from http://www.nineninenine.net/englishwipeoutnews.htm

Early 1979 saw 99 tour the USA, an achievement in itself as they were still without a USA record deal at the time! The response was ecstatic and a deal with Polydor sealed.

After two albums 999 left United Artists, recorded a further 10 albums and to date have completed 13 USA tours, 87 London gigs, 26 UK tours and 19 European tours. An impressive tally from one of the most outstanding bands of their generation.


from http://www.nineninenine.net/Biography.htm

The second album "Separates" was released and immediately the single "Homicide" leapt straight into the UK top forty without any Radio airplay and was banned by the BBC and most radio stations.

Early 1979 saw the band embarking on their first U.S. tour, which was an achievement in itself, as they were still without a record deal in America at the time. Response to the band was ecstatic, all the venues being filled and import albums being sold out in a rush of enthusiasm. The band were immediately booked for a return trip.


from http://www.hiljaiset.sci.fi/punknet/999_e.htm

In end of 1978 LaBritain injuried in a car accident and was replaced by Ed Case who was band's long time fan. In March 1979 they made first American tour - not so successful. After the tour LaBritain came back to drums, but Ed was sill some kind of fifth member of the band.

After UA 999 recorded to several record label but had only minor success with Albion in the beginning of 80's.

from 999's article

End of 1979: Ed Case temporarily replaces an injured Pablo Labritain on drums. Spring 1980: Labritain returns after injury.

999 toured widely in the United States and the band was rewarded when their albums The Biggest Prize In Sport and Concrete charted on the Billboard 200. In the US, "Homicide" & "Hollywood" garnered frequent rotation on Rock of the 80s format radio stations like KROQ in Los Angeles. According to Dave Thompson, "For many Americans, they were the first to actually bother with the backwoods, playing places which other Brit bands hadn't heard of, and returning to them again and again. And while no one knows how many American bands were first inspired to take up arms by 999, those that did still wear their loyalties loudly."[1]

The following notes were taken from the liner notes inside the Anagram CD (reproduced here with absolutely no permission whatsoever)

Boys In the Gang

Good old Ed Case thumpin' the tubs for the first time 'cos poor Pablo broke his arm. Ed was only 17 and driving vans for a living. He did his first gig with us in Germany without a rehearsal 'coz he was in the Southall Crew (our boys and girls) anf knew all the songs by heart. His first gig was at the S.O.36 club in Berlin in front of 2,000 people. He played great and when I told the audience he was only 17 and joined yesterday with no rehearsal they clapped and cheared him for about 10 minutes solid. He never went back to driving vans again.

Inside Out

Life on the street in 1980 feeling a bit paranoid and screwed up etc. Did the community care? Who wasn't inside out?

Trouble

Saturday night, you're out, the band's playing, anything could happen and it usually did. 'Always looking over yer shoulder' to this shankin', skatellite, sound.

So Long

Guy waiting for his train.

Fun Thing

Guy having fun - Jon and I hopping in unison across the stage together!

Biggest Prize In Sport

Well you can't help it if you wake up in the morning with a hard on can you? Trust them to take the title literally and use it as the theme music for the International Windsurf Championships.

Hollywood

Our first trip to Hollywood, USA - a New Wave Judith Chalmers holiday whistle stop tour which blew a few illusions.

Stranger

An existential 999 - eh what! 999

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

English Wipeout

Most Top Rank establishments throughout the country were completely trashed after the gigs and the managers found out that 999 and it's audience were absolutely nothing like the Rubettes and their audience.

Shake

Shakin' all over.

Boiler

Ode to transsexual shemales in Detroit

Made A Fool Of You

Penned by Jon 'The Nail' Watson, a good bloke to have in a tight spot. He once save dour bacon at the Lafayette Club, Wolverhamption, by fearlessly putting himself and his bass between between us and an audience intent on beating the shit out of us.

Found Out Too Late

Recorded overnight between bouts of mammoth world touring.

Lie Lie Lie

What can I say. Some people do and some people don't. Guy and I wrote this after a good session in a pub in Streatham.

Review by Steve "Spaz" Schnee

After two terrific albums with United Artists, the boys in 999 signed a deal with Polydor and released what is now considered as their finest full length LP, "The Biggest Prize In Sport". While still a 'punk' band, 999 were born during the pub scene and had more meat on their musical bones than most punks, and instead of turning away from their punk sound, they simply refined it. Upon first listening to this album, many folks were amazed to find out that 999 were a great rock n roll band, punk or no punk. The edges are still there, but they are more well-rounded this time out thanks to producer Vic Maile. The anthemic "Boys In The Gang" starts off the set in style (but 999 always knew how to kickstart an album). "Inside Out", with Guy Days' twisted guitar riff, picks up the pace. Although "Trouble" slows things down with it's reggae groove, it's such a great change of pace (Nick Cash's wail sounds similar to the Specials' Terry Hall on this track). "Fun Thing" has a great little hook and a powerful guitar solo that will grab you by the balls. "Hollywood", about their first trip to California, received solid airplay in the U.S., and has remained a 999 classic ever since. "Stop! Stop!" is a bouncy little bubblegum punk nugget. Practically every track a classic, Anagram's 1995 reissue adds three bonus trax, making this a must have for anyone interested in the punk and new wave scene of the late '70s and early '80s.

  • Robbins, Ira. "999". Trouser Press.

The Biggest Prize in Sport teamed 999 (temporarily a five-piece, having added a second drummer to aid the injured Pablo Labritain) with producer Vic Maile, resulting in a disc that is trebly and lifeless, except for the poppy title track, which sounds like an East End Ramones.
Hoping to stir up some domestic interest, 999's American record company issued a six-song mini-album, The Biggest Tour in Sport, recorded live in 1980 in the States. The sound's good and hot; selections include "Homicide," "Emergency" and "Feelin' Alright with the Crew."

Theodoros Angelopoulos[edit]

Greek film director Theo Angelopoulos is one of the most influential and widely respected filmmakers in the world. Angelopoulos's unique cinematic vision... the quintessentially Greek nature of the director's work... 3,000 years of Greek culture and history. Angelopoulos has used cinema to explore the history and individual identities of his culture. With such far-reaching influences as Greek myth, ancient tragedy and epic, Byzantine iconography and ceremony, Greek and Balkan history, modern Greek pop culture including bouzouki music, shadow puppet theater, and the Greek music hall tradition, Angelopoulos emerges as an original "thinker" with the camera, and a distinctive director who is bound to make a lasting contribution to the art form.

In a series of films including The Travelling Players, Voyage to Cythera, Landscape in the Mist, The Suspended Step of the Stork, and most recently in Ulysses' Gaze starring Harvey Keitel (winner of the 1995 Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix), Angelopoulos has developed a remarkable cinematic style, characterized by carefully composed scenes and an enormous number of extended long shots. In an age of ever decreasing attention spans, Angelopoulos offers a cinema of contemplation.


Since 1975, the Greek art film industry has been dominated by the director Theodoros Angelopoulos. He made such masterpieces as The Traveling Players, which shows how a repertory touring group might have responded to the rural province in pre war years and also how the historical theater company took care to negotiate its way into potentially hostile towns. Angelopoulos explored in Alexander the Great (1980) the relation between leadership and dreams of social improvement.[3]

Combat Rock started out as a Clash album with the Ear mobile studio sessions (where ‘Should I Stay’, ‘Know Your Rights’, ‘Long Time Jerk’, and ‘First Night Back in London’ and others were recorded), but once the band returned to Electric Lady the pattern set on Sandinista re-emerged. The bass was handled by Mick, Topper or one of the studio engineers. Tymon Dogg and the Barnacle Brothers contributed heavily and again the fatal mistake was made - Joe not playing guitar.[7]

Compare the demo of ‘Overpowered by Funk’ to its slower, vastly inferior ‘official’ cousin. Of course, the results were skewed by the fact that Mick and Topper were seriously addicted and no real producer was present to provide adult supervision. It’s amazing to me that the Clash were able to record anything at all under these conditions, never mind the gobs of Stoner classics that both Sandinista and CR are lousy with. (I also have serious doubts as to whether the material generally referred as Rat Patrol is actually Mick’s proposed final mix. He might have been out of his mind on drugs then, but I still think that stuff is half-finished rough mixes- most of those vocal takes don’t sound final to me at all).[7]

p. 83

Overpowered by Funk (Hell W10) - Topper and Mick must have done the album version after a quaalude party. Stick with this Ear demo. Great rhythm playing by Joe on it, too.[8]

The Clash were exhausted physically and creatively by the time they entered the studio for Combat Rock in late ‘81. The Bond’s fiasco had occurred in the spring, Sandinista had seriously damaged their relationship with CBS, Topper Headon was at this point a hopeless junkie, and Bernie Rhodes was playing his warped mind games on the band. Mick and Joe usually settled their creative differences with fights and were exchanging songwriting ideas through intermediaries. In addition, putting out a three record set that explored almost every possible musical direction had left them unsure how to proceed. In spite of this, they had written a new batch of superior material that was premiered in Europe and the UK on their fall tour. The new songs heard in the fall of 81 were; ‘Know Your Rights’, Should I Stay...?’, ‘Radio Clash’, ‘Overpowered by Funk’, ‘Inoculated City’, and ‘Ghetto Defendant’. These are generally the songs considered the strongest of this period with the exception of ‘Rock the Casbah’ and ‘Straight to Hell’, which were written in the studio. Little is known about ‘Beautiful People’, but my guess is that is was not written in the studio, simply because it’s too complex. So with the exception of ‘Casbah’, which again was more or less pre-written by Headon and ‘Straight to Hell’, the strongest songs were premiered on tour in ‘81.[10]

p. 110

…the mix for CR was taken away from Mick and eventually handled by Joe and Glyn Johns. If we use Rat Patrol as a guide, Joe went in and recorded a lot of extra guitar. This is most obvious on ‘Know Your Rights’, ‘Car Jamming’ and ‘Should I Stay’, but I’d imagine that Joe put a lot of guitar on ‘Overpowered by Funk’ as well. It’s been said that Joe didn’t do a lot of playing on the last two albums, and I think that this is a major factor in the lessening of the energy level on those records. Joe wasn’t a guitarist per se, but a weird kind of percussionist and it’s obvious how his playing set the tempo on the songs live.[11]

p. 230

COLLAPSING ONTO THE FINISH LINE

Pablo Guzman expressed bewilderment over the Clash’s split in his old music column in the New York Daily News. He felt that “the Clash were just beginning to hit their stride” when they split. Many people felt the same shock. Wasn’t Combat Rock the unqualified hit album that put the Clash into the big leagues once and for all?[12]

No, Combat Rock was a disaster from the very start.[12]

The story begins in the early Autumn of 1981. Fed up with the band’s drift and stung by the underwhelming performance of Sandinista, Joe wanted to get back to the sound of the Clash, not the sound of an army of studio players. He also wanted to record the album with an 8-track studio. A compromise was reached and the Clash began recording at the Peoples’ Hall in London, using a mobile studio on loan from the Rolling Stones. Most of the more conventional tunes from what was then known as the Rat Patrol sessions were recorded here: ‘Should I Stay’, ‘Inoculated City’, ‘Know Your Rights’, ‘Ghetto Defendant’, and the original ‘Overpowered by Funk’. The initial idea was compromise. Joe told the NME that the Clash were “not trying to ignore anything we’ve heard before but we want to make it our own and all at once in every track.” However, the band had to abandon the sessions for a string of concert dates and when they returned, Mick Jones had a very different idea of how he wanted to make the new record. “He said if we didn’t produce Combat Rock in New York, he wouldn’t be at the sessions, “ Kosmo Vinyl recounted in 1984, “So we cart everything to New York and make the record there. One day there’s an argument and that gets brought up and Mick goes ‘Oh, I didn’t mean it.’ ”[12]

No, he certainly did ‘mean it’. Mick chose New York in general and Electric Lady in particular for what he thought was a very good reason. To explain why, we need to put all of this into perspective.[12]

pp. 233–234

The problem with many of the songs from the Combat Rock era is definition. What the hell are they supposed to be? ‘Car Jamming’, ‘Inoculated City’, ‘Atom Tan’, ‘Midnight to Stevens’ (which hadn’t even made the first cut), ‘Cool Confusion’, ‘Long Time Jerk’, ‘First Night Back in London’ are not fast, not loud, not Reggae, not Rock, not Funk, not hard, not soft. They fall in between every possible gap without strong melodies or performances or even choruses to save them. Mick had told a horrified Joe that “verse and chorus as form are over,” but the preponderance of the CR tracks had proven the inherent weakness of this concept. Mick was trying to appropriate the sounds of Hip Hop and Downtown Funk, but he had no idea how that music was even made. The only convincing Funk song on the album was ‘Casbah’, which was Topper’s baby. All the disco production tricks on the re-recorded ‘Overpowered by Funk’ did nothing but bury a formerly standard Rock number with a funky bassline under a layer of cheesy crud. They had a good Funk song in ‘Radio Clash,’ but they left it off. And that song was lifted straight from ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ to begin with. Sadly, Mick didn't realize that his great strength was based in melody and chord progression. He never had an ear for riffs or syncopations. Watt Roy had come up with the basslines that formed the foundation of the rap tracks on Sandinista. And he also didn’t grow up with Funk, like all those New Yorkers did. It was all new to him, but he was too proud to admit it.[13]

This is Radio Clash[edit]

"This Is Radio Clash" is a song by the English punk rock band The Clash, released on November 20, 1981 as a non-album single. Influenced by old school hip hop acts from New York City,[14] it is regarded as the first British rap/hip hop song. While it wasn't released on any of their studio albums, it was included in the track listing of their compilations: The Singles, The Story of the Clash, Volume 1, The Essential Clash Singles Box, The Singles (2007), and "Clash on Broadway".

Origins and recording[edit]

“When we came to the U.S., Mick stumbled upon a music shop in Brooklyn that carried the music of Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, the Sugar Hill Gang...these groups were radically changing music and they changed everything for us.”[14]

Lyrics and meaning[edit]

Music and composition[edit]

"This Is Radio Clash", like their previous single "The Magnificent Seven", is a dub reggae, rap, punk-funk song that was influenced by old school hip hop acts from New York City, like the Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five.[14]

In fact, "The Magnificent Seven" is rightly noted as "the first British rap song" by esteemed British rock critic Chris Salewicz; likewise, American critic Eric Schafer cites "This is Radio Clash"/"Radio Clash" as the first ever British hip hop.

Release and reception[edit]

Esteemed American critic Eric Schafer notes, “It is a magnificent, daring, challenging record that was years ahead of its time; one of the great rock records of the 1980s, it has never been given its just credit. Twenty-eight years after its debut, were it released today it would still burn up the radio.”

Music video[edit]

The music video for "This Is Radio Calsh" was directed by Don Letts, who photographed the band during their stay at ....

Live performances[edit]

Radio Clash[edit]

The B-side of the "This Is Radio Clash" single is unique in the history of rock music in that the music is the same as the A-side (with only slight remix changes) and the theme of the lyrics is the same, yet the actual lyrics are in fact different. Never before or since has this been done; it demonstrates the lyrical versatility of Joe Strummer. The Clash stated at the time that they intended the songs to be a single entity, but when "This is Radio Clash" ran to more than eight minutes in length, they decided to split the master in half and make two songs rather than edit the song.

The similarities of the titles and the recordings has led to quite a bit of confusion not only by fans but by record companies as well. The two songs are intended to be heard back to back, but this has never been accomplished on CD. In compilations, the A-side was included on "Clash on Broadway" but not the B-side. On the remastered version of the Super Black Market Clash CD, which assembles Clash B-sides, remixes and rarities, the B-side "Radio Clash" is included, but not the A-Side. When the 2003 collection The Essential Clash was released the B-side was listed but in fact it is the A-side song that is on the CD. Simply, the proper way to listen to the songs is to have them back to back on your digital source.

The Vanilla Tapes[edit]

The Vanilla Tapes were demo tracks recorded in 1979 by the English punk band The Clash -- in essence, an early version of their album London Calling (although the track Remote Control was a song from the band's first album). Roadie Johnny Green was to deliver the tapes to the band's new producer, Guy Stevens; Green fell asleep on the train ride to the studio. Waking up at the station where he was to disembark, he panicked, and in his rush left the tapes behind. After that, the tapes were considered lost until March 2004, when Clash guitarist Mick Jones was moving boxes and came upon a copy of the tape.

The newly discovered Vanilla Tapes were released as a bonus disc when London Calling was remastered and re-issued as the Legacy Edition in September 2004. According to the booklet, there were 37 tracks on the tapes; only 21 were included on the CD.

Wrong 'Em Boyo[edit]

"Wrong 'Em Boyo" is a song written by Clive Alphonso for his Jamaican rocksteady group The Rulers.

The Clash did a ska version that features on their 1979 album London Calling, in which Stagger Lee is explicitly the hero and Billy DeLion the villain.

Buck-O-Nine, an American ska punk band formed in San Diego, California, in 1991, did a cover of The Clash version of this song on their 1995 album Barfly.

