Black Dice are probably the only band of the noise-pop scene that actually deserve both there qualificative of noise and of pop ! Its heavy and its light, its happy but its rough, and most of all they have a wicked amount of weird sounds.

[7.] What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Mhhh... relationship ? Or maybe getting a place in Richmond ?
[8.] What was your biggest failure?
my grades from last year.I still dont know how much was my fault and how much was just the teacher being a dick. In doubt i consider it was my fault.

few days of cold and other inconsequent illnesses.

[C] Richer or poorer? Prolly richer as i dont rent any longer
[17.] What do you wish you'd done less of?
I could have done a bit less partying in the first half of the year. I am glad i got rid of the need for going out every weekend.

I spent it in Ruta's family in Latvia, eating strange local xmas food and getting exciting pressies. Not really.

Me + Myself
[33.] Which celebrity did you fancy the most?

Cant saya any such issue stirred me but well as usual i am interested in terrorism and other meeting points of traditional and post modern societies...
[35.] Who did you miss?
Annike, Rodrigo, Olivia, Gemma
so thats 2008.
what i want 2009 to bring:
Good chances to get a job at Richmond, a well paid weekend job, new experiences on various levels, a solution to the gf problem, good grades at school (bad start) and more intellectually challenging friends.
predicted fashion style for 2009:
Hopefully a more tailored style if i can afford it, that will be completed with a comeback to alternative hairstyle. I am afraid tho that a tailored wardrobe might take me a few years to afford...

 'Troublemaker' by Stefano Unterthiner, winner in the Animal Portraits category, 'Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2008'
No link at all (i swear it is a fortuitous coincidence) but those of you who heard of the recent trend of african/maghrebin electro world might want to hear my selection on the matter :
http://www.last.fm/music/Amadou%2B%2526%2BMariam is called afro blues, but the influences are much more varied. + I love Mali and dogon culture (one of the most advanced form of tribal religions)
http://www.last.fm/music/U-cef Imagine acid dub meet soufism with a rap ish singing, but with a ritual feel. Really innovative in many ways
We went a long way since Afrikaa Bambaata lol

" This realistic image, however, does not catch at all what really is, but what should not be - death and misery - what should not exist, from our moral and humanistic point of view. And at the same time making an aesthetic and commercial, perfectly immoral use and abuse of this misery. Images that actually testify, behind their pretended "objectivity", of a deep denial of the real, and of an equal denial of the image - assigned to present what does not even want to be represented, assigned to the rape of the real by burglary. "
Jean Baudrillard, The Violence of the Image
I am quite glad i did spent some time researching this particular school project. Even tho i didnt had the time to do much more than read a few chapters of the many books i sourced, mainly in order to pick witty quotes, i found a lot of people putting in words some of my thought much better than i would. This particular quote about realistic image is what the grief i always kept against the aesthetics of both HxC and Power Electronics movements ! But he, no matter how fictional it is it still give you this rush of being close to the unspeakable reality, or at least the rush to strive for it. I guess that this is the very essence of this form of political provocation.

Thanks to having internet at home i finally can start listening to some new music (i really had exhausted the electro-pop folder of Ruta lol) ; And thanks to last.fm i discovered a lot of new and newish bands and artists that i really enjoy :
Glenn Branca is one of those artists who started out in the no wave noise scene and grew into contemporary "classical" and experimental music : his concerto for hundred electric guitars is quite something and i really hope to see him live one of those days...
