I want everybody here to hear my words:  We will not go back to the days of reckless behavior and unchecked excess that was at the heart of this crisis, where too many were motivated only by the appetite for quick kills and bloated bonuses.  Those on Wall Street cannot resume taking risks without regard for consequences"
Ohhhh sheeet. Oh yes he did. You go girlfriend. Tell those greedy-arse blood thirsty American Psychos what's what and if they step out of line pull out yo piece and pop a cap in their over-bloated piggy banks. Then retire back to the back yard of the White Cribb for a BBQ and to shoot hoops at your bad-ass street-ball setup that you knocked up in place of Georgie Dubya's white trash bowling alley. You da man. Pity you still either believe or pretend to believe in the free market and global capitalism. Oh well, pobody's nerfect I suppose.

splitting the atom...



following up on my post from the other day...
i've got my hands on the new Massive Attack EP, Splitting the Atom
it is sounding amazing...

the title track resonates eerily...

"Pray for Rain", as i've already described, is delightfully slinky and soulful...

the last two tracks that appear on the EP are supposedly remixed versions of tracks set to appear on the band's long-awaited fifth studio album, slated to drop in February.

"psyche" features the spaced-out vocals of Martina Topley-Bird and the track's dark, bloopy production remind me warmly of one of my other favourite electronic releases of this year, Karin Dreijer Andersson's Fever Ray.

but the track that currently has me going slightly loopy is the final track from the EP, "Bulletproof Love (Christoff Berg Remix)". the vocals here are supplied by Elbow frontman Guy Garvey, although the downtrodden production renders his distinctive voice almost unrecognisable. it will be interesting to see how the "original" track sounds on the album, because this remix is going to be hard to match. swirling synths and echoe-chamber effects evoking clanging steel and urban industrialisation laid over a pulsating, muddy beat.

This slots perfectly into my "walking around at night music" file.
Somewhere very near the top of the pile.

DDownloaDD:
MassiveAttack - Bulletproof Love (Christoff Berg Remix)

matters of blood and guts and sweat....

on the city station,
waiting for her tawdry trip,
middle suburbia,
why wont you?
dream while you're waiting,
another foreigner in a foreign land,
our lonliness compares not with theirs,
for they know something else.

many things should be better,
the echoes of urban isolation through dislocation,
ring rowdy in the ears,
those escaping what they have always known,
from babble to bar-room brawls,
the inner city stickers of information,
tell me how to live my life,
whether i want them to or what.

the barbaric blonde,
allures my seduction in just one click,
as the 370degree muzzle,
shifts my apple into overdrive,
before the echoes of others' pages paddles,
through the wall canals of my carriage.

the dancing rock beats of my bud ears,
remind me of the depraved dancefloors,
of my final few years,
filling me with yearning,
for simpler times,
of my mental emotional make-up.

moving part of the way,
down the confuddled path,
matters of  blood and guts and sweat,
paint the walls a more confusing colour of purple,
there is no way of knowing how.

attempting to know the knowledge,
just the tiniest titch,
fries the mind,
a tiny answer to a tiny question,
spawns a million more.

yearning for the dark,
only skin deep,
everytime a'yearning,
for know nothing naive darkness,
the phone dials a source of study light,
the need for knowledge of another,
superceeding and effectively eliminating,
the nature of the romantic luddite.

inside my somewhat childish mind,
it keeps drawing back to flimsy foppish fun,
searching for something that matters,
grand schemes for the skull's soul.

limp wristed ferals and bone-headed thugs...



http://www.theage.com.au/environment/police-tactics-under-fire-at-hazelwood-20090913-fm7b.html