Abraham Coles[edit]

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=47042856

  • Birth: Dec. 26, 1813
  • Scotch Plains
  • Union County
  • New Jersey, USA
  • Death: May 3, 1891
  • California, USA

Abraham Coles was born 1813 in Scotch Plains, Union County, NJ, the 4th of 5 known surviving children (2 boys/3 girls) born to the prominent Dennis Coles and his wife, Katrina (Catherine) Van Duersen of Newburgh, NY, a descendant of Everardus Bogardus, the distinguished Dutch domine, and the famous Anneke Jans, his wife.

The family of Coles is of English origin, originally written as "Cole". In America the history of the family begins with that of the settlement of Massachusetts Bay Colony, while on the maternal side its history is traced from the early settlement of New Amsterdam. James Cole, the Puritan, and founder of the family in America, arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, between 1620 and 1630. He became a proprietor of land at Plymouth, a part of which was called "Cole's Hill," a bluff of land about twenty feet high, at the foot of which is the famous Plymouth Rock. The name James is found with great frequency in the Cole generations, and the original settler so named his eldest son. Various members of the family left Massachusetts and made a settlement at Oyster Bay, Long Island, about 1665. In 1688 the family became established at Scotch Plains, New Jersey (then called East Jersey), and remained there for many generations.

Abraham Coles was son of Dennis, and grandson of James Coles and Elizabeth Frazee; gr-grandson of Sen. William Coles & Betsey Dennis; and gr-gr grandson of James Coles, Jr., son of the patriarch, James Coles Sr.

Abraham's father, Dennis Coles, was a man of great culture, skilled in mathematics, a lover of polite literature, a polished speaker, member of the state legislature, a charming reader and accomplished writer. He married in 1802 in Newburgh, NY where he established a newspaper "Recorder of the Times" for 3 years. A financial success, it ran under other names until 1876. At the solicitation of his parents, he sold the business in 1806 and came back to Scotch Plains.

Until the age of 12, Abraham Coles was educated by his parents, and in 1828, at age 15, he became a clerk in a New York dry goods store. By 1830, a learned student, he was teaching Latin and Greek at Plainfleld, NJ for a few months, and in 1831 began to study law, which profession he subsequently relinquished as his vocation in life for the study of medicine.

He attended the University of the City of New York, and the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York. In 1835, he received his M.D. degree from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, and the following year began his practice in Newark, NJ.

In 1842, the 29-year old physician married 25-year old Caroline Elizabeth Ackerman, eldest daughter of Jonathan Combs and Maria (Smith) Ackerman of New Brunswick, NJ. The marriage resulted in the birth of two children: Jonathan Ackerman Coles (1843-1926) and Emilie Smith Coles (1845-1919). Sadly, the marriage was short lived as his lovely bride died just a few months after the birth of their daughter, passing in 1845 at age 28. The 32-year old widower never remarried.

He several times visited Europe for study and travel, giving special attention to languages, both ancient and modern. He was one of the founders of the Newark library and of the New Jersey Historical Society, and a member of the Newark Board of Education and other organizations. He owned a valuable collection of books, paintings and statuary gathered during his lifetime.

A colossal bronze bust of Abraham Coles by J. Q. A. Ward, with its pedestal of stones quarried for the purpose in Galilee, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and on the Mount of Olives, Palestine, was unveiled in Washington Park, Newark, N.J., July 5, 1897. (Shown here.) The pedestal is founded on a rock weighing about seven tons, which was transported with much difficulty from a grove near the landing place of the pilgrim fathers at Plymouth, Mass.

He received from Rutgers college the degree of A.M.; from Lewisburg University that of Ph.D. in 1860; and from the College of New Jersey, Princeton, that of LL.D. in 1871. In 1847 appeared in the Newark Daily Advertiser his first translation of the "Dies Irae." This was extensively copied and made him famous throughout the literary world. In 1859 he published a volume comprising thirteen original translations of Dies Irae (6th edition, 1892), to which he subsequently added five other translations. He also published a translation of Stabat Mater Dolorosa (1865, 3d edition, 1892); a translation of Stabat Mater Speciosa (1867, 2d edition, 1892); Old Gems in Yew Settings (1866, 3d edition, 1892); Man, the Microcosm (1866, 5th edition, 1892); Thc Evangel (1874, 2d edition, 1884); The Light of the World (1884); and A -Veio Rendering of the Hebrew Psalms Into English Verse (1887). He was also a published poet and the author of many patriotic and devotional hymns.

Though now almost forgotten, except for his name appearing on several monuments in Newark, NJ, Dr. Abraham Coles was in his time, regarded as one of the most accomplished practitioners of Newark, enjoying the highest respect of his brethern in the profession, and of his fellow citizens generally. As some evidence of this, he was for twelve years a member of the Board of Education of the City of Newark, and in 1866 was President of the Medical Society of New Jersey.

Dr. Coles traveled the world, often with his children. His son, J. Ackerman Coles, later joined the medical profession in practice with him, and became the editor of new editions of his father's works.

Dr. Coles died while traveling to the West Coast with his children, taking his last breath at the Hotel Del Monte, near Monterey, California, on May 3, 1891. His body was returned to New Jersey and laid to rest next to his beloved Caroline.

Both his children lived long lives, though neither married, and so the line of Abraham Coles died with the passing of his son on December 26, 1926.

East Meets East[edit]

Ferragosto[edit]

Feriae Augusti were originally the festive days lasting the entire month of August, in honor of the Emperor Augustus. During this period, the Romans honored their pagan deities and women made votive offerings in temples to ask for protection during childbirth. Participation in all festivities was open also to slaves.

Nowadays, Ferragosto comprises the holidays of mid August during which most Italians go on vacation.

Ferragosto is the most popular Italian festivity as well as one the most important Catholic recurring holidays. The Catholic Church celebrates the day the Virgin Mary was Assunta in Cielo, in other words transported directly to Heaven to be with her son and to look after those of us still here on Earth. The origin of Ferragosto is Pagan and it goes back before Christianity. Peasants in ancient times would rest during the month of August and celebrate the Goddess of all Harvestings in a ritual that would lead to pilgrimages to Her sanctuaries traditionally located in woods or on top of a mountain and offering her foods and prayers. Only in 18 BC the Roman Emperor Augustus (this name meaning "blessed by destiny, good luck") declared that all of the month of August would be dedicated to the Feriae Augusti, a series of festivals and celebrations; the most important was held on the 13th, and was dedicated to Diana, the Goddess who oversees the woods, the phases of the Moon, and Maternity. The celebrations used to take place in Diana's temple on the Aventino and it was one of the few occasions in which all the Romans from masters to slaves could walk and mix freely.

In addition to Diana, the Feriae Augusti were an occasion to celebrate Vortumnus, God of the Seasons and therefore of the ripening of crops, Conso, the God of the Harvest, and Opeconsiva, who personified the abundant harvest. In short, the Feriae were a celebration of abundance and fertility.

Only in the 18th century, Ferragosto became known as the day of the Ascension, and it became official only in 1950 with Pope Pius XII.

Among the traditional celebrations are:

Porto Santo Stefano (Grosseto): On August 15, there is a competition called "Palio Marinaro"; among fishermen divided in four teams representing the four main districts of the town of Porto Santo Stefano. This tradition originates from a legend that narrates about a fisherman's boat that was salvaged from the attacks of the Saracens by hiding in a small grotta (cave) which then became known as the "Grotta del Turco" (The Turk's Cave).

Castelbuono (Palermo): the history of the town is linked to the noble family of Ventimiglia. In 1316 they built a castle that was named after them (see picture below) and is still standing on a rock north of the main town. On August 15, the whole town gathers for the "Arruccata dei Ventimiglia"; locals dressed in ancient costumes create living paintings to evoke episodes of their history.

Like most religious holidays, Ferragosto provides families with an excellent excuse to gather and enjoy a fine meal, renewing the ties that bind the generations. Among the Italian most popular meals is the "Insalatona di Ferragosto" (Midsummer Salad):

(Ingredients: 4 chicken breasts - 1/2 Liter of milk - 1 large ripe tomato - 1 small ginger root - 1 1/2 tbsp butter - 300 grams of green salads - chives - vinegar - 1 tbsp soya sauce - salt)

Marinade the chicken breasts in the milk for 12 hours. Wash and strain the salad, dice the tomatoes, and slice the ginger finely. Remove the chicken from the milk, spread the breasts with butter and cook on a grill pan till tender. Place the salad and tomatoes in a salad bowl, and dress with 2 tbsp of vinegar and toss. Cut the chicken into fine strips and add to the salad, sprinkle with a tbsp of soya sauce, the ginger slivers and the chopped chives.

Ferragosto goes back further and has Pagan origins, which in this case are multiple. On the one hand, in 18 BC the Roman Emperor Augustus declared that all of the month of August would be dedicated to the Feriae Augusti, a series of festivals and celebrations; the most important was held on the 13th, and was dedicated to Diana, the Goddess whose task it was to oversee the woods, the phases of the Moon, and Maternity. The services, which were celebrated in Diana's temple on the Aventine, was one of the few occasions in which Romans from all walks of life, masters and slaves alike, mingled freely, and the women, who made offerings to the Goddess throughout the year in the hope that their labor would be safe and happy, offered prayers to Lucina, the guise Diana assumed when she was acting as protectoress of Labor.

In addition to Diana, the Feriae Augusti were an occasion to celebrate Vortumnus, God of the Seasons and therefore of the ripening of crops, Conso, the God of the Harvest, and Opeconsiva, who personified the abundant harvest. In short, the Feriae were a celebration of fertility and maternity; like many other Roman holidays they derived from the East, and in particular from the Syrian celebration of Atagartis, a Mother Goddess who oversaw both fertility and work in the fields. With the advent of Christianity people turned to the Virgin for help in these matters, and began celebrating Her in August in the church in Jerusalem that was said to be Her resting place; the custom spread through the rest of the Empire under Mauritius, in the late 500s.

It's important to note that this was just a celebration of Mary; the modern dogma that she was transported to Heaven on Ferragosto took hold in the 18th century, and was only formally proclaimed by Pope Pius XII in 1950.

The Italian Holiday Ferragosto - Sacred or Profane?

For the August holidays in Italy, culminating on the 15th with Ferragosto, are rooted in tradition as old as the Roman Empire itself.

Ferragosto is an Italian contraction of the Latin feriae augusti: literally, “Augustus’s holiday.” Proclaimed by Augustus (Julius Caesar’s nephew and heir, and the first Roman Emperor), the feriae augusti were originally a full month of continuous celebration later reduced to a single day in early, and subsequently mid, August. The feriae marked a period in Roman society in which the division of classes slackened, witnessing the rare social mingling of citizens and slaves.

All mundane enterprises ceased during these festivities. Romans feasted and honored diverse gods and goddesses, typically those associated with the harvest and the changing of seasons. For Roman women, the feriae augusti meant a time to worship the goddesses relevant to their own interests, deities such as Diana, the protectoress of youth and a goddess of childbirth (as Lucina, a guise of both Diana and Juno). Thus, in addition to its status as public holiday, in time Ferragosto also became associated with principally “female” matters—fertility, maternity, and children.

Such correlations help to explain how a pagan harvest festival, one already strongly linked to sacred female figures, evolved into a feast day for the Catholic Church’s most revered female figure, the Virgin Mary. For, as Catholic readers will surely remember, August 15 is also the Feast of the Assumption, known in Italy as La Festa dell’Assunta or L’Assunzione di Maria Vergine. One of the Church’s basic Marian dogmas, the Assumption refers to the moment Mary was taken up, or “assumed,” directly into heaven upon her death. Proclaimed official dogma by Pope Pius XII in 1950, it was assigned to August 15 on the liturgical calendar—and not by coincidence. Though unofficial, honoring Mary in August had been an established practice since the Middle Ages.

That the Catholic Church co-opted Ferragosto as it had done with other pagan festivals seems little disputed. History is full of shifts of this kind. Throughout the whole of Europe, firmly-rooted pagan traditions never really died out, but were absorbed rather into an ever-expanding Christian world. Many Christian saints, including Mary, came to bear symbolic resemblance to prior religious figures; and even the most desultory look at the roots of Christmas and Easter quickly reveals a strong connection to ancient pagan antecedents.

From her Greek and Roman predecessors, Mary inherited strong associations with fertility, purity, and maternal strength: Mary’s triumph over death, for instance, recalls the symbology of Ceres, who, as the goddess of corn, died each year come harvest time, but every Spring was re-sowed, reborn; The flowers said to have bloomed spontaneously at Mary’s tomb (usually roses or lilies) as angels conveyed her to heaven, parallel the grain, corn husks and other harvest flora that for ages had been associated of her forerunners; and, even today, Catholics pray to Mary for guidance and care in childbirth just as pagan women sought the aid of Juno, Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth.

What does all this mean to Italians today, if anything? In a culture where the line separating secular from religious is often blurred, the 15th of August represents an outright blind spot. While acknowledging regional differences (in the South, devotion to Mary is known to be much more rigorous), Ferragosto seems to me overwhelmingly laical in practice. The Italians I know all consider Ferragosto a day to “get away,” usually at the beach, perhaps a hike in the mountains or a leisurely lunch with family. It certainly is not a day spent closed inside a church. Yet, the dogma of the Assumption is fundamental to Roman Catholic belief, and one to be observed accordingly. So why aren’t the church pews as crowded as the seashores on this day? True to her dichotomous character, Italy offers no simple answers to questions of faith or tradition.

Technical Difficulties (Hate Dept. album)[edit]

Untitled

Technical Difficulties is the third studio album by synthesizer-laden post-punk band, Hate Dept.. The only single, "Release It", earned radio airplay in 50 North American markets, and peaked at number 40 of the Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart.[32] The album was mixed by Steven Seibold, Bill Kennedy, Jon St. James, and Mon Agranat and recorded at Front Page Studios in Glendale, California, Westlake Recording Studios in West Hollywood, California, The Enterprise Studio II in Burbank, California, and at The Laundry Room in San Clemente, California, and then mastered by Eddy Schreyer at Oasis Mastering in Studio City, California. An almost complete promotional album with an additional intro as the opening track, a rough version of "Wait", and two different versions for "Release It", "Gone", and "Hit Back", was released in late 1998.

Steve Huey of Allmusic wrote that .... |first= They may sound like an industrial band -- clanking drum machines, synthesizers, and loud, crusty guitars -- but Hate Dept. are alt-rockers at heart, emphasizing traditional song structure and punk lyrical attitude over sonic experimentation and abrasiveness. Technical Difficulties is arguably their most accessible release to date, featuring the strong single "Release It."[33]

This is a trio attending the Graduate School of the Korean National University of Arts. The sisters ― Kim Jin-ah, who plays the Gayageum ; Sun-ah, the geomungo ; and Min-ah, haegeum ― have performed their music both at home and abroad. In its debut album, “Step One,” the group showed the essence of traditional music mixing the acoustic sounds of the instruments with their own vocals. But in the recent album “In Dreams Volume 1,” they have attempted to blend in electronic sounds. Notably, the band has recently released an album featuring the title track “Mouana” in collaboration with France-based Cameroonian band Erik Aliana & Korongo Jam. Using two guitars, gayageum, geomungo, haegeum and an African folk drum, Udu, the song is marked by the powerful vocals of Erik Aliana and good harmony of IS. The two groups first met in 2007 at Japan’s World Music Festival. They performed on a different stage but they were attracted by each other’s music. After that, the Cameroonian band visited Korea in 2008 to take part in the Nangye Traditional Music Festival and perform together with IS for the song “Mouana.”

Thirteen Indian acts converged in Singapore recently to participate in the Sutasi Song Contest and Talent Search – a reality TV show to track down Asia’s finest bands, solo artistes and songwriters. The Indian acts were part of 42 artistes chosen from a regional playoff within South-East Asia, North-East Asia and South Asia. Out of these, 12 finalists.[1]


In 2009 the trio participated to the international music competition program for bands and singer/songwriters, airing throughout Asia, called "Sutasi."[2]

Step One by IS INFINITY OF SOUND

Three young singing sisters who also play traditional instruments. Their voices are pretty much pop sounding, while the Kim sisters also play kayagum (zither), yanggum (dulcimer) and haegum (fiddle). The excellent Wong Il (Puri) plays the piri (oboe) and various percussion, and there's also accordion and piano (from Peter Schindler). The music has an experimental edge to it, with hip-hop rhythm and repetitive string phrases. A welcome new direction for Korean music.11 tracks including Spring, used in a Korean drama.[3]

IS (Infinity of Sound), a band known for using Korean traditional instruments to play modern music, is releasing its second mini album, "In Dreams Volume 2."[3]

The versatile triplets Kim Jin-ah, who plays gayageum, Sun-ah, geomungo, and Min-ah, haegeum, are all graduate students at Korea National University of Arts, and also appeared in the film Antique (film)Antique (a 2008 South Korean film based on Fumi Yoshinaga's manga Antique Bakery) and TV dramas Goong S and Moon River.[3]

The new album leans more toward trendy music, interpreting Korean traditional music in a pop style.[3]

Infinity of Sound (South Korea) IS (Infinity of Sound) is a Korean trio blurring the boundaries between Korean traditional, electronic music, pop, and fusion.

