Portishead - Undenied
Your softly whispered words
Have freed my desire entirely
It's undeniable
Totally
Undeniable
And my heart has found itself so exposed that I can no longer hide it, not even a little
But then, where has my heart truly belonged?
To your tender grasp
My senses are gathered
Ohh with what strength
Around my desire
Because my heart is unadorned and there's no need to hide it
So where is the origin of my heart?
Now that I have found you
And looked into your eyes
How can I once again
Move forward?
Because you have touched my heart too deeply and it can no longer defend itself
So where has my heart truly set out from? Towards whom does it go?
Whose does it belong to?
Whose does it belong to?

Sly & The Family Stone "Everyday People & Dance To The Music" on The Ed Sullivan Show

#edsullivanshow

From 1948 to 1971, every Sunday night Ed Sullivan hosted the biggest and most famous artists on his show, aired on CBS. About a decade ago, re-released in 12 DVDs, an Italian newspaper published the best performances. I'm sharing them with you again; there are some truly wonderful things!

Billy Nomates - No ..I walk into the gym for a spinning session, sure that on Saturday at 6 PM there wouldn’t be a single soul around. Instead, I find 4 losers - who don’t know shit - completely absorbed in talking about tax deductions, windows, heat pumps.. just screw off!! I blast the music in my headphones, I curse you and your damn deductions. Bleah!

The Cure "Why Can't I Be You?"
I was thinking about the Cure for a while too. Notice the video, how ahead of their time they were.

What can we learn from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict?

These days, among us comrades, we hear all sorts of things. Some, driven by superficial humanitarian motivations, send aid or fully support Ukraine’s aggressive, nationalist, and pro-NATO cause without even realizing it. Others, whether confused Stalinists, red-brown individuals, or conspiracy theorists, genuinely believe that Russian interests, being anti-imperialist against the Yankees, promote social progress and even antifascism (hahaha). It all boils down to a Manichean view where the rightful criticism of Gramscian indifference turns instead into a sports-style cheering, where you root for one side or the other just like when as children your teacher asked if you preferred Athens or Sparta (I’ve always rooted for the latter). The great absent from every discussion on this matter is the class consciousness of the comrade you’re speaking with and, in reality, ours as well.

Inevitably, in discussing the conflict, historical and geopolitical reasons are laid on the table, where an attentive comrade on these topics might find that one less country in the Yankee imperialist orbit is still a point gained. Nonetheless, the real politics are left outside the door. A true comrade faced with events like this should always remember Lenin’s lesson, who while advocating for proletarian neutrality in the conflict among nations during World War I, killed two birds with one stone by leading the proletarian revolution in his own country, still largely feudal at the time.

So the lesson remains the same and spans over a century: THINK OF OURSELVES! And this does not mean reaching a Buddhist-like individual and social awareness, but rather thinking of our own interests as the interests of the social class we belong to. While we waste our time believing we are the statesmen who can debate geopolitics (as if we were the ones deciding anything), it would be better to tune our antennas and analyze the present situation and the consequences these events can have in our lives. The certain facts for us are few: an executive (Draghi and Co.) that is now always imposed from above, desperately seeking a solidity that is acceptable for the European and international economic system, reinforcing the authority of our local capitalists and lobbies, who while they weep poverty on TV and claim to be spokespersons for who knows what reforms through their political puppets, are actually rubbing their hands at the absence of real social conflict (no vax and no green pass are merely the other side of conformity) that the previous years have imposed and will continue to impose thanks to various states of emergency, now as necessary as requests for trust.

While they further impoverish us by exploiting us doubly, we should realize that the first real enemy is the salary that keeps us from ending up under the bridges (for now). THINK ONLY OF

THE PASSIONS snow 1980
Produced by the legendary Fiction Records, just like the early Cure. Because in West London there were not only Westwood and the Pistols, but also those who, amidst economic decay and the decline of the City, could still scratch your soul with that glossy echoplex.

In my latent bipolarity, I feel like placing Tool after DCD! Big guitars for forced awakening!
