Wright and Hirst

Today is a day that I truly want to go back to bed on another gray cold, technically summer morning in Sweden.

Because in the span of 5 minutes of waking up I have felt sadness, madness, rage and depression.......

Sadness because I found out that Rick Wright, founding member and keyboardist for Pink Floyd died of cancer yesterday. The man wrote "Us and Them" and "The great gig in the sky" to which the latter song never seemed more approriate than today.....

Genzoman wites it better that I could here:

Madness because I then read that somebody bought a pickled real-life bull with gold horns and hooves in formaldehyde for $18 million dollars US AND a real life pickle tiger shark for $17.5 million dollars US.

Yup! That's nearly THIRTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS for what is basically a sick and perverse lab experiement...

That when RAGE kicked in! THIRTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS people!!! 36!!!!! For what? ART? That's not ART! That's glorified taxidermy!!!

WTF!!!!! C'mon! can you imagine how many arts and education and social programs you could support in poor inner cities with that much cash? Can you imagine how many people you CAN FEED with that money!

You f***ing MORONS!! You spent THIRTY SIX Million DOLLARS on what is bascally picked beef tongue and pickled herring. I can buy a jar of each at the local food market for $5 bucks......

And that's when DEPRESSION hit and I'm going back to bed and hide away from this stupid, stupid world!!!!!

Musical brain farts!

Musical brain farts.

Let me explain. This is what I call it when for no rational or logical reason some obscure song or bit of music pops into my head or I wake up in the morning with it and usually makes me go : "Where the hell did that one come from!"

It's not a new song that I just heard or one of my all time favs, I mean it's usually songs that I hate, or some TV jingle from my youth or what really perplexes me is when it's a song that I don't really know or am quite indifferent to.

Examples:

"Swollow my Pride" by the Ramones. Much coolness here as I am a big Ramones fan but don't know why I wokre with it in my head this morning.

"Worst things that I can do." from the Grease soundtrack sung by Stockard Channing. I'm not a musical fan.I'm not really much of a Grease fan and haven't listened to the soundtrack or seen the movie in years.

"Gaslight village" theme. This one is out there. I mean Gaslight Village was a an amusement park on the Canadian USA border when I growing up in the 70's ( NO OLD FART JOKES!). It's been close, I believe, for 20 odd years so I don't know where this won came out of!!!!

I keep thinking that my brain is this 70's old school computer with limited data storage space and that brain farts are just useless facts that are being deletd to create space for all the new Swedish words that I am learning.

Oh great....now I got "GAslight Village" stuck in my head again! Oh well gotta go have breakfast.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaslight village! Yesterdays fun todaaaaaaay!!!!!! Dodi-oh do, dodi-oh do, do do!!!!

Durer....

Just sitting here looking at old Durer prints from the Middle Ages and realising that he probably would have not as gotten has much done or do such elaborate engravings if he too had access to Youtube on his computer......but then again there would have been a lot less funny animal and old MTV videos back then so it even s out then............

Bon. Je suis assis, en train de regarder les merveilleuses gravures de Durer et je réalise que problement qu'il n'en auraient pas pas fait autant si il avait access à Youtube...mais il faut aussi dire qu'il y aura pas eu autant de vidéos de bébittes hyper cutes et de vieux clips de Musique Plus........