The band consists of triplet sisters Kim Jin Ah (playing gayageum - a 12-stringed Korean arfa), Sun Ah (geomungo - a six-stringed Korean arfa), and Min Ah (haegeum - a two-stringed fiddle)

The 24-year-old girls are no amateurs, they graduated with honours from Korean University of Arts in 2007 and each have a Master’s Degree. They grasped media’s attention even before releasing their first album “Step One” because of their cameo roles as musicians of the royal court in Korean drama “Princess Hours”, as well as their pop song covers.

Their debut album is something along the lines of “Korean traditional music meets contemporary vocal”. In the second album, “In Dreams Vol 1”, the trio started to blend in electronic sounds. Their latest album, “In Dreams Vol 2” (aka, “Moana”) is a collaboration project with French artists Erik Aliana & Korogo Jam and introduces African rhythms.

The Brondesbury Tapes (1968) (Greatest Hits)

  • Artist: Giles Giles & Fripp
  • Label: VOICEPRINT UK
  • Album The Brondesbury Tapes (1968)
  • Type Compilation

Considering that Giles, Giles & Fripp's original album sold about 500 copies, the very existence of this 70-minute CD is a source of astonishment as well as delight. Comprised of privately made tapes of the legendary progressive/pop/rock trio -- all home recordings, on a Revox stereo reel-to-reel recorder, that made lots of use of overdubbing -- this CD shows Robert Fripp, Peter Giles, and Michael Giles (along with Julie Dyble and Ian McDonald) at their most experimental. Virtually all of what ended up on The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles & Fripp seems to have started life here, before they ever got into Decca's studios, so this is a chance to hear some of their released music as works-in-progress, most notably Robert Fripp's "Suite No. 1" (which was later transmuted into "Prelude: Song of the Gulls" from Islands), and an early Fripp guitar piece, "Tremelo Study in A Major." King Crimson completists will also be overjoyed to find the GG&F rendition of "I Talk to the Wind" (two different takes of it, in fact) in its original version, sung by Julie Dyble, which appeared on the double LP Young Person's Guide to King Crimson, finally turning up on CD on this disc. Also present on this CD is another lost early link in Crimson's subsequent output, "Why Don't You Just Drop In," which evolved through several intermediate stages into "The Letters" on Islands; and a portion of Fripp's "Passages of Time" ended up in the bridge of "Peace--A Theme" from In the Wake of Poseidon. Dyble turns up on vocals along with Ian McDonald (who plays sax, flute, and keyboards, as well as singing) on "Make It Today," a smooth piece of progressive pop-jazz (complete with a McDonald sax solo) that sounds as though it could have come from Judith Durham of the Seekers in a light moment. McDonald is all over these tapes, playing flute on an outtake of "Digging My Lawn" and saxes and piano elsewhere. Not all of it is great music -- "Plastic Pennies" is pure (albeit pleasant) pop, worthy of the Seekers -- but the raw talent is impressive. Additionally, listening to these tapes, one gets the sense that Giles, Giles, Fripp & McDonald, whatever they called themselves, could have made it, at least as far as the jazz clubs in England, without ever becoming what we later knew as King Crimson. There's also a pleasant bonus for fans of Peter Sinfield, whose "Under the Sky" (later a centerpiece of his solo album), turns up here in its ethereal original version, sung by Dyble. There is distortion on a few tracks, but most of what's here displays amazingly good quality for home demos dating back more than 30 years. Bruce Eder, All Music Guide[2]

King Crimson discography[edit]

Jo Jo in the Stars[edit]

She'd been running the show for as long as anyone
could remember,
parading her collection of monsters and misfits for
all to see.

They'd come in their thousands, hungry for
a glimpse of Mdme Pica's brood.
And he'd be there too,
night after night.

Only he'd come for Jo Jo ...

The rain fell for ten long years, and with
each passing year the crowds dwindled
until her cavernous halls stood almost empty.

What was once shocking no longer amused.
Some new horror was needed to
draw them in once more.

Someone — or something...

Miriam Makeba[edit]

LEAD

Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 - 10 November 2008) was a South African singer, songwrtiter, author, actress, former UN ambassador, FAO Goodwill Ambassador, and anti-apartheid and civil rights activist. Makeba, also known as "The Empress of African Song" and Mama Africa, was the first African recording artist to be awarded a Grammy. She began her career in the 1950s with The Manhattan Brothers, then formed her own female group, the Skylarks. Banned from returnig to South Africa after she toured overseas with King Kong, she was in exile for 30 years, in the United States then in Guinea. She returned to South Africa in 1990.[3]

In a career spanning six decades, from the 1950s to the 2000s, she has worked with international superstars such as Hugh Masekela, Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon, Dizzy Gillespie, Nina Simone, Sidney Poitier, Miles Davis, and Whoopi Goldberg, and has has met world leaders including John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Fidel Castro, Ahmed Sékou Touré, Haile Selassie, Samora Machel, Julius Nyerere, Jomo Kenyatta, Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson and Graça Machel-Mandela, François Mitterrand, Pope John Paul II, and Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. She is perhaps the only African artist who has had three private audiences with the Pope. A citizen of the world who had nine passports and received honorary citizenship of ten different countries, Makeba... [4]

In every community, in every nation, people are doing little and big things to help make a better world. Think of what has been accomplished to date: space exploration; satellite communications; heart transplants. Today, we have managed to do what previous generations never dreamed of.
But, you see, today, around the world, 840 million people still don't have enough to eat. And it doesn't have to be this way.

—Miriam Makeba[5]

Nkrumah 2001

... performs in aid of the Cairo-based Association of Friends of the National Cancer Institute (AFNCI) effort to raise funds for the construction of a hospital specialising in the treatment of children with cancer.[4]

Makeba was the first African artist to perform before the founding fathers of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU).[4]

Makeba remembers going to the South African embassy in New York to apply for permission to return home for her mother's funeral. "The man at the desk took my passport. He did not speak to me. He took a rubber stamp and slammed it down. Then he walked away. I picked up my passport. It was stamped 'Invalid'. 'They have done it,' I told myself. 'They have exiled me. I am not permitted to go home -- not now, maybe not ever. My family, my home. Everything that has gone into the making of myself, gone'." She has had nine different passports, including those of Ghana, Guinea and Tanzania. In 1972, Fidel Castro gave her a Cuban passport.[4]

She even has a school named after her in Pretoria.[4]

"I look at an ant and see myself: a native South African, endowed with a strength much greater than my size, so I might cope with the weight of racism that crushes my spirit." —Miriam Makeba[4]

"That was the only time my mother saw me on stage. At one point in the play I am strangled and my mother jumped from her seat and screamed: 'No. You will not get away with murder. You cannot do this to my daughter.' Friends explained to her that this was not for real -- that we were acting. But she made such a fuss. Everyone was so embarrassed. On stage my heart sank" —Miriam Makeba[4]

"Normally I sleep during long flights, but when I was returning to my country I could not sleep a wink" —Miriam Makeba[4]

"My brother's was the first face I spotted in the crowd, [...] After a stopover at his house, I went straight to my mother's grave. I spent hours alone in the graveyard, remembering, weeping and contemplating in silence." —Miriam Makeba[4]

"The young people were very excited and chanted 'Mama Africa' as I entered the packed hall where the meeting was held." —Miriam Makeba[4]

Thus will all the strands of her life -- all the people Miriam Makeba has been, all the places she has seen, and all the causes for which she has raised her voice -- come together at last.[4]

[...]I'm not a political singer, I don't know what the word means. People think I consciously decided to tell the world what was happening in South Africa. No! I was singing about my life, and in South Africa we always sang about what was happening to us—especially the things that hurt us.

—Miriam Makeba[6]

South African musical legend Miriam Makeba dies

Monday, November 10, 2008

By CELEAN JACOBSON, Associated Press Writer Frances D'Emilio; Boubacar Diallo, Maseco Conde, Eddy Isango

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — She died just how she wanted to _ singing on stage for a good cause. And her recorded songs wafted out of taxis and radios, as fellow Africans struggled with their grief at her passing.[7]

Miriam Makeba, the "Mama Africa" whose sultry voice gave South Africans hope when the country was gripped by apartheid, died Monday of a heart attack after collapsing on stage in Italy. She was 76.[7]

In her dazzling career, Makeba performed with musical legends from around the world _ jazz maestros Nina Simone and Dizzy Gillespie, Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon _ and sang for world leaders such as John F. Kennedy and Nelson Mandela.[7]

Her distinctive style, which combined jazz, folk and South African township rhythms, managed to get her banned from South Africa for over 30 years.[7]

"Her haunting melodies gave voice to the pain of exile and dislocation which she felt for 31 long years. At the same time, her music inspired a powerful sense of hope in all of us," Mandela said in a statement.[7]

He said it was "fitting" that her last moments were spent on stage.[7]

Makeba collapsed after singing one of her most famous hits "Pata Pata," her family said. Her grandson, Nelson Lumumba Lee, was with her as well as her longtime friend, Italian promoter Roberto Meglioli.[7]

"Whilst this great lady was alive she would say: 'I will sing until the last day of my life'," the family statement said.[7]

Makeba died at the Pineta Grande clinic in Castel Volturno, near the southern city of Naples, after singing at a concert in solidarity with six immigrants from Ghana who were shot to death in September in the town. Investigators have blamed the attack on organized crime.[7]

The death of "Mama Africa" sent shock waves through South Africa, where callers flooded local radio stations with their recollections of her. In Guinea, where Makeba lived most of her decades in exile, radio and television stations played mournful music and tributes to their adopted icon.[7]

The first African to win a Grammy award, Makeba started singing in Sophiatown, a cosmopolitan neighborhood of Johannesburg that was a cultural hotspot in the 1950s before its black residents were forcibly removed by the apartheid government.[7]

She then teamed up with South African jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela _ later her first husband _ and her rise to international prominence started in 1959 when she starred in the anti-apartheid documentary "Come Back, Africa."[7]

When she tried to fly home for her mother's funeral the following year, she discovered her passport had been revoked.[7]

In 1963, Makeba appeared before the U.N. Special Committee on Apartheid to call for an international boycott of South Africa. The white-led South African government responded by banning her records, including hits like "Pata Pata," "The Click Song" ("Qongqothwane" in Xhosa), and "Malaika."[7]

Makeba received the Grammy Award for Best Folk Recording in 1966 together with Belafonte for "An Evening With Belafonte/Makeba." The album dealt with the political plight of black South Africans under apartheid.[7]

Thanks to her close relationship with Belafonte, she received star status in the United States and performed for President Kennedy at his birthday party in 1962. But she fell briefly out of favor when she married black power activist Stokely Carmichael _ later known as Kwame Ture _ and moved to Guinea in the late 1960s.[7]

Besides working with Simone and Gillespie, she also appeared with Paul Simon at his "Graceland" concert in Zimbabwe in 1987.[7]

After three decades abroad, Makeba was invited back to South Africa by Mandela shortly after his release from prison in 1990 as white racist rule crumbled.[7]

"It was like a revival," she said about going home. "My music having been banned for so long, that people still felt the same way about me was too much for me. I just went home and I cried."[7]

Tributes flooded in Monday from across Africa.[7]

Congo's minister of culture, Esdras Kambale, called Makeba a role model for all Africans.[7]

"We are very saddened," Kambale said. "Fortunately, she left a large body of music that will be immortal."[7]

Percussionist Papa Kouyate _ who played in Makeba's band for 20 years and is the widower of her daughter Bongi _ remembered Makeba as a giving person.[7]

"I married her daughter Bongi and she adopted me as her own child," he said. "I will mourn Mama Africa for a long time."[7]

Still, Makeba attracted controversy by lending support to dictators such as Togo's Gnassingbe Eyadema and Felix Houphouet-Boigny from Ivory Coast, performing at political campaigns for them, even as they violently suppressed democratic movements in West Africa in the early 90s.[7]

The first person to give her refuge was Guinea's former President Ahmed Sekou Toure, who has been accused in the slaughtering of 10 percent of his country's population.[7]

Makeba insisted, however, that her songs were not deliberately political.[7]

"I'm not a political singer," she insisted in an interview with Britain's Guardian newspaper earlier this year. "I don't know what the word means. People think I consciously decided to tell the world what was happening in South Africa. No! I was singing about my life, and in South Africa we always sang about what was happening to us _ especially the things that hurt us."[7]

The U.S. State Department sent condolences to Makeba's family as international tributes for Makeba also flooded in Monday.[7]

"Her voice and her battles influenced the process of liberation and democratic rebirth in South Africa," Italian President Giorgio Napolitano said in a statement.[7]

Jacques Diouf, director general of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, praised Makeba for the work she did for the poor as its goodwill ambassador. "We will miss her energy and her respectful concern for the world's most vulnerable," he said in a statement.[7]

Makeba announced her retirement three years ago, but despite a series of farewell concerts she never stopped performing. When she turned 75 last year, she said she would sing for as long as possible.[7]

Makeba is survived by her grandchildren, Nelson Lumumba Lee and Zenzi Monique Lee, and her great-grandchildren Lindelani, Ayanda and Kwame. A funeral will be held in South Africa, but details have not yet been announced.[7]

Photographer Jurgen Schadeberg, who shot widely acclaimed pictures of Makeba for Drum magazine in the 50s, felt she epitomized the era where politics and culture collided in a heady mix.[7]

"We are losing our great divas," he lamented by telephone from France.[7]

BIOGRAPHY [ TIMELINE | EDIT ]

Born: March 4, 1932 | Died: November 9, 2008[8]

South African diva Miriam Makeba is well known throughout the world as Mama Africa and the Empress of African Song. She is African music's first and foremost world star. She is a pioneer who played her early songs and blended different styles long before anyone even began to talk about “world music.” Her record production is spread across many companies all over the world - so far and wide that it's difficult to get a panoramic view of it. But no collection of African music should be without one or more of Miriam Makeba's recordings.[8]

Miriam was born in Johannesburg. As a young girl of thirteen, she entered a talent show at a missionary school and walked off with the first prize. She was often invited to sing at weddings, and her popularity grew in leaps and bounds as more and more people became dazzled by her talent. In 1952 she was chosen to sing for The Manhattan Brothers and toured South Africa with them. As early as 1956, she wrote and released the song “Pata Pata.”[8]

She received invitations to visit Europe and America, where she came to the attention of Harry Belafonte and Steve Allen and was capitulated to stardom. 1959 saw her becoming the first South African to win a Grammy award for the album “An Evening with Harry Belafonte & Miriam Makeba.”[8]

Miriam became an exile in 1960 when South Africa banned her from returning to her birth country - she was deemed to be too dangerous and revolutionary - this was after she had appeared in an anti-apartheid documentary, entitled “Come Back Africa”, and this upset the then white apartheid government of South Africa. Miriam only returned to South Africa thirty years later.[8]

In 1967, more than ten years after she wrote the song, “Pata Pata” was released in the United States and became a hit worldwide. It has since been re-recorded by numerous international artists. Miriam was a darling of the American public, but they turned against her when she married the radical black activist, Stokely Carmichael, in 1968. Once again, she was at the receiving end of a dissatisfied and disgruntled country. Although the United States never banned her, her US concerts and recording contracts were suddenly cancelled.[8]

She moved back to Africa, this time to Guinea where she was welcomed with open arms. Miriam continued to record songs and toured intensively. She was well respected by the government of Guinea and was asked to address the United Nations General Assembly as a Guinean delegate. She twice addressed the General Assembly, speaking out against the evils of apartheid.[8]

Although always regarding herself as a singer and not as a politician, Miriam's fearless humanitarianism has earned her many International awards, including the 1986 Dag Hammerskjold Peace Prize and the UNESCO Grand Prix du Conseil International de la Musique. Makeba is also known for having inspired an enduring fashion in the 60's when the slogan “black is beautiful” was launched which popularized the Afro hairstyle of the period.[8]

She has toured with singers such as Paul Simon, Nina Simone, Hugh Masekela and Dizzy Gillepsie. The ban on her records was lifted in South Africa in 1988 and she returned to her homeland in December 1990. Four years later she started a charity project to raise funds to protect women in South Africa. Her first concert in South Africa (1991) was a huge success and this was a prelude for a world-wide tour which included the USA and Europe.[8]

She has released over fifty albums over the years, and her powerful and distinctive voice retains the clarity and range that enable it to be both forceful as a protest march and as poignant as an African lullaby.[8]

She keeps on singing, with her granddaughter Zenzi Lee in her background choir and a great-grandson in her entourage. She released a critically acclaimed comeback album, “Homeland,” released in 2000, which was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2001. She appeared in the movie of 2002 by Lee Hirsch, the opulent and exciting documentary “Amandla!” about the powerful part of music in the struggle against Apartheid. In 2004, at the South African Music Awards 10, her album “Reflections,” won two awards: Best Jazz Vocal Album and Best Adult Contemporary Album. She is on an international tour in 2007 with her eight member band, and performed for a free concert in May in London’s Trafalgar Square.[8]

Miriam is MamaAfrica, a lady with a special touch. She has weathered many storms in her life, including several car accidents, a plane crash and even cancer. She remains as active in her latter years as she did as a young girl with stars in her eyes.[8]

Her exceptional personal and artistic profile is part of the history of this century, all adding to the dramatic elements of an extraordinary life, making Miriam Makeba a living legend.[8]