This sort of story pisses me off for a variety of reasons.
Firstly, I'm against the use of brown coal technologies and all for rapid investment in clean, renewable energy sources. This is the simplest, fastest, most ethical way to combat climate change. The only thing stopping mass investment in renewables is societies worship of the almighty dollar over the health of our environment. The biggest mistake of all is the idea that putting off decisive action on climate change for the sake of the economy will lead to future economic stability. That is like prescribing smoking as a treatment for obesity. The money will all melt when the planet explodes people, of that you can be sure. I'm also all for protesting and demonstrating and using any means possible to draw attention to the dire situation.
BUT...
Yes, it is a very big but.
The hair-brained half-arsed lackadaisical patchouli stinking morons fucked it up. Again.
Firstly, if you are fair-dinkum and believe in your cause, you have to be willing to take risks to raise awareness. Breaking into Australia's highest polluting coal-fired power station and hand the operators a fake decomission notice, signed, The Australian People? Perfect. Media storm, high-profile court cases, public outrage and empathy, consider your awareness raised, motherfuckers.
BUT...
This particular batch of flea-ridden bonged-out eco-warriors are so incapable of any form of energy, let alone bravery, that they felt the need to inform Victoria Police of the exact date, time, and location of their carefully planned and orchestrated guerilla "break-in". I mean come on kiddies, HARDEN THE FUCK UP. This is Australia, you're not going to get chopped down by AK-47's for jumping over a fence. Yes, the bonehead country coppers might give you a little slap and tickle, but grow some balls and deal with it. Its not right, but it is all that is to be expected.
SO...
Instead of jumping your the little fence and getting yourself into a position to cause some serious mischeif that would cause people to sit up and take notice, you phone in your presence to the pigs. Then you stand around your little farm fence which is now surrounded by a  "...huge police presence, with officers on trail bikes, horses and in helicopters", waving your little plastic signs and yelling, until every so often when one of the dumb young male mung-beans gets desperate enough to big-note himself in front of the female flea-bag populace that he heroically throws himself at the fence. Only to be beaten down by the army of cops in choppers. Well done hero, point proved. It comes as no suprise to me that the only police officer injured in this little dalliance was a female.
THAT SAID...
I'm totally against any excessive use of force by police in any situation. Fuck Tha' Police.

New news...

Fairfax launched its new "opinion" site today over at National Times.
The website looks as though it will have fantastic content and has the potential to be a powerful forum for political debate.
Blogs by Tom Arup (environment), Michael Epis (politics, sport, culture), Karl Quinn (culture and the arts), and John Birmingham (social commentary, bucket bongs, egomania, the drudgery of marriage, QLD) promise to provide fun and vibrant forums for discussions with a nicely varying degree of seriousnesss. Add to this a roster of high quality, publicly respected journalists such as Michelle Grattan and Kenneth Davidson, the site looks a powerful online news and opinion publication.
Still, the question needs to be asked... Why it is neceassary to start a splinter-site to deal with real political issues and argument?
Should this not be one of the primary functions of The Age's main website?
It seems to me that by sequestering serious political debate and discourse from the main news site, Fairfax is opening the way for the focus of their online figurehead to be dragged in the direction of empty, sensationalist news and masses-pleasing fluff sections such as travel, beauty, entertainment, and the cars guide.
I am feeling that National Times should be the coverpage for Fairfax, and the Age online's current cover should be a secondary site, located at www.theage.com/tabloidmagazine..

http://www.theage.com.au/world/thousands-rally-against-obama-government-20090913-flws.html

I know I'm on the same "what the fuck is wrong with americans?" tangent as the other day but...
I'm finding it infuriating that both the Obama administration and Rudd government have had to spend half of the week fending off accusations of having "socialist" or "left-centric" political ideologies.


Obama attempts to reform America's ailing health system and gets depicted by the christian right as the second coming of Che Guevara. "He is a traitor. He's either a Marxist or a Communist and we're not. He's totally un-American," Ms Calzone said." These rednecks obviously don't have even the slightest semblance of understanding of the policy being debated. They know only that Obama is trying to steal their hard-inherited fortunes and dole it out to disgusting poor people like one of those damn commies their uncle's love to talk about shooting.

Wayne Swann talks bank regulation in question time, so Joe Hockey jumps on his iPhone mid-sitting to conspire with the twitterverse about the left-leaning nature of the majority of finance ministers at the G20 summit. Rudd is forced to spend the majority of the next day in the house waxing some hard-style empty political rhetoric about his government's fresh and factionless core and denouncing Howard era "neo-liberalism" in an attempt to stamp out any potential ideological fear campaign from the opposition.

For fuck's sake. Debate the issues; your ideologies are all fucked regardless.

Apparently Rudd may be considering re-introducing the bill to means test the private healthcare rebate to parliament in December in an attempt to force a double-dissolution election.... It seems that "socialist" health care reforms are going to be front and centre of both American and Australian politics for some time to come...

pray for rain...




You can stream the new Massive Attack track Pray for Rain...
here.
via Stereogum
The track comes from their Splitting The Atom EP, out 5th of October. A full LP of new material is expected to drop in mid-late February 2010.
Pray For Rain features the distinctive vocals of TV On The Radio's Tunde Adebimpe simultaneously star-gazing and naval-gazing laying over a haunting trip-hop backdrop. Deliciously slinky and smooth.
A perfect song for prowling the streets at night.

new thom yorke solo tracks...