MIRIAM MAKEBA

The Grand Dame of World Music. 'Mama Africa," Miriam Makeba had a pop hit with 'Pata Pata" (also called "The 'Clicking' Song" for the tongue clicks that characterize Zulu languages) in 1967, bringing at leavened version of mbaqanga to Western ears for the first time.[9]

When I came here, I was something completely new, because I sang my songs. I sang my "clicking songs," so it was something completely different. It opened the way for many South African artists, including Hugh Masekela, Dollar Brand, what's his name now? Abdullah Ibrahim. At home he was Dollar Brand. He was best known at home as Dollar Brand. Everyone is in. Paul Simon has opened it even wider.[9]

With Harry Belafonte, I had another vehicle, because when I was performing with him, I was reaching more people. His audience was wide, so is Paul's. So when I'm with him, I'm reaching different people. It is an audience that we might never have reached on our own. Paul's audience is completely different. And they like it, when we came on stage, even those who had never heard us before, they were happy to discover and hear. And people left happy: they came backstage and said they liked our music.[9]

I think artists should be like that, should help each other. I've always liked to perform with other artists, because I think I'm contributing something to them as well as they're contributing something to me. Paul's record was big, but in the show, all of us contributed something to make the show the success that it was. I'm very grateful to him, because I feel, through his show, I was able to...[9]

245

...come back here and renew my old friendships and fans. People are quite happy that I'm here.[10]

Even though Paul Simon used South African township musicians and South African township music, he has a style all his own, and his style and my style are completely different. I don't want to measure anything I do against what Paul Simon does, or any other artist for that matter. I think that is the spirit of competition that I never was used to, and will never get used to. I always feel that I am going to do what I'm doing. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't, but I'm not going to measure myself according to so and so.[10]

My door was open before I sang with Paul Simon, before Paul Simon did anything. With his style and his mixing of our music with his style, it worked for him. It was very good. Maybe more young people are talking about South African music because of Paul Simon.[10]

That doesn't mean that it opened my door, because my door was opened before that. I never sold millions, but my first performance in this country was on the first of November 1959, on Steve Allen's show, which was viewed by 60 million people. Then, I opened at the Village Vanguard the next day. I've stayed here for the next ten years, when in fact, I was only supposed to stay for four weeks. So my little door was there, because I came from nowhere to stay for four weeks, and I wound up staying for ten years and working everywhere.[10]

I've never sold records like Paul Simon has, because it's not the same thing. That's why I don't like the comparison. I cannot dispute the younger people, simply because I was not here from 1969 until I came back with Paul Simon. I was completely oft the scene in this country. So children who are the age of my grandson, who is twenty-one, most of them do not know Miriam Makeba, except for children who have parents who are my fans, who heard the music in their homes. That was not because of anything else except the fact that I was not here. And coming back with Paul Simon in 1987 was very good for me, because I came back then, and coming back in n show like his was just wonderful for me. I hope that I will not be erased again.[10]

246

"Pata Pata" is the song that really took off for me in the sixties. I wasn't very happy about it. Like, man, let me move away from "Pata Pata." But they say, "Hey, people like 'Pata Pata.'" You have to do what people like.[11]

I remember, I did an interview with Al Jackson on the radio in New York, and when "Pata Pata" played, the phones were blinking and blinking because people were calling. There is a friend of mine, Duma, who said, "You see, when 'Pata Pata' plays, all the phones light up." I always say to him, "Get me away from 'Pata Pata,'" and he says, "You can't do anything about it, because that's the song that became big for you, and because the people like it. You've got to keep singing it."[11]

It's the language. Many of my compatriots say they're from South Africa, they hear, "Can you click like Miriam Makeba?" It's like this language is mine. It's not, but they heard it first from me. It's like the short haircut. Some people would ask me. "Why do you wear your hair natural?" and I said, 'You want me to wear my hair unnatural? You answered yourself. It's natural"[11]

One cannot just stay in one place. You have to grow, you have to change, without changing your basic style. I think I completely changed my style and went to sing jazz or something else, people would be shocked, maybe, unless I put just one song of a different type within my usual type of singing. Then it wouldn't be too much of a shock. We're always afraid to do that, because you don't know the reaction you're going to get from the press, from your fans, from everybody else. I think working with Sipho Mabuse brought something a little bit new from the younger generation in South Africa, because he is still in South Africa, and he came from there to Brussels to work with me on the album.[11]

I always wanted to leave home. I never knew they were going to stop me from coming back. Maybe, if I knew, I never would have left. It is kind of painful to be away from everything that you've ever known. Nobody will know the pain of exile until you are in exile. No matter where you go, there are times when people show you kindness and love, and there are times when they make you know that you are with them but not of them. That's when it hurts.[11]

...sentence but the judge wouldn't give it to him. So there was a lake at the prison, and he drowned himself. It was a national story, everyone knew about it. It was also the first musical ever in South Africa.[12]

So Todd was trying to raise the money, and we were going to Capetown with this tour. They called Todd and said, "We've got the money for the music." So he had to leave the tour, and we needed a piano player. We went out to look for a piano player; and somebody told us there's a guy who plays cocktail piano in this lounge.[12]

So the leader of the Manhattan Brothers, Kippie Moeketsi, he was our mentor He knew everything from Bach to Charlie Parker; he was a real militant, but Abdullah Ibrahim and myself use a lot of his sounds and methods. He was one of the kingpins of mbaqanga. He died in 1983, at the age of fifty-nine. A great guy, and real activist. I can only compare his political attitude to Miles Davis, but he was even more intellectual, more scholarly. He was very clear about us being exploited. He always told us, "You are being exploited. Remember that. I'm going to teach you that."[12]

- He taught us everything about Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington. He knew everything: "But remember, even the guys I'm teaching you about were exploited. You will never be free until South Africa is free." He was real radical.[12]

Even when we did the musical, some rich white folks who were liberals and like activists raised the money for King Kong. So when it came time to discuss salaries for the band, because it was big money, was going to be a big hit, had a cast of eighty people. They wanted to pay us some menial money, and Kippie was the one to stand up and say, "You've been exploiting us all our lives. This is our big shot." And he asked for ten times more than what they were offering, otherwise the band was going to walk out. He was our representative. And the other guys were trying to calm him down, and saying. "Kippie, be cool man."[12]

And he said, "No, even you have been exploiting me. I want to get as much as I can out of this, and as much as I can for all the guys."[12]

We ended up getting the most money we've ever been paid. Kippie was really fantastic.[12]

252

He was one of the guys who went out and he chose Dollar Brand to replace Todd Matshikiza. He was the musical mentor of the group. So I spent five months on the road with Abdullah.[13]

The tour didn't go so well. These guys were not so popular anymore. Not as popular as they thought they were. So we got stranded on the road. We lived together under very dire conditions. Africans were not allowed in hotels in those days in South Africa, so every town you went to, you lived with families that were into music, and were relatives of people in the group, and stuff like that. There was actually a time in the tour when we had nothing to eat. But Dambuza, the leader of the Manhattan Brothers, wouldn't give us our railroad tickets back. He kept saying, "The next town. The next town is where we're going to make it."[13]

Five months later, Kippie had been drinking, and he pissed on this guys pants. The audience couldn't see, he said, "Dambuza. I want In go home," and pissed on his pants.[13]

They were doing these steps and you could here the water go slosh. Dambuza looked back and said, "Kippie, I'm going to kill you." And we're all dying of laughter.[13]

So the tour was over, and we finally got home, because Kippie pissed on the guy's leg, and the guy was going to kill him, but the guy finally saw the sense. And my parents, they gave me a rough time about playing music. They said, "We told you. don't be a musician stay in school." I came back weighing 110 pounds.[13]

Abdullah went back to Capetown. I went home and formed a trio.[13]

We went and did this musical, King Kong, which was a smash, ran for about a year and a hall. By the time we were finished, Dollar had his trio, and they were playing a place called the Ambassador Jazz Club. We called each other, and myself, Kippie, and another guy decided to go to Capetown to join Dollar's trio, and we became the Jazz Epistles. We played at the Ambassadors for two months, and you couldn't get into the place. That's when we did all our compositions. Then we moved up to Johannesburg. We were the first group, first African group to do an LP. And then we became a household name.[13]

253

We were about to embark no a national tour when Sharpeville happened and gatherings of more then ten people were banned.[14]

I'd been waiting for a passport, and my passport came through during that waiting period. The band came on in March, and in May, two months later, my passport came through and I left. Since then, I've never really played with Abdullah. I've seen him, but I've never been on his shows. We've never had the opportunity to play together, partly because we're never in the same place, and partly because we've grown in different directions.[14]

He was like the free spirit musically. Him and Kippie. They'd go into an avant garde spin. They were heavy into avant garde. Dollar was really the biggest, I would say he's the authority on Monk. Dollar is Monk right up to lifestyle.[14]

I think it was the inconsistencies and conditions in the environment that made it impossible for me to do the kind of albums that I'm doing now. When I came here, I was alone, and I didn't have access to people who were familiar with the South African dance band medium. So, I ended up with a hybrid, because the musicians that I was playing with when I started were Americans. Su I had to write everything down and explain to them. The groove was difficult for them.[14]

I think that today people have become more universal, and that the younger musicians I usually work with are Americans. They're graduates of the Berkelee school of music. But they know as much, and sometimes even more, about African music than I know. And they are as much scholars of African music as I was of American music when I came here, because I came here as a bebopper.[14]

In South Africa what's amazing—Dizzy said, “I want to join your revolution because it's got so much music. The only thing we had was 'We Shall Overcome.' Every time I see South Africa on TV, they've got a new song."[14]

I said, "I don't know when they rehearse, who writes the lyrics, when they compose the songs, but it's topical. Everything is topical. And they have the choreography down, too. Where do thirty thousand people get together to rehearse something like this?"[14]

254

But South Africa is such a musical place. It's like the Caribbean or Brazil or Zaire is a lot like that. lt lives by music.[15]

Music in Africa is a ceremonial thing. It's used for every occasion. I think it's one of the things that frustrates the colonial mentality. And it saves us. If we were like the Native Americans, purely like a warlike people, I think the music has saved us, because we always go back and sing about what's happening to us. It is the thing that has sustained us. Sometimes, instead of fighting, we'll just sing about it. Most of the time, I think that is what sustained the African American. They were brought here as slaves, they were shackled and whipped, but they sang their asses off. And today, the African American influences 80 percent of popular music. They may not get the returns, but they definitely influence it. And it's a thing that under the conditions and brutality that Africans internationally have had to develop behind, whatever they are given the opportunity to do, they excel in it.[15]

I've also spent a lot time in southern Africa, in Zimbabwe. I lived for four years in Botswana. There are more Botswanans living in South Africa than there are in Botswana. The borders are artificial colonial borders, so it's a great mbaqanga area. And I was able to stop writing music on paper. I found a band that just knew everything that I'd ever done, and every other classic.[15]

I'd sooner be in Botswana now. The reason I left Botswana, there was a South African commando raid on Botswana, and they killed all my friends, all my friends. including the fellow who encouraged me to come to Botswana. Our mothers were friends. we were childhood buddies. And when I was in Lesotho to perform in 1980—I had gone with Miriam Makeba to perform there—we hadn't been in the area in twenty years. I was supposed to go to Botswana to perform, Lesotho and Swaziland. And the governments ol Botswana and Swaziland cancelled our concerts. There was a "cholera epidemic." The government was so scared of the impact of our return. So the Lesotho government said, "Fuck it. There's no cholera here.“ And we played to seventy-five thousand people, Christmas Day 1980.[15]

255
256

But they use that. They say, "If we are so bad. would we allow Graceland? ll we were so bad, would there be a Miriam Makeba, Dollar Brand, Hugh Masekela?"[16]

But what the world doesn't realize is that we are just one percent of one percent, and probably not the most capable, of the artists. But now, we've got a little network, there are a lot of artists who go home, who go in and out.[16]

I think that the only other stage now is to be able to go to a free South Africa and play with guys like Philip Tabane. Philip Tabane is one of our most talented musicians. I'm looking to do an album with him, to produce an album. He is somebody I really admire. He has been doing what he is doing for thirty years.[16]

There are so many great musicians in South Africa. I think that the main problem is that the great artists who are not mainstream in South Africa, guys like Philip Tabane, should be very popular artists internationally, because of what he does, but is not known because somebody has to recognize him, identify him, he has to get an international deal, the record company has to believe that he means something, and give him exposure. When he played at the Apollo, it flipped out the audience. People were on their feet. And they had unbelievable reviews, and then nothing happens alter that.[16]

Being a sangoma doesn't necessarily make you a great artists. It makes you a member ol a certain cultural tradition. I think that more than being a sangoma, Philip Tabane is a great artist. I think that if he just got the right kind of attention, he would fly. But he is one of thousands of people who need a shot.[16]

The main thing is, not only South African artists, but African artists, shouldn't have to come overseas to get recognition. But we're living in a situation where we still have a postcolonial structure in Africa, where anyone who is in recreation or entertainment was originally looked upon as a lazy native, so an infrastructure for the music industry was never really formed in Africa. It is now in its infancy. I would like to help to hurry it up. African artists should not have to 'come from overseas and grovel for attention because there are enough people in Africa to support them, and they can live as well as salsa musicians or samba musicians who come overseas by choice.[16]

257

A person like Philip shouldn't be different from a Milton Nascirnento. He should be able to come over here and go home to a normal society and be appreciated for what he does. He is prevented at home from the people hearing him. The mainstream there is not created by the people. It is created by a record industry that exploits the cheapest desires of African music consumers. In that place, they don't have a space for a person like Philip.[17]

It's the same here in a lot of respects. They go for what's popular, exploit it while it's popular and so a lot of great African American artists making African American classical music, what the media here calls a few things, one of them is Jazz, don't get a shot. I don't know why. There's something sick about this country. Jazz, musicians in this country should have a national endowment, because it is the classical music of this country. If it wasn't for jazz there wouldn't be rock, but racism is so rampant in the industry, that the people who make the music industry what it is get the least benefits from it.[17]

We were in Paris, getting ready to open Sarafina, and we played a month in England. Last Saturday, Sarafina opened in Paris, so I went from Landon to Paris, and I was in the theatre, and someone said, "Fela wants to see you." I saw Fela, and he was doing his new album, Over Takee, Don't Over Takee, Yaa. He's great.[17]

I met Fela. because I had heard about him from a lot of friends when I first came to school. They'd say, "There's a trumpet player just like you in England, his name is Fela." Because he started on trumpet. He picked up the sax when he formed Africa 70.[17]

What happened was, when I peaked here in 1968, I had the number one record in the country for about six weeks. It was incongruous to my political position that I was making all this money, but I came from 27 million oppressed people. And there was something unfulfilling. I had a house in Malibu, I was driving a fancy car, I was living the life, and there just seemed to be an emptiness to success, the way it translated into conspicuous consumption. I felt I wasn't getting enough of what I was about, so I decided that I was going to leave the country.[17]

258

I wanted to go to South Africa, but I couldn't home, because I was at the height of my activist period. lt was the time of the anti-Vietnam war. I was very active. My friends were like Peter Fonda and Crosby and Stills when Crosby was still with the Byrds and Stills was in Buffalo Springfield. The Grateful Dead, the Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, Big Brother and the Holding Company. We were always doing antiwar concerts. Then there was the Black Panthers and Black Power. I was very involved in that.[18]

There was a void in my live. It was great to be involved with American politics, to be antiwar, to be into black power, but still, I was like a Hollywood-type celebrity. I had the fancy car the fancy house by Malibu. I felt I had to get out of the stagnation. I decided to go to Africa. I gave myself a pilgrimage. I bought myself a ticket to about fifteen countries.[18]

I studied in Zaire, and while I was there I saw Franco. I got a house right opposite from his club, and I jammed with him a lot. I was really looking to play with African musicians. I had written to Fela, and he said come over and we'll take it from there. I spent a month with him, and I played with his band a lot. I didn't record with him, but he was helping me find musicians. It was still the same quest. To get closer to the home sod. He said, "The best thing you could do is tour with me. Be a guest artist with the band. So, I did that.[18]

When we got to Ghana, a group called Hedzolleh Soundz opened for him. They really knocked me out. I stayed with that group for about five years; we did about six albums. When I got there I said. "This group knocks me out."[18]

Fela said. "I thought you'd like them. I think you should stay with them."[18]

So he left me in Ghana. I still travel on a Ghana passport. I'm a Ghanan citizen. I speak the languages. I spent seven years, on and off in Ghana.[18]

"Miriam Makeba" from Noise of the World

WHEN I CAME HERE, I was something completely new, because I sang my songs. I sang my "clicking songs," so it was something completely different. It opened the way for many South African artists, including Hugh Masekela, Dollar Brand, what's his name now? Abdullah Ibrahim. At home he was Dollar Brand. He was best known at home as Dollar Brand. Everyone is in. Paul Simon has opened it even wider.[19]

With Harry Belafonte, I had another vehicle, because when I was performing with him, I was reaching more people. His audience was wide, so is Paul's. So when I'm with him, I'm reaching different people. It is an audience that we might never have reached on our own. Paul's audience is completely different. And they like it, when we came on stage, even those who had never heard us before, they were happy to discover and hear. And people left happy: they came backstage and said they liked our music.[19]

I think artists should be like that, should help each other. I've always liked to perform with other artists, because I think I'm contributing something to them as well as they're contributing something to me. Paul's record was big, but in the show, all of us contributed something to make the show the success that it was. I'm very grateful to him, because I feel, through his show, I was able to come back here and renew my old friendships and fans. People are quite happy that I'm here.[19]

Even though Paul Simon used South African township musicians and South African township music, he has a style all his own, and his style and my style are completely different. I don't want to measure anything I do against what Paul Simon does, or any other artist for that matter. I think that is the spirit of competition that I never was used to and will never get used to. I always feel that I am going to do what I'm doing. If it works. it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't, but I'm not going to measure myself according to so and so.[19]

My door was open before I sang with Paul Simon, before Paul Simon did anything. With his style and his mixing of our music with his style, it worked for him. It was very good. Maybe more young people are talking about South African music because of Paul Simon.[19]

That doesn't mean that it opened my door, because my door was opened...[19]

...before that. I never sold millions, but my first performance in this country was on the first of November 1959, on Steve Allen's show, which was viewed by 60 million people. Then I opened at the Village Vanguard the next day. I' stayed here for the next ten years, when in fact I was only supposed to stay for four weeks. So my little door was there, because I came from nowhere to stay for four weeks, and I wound up staying for ten years and working everywhere.[20]

I've never sold records like Paul Simon has, because it's not the same thing. That's why I don't like the comparison. I cannot dispute the younger people, simply because I was not here from 1969 until I came back with Paul Simon. I was completely off the scene in this country. So children who are the age of my grandson, who is twenty-one, most of them do not know Miriam Makeba, except for children who have parents who are my fans, who heard the music in their homes. That was not because of anything else except the fact that I was not here. And coming back with Paul Simon in 1987 was very good for me, because I came back then, and coming back in a show like his was just wonderful for me. I hope that I will not be erased again.[20]

"Pata Pata" is the song that really took off for me in the sixties. I wasn't very happy about it. Like, man, let me move away from "Pata Pata." But they say, "Hey, people like ‘Pata Pata.' " You have to do what people like.[20]

I remember, I did an interview with Al Jackson on the radio in New York, and when "Pata Pata" played, the phones were blinking and blinking because people were calling. There is a friend of mine, Duma, who said, "You see, when ‘Pata Pata' plays, all the phones light up." I always say to him, "Get me away from ‘Pata Pata,' " and he says, "You can't do anything about it, because that's the song that became big for you, and because the people like it. You've got to keep singing it."[20]

It's the language. Many of my compatriots say they're from South Africa, they hear, "Can you click like Miriam Makeba?" It's like this language is mine. It's not, but they heard it first from me. It's like the short haircut. Some people would ask me, "Why do you wear your hair natural?" and I said, "You want me to wear my hair unnatural? You answered yourself. It's natural."[20]

One cannot just stay in one place. You have to grow, you have to change, without changing your basic style. I think if I completely changed my style and went to sing jazz or something else, people would be shocked, maybe, unless I put just one song of a different type within my usual type of singing. Then it wouldn't be too much of a shock. We're always afraid to do...[20]

...that, because you don't know the reaction you're going to get from the press, from your fans, from everybody else. I think working with Sipho Mabuse brought something a little bit new from the younger generation in South Africa, because he is still in South Africa, and he came from there to Brussels to work with me on the album.[21]

I always wanted to leave home. I never knew they were going to stop me from coming back. Maybe, if I knew, I never would have left. It is kind of painful to be away from everything that you've ever known. Nobody will know the pain of exile until you are in exile. No matter where you go, there are times when people show you kindness and love, and there are times when they make you know that you are with them but not of them. That's when it hurts.[21]

I was banned from going home. I am still banned, but in the past year, I got phone calls from home from people saying that the government said I could come home if I want to and I apply for a visa, just like anybody else, because I'm not South African any more. I told the newspaper guy who called me, "Well, you can tell them that I consider myself South African, always South African" If I have any other travel document that I am using, it is an honorary one, because I never renounced my citizenship of birth, and second, we have leaders who are in prison; we have a state of emergency that keeps our people in prison. If they say we can come home, then lift the state of emergency, release all our people from prison, and let all our exiles come back home and be free, to come back home and vote for whomever we want to vote for. We might surprise them. We might vote for one of them. They don't know that. They should give us at least that opportunity. For me to just be told I can go home, why was I told that I couldn't go home in the first place. I never understood that.[21]

I must say I was the first person to come over and let people discover a little of our culture, not only of South Africa, but of Africa. That's why they call me Mama Africa. I always knew that it was possible. All I needed to do was be here. I'm very confident about that because I know I have something different and special to give. There aren't too many Makebas.[21]

PART 3 Music: and Social Transformation

My Story

Miriam Makeba

Singer, songwriter, author, actress, former UN ambassador and outspoken anti-apartheid activist, Miriam Makeba was the first African recording artist to be awarded a Grammy. She began her career in the 1950s with groups such as The Manhattan Brothers, then formed her own female vocal group, the Skylarks. Banned from returning to SA after she toured overseas with King Kong, she was in exile for 30 years, in the US then Guinea. She returned to SA in 1990.[3]

On stage I wear the robe that belonged to my mother, the isangoma. The colours swirl and come together on this robe, they are the dark brown of the earth, and the deep blue of the sky. I do not wear this heirloom from my mother all the time, only every so often. And every so often, a strange thing happens when I sing. I do a song, but I am not conscious of it. After we leave the stage, I ask my musicians, 'Did I sing such-and-such song?' 'Oh, yes', they tell me. But I have no memory of it, When I see films of the show or listen to tapes, there I am, dancing with all the life that is in me, and there is my voice and no other's. I cannot explain why I should 'black out'. And no one can explain it to me.[3]

I used the expression, 'dancing with all the life that is in me'. During a trip to Swaziland in 1980, it is first suggested that the life that is in me may be more than just my own. l meet my niece Yvorne, who lives here in Swaziland. Yvorne, whose African name is Nonsikelelo, is very dear to me. I thank my ancestors and the Superior Being and anyone else who has favoured me with her, because Yvorne is the only one of my family I can see and touch in my exile. When I left South Africa, it was she who did what I once did and assisted my mother when the omadlozi came and my mother went into one of her trances. Yvorne knows all about isangomas. She takes me to consult with one. This is a task that all my people must do if they are ill, or if they want word of their ancestors, or if strange things are bothering them.[3]

The isangoma, a young woman, talks to me in her hut. She doesn't know me at all, but she asks, 'Don't you sometimes feel that you didn't sing this or that song when you perform?' I am amazed. She then tells me what others have suggested over the years: that I, like my mother, am possessed by amadlozi. I have always wondered about this. My mother's spirits almost destroyed her before she went through ukuthwasa. If a person who is it channel for spirits suppresses them, they can make that person ill, or even kill them. If I am a channel for some spirits, like...[3]

138

...my mother was, why don't they make themselves known to me by causing illnesses or misfortune?[22]

But they have made themselves known, the isangoma says. My spirits are stealing the show! Amadlozi are show-offs. This is why they made my mother dress in their clothes and carry on when she was in their spell. I sing before the public, and the spirits get a chance to steal my mind and present themselves. That is why to this day I have been excused, and I may still be excused from going through the hard ordeal of ukutlrwasa and becoming an isangoma.[22]

[...]

For many years they have called me 'The Empress of African Song'. But when Swiss television comes to do a documentary about my life, they choose the title Mama Africa. In Europe there is a film competition among the French-speaking nations teaming with French-speaking African nations. Switzerland chooses Guinea instead of the Ivory Coast, Gabon, Senegal, or the other former French colonies because I live here and they want to use me as their subject.[22]

To the film-makers I represent the continent and its music to the Western world. African music, though very old, is always being rediscovered in the West. Then it becomes new, and very hip. Just recently I was in Nuremberg, Germany. My new manager. Willie Leiser, booked me into a rock festival, I did not know why. The main group was The Who, and the other groups were also rock 'n' roll. When I came on, the young people in the audience did not know what to make of me. They suddenly became the most hostile audience I ever had. And for the first time in my life things were thrown at me: beer cans. paper airplanes. I almost walked off stage. But something told me I should continue. But I was angry! My anger must have gone into the force of my singing, because the audience was silent before I could finish the song. When I was done they were just standing there. And by the end of my set. they were screaming. When l my musicians and I left the stage, the screaming went on and on for so long. I had to be called back.[22]

Discography[edit]

Mondo TV

Moogfest[edit]

"When I opened the T-burg shop, I thought I was going into the electronic kit business," Moog told the Chronicle. "Then I met a composer who wanted to make electronic music on tape. We got together just for fun."[23]

Today the once-cumbersome synthesizer fits on a microchip. Car alarms, computer chimes and the sound signatures of products like Maxwell House coffee are all sonic concatenations of Moog's original works.[23]

Minimoog/Emerson live...Wakeman/solo instrument....

"Until Bob Moog came along, we (keyboard players) were hidden in the background. He gave us an instrument that can cut through concrete and frighten guitarists to death," growled Rick Wakeman, the hulking, platinum-blonde keyboard player for the progressive rock band Yes.[24]

"Emerson came out with a cape, he brought his vintage, 8-foot-tall Moog that had to be carted in with its own truck!”[25]

"Bob was very grateful, it was a very emotional night for him to have people who he helped over the years come and pay tribute to him. He came out on stage, spoke, and introduced the closer, Keith Emerson, who was a spectacle; Emerson came out with a cape, he brought his vintage, 8-foot-tall Moog that had to be carted in with its own truck!"[25]

Such resounding success energized Carlini and he was soon planning another Moogfest for the following May, but as the event approached, he encountered unexpected resistance from Moog Music regarding Bob’s involvement. “I didn’t know that Bob was ill; Mike Adams didn’t want to divulge that Bob was sick. I said ‘Bob has to show up; the festival is centered around him! He needs to make an appearance, even if for 20 minutes.’ I kept pushing, and Bob emailed me and said ‘I’m having some life challenges and I am unable to come out, as much as I would love to be there.’”[25]

"The other major change was to recast Moogfest as a contemporary music event that celebrates a new generation of musical performers who are pushing the boundaries of electronic music. We also opened it up so that it wasn't strictly about artists playing Moog instruments, though many if not most do, but rather about Bob Moog's legacy as innovator who opened up a whole new toolbox to inspire the creative imagination of generations of musicians. We love the history of Moog and many of those classic artists too—we intend to include them in future festivals—but we wanted Moogfest to be a celebration of the present and the future, and not only the past."[25]

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Mark Mothersbaugh, the keyboardist and singer of Devo, reminisced on Friday night about visiting the R. A. Moog Company’s synthesizer factory in Buffalo some time in 1971 or 1972. “It was like heaven,” he said. He was onstage here at Moogfest, a three-day festival with more than 60 acts — bands and disc jockeys, theremin soloists and professed synthesizer geeks — to celebrate the Moog synthesizer, an instrument that transformed music by giving composers countless new sounds.[26]

At the factory, Mr. Mothersbaugh said, he saw shelves holding rows of Minimoogs, the pioneering, suitcase-size synthesizer that was introduced in 1970 and made electronic music portable. It was, he declared, “the most futuristic thing I’d ever seen.”[26]

That future was four decades ago, before digital synthesizers, laptop computers and smartphones put the tools for electronic music on desks and in pockets. Moog Music, as the company was renamed, is now in Asheville, in the mountains of western North Carolina where Robert Moog (pronounced to rhyme with “rogue”), the inventor behind the synthesizer, lived from 1978 until his death, in 2005.[26]

The nonprofit Bob Moog Foundation is raising money to build a “Moogseum” here based around Mr. Moog’s extensive archives, and it presented daytime panel discussions on the history of the synthesizer, featuring Mr. Moog’s collaborators and resurrecting some of his early equipment. A display case at the Orange Peel, a club commandeered by Moogfest, held a Minimoogseum: a history of the Minimoog and a playable theremin.[26]

But Moogs were not mandatory for acts wanting a festival booking. “It’s a thread, it’s not a box,” said Ashley Capps, whose company, AC Entertainment, produced Moogfest.[26]

Matmos, an electronic duo whose brilliant set built terse loops into overarching, evolving structures — largely meditative, occasionally wry — confessed that it was using Roland synthesizers. There were also Korgs, Yamahas, Nords and plenty of unassuming laptops, many of them loaded with Moog samples, in a lineup oriented toward the electronic and the experimental.[26]

Mr. Moog’s original 1964 synthesizer — he called it the Abominatron — was bulky, balky and sometimes unpredictable. It was analog, not digital, creating sounds by sending a continuous electronic signal to a speaker, not a stream of numbers through a converter. To analog devotees that continuous signal is intrinsically superior to digital music, which reproduces sound with tens of thousands of samples per second, which means tens of thousands of infinitesimal gaps between them. Analog sound, said Amos Gaynes, Moog Music’s applications engineer, has infinite resolution, “down to the granular level at which reality is perceived.”[26]

The first commercial Moog synthesizers could play only one note at a time, not always in tune. Early synthesizer users had no preset sounds to fall back on: they plugged in patch cords, turned knobs and experimented. A musician could create a sound, but the synthesizer had no memory; once the sound was changed, it was gone, possibly forever. Heat and humidity also affected the instrument. When digital synthesizers arrived, in the 1980s, sales and prices plunged for those primitive analog synthesizers. They seemed destined for obsolescence.[26]

But not so fast. From their sometimes-unstable oscillators, filters and amplifiers, Moogs and other analog synthesizers produced sounds that more reliable digital synthesizers would not: buzzes, swoops, whooshes, scrapes, gurgles, screeches, burps, crackles and countless other onomatopoeia-worthy noises. Interactions among the waveforms that were generated by the oscillators, and modulated by waveforms from other oscillators, or from a noise generator, were often untamed. Turning a knob or wiggling a wheel on the Minimoog could radically change a timbre in mid-note, making it feel more handmade, less synthetic. Analog sounds are a funky corrective to sterile digital tones; colliding waveforms make a beautiful noise.[26]

Moogfest was a festival of strange sounds and monumental beats, of drones and loops, and of synthetic tones that grew to feel natural. For extra oddity a good part of the audience wore Halloween costumes all weekend.[26]

Neon Indian’s wistful pop marches emerged from thickets of staticky synthesizer noise and disappeared back into them. Panda Bear, from Animal Collective, sang high, chantlike melodies over unswerving synthesizer and guitar drones in what came to sound like cries from the heart. Omar Souleyman, from Syria, sang heartily about love and street life over booming 4/4 drumbeats, while his keyboardist simulated traditional Middle Eastern instruments on two synthesizers. Emeralds played one continuous, very gradually unfolding song, with Moog sounds rippling and percolating through it.[26]

From their laptops and mixers, disc jockey-producers dispensed reveries and onslaughts. Saturn Never Sleeps, the duo of King Britt and Rucyl (both working mixers) backed Rucyl’s airy, echoing voice with fits and starts of percussion and a bass undertow. Mimosa played quick-change remixes, switching from verse to verse among harsh drumbeats, quasi-classical strings, even a little ragtime. Ikonika played a magnificently aggressive set of revved-up hyperdub, a blitz of drumbeats.[26]

Moogfest even included unsynthesized music, in two sets of lapidary, elegant pop by Clare and the Reasons, who played Clare Muldaur Manchon’s songs and then backed up the elusive songwriter (and Beach Boys collaborator in the 1960s) Van Dyke Parks.[26]

For younger bands analog synthesizers are a means to summon and twist nostalgia. Moog sounds are inseparable from some of the most influential music of the 1970s: new wave, synth-pop, funk. Gerald Casale of Devo said in an interview that in Devo’s music “we called the Moog a poison gas vapor,” adding, “It was allowed to come in and swirl around and interject rude and random things that didn’t fit a rock ’n’ roll lexicon. We were hoping for that.”[26]

The original Minimoog benefited not only from its portability but also from a design flaw. Bill Hemsath, who was Moog’s chief engineer and the main inventor of the Minimoog, revealed that some specifications for the Minimoog’s filter section were incorrect, overdriving it by about 15 decibels. “Nobody caught it, and it went into production,” Mr. Hemsath said, adding that it gave the Minimoog a ferocious bass sound musicians soon exploited.[26]

The synthesizer bass lines that pumped through 1970s funk — and have been recycled by hip-hop — were spearheaded by the keyboardist Bernie Worrell in Parliament’s 1977 song “Flash Light” using three connected Minimoogs; he has also received a Moog Award. Mr. Worrell performed at Moogfest with Headtronics, a trio with drumbeats and vinyl scratching from DJ Spooky and Freekbass on bass; he poked and teased at the melodies, making his Minimoog cackle and whoosh. “It’s a dinosaur, but you still can’t beat that sound,” he said in an interview.[26]