A live accoustic performance from 2005 of "FeelingPulledApartbyHorses", one of the two new tracks being released on September 21st under the frontman's solo moniker at the Radiohead's W.A.S.T.E. store:



Pretty stunning, I feel. This song looks like it has the potential to be an amazing single.

Apparently, the song has been kicking around since 2001. The track will feature Radiohead guitarist Johnny Greenwood, but is being released on a new Thom Yorke double-a side vinyl release. The flipside will be a song titled "The Hollow Earth", which was started when he was recording his amazing 2006 solo album Eraser, but apparently required "time to develop". According to Thom, the lines between band projects and more solo-oriented work are blurring more and more, with ideas originating with the intention of band devlopement ending up in the solo creative sphere with any combination of band members and outside musicians involved, and vice versa. The band have also indicated that they won't be working on a traditional LP anytime in the immediate future, preferring to work on single tracks or possibly some EP-style projects. One idea thrown out by Yorke was the notion of an EP of his vocals accompanied by orchestral arrangements composed and arranged by Johhny and himself. OOOOOH. Is it likely that any of these new productions and products and projects and performances will be anyhing less than amazing? Not really, no.

wising up to the ways of white america


http://www.theage.com.au/world/obama-honeymoon-over-as-loyal-supporters-lose-heart-20090907-feby.html

This was a horrible article to read to begin my day. Obama's approval rating with white Americans is dropping like um's and ah's from George Bush's donkey-with-down syndrome mouth. Fast and furious. The percentage of the population that he managed to persuade to vote for a black man even though they didn't really want to has pretty much turned the page and realise the folly of their ways. They knew in their hearts that Bush was a bad-man (not BATMAN) and America needed real "change". Obama screamed that word loud enough and long enough that eventually they caved in and voted for something different even though they had no idea what the change would entail. They just knew they wanted something else. Now that he is trying to cure America's sick and sadistic health care system and reform the unfair elitist education system, the conservatives all scream "socialist" and every cookie-cutter-white-bread Miss and Mr. Americana jump of the bandwagon kicking and screaming and clutching their dollars. I wish he was a real socialist and I wish the American people would let him act like one so that the world could be at the very least a slightly less fucked up place. I wrote this after he was elected:

The gears of war,
on the evening news,
seem to be grinding down,
through a few of their teeth.
Still no hope of a decent world,
but are we seeing glimmers,
of a slightly better style?
The problem will be on the flipside.
Be it one, two, or three,
what will follow is what frightens me.
Will the successor represent,
the pendulum-axe of the reactionary people?
Will every positive action,
have its future cousin reaction of evil?
I hope for the first time,
what goes up,
will keep rising.
Believing in breaking the laws of physics,
isn't my style,
but for some reason,
I can't help but hold hope.
Holding out hope for the future,
is different to religion right?

Fail. I was wrong. The world is fucked.
Unfuck the world!

Apathy is easy,
resistance is futile,
change is impossible,
hope is useless,
while money is power,
and hegemony dominates.
FUCK.

set them now...

as i watch from way too close
on stage
appearing raggedly ecstatic
but close your eyes
feel every dense aural aura
the desolation and doom denounce the light
as they set their sights on shred
and kill your senses
with a sonic wall the weight of lead

Don't fall. Please don't fall.

With one leg I enclose an unknown beauty,
in the corner of the boom,
with the other I lash a violent shot,
into the already rotten ribs,
of the disgustingly derelict hound,
that plagues my mind,
with second floor balcony doubt,
and the fear of falling.

going on a bender...

Heading towards the fun,
in the warm northern sun,
sliding through the sugar cane,
the warming beer and drunken cheer,
dilute the sullen sunset,
with wave after wave,
of serene shades of pink and red.
Drive north forwards fast to renew,
pleasant yet half-arsed old acquaintances,
while the real tea storm brews down south.
We hide not from the full front of the storm,
but rather bide our time in the tranquillity of the north,
to allow the psychotic psychotropic subtropical trip-fest time,
to develop the debauchery to its fullest potential,
before we unleash the gods of war,
along the hell-bent heath,
of the lands of southern north coast exposure.
Time to kill in these parts is time to waste,
but not time to want everything.
The search for the unknown is much braver,
than the search for the already known and unwanted.