The comeback of analog synthesis has been accelerated by software that simulates the interactions of the old oscillators, filters and amplifiers. Instead of pampering some aging (and increasingly expensive) equipment, computer users can, if they wish, turn an infinite number of virtual knobs and plug in an infinite number of virtual patch cords — and then, if they wish, output the digitally generated voltage through analog components. Moog Music recently released an iPhone app, Filtatron, that looks like classic Moog modules and creates similar sounds. “This is actually the best time in human history to be into analog synthesis,” said Mr. Gaynes, the applications engineer.[26]

At Moogfest what once seemed primitive was claiming its own future.[26]

This year, under the guidance of AC Entertainment (which also produce Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival and the Big Ears Festival) Moogfest is shaping up to be an undeniable mix of some of electronic music’s best with scheduled performances by notable artist such as M83, the Flaming Lips, SBTRKT, St. Vincent, Amon Tobin, STS9, Flying Lotus, Toro Y Moi, Twin Shadow, Chromeo, TV on the Radio, Moby, Crystal Castles, James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem), Tangerine Dream, Neon Indian, Battles and Ghostland Observatory.[27]

Think about midcentury sci-fi and horror flicks. Do you remember those haunting tones that heralded the presence of aliens or ghosts? That sound was made by a theremin, and Bob Moog might have built it. As a teen in the ’50s, he began making and selling his own version of the electromagnetic noisemaker. Then he took what he learned and created the first relatively cheap and commercially available analog synthesizer in 1964. His ever-expanding line of instruments would go on to be used by rockers like the Beatles, electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk, and composers of a slew of classic movie soundtracks (think John Carpenter’s Halloween or Wendy Carlos’ chilling scores for The Shining and A Clockwork Orange). Moog died in 2005, but his eponymous company remains a popular manufacturer of theremins, and its synths are still favorites of acts from the Beastie Boys and Air to Ben Folds and Dr. Dre.[28]

But rather than bringing only the biggest names in electronic music, there was an initiative to include the underground scene following the Moog spirit of innovation and creativity, says Jeff Cuellar, AC Entertainment director of connectivity.[27]

“Even though the lineup is primarily electronic, it's not about limiting the festival to a particular genre, but rather to cherish the daring vision of an artist pushing the boundaries of music,” Cuellar said.[27]

Moogfest got it start in New York City, but last year made the transition to North Carolina. With the move, the festival has been allowed to spread throughout downtown, where it will be held in some of the city’s best clubs, surrounded by the beauty and history of Asheville.[27]

Speaking with GateHouse Media, Cuellar said that in the second year of Moogfest under AC Entertainment, guests and artists should expect great things.[27]

“Last year we had a great time,” he said. “This year, we’re looking to top it and we’ve got a lot planned for those three days.”[27]

Cuellar said that the core of Moogfest has been the community of artists combined with the location of Asheville.[27]

“The downtown is gorgeous, and I think it’s perfect to have the event right there so people can just walk around and see the city while enjoying some of the best music out there now,” he said.[27]

Cuellar said that Moogfest provides an opportunity for artists and fans alike to gather together for a weekend full of collaborations.[27]

“Usually artists just come in for the day they’re playing at a festival, they play and then they leave,” he said. “But here the musicians are excited to perform as well as hang out with other artists, which sometimes leads to some amazing collaborations on stage.”[27]

In addition, Cuellar said, the fact that Moogfest falls on Halloween this year should knock the festival excitement up a few notches.[27]

“We’ll be dishing out treats for the fans and you’ll find more about that as we get closer, but we’re very excited about the atmosphere, the mind bending music and all of the side events we have planned for that weekend,” Cuellar said.[27]

The Flaming Lips, Moby, Passion Pit, STS9, Tangerine Dream, TV on the Radio, Special Disco Version featuring James Murphy and Pat Mahoney (DFA/LCD Soundsystem), Umphrey’s McGee, Chromeo, Crystal Castles, Amon Tobin: ISAM Live, Flying Lotus, Suicide (playing their legendary first album in its entirety), Ghostland Observatory, Childish Gambino, M83, Neon Indian, St. Vincent, Beak>, Matthew Dear, Tim Hecker, Anika, Toro Y Moi, Zomby, John Maus, CANT, and Oneohtrix Point Never, are just some of the many stellar acts gathering for this year’s Moogfest, the annual festival celebrating the vision of sonic pioneer Bob Moog, happening October 28-30 in Asheville, NC. Also Brian Eno’s extraordinary video installation, 77 Million Paintings, will be exhibited for the first time in the United States outside of the West Coast. Eno will also present his mind-expanding “Illustrated Talk.” The day-by-day breakdown is below.

Also, Moogfest 2011 is expanding in a big way. In addition to concerts at the Asheville Civic Center Arena, Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, and the Orange Peel, new venues for the weekend will include the newly renovated Asheville Music Hall (formerly Stella Blue), the beautiful and intimate Diana Wortham Theatre, and news of an outdoor venue will be announced soon.

Additionally, details surrounding the fine arts component of Moogfest are ready to be shared. SYNTH: A Group Art Show Inspired by Bob Moog, is a showcase of handmade limited-edition screen prints by some of the top concert poster artists and graphic designers working today. This year’s show will also feature a special limited edition print created by The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne. All proceeds from SYNTH go to support the Bob Moog Foundation. For more information and a list of confirmed artists, visit www.moogfest.com.

Of course, there is a ton more in store – information on this year’s workshops, interactive experiences and discussion panels will be announced in the coming weeks. Additionally, this year there will be surprise daytime performances and events all over town on Saturday and Sunday.

Single day tickets are now on sale, and weekend passes are still available at www.moogfest.com. Brian Eno’s 77 Million Paintings and Illustrated Talk are separately ticketed events, specially priced for Moogfest attendees. Visit www.moogfest.com for more information.

One promoter taking advantage of changing tastes is Ashley Capps. Later this month he is putting on Moogfest, a three-day music festival dedicated to the synthesizer invented by Bob Moog.[29]

Some 12,000 concertgoers paying as much as $350 are expected to attend each day. And all of this, arguably, was made possible by regulators flexible enough to look for alternatives to blocking Live Nation’s deal.[29]

Music[edit]

Live performances[edit]

«J'ai aimé la vie en bus, ce côté saltimbanque et collectif.»
("I loved the life by bus, this side street entertainer and collective.")

—Natacha Régnier[3]

Performing live, along with his collection of vinyl records, is among his greatest passions. His live performances vary greatly. Sometimes he is accompanied by an orchestra and many guest collaborators. Other times, he offers the more frequent minimalistic sessions, usually accompanied only by a drummer/bassist and a guitarist, with Tiersen switching seamlessly between piano, accordion, and violin for his lighter songs, and electric guitar for his louder pieces (where his Avant-Garde music meet some rock sonorities). Lately, however, he has almost banished piano, accordion, and violin, and focused more on his electric guitar and synthesizer instead. Tiersen started his live career by playing guitar for several local post-punk-influenced bands, then he toured Brittany performing alone and playing many instruments. This gave him the reputation of a one-man show, and lead him to perform at the 1996's Avignon Festival.[4]

His third studio album, Le Phare, propelled Tiersen to national acclaim, and this changed the quantity, the quality, and the number of artists involved in his concerts.

On 2 December 1998, Tiersen, accompanied by many guests, was the opening act for the Rencontres Trans Musicales in Rennes. The concert was broadcasted on France Inter for the C'est Lenoir show, producing his first live album, Black Session: Yann Tiersen.[5]



Le Phare (English: The Lighthouse) .... "Sur le fil" has become a live favourite, normally only the violin section performed with great intensity, sometimes even breaking many hairs on the bow.[6]


As Tiersen's acclaim grew, so did the scope of his records. That year's Black Sessions -- a live album of a radio performance -- featured collaborations with Dominique A. and the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon, as well bands like Les Têtes Raides and the Married Monk, who also appeared on 1999's more rock-oriented album Tout Est Calme.[4]

In this period, Tiersen also took his music out around the world, playing shows with a full orchestra and an amplified string quartet – a set-up captured on 2002’s electrifying live album C'etait ici.[7]

Throughout 2001 and 2002, Tiersen embarked on his most ambitious tours of France and the U.K. to date; this tour was chronicled in 2003's live album C'Était Ici. He also toured frequently, releasing a live album in 2006. Tiersen began a world tour in New York to support the album, and took a brief respite before jumping back into the studio.[4]

In this period, Tiersen also took his music out around the world, playing shows with a full orchestra and an amplified string quartet.[7] On 15, 16, and 17 February 2002, Tiersen with many of the collaborators who participated in the recording sessions for L'Absente plus Claire Pichet, violinists Nicholas Stevens and Renaud Lhoest, bassist Jean-François Assy, viola player Olivier Tilkin, and uilleann pipes, bagpipes, and low whistle player Ronan Le Bars, performed live at the Cité de la Musique (English: City of Music) in Paris. Part of these three concerts went on to form Tiersen's second live album C'était ici ([It Was Here] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)), which was released through EMI France on 30 September 2002.[8]

The subsequent world tour of 2006 replaced the multi-instrumental ensemble with electric guitars and an ondes Martenot, and produced his third live album, On Tour, which was released together with a DVD, directed by Aurélie du Boys, about the tour, in November 2006.

The record was promoted in a tour beginning in October 2010, starting in New York.

On 18 February 2012, Tiersen with Lionel Laquerriere, and Thomas Poli, presented his side project, Elektronische Staubband, at La Route du Rock music festival in Saint-Malo. It was about an hour of krautrock, electronic, and experimental music involving a dozen of synthesizers and analog keyboards with the first three pieces of the set list taken from Dust Lane and the remaining five from Skyline.[9] Tiersen was also chosen by Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival on March 2012 in Minehead, England.[10] Skyline was released in North America via ANTI- Records on 17 April 2012, and it was followed by the Skyline Tour with dates in the United States, Canada, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, France, Slovak Republic, Austria, Finland, and the United Kingdom.


As Tiersen's acclaim grew, so did the scope of his records. That year's Black Sessions -- a live album of a radio performance -- featured collaborations with Dominique A. and the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon, as well bands like Les Têtes Raides and the Married Monk, who also appeared on 1999's more rock-oriented album Tout Est Calme.[4]

The live concert with Claire Pichet, Dominique A, Neil Hannon, Bertrand Cantat, Françoiz Breut, The Married Monk, Têtes Raides, the Quatuor à cordes, Olivier Mellano, and Mathieu Boogaerts, on 2 December 1998 at the Théâtre National de Bretagne in Rennes as the opening act of the Rencontres Trans Musicales, marked a change of direction for Tiersen and the one-man show gives way to more artistic collaborations, experimentations, fusion and exchange of different musical genres. His compositions and orchestrations, as well as his live concerts, now involve several other musical instruments and from two to dozens of musicians.


Tiersen favors the piano, violin, and accordion but is also known for his experimentation and use of obscure and found instruments like the ondes martenot and the typewriter.

Le Phare (English: The Lighthouse) .... Typical of Tiersen's work: violin, mandolin, accordion and piano feature heavily, as well as some more unusual instrumentation including a bicycle wheel, typewriters and saucepans.

One year later, in April 1996, he released Rue des cascades, a collection of short pieces recorded with toy piano, harpsichord, violin, accordion, and mandolin.

confirming Tiersen's status as one of the most pioneering and original artists of his generation and commencing a run of successful albums.[7]

The recordings started out as simple song based tracks with Tiersen playing acoustic guitar, mandolin and bouzouki. New layers were added to the recordings creating a more complex sound. Then an array of vintage synthesisers and electric guitars were added to create further textures.[2]

Tiersen with Lionel Laquerriere, and Thomas Poli, presented his side project, Elektronische Staubband, krautrock, electronic, and experimental music involving a dozen of synthesizers and analog keyboards.[11]

Tiersen is considered a sought-after composer, not only for his soundtrack work, but in his own right.[4]

Borrowing from French folk music, chanson, musette waltz, and street music, as well as rock, avant-garde, and classical and minimalist influences[4]

Tiersen's true musical heritage is American and British punk and post-punk - he is more influenced by Joy Division, Michael Nyman and Penguin Café Orchestra than by French chanson. "The same with the accordion. I couldn't play a brass instrument - I tried but I was really bad - I couldn't play the flute, and the accordion was a keyboard so it was easy," he says modestly. "I didn't know French musette music at all. Even people like Jacques Brel - I discovered Brel through Scott Walker. My parents listened to Brel, of course, but when you're a teenager you're not interested. So it was only when I heard Scott Walker's versions that I thought 'this is fucking good', you know. The only French singer I listened to was Serge Gainsbourg." Tiersen would go on to invite Gainsbourg's muse Jane Birkin to guest on Les retrouvailles.[2]


(2003) and Tabarly (2008), a documentary about the French sailor Éric Tabarly, who ate his final meal on Ouessant Island before he meeting a watery end in the Irish sea.[7]


2008 saw his return After a five years absence as a composer of film scores when he provided the background music for Tabarly, a Pierre Marcel's documentary film about the French sailor, two-time champion of the Single-Handed Trans-Atlantic Race, and father of French yachting Éric Tabarly. The documentary was released on June 2008 exactly ten years after his death. Éric Tabarly was lost at Irish Sea when struck by a gaff of his Pen Duick during heavy swell and knocked overboard from his yacht near Wales while on his way to the Fife Regatta in Scotland. His body was recovered five weeks later off the coast of Ireland by a French fishing trawler. The documentary narrator is Tabarly himself while he was eating his last meal in Ushant.[7]

The Paris-based composer became popular outside his native country for his score to Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amélie, but like most seemingly overnight successes, he had been working for years before the film's success brought him international acclaim.[4]

At the same time, Tiersen was also composing soundtracks for short films and accompaniment for plays. Several of these pieces ended up on his first album, Valse des Monstres.[4]

As Tiersen's acclaim grew, so did the scope of his records. Tiersen was preparing his next album when he was contacted by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who wanted Tiersen to score his next movie, Amélie. Jeunet had heard Tiersen's music while driving and had been so taken with it that he bought all of Tiersen's albums. Previously, the composer had contributed music to films such as Alice et Martin and La Vie Revee des Angess, but this was his most prominent film work yet. His Amélie score featured new and old compositions, and the film's success spun off to Tiersen's music; the soundtrack sold over 200,000 copies in his homeland.[4]

Later that year, Tiersen's score for Good Bye Lenin! arrived. Tiersen spent the rest of the 2000s alternating between film and pop music, issuing the score to Les Retrouvailles.[4]





In that period Tiersen provided a new arrangement and played strings, vibraphone, bell, mandolin, electric guitar, and bass guitar for the song "A ton étoile" by on their 1997 compilation album One Trip / One Noise.

recorded Bästard ~ Yann Tiersen, a 3-track extended play released in 1997 in collaboration with French electronic rock band Bästard,

Black Session: Yann Tiersen is the first live album of French avant-garde musician and composer Yann Tiersen. The live album was recorded by France International on 2 December 1998 as the opening act of the Rencontres Trans Musicales in the Salle Serreau at the Théâtre National de Bretagne in Rennes, for the C'est Lenoir show broadcasted on the French public radio station France Inter. It was subsequently mastered by Radio France, and released in CD format one year later on 2 November 1999. The album features Tiersen with Claire Pichet, Dominique A, Northern Irish singer, songwriter, and frontman of the chamber pop group The Divine Comedy Neil Hannon, singer and songwriter Bertrand Cantat of Noir Désir, singer and illustrator Françoiz Breut, anglophone French rock band The Married Monk (Christian Quermalet, Philippe Lebruman, Etienne Jaumet, Nicolas Courret), French folk rock group Têtes Raides (Christian Olivier, Grègoire Simon, Pascal Olivier, Anne-Gaëlle Bisquay, Serge Bégout, Jean-Luc Millot, and Edith Bégou), the string quartet Quatuor à cordes, guitarist and composer Olivier Mellano, and author Mathieu Boogaerts.[5]

As Tiersen's acclaim grew, so did the scope of his records. That year's Black Sessions -- a live album of a radio performance -- featured collaborations with Dominique A. and the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon, as well bands like Les Têtes Raides and the Married Monk, who also appeared on 1999's more rock-oriented album Tout Est Calme.[4]

In 1999, Tiersen released in collaboration with The Married Monk, Claire Pichet, and Olivier Mellano his fourth studio/first collaboration??? album, Tout est calme. The 26 minutes, 10 tracks mini album also saw the participation of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lisa Germano, Neil Hannon, Françoiz Breut, Têtes Raides, Sacha Toorop, the actress Natacha Regnier???, Christian Quermalet, Marc Sens, Christine Ott, the Quatuor à cordes, and Dominique A.[12]

Tiersen is also featured on The Divine Comedy's single "Gin Soaked Boy" released on that same year, and on three tracks for Françoiz Breut's album Vingt à Trente Mille Jours, released in 2000.

His next proper album, 2001's Absente, featured collaborations with Lisa Germano, as well as longtime contributors Hannon and Dominique A. Throughout 2001 and 2002, Tiersen embarked on his most ambitious tours of France and the U.K. to date; this tour was chronicled in 2003's live album C'Était Ici. Les Retrouvailles and the collaboration Yann Tiersen & Shannon Wright in 2005. He also toured frequently, releasing a live album in 2006. Dust Lane, an album focusing on mortality, arrived in 2010. Tiersen began a world tour in New York to support the album, and took a brief respite before jumping back into the studio. The single "Monuments" was released in July of 2011 as an enticement for his next full-length album, Skyline, which was released in Europe on October 17, 2011 and in the United States a week later.[4]

Tiersen's list of collaborators continues to grow album after album.

musical talent to Françoiz Breut and Les Têtes Raides for their own albums. Yann Tiersen & Shannon Wright, a collaboration album with American singer-songwriter Shannon Wright, was released in October 2004, and his 2005 album, Les Retrouvailles, featured vocals from Stuart Staples of Tindersticks, Jane Birkin, and Elizabeth Fraser, formerly of Cocteau Twins. Tiersen also played piano on Staples' solo album, Lucky Dog Recordings 03-04.

While he was writing the film score for Amélie Tiersen was also preparing his fifth studio album L'Absente.[13] The album was characterized by several contributions including 35-member Ensemble Orchestral Synaxis conducted by Guillaume Bourgogne, viola player Bertrand Lambert, violinists Yann Bisquay and Sophie Naboulay, Natacha Régnier, and saxophonist Grégoire Simon, and long-time collaborators Dominique A, Christine Ott, Lisa Germano, Neil Hannon, Têtes Raides, Christian Quermalet, Marc Sens, and Sacha Toorop. The album, which was released on 5 June 2001 through EMI France, was preceded by two promotional singles for "A quai" and "Bagatelle" respectively. Tiersen provided strings and vibraphone to two tracks, "Roma Amor" and "Holidays", featured on The Married Monk's compilation album of the same name.

In this period, Tiersen also took his music out around the world, playing shows with a full orchestra and an amplified string quartet.[7] On 15, 16, and 17 February 2002, Tiersen with many of the collaborators who participated in the recording sessions for L'Absente plus Claire Pichet, violinists Nicholas Stevens and Renaud Lhoest, bassist Jean-François Assy, viola player Olivier Tilkin, and uilleann pipes, bagpipes, and low whistle player Ronan Le Bars, performed live at the Cité de la Musique (English: City of Music) in Paris. Part of these three concerts went on to form Tiersen's second live album C'était ici ([It Was Here] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)), which was released through EMI France on 30 September 2002.[14]

On 15 November 2003, Tiersen with Stuart A. Staples, the lead singer of indie band Tindersticks, actress and singer Jane Birkin, singer and vocalist for Cocteau Twins Elizabeth Fraser, singer and songwriter Christophe Miossec, and Dominique A released 3 titres inédits au profit de la FIDH ([3 New Tracks for the Benefit of FIDH] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)), a 3-track CD that was part of the On Aime, On Aide benefit collection for raising funds for the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH).[15]

Tiersen's list of collaborators continues to grow album after album and in October 2004 released Yann Tiersen & Shannon Wright, a collaboration album with American singer-songwriter Shannon Wright, was released in October 2004, and in the same year he is featured on The Divine Comedy's album Absent Friends.

In 2005, Tiersen released his fifth studio album Les Retrouvailles. The album features several collaborators including the Orchestre National de Paris, singers Elizabeth Fraser, Jane Birkin, Stuart A. Staples, Dominique A, and Miossec, strings players Jean-François Assy, Frederic Dessus, Guillaume Fontanarosa, Bertrand Causse, Anne Causse Biragnet, Armelle Legoff, Frédéric Haffner, flute player Elliott, drummer Ludovic Morillon, and ondes Martenot player Christine Ott. Les Retrouvailles also includes a DVD short film entitled La Traversée, directed by Aurélie du Boys, which documents the making of the album in Ushant, and incorporates an animated video for the non-album track, "Le Train", and also live versions of a handful of songs. The album produced a single, "Kala", sung by Elizabeth Fraser, and Tiersen also played piano on Staples' solo debut album, Lucky Dog Recordings 03-04.

Before the end of the decade, Tiersen contributed to Christine Ott's debut solo album Solitude Nomade, and to Miossec's seventh studio album Finistériens.

October 2010 saw the release of Tiersen’s sixth studio album titled Dust Lane. The album was two years in the making and was largely recorded in Ushant, France. Further parts were recorded in the Philippines. The album is preoccupied with mortality; during the recording sessions Tiersen lost his mother and a close friend. The recordings started out as simple song based tracks with Tiersen playing acoustic guitar, mandolin and bouzouki. New layers were added to the recordings creating a more complex sound. Then an array of vintage synthesisers and electric guitars were added to create further textures.[2][16] The album was released by Mute Records in Europe and ANTI- Records in the US. The record was promoted in a tour beginning in October 2010, starting in New York.[17] Dust Lane was preceded by the release of the vinyl EP PALESTINE and by the single for "Ashes". In 2010, Tiersen also contributed to the tribute album to cross-genre, experimental music group Coil The Dark Age of Love by This Immortal Coil, a one-off tribute formation, and to Li(f)e, the fourth solo studio album by hip-hop artist Sage Francis.

October 2011 saw the European release of his seventh studio album, Skyline. The nine-track album, a follow on from his Dark Lane, was once again recorded at Tiersen's home on the island of Ushant in the south-western end of the English Channel, with further parts recorded in Paris, San Francisco, Berlin, and Nashville. It was subsequently mixed by producer Ken Thomas in Leeds, and mastered by Ray Staff in London.[7] The album produced the singles for "Monuments" and "I'm Gonna Live Anyhow". On 18 February 2012, Tiersen with Lionel Laquerriere, and Thomas Poli, presented his side project, Elektronische Staubband, at La Route du Rock music festival in Saint-Malo. It was about an hour of krautrock, electronic, and experimental music involving a dozen of synthesizers and analog keyboards with the first three pieces of the set list taken from Dust Lane and the remaining five from Skyline.[18] Tiersen was also chosen by Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival on March 2012 in Minehead, England.[19] Skyline was released in North America via ANTI- Records on 17 April 2012, and it was followed by the Skyline Tour with dates in the United States, Canada, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, France, Slovak Republic, Austria, Finland, and the United Kingdom.

As Tiersen's acclaim grew, so did the scope of his records. That year's Black Sessions -- a live album of a radio performance -- featured collaborations with Dominique A. and the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon, as well bands like Les Têtes Raides and the Married Monk, who also appeared on 1999's more rock-oriented album Tout Est Calme.[4]

His next proper album, 2001's Absente, featured collaborations with Lisa Germano, as well as longtime contributors Hannon and Dominique A., and also benefited from Amélie's success, selling 100,000 copies in France. Throughout 2001 and 2002, Tiersen embarked on his most ambitious tours of France and the U.K. to date; this tour was chronicled in 2003's live album C'Était Ici.

Skyline (Yann Tiersen album)[edit]

Songs[edit]

Skyline is the seventh studio album by Yann Tiersen and follows on from its darker sister Dust Lane. If Dust Lane was a transition, then Skyline really marks Tiersen and his band’s arrival in this musical world he is beginning to inhabit so comfortably. Tiersen would argue he’s been there all along, and it’s only now everyone else is catching up. On stage, or tucked away in his Paris basement studio you would be hard pressed to find him behind the wall of vintage synths (his first passion) and electric guitars. The album came together over a year of touring only punctuated with endless hours spent on the tour bus surrounded by his second passion – vinyl. Bands like Neu!, Kraftwerk and Can are particular influences. Tiersen has always loved to collaborate and Skyline is no exception – guest appearances come from Efterklang, Peter Broderick, Syd Matters and Matt Elliot.[20]

Skyline goes further down the path forged by his previous album, Dust Lane, moving toward a post-rock-tinged sound. ... most of Skyline evokes comparisons to other artists. While Tiersen tries on different approaches for size on each of Skyline's songs, his nimble melodic sense and unfailing skill at evoking the right mood at the right time are unmistakable. While Skyline isn't as obviously dark as Dust Lane was, melancholy pervades the entire album.[21]

In his own bio he describes his vision as "a musical anarchy," and that may be apt, but what his latest offering, Skyline, brings to the ear is worlds away from the nose-thumbing of Never Mind the Bollocks.Instead, it's a collection of nine soundscapes. Each track is as much of a composition (in the classical sense) as it is a song. There are lyrics on most, but rather than imparting a narrative, the language serves as another texture on a canvas that bristles with itchy, tactile viscidity. Maybe this is the anarchy: The way Tiersen crafts lush, beautiful music and then radically alters the diatonic system. He interjects atonality, mechanical clatter and dissonant buzz. And he makes you, the listener, like it. Taken in fractions, Skyline could be filed as ambient, as psychedelic, as melodic electronica, as hardline electronica, as drone and as prog. But there's always something else, another thread running through like a beam of light or the filament of a fast-fading dream. Tiersen layers instruments (including synthesizers) with an orchestral ear. There's method and patience at work here, but also a rock band soul that breathes in the kinetic space of each song. And there's a dark poetry in the mix, marrying desolation and hope, spirituality and agnosticism, chanting repeated phrases like prayers into a sparkling abyss. Skyline is not, according to Tiersen a departure from his previous style, influenced and recorded in the same way he has always made music; however this statement does appear to be slightly disingenuous. Whilst his early work tended to prominently feature a lot of pianos, organs and strings, now only the latter remains at the forefront of his music. Instead, more traditional rock instrumentation is given centre stage – admittedly a natural-sounding progression from previous album Dust Lane – with electric and acoustic guitars featuring heavily alongside a deep, swelling whirlpool of synths. The sound remains distinctly European, but whereas once Tiersen’s work was reminiscent of traditional French music, here it is imbued with the rei of the likes of Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream. Particularly impressive about Skyline is the way the album is varied and yet cohesive. There is a definite and deliberate effort to juxtapose louder, more dense songs such as highlight ‘The Gutter’ or opener ‘Another Shore’ with quieter, acoustic guitar-led tracks. Often such contrasts can lead to a sprawling and diverse album, which can be good (Tom Waits’ Rain Dogs, The Stones’ Exile on Main St.) or bad (Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief, Pink Floyd’s The Wall), however here Tiersen avoids such a potential pitfall by uniting the songs with a common underlying atmosphere of dark euphoria. There’s more than a hint of Sigur Rós here, and talk on shoegazy single ‘Monuments’ of “floating in space” echoes Spiritualized’s 1997 masterpiece.[22]

Only once on Skyline does Tiersen take a misstep, when on ‘Exit 25 Block 20’ we hear a guttural bark, yapping away in the background of a shimmering acoustic piece. Whilst you can admire the intent on experimentation and willingness to embrace difficult sounds, the coarseness of the vocals is so at odds with the glittering music, sounding like fireworks doing a ballet over a lake, that they sound like an intrusive counterpoint where none was needed.[22]

The Frenchman’s new album Skyline finds him in a très existential state of mind, and its tracks are beautiful storms for restless times (“Another Shore,” “The Gutter”). Sigur Rós producer Ken Thomas’ mixing works magic with Tiersen’s dense aural layering, making every song like a journey through a forest of emotions.[23]

And while the tone of the lyrics gets darker, the music becomes more cheerful. Who'd have thought it? Like the master painter, Tiersen gets it spot on in this latest offering - a piece de resistance which makes any talk of Audrey Tautou's music-to-be-charming-to redundant. Whether sultry woodwind or jumping, over-plucked guitar, Tiersen's experimentation with timbre is thorough and fruitful.[24]

Skyline is stronger for it, showcasing Tiersen at the current height of his abilities. It’s a very distinct, very engaging piece of art that holds up as it plays out and never tires.[25]


The opening track, "Another Shore", is an instrumental piece. Dave Collingwood provided the drums, and Stéphane Bouvier played the bass clarinet. The bursts of instant-gratification guitars on "Another Shore" could come just as easily from Smashing Pumpkins' "Today" or from Mogwai, while twinkly.[21]

more dense songs such as highlight ‘The Gutter’ or opener ‘Another Shore’ with quieter, acoustic guitar-led tracks.[22]

its tracks are beautiful storms for restless times (“Another Shore,” “The Gutter”).[23]

Another Shore is a window into Tiersen's frighteningly beautiful construction. Bustling bells shuffle under an almost Interpol-esque minimalism to the acoustic guitar, before a stadium-worthy wall of noise rises from the machinery. It develops through a fantastic variations-on-a-theme structure, with each reimagining slightly more epic and upbeat than the last. Bass clarinet slinks around somewhere near the bottom, before a firework of extraterrestrial whistling launches into the next iteration.[24]

The album begins with “Another Shore”, which comes off sounding like the best of Explosions in the Sky, provided they granted themselves a broader instrument palette. Remember those familiar peaks and valleys that were used so effectively on The Earth is Not A Cold Dead Place? Tiersen manages to reach similar heights here. If he would’ve hit the ground running with this style for Skyline, there’s no doubt in my mind Tiersen could create another instrumental masterpiece. Instead, he proves too restless to confine himself to the limitations of one genre, pushing himself into new spaces throughout the course of the album while still remaining distinctly himself, injecting each of the subsequent eight tracks with his familiar identity.[25]


Second track "I'm Gonna Live Anyhow" (second single)

...bittersweet tunes like "I'm Gonna Live Anyhow" and "The Trial" call to mind Múm or Morr Music acts such as Borko.[21]

Where "I'm Gonna Live Anyhow" bounces in a magnetic field of electrical charge.[26]

Tiersen explains new single I'm Gonna Live Anyhow as celebrating the simple pleasures in a life which you haven't chosen to live. Deep merde, indeed. And yes, there is a cheery optimism afloat as vocal harmonies wash over a scratchy undercurrent of chattering synths. Not the obvious single choice, that's for sure.[24]

After Skyline‘s powerful start comes the pairing of “I’m Gonna Live Anyhow” and “Monuments”. The former contains hushed and distorted vocal passages and the near-continuous run of what sounds like a trumpet-emulating synthesizer. Then “Monuments”, once again, brings Explosions in the Sky to mind, only this time focusing in one the softer side of things and featuring very complementary vocals. “Monuments” becomes one of the albums strongest moments by virtue of beings its most unassuming, casting a gentle kind of magic that pulls the listener in and keeps them rapt throughout.[25]


Third track, "Monuments" (first single)

  • Dave Collingwood – drums

The first single, Monuments has Tiersen’s trademark lyrical repetition, which muses our place in the world and the traces of ourselves we leave behind – “all monuments of men, they’re sinking in vain”. Wrapped in a chorus of vocals and shimming guitars the message isn’t so dark, it’s full of hope.[20]

the static buzz of "Monuments" is smoother, more of a comfort. Here, warm layers of sound build, organic at the foundation and rising to electrical and mechanical notes over which Tiersen's voice warbles through heavy effects. Here, also, we're given a clue: "Tiny moments of mine, they're floating in space," is the lyric. Indeed, Skyline reads as a series of tiny moments - not major life events but instead the beautiful, insignificant ephemera that falls away in the wake of life's progress.[26]

There’s more than a hint of Sigur Rós here, and talk on shoegazy single ‘Monuments’ of “floating in space” echoes Spiritualized’s 1997 masterpiece.[22]

A more predictable one was Monuments, with a more obvious vocal structure to it. Oh, and this video by Ivan Rusev. Each sound is added one at a time, building the tower bit by bit. It's a nice touch to stratify the hectic melee of musical layers before weaving them all together. When they're all up and running, it's difficult to tell just how complex the fabric is, such is the skill of the composition.[24]

Fourth "The Gutter" (Che Guevara's speech, ONU General Assembly, New York 11 December 1964)

still elsewhere, the lush romanticism of "The Gutter"'s dream pop recalls Saturdays=Youth-era M83.[21]

Where "The Gutter" returns to mellow basking in planetarium-like twinkling, the shimmer of cymbals and Tiersen's own softly-sung falsetto (really, what could this song have to do with a gutter? Except that the repeated line, "try to reach the sea" calls to mind the epic journeys of so many flushed goldfish).[26]

more dense songs such as highlight ‘The Gutter’ or opener ‘Another Shore’ with quieter, acoustic guitar-led tracks.[22]

its tracks are beautiful storms for restless times (“Another Shore,” “The Gutter”).[23]

When Tiersen dives into someone else's patch, he gives them a run for their money. The Gutter was produced by Ken Thomas, who worked with Sigur Rós on their () album, and there's something highly reminiscent of Jonsi himself in the beautiful earnestness with which Tiersen warbles about trying to "reach the sea," soaring over racing cymbal crashes.[24]

“The Gutter” restores some of the magic present in “Another Shore”, Skyline‘s huge opening track, while not succumbing to that tracks bombast—instead subtly expanding on a driving bassline until it becomes its own kind of indirect crescendo. It’s a gripping moment which proves how effective Tiersen can be expanding on minimalist themes. When he plays it relatively straight, he’s at his most captivating, which “The Gutter” helps make more apparent than usual.[25]


Fifth track "Exit 25 Block 20"

the odd mix of screaming, toy piano, and glockenspiel on "Exit 25 Block 20" seems like something Fuck Buttons would attempt.[21]

"Exit 25 Block 20," follows directly with a series of barks, yips and guttural howls. Here, half-man and half-wolf, given to too much moonlight, the composer loosens his primal scream in the sonic domain of radio signals, Theremin whines and (nearly buried in the fracas) a crescendoing melody line.[26]

Only once on Skyline does Tiersen take a misstep, when on ‘Exit 25 Block 20’ we hear a guttural bark, yapping away in the background of a shimmering acoustic piece. Whilst you can admire the intent on experimentation and willingness to embrace difficult sounds, the coarseness of the vocals is so at odds with the glittering music, sounding like fireworks doing a ballet over a lake, that they sound like an intrusive counterpoint where none was needed.[22]

At times it threatens to get a little too much for one sitting. Exit 25 Block 20's twee melody over disconcerting barking sounds is pushing the limits of how bizarre the listener might be prepared to go, but the arrival of the bass and a more structured keyboard harmony lifts the tone drastically.[24]

Punctuating that fact is the decision to follow “The Gutter” with “Exit 25 Block 20”, Skyline‘s most experimental track, and one of its shortest. There are no instruments featured until its halfway point, but even then, he struggles to reach the heights of a song like “Another Shore”, rendering it a slight misstep that temporarily derails the album’s momentum.[25]


Sixth track "Hesitation Wound"

... welling to the surface on "Hesitation Wound," where Tiersen's frail voice drifts farther and farther away from the listener and into a galaxy of strafing synths.[21]

There is philosophy in the composition. The metaphor of 'Hesitation Wound' - the pain of a something more sudden strung out during an extended period of uncertainty - is itself worthy of some kind of prize.[24]

After the pleasant ambient washes that are prominent in “Hesitation Wound”, again complemented by airy dream-like vocals that float over the instruments and play on Tiersen’s aesthetic remarkably well.[25]


Seventh track "Forgive Me"

  • Dave Collingwood – drums

the galloping rhythms and swift melody of "Forgive Me" are most like the works that won Tiersen a legion of film buff fans.[21]

Yet even the most easily-disturbed listener couldn't stay that way for long. Forgive Me offers a 6-minute-long romp of a pick-me-up, with a busy little line in percussion.[24]

Skyline ends with a trio of tracks leaving no doubt to his skills as a composer. “Forgive Me”, “The Trial”, and “Vanishing Point” all play up both Tiersen’s strengths in an exhilarating fashion that really makes Skyline feel like a complete work.[25]


Eighth track "The Trial"

...bittersweet tunes like "I'm Gonna Live Anyhow" and "The Trial" call to mind Múm or Morr Music acts such as Borko.[21]

Somewhere around the halfway mark of "The Trail," a flute utters a few low notes into the wash of harmony and discord. It's a small gesture, but no sound in Tiersen's work is inconsequential. From that sweetly sentimental instance, the music changes, its disparate parts finding equanimity and gravity around the chorus of "Someday my girl, in your mirror." What that means is hard to say, but it has weight. On Skyline, Tiersen plays with words as much as with sounds, finding combinations that allude to more than their apparent sums. Words with purpose and intent, if not obvious context. This is the musician who, on Dust Lane, turned the words "fuck me" into an existential reverie - maybe that's the anarchy. The apostasy. The complete abandonment, where by shedding everything Tiersen embraces everything.[26]

The Trial brings a quiet optimism on the xylophone, massaged with a cautious swell of strings. All this before breaking out into a purposeful slapped guitar and a stark juxtaposition of lyrical pessimism ("someday my girl, in your mirror / darling, you will face the trial") over musical assuredness.[24]

Skyline ends with a trio of tracks leaving no doubt to his skills as a composer. “Forgive Me”, “The Trial”, and “Vanishing Point” all play up both Tiersen’s strengths in an exhilarating fashion that really makes Skyline feel like a complete work.[25]


Last track "Vanishing Point"

The album wraps with "Vanishing Point," mostly warm, mostly soft, ebbing and flowing through space. Here, electronics hum and a man-beast barks, but there's a lightness and groove to the track. When it slows to a needle-dragging finish, the silence is all too jarring and all too soon.[26]

Skyline ends with a trio of tracks leaving no doubt to his skills as a composer. “Forgive Me”, “The Trial”, and “Vanishing Point” all play up both Tiersen’s strengths in an exhilarating fashion that really makes Skyline feel like a complete work.[25]

The Law of Accelerating Returns by Ray Kurzweil[edit]

An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is exponential, contrary to the common-sense "intuitive linear" view. So we won't experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century -- it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today's rate). The "returns," such as chip speed and cost-effectiveness, also increase exponentially. There's even exponential growth in the rate of exponential growth. Within a few decades, machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence, leading to The Singularity -- technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history. The implications include the merger of biological and nonbiological intelligence, immortal software-based humans, and ultra-high levels of intelligence that expand outward in the universe at the speed of light.

You will get $40 trillion just by reading this essay and understanding what it says. For complete details, see below. (It's true that authors will do just about anything to keep your attention, but I'm serious about this statement. Until I return to a further explanation, however, do read the first sentence of this paragraph carefully.)

Now back to the future: it's widely misunderstood. Our forebears expected the future to be pretty much like their present, which had been pretty much like their past. Although exponential trends did exist a thousand years ago, they were at that very early stage where an exponential trend is so flat that it looks like no trend at all. So their lack of expectations was largely fulfilled. Today, in accordance with the common wisdom, everyone expects continuous technological progress and the social repercussions that follow. But the future will be far more surprising than most observers realize: few have truly internalized the implications of the fact that the rate of change itself is accelerating.[27]

Che[edit]

«Ten years ago, following the 30th anniversary of Che’s death, a number of revisionist biographies began appearing on the bookshop shelves — appalling tomes like Jorge Castaneda’s Compañero: The Life and Death of Che Guevara. A barrage of misinformation about his life has been kept up on the internet and in the bosses’ media ever since. His role as finance minister in the early years of the revolution, his command of the Cabana Fortress in Havana (where the powerbrokers, assassins and torturers of the brutal Batista era were held), his efforts to add the Congo to the list of "Vietnams" breaking the grip of imperialism, have all come under a sustained attack of misinformation.»[28]

Che Guevara about himself[edit]

Che Guevara about asthma[edit]

In April 1957, also during an asthma attack, Che clashed with soldiers under the command of Sanchez Mosquera. Running out of ammunition, he barely made his way to shelter.

“Asthma at first took pity and allowed me to run a few metres, then it took its revenge: my heart thumped as if it were ready to leap out of my chest. Suddenly I heard the crunch of branches but by now I couldn't even force myself to run. But this time it was one of our new men, who had lost his way. Seeing me he said: 'Don't be afraid, commander, I'll die by your side!' The trouble was, I didn't want to die at all, I'd rather send him to the devil instead. I think that's what I did in fact. That day it seemed to me that I was a coward.”[29]

TV interview[edit]

On April 29, 1959 Che appeared on television, whose circuits were controlled by private firms hostile to the revolution. The moderator began to ask Che provocative questions:

Q: "Are you a Communist?"

A: "If you consider that the things that we are doing in the people's interest represent manifestations of communism, then call us communists. If you are asking whether I am a member of the Partido Socialista Popular, the answer is no."

Q: "Why did you come to Cuba?"

A: "I wanted to take part in the liberation of even a small piece of enslaved Latin America."

Q: "Do you advocate maintaining relations with Soviet Russia?"

A: "I support the establishment of diplomatic and trade relations with all countries in the world barring exception. I see no reason to exclude a country that respects us and hopes for the victory of our ideals."[29][30]

Near the close of the interview Che casually reported to the viewer that the moderator had been a paid agent of Batista.[30]

About payment[edit]

When Professor Elias Entralgo from the University of Havana once invited Che to speak to his students and added that a payment of a specific sum would accompany the address, Che answered him in a polite but extremely curt letter:

“You and I have radical differences concerning the proper behaviour of a revolutionary leader.... I find it inadmissible that a Party or government figure be offered a monetary remuneration for any kind of work. As far as I personally am concerned, the most treasured of all payments which I have received is the right to belong to the Cuban people, a right which has no equivalent in pesos or centavos.”[29]

Return of the Rebel[edit]

For the marketers of Che Guevara merchandise, the timing couldn't have been better: the discovery of the revolutionary icon's grave on the eve of the 30th anniversary of his death. Suddenly, Che is more chic than ever. by Brook Larmer

It took nearly 30 years for the bugged Bolivian mountains to give up the last secret of legendary guerrilla leader Ernesto (Che) Guevara. Late last month, on the edge of a dirt airstrip in the remote town of Vallegrande, a team of Cuban and Argentine scientists knelt in a deep pit before seven dusty skeletons. They were virtually certain that among the bones were the missing remains of Guevara, who had been executed by his Bolivian Army captors on Oct. 9,1967. The forensic scientists homed in on "Skeleton No. 2," which was lying face down, its skull shrouded by an olive army jacket much like the one Che wore in photographs taken after his capture. There was another, more grisly clue: the skeleton was missing both hands. Che's hands had been sawed off and preserved in formaldehyde as proof to disbelievers that the dashing revolutionary had truly been killed.

Seconds before lifting the green jacket to expose the skull, a Cuban geophysicist lowered his head in a gesture of respect. The crowd of journalists and local townspeople that had gathered to watch fell silent. Then, as the jacket was removed, several Cuban scientists broke down in sobs; two hugged each other tightly. "Everyone was overcome with emotion, not just the Cubans," says Patricia Bernardi, one of three Argentine forensic anthropologists on the excavation team. "Che was such a mythic figure, and there were a hundred different versions about what happened to his body. Now, after 30 years, the mystery is solved, the last chapter has been written."

It is, in fact, merely the latest saga of a legend that just won't die. The long-awaited discovery of Guevara's bones comes, ironically, just as the revolutionary icon is being resurrected — commercially, if not politically—all over the world. Che is suddenly chic. The anniversary of his death is generating a frenzied rush of new books, documentaries and feature films about the asthmatic Argentine who, by force of will, transformed himself into Fidel Castro's fearless compaсero. (Even Mick Jagger has a film in the works.) Like other glamorous stars who died young—think James Dean — Che has long been a symbol of rebellion and idealism, forever stuck in time. But in today's ever-adaptable consumer culture, the old revolutionary has also emerged as a hip advertising pitchman. Now Che's image is being used to sell everything from rock music and designer clothes to Swatch watches and Fischer skis. One recent episode of "The Simpsons" even featured a nightclub called "Chez Guevara." Che vive, indeed.

The Cuban government played a pivotal role in creating the Che mystique, and it is not about to let its franchise slip away. Guevara's remains were flown back to Cuba on Saturday night, where his family and Castro received them in a private military ceremony. They will remain in Havana until October, when—on the anniversary of his death—they will be moved to Santa Clara, where a mausoleum is being built in the shadow of a 23-ton statue of the defiant Che gripping his rifle. Che's return invigorates the state's yearlong commemoration. But it may cause uneasiness, too. For the Cuban government, while promoting Guevara as a moral saint, is scrambling to stay afloat by abandoning many of the socialist principles he held sacred. The unsettling ironies can be found in places like Havana's Palacio de Artesanias, a colonial mansion cum mall that sells everything from Coca-Cola to Adidas shoes to Che memorabilia—for U.S. dollars only. One popular item is a Che T-shirt with the slogan: IT IS BETTER TO DIE STANDING THAN TO LIVE ON YOUR KNEES.

The shirts cost $13.95, far more than the average monthly Cuban wage, but tourists are snapping them up.

What explains the Che mania? It can't be based wholly on his record. Here is a guy, for all his virtues, who failed in all but one of his revolutionary adventures. He directly participated in dozens of executions after the 1959 rebel triumph in Cuba and, in the 1962 missile crisis, was a radical voice pushing for a nuclear confrontation. Guevara's allure seems to stem, rather, from a nostalgic longing for the pure, uncompromising ideals of the past. "In a world of ferocious competition and consumerism, some element of humanity is still looking for a hero with values," says Orlando Borrego, one of Che's closest confidants during the early years of the revolution. "In Che, they have a paradigm: a man who was absolutely honest, completely selfless, constantly perfecting his personality." Che had other things going for him, too: he was a rebel, he died young (at 39) and he looked damn good in a beret.

Part of Guevara's appeal is that his revolutionary ideals no longer pose much of a threat in the post-cold-war world. Thirty years have tamed the anti-imperialist tiger and turned him into a rebel without claws. These days the Cuban government buys up a huge inventory of Swatch "Revolucion" watches with Che's image, not to confiscate them, but to sell them back to tourists. In cyberspace there are hundreds of Che Web pages in every language from Italian to Norwegian; Internet surfers can find "Che quotes for motivation" or see that rum-flavored Che coffee is selling briskly at the Lenin Shop in Helsinki. Last year an English company tried to add some virility to its "beer cooler" by marketing it with Che's image. Its slogan: banned in the usa. it must be good. The beer was banned soon after it went on sale—not by the United States but by Cuba, which had received complaints from Guevara's widow, Aleida.

Che's appeal is no longer limited to aging justifyists. He's got Gen X cool, too. The rock-rap group Rage Against the Machine uses his image every chance it gets, while the Allstonians, a Jamaican-style "ska" band, released an album this month with a piece called "Doctor Che Guevara." But Che sells more skis than ska. Over the past two years, the sales of Fischer "Revolution" skis have quadrupled, in part because the vans that promote the product at ski slopes across the country are plastered with Che's visage. Until recently, Che's face was pretty much limited to T-shirts and dorm-room walls. But Label, a New York boutique that caters to urban youth, now has a postgrunge fashion line featuring dresses and shirts with Che military motifs— and they are selling fast. "At the end of the 1990s, people are feeling empty and they are yearning for a return to idealism," explains Laura Whit-comb, 29, the clothes' designer. "Che conjures up that whole spirit." Even in Argentina, where Che had been shunned as a prodigal son, a university lecture series is drawing standing-room-only crowds.

The rebel's other incarnations these days are so gentle they could be called Che Lite. Take "The Motorcycle Diaries" (Verso), Guevara's journal of his 1952 road trip through South America on a wheezing Norton 500. The Jack Kerouac -- like adventure opened young Emesto's eyes to poverty and imperialism, and marked the beginning of his voyage from middle-class Argentina to the armed struggle in Cuba. The Cuban government didn't allow its publication until 1995, reportedly because Guevara displayed "bourgeois concerns" and had a penchant for seducing women and mooching meals. But the book has been a surprise hit, selling more than 30,000 in both the United States and England—and 80,000 in Italy. Even more is expected from "Tania," an upcoming Warner Brothers film about the apocryphal romance between Guevara and East German agent Tamara (Tania) Bunke, who also died in the star-crossed Bolivia campaign. Director Michael ("Il Postino") Radford and executive producer Mick Jagger have been reportedly trying to lure Antonio Banderas into playing the role of Che, as he did in the film "Evita."

Che's resurrection as a cuddly pop-culture icon hasn't pleased everybody. Cuban exiles see the Argentine guerrilla as a murderous interloper responsible for the destruction of their homeland. When Jon Lee Anderson read selections from his stunning new biography "Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life" in a Miami bookstore recently, there were no Che T-shirts in the audience. Anderson's portrayal reveals all facets of Che's character, from the romantic idealist who inspired millions to follow his example of self-sacrifice to the coldhearted enforcer who sent 55 people to their deaths during his time as "supreme prosecutor." "Cuba's revolutionary avenging angel," Anderson writes, "was respected and admired, despised and feared, but nobody was indifferent to him." As if to prove his point, one Cuban exile stands up and shouts: "How can you justify making money by putting this man's face on the cover of your book?"

Guevara himself might be bemused to see his rising popularity, 30 years after his death. But not surprised: after all, he self-consciously created the legend, transforming the young Ernesto Guevara into the implacable "Che." (In doing so, he turned the Argentine expression "che," meaning buddy, into a universal nickname.) The process began after his trip around South America and accelerated when he joined Fidel Castro and his band of rebels in Mexico in 1955, as they prepared to go to war against Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. By the time they marched triumphantly into Havana in January 1959, Che had forged himself into the "New Socialist Man": fearless, disciplined and willing to die for the cause. "We are not men, but working machines," he said. Still, his charm, intellect and honesty were seductive to mere mortals; even the Soviet agent assigned to spy on Che couldn't help falling in love with him, as did millions of European justifyists. "Che is more than a mythical figure for cultural consumption," says Niki Vendola, the first leader of the Gay Communists in Italy. "He still inspires us with the great passion he put into his revolutionary quest for the perfect man."

Che's final days in Bolivia were the culmination of a quixotic, almost suicidal journey. He had tried to be an exemplary minister and national-bank president in Havana, building society around the New Man. But he worried about Castro's tightening embrace with the Soviet Union. And he had always felt more alive, more Che, when he was fomenting revolution. Che's first two attempts, in Argentina and the Congo, were disasters. Bolivia would be no better: the conditions did not exist for a revolution, much less one that would spawn, as he had hoped, a dozen Vietnams in Latin America. But Che's capture and execution, even amid such blindness, only enhanced his legend. "He died well," muses Alberto Granado, his old Argentine pal who rode with him around South America — and then moved to Havana. "It wasn't a useless death."

Martyrdom turned Che into an instant global icon, a symbol of a generation. The following year, 1968, students from Mexico City to Paris to Prague all marched under his banner. In Cuba, however, after a year of solemn observance, there was a strange silence surrounding Che that lasted for 15 years. It was only in the mid-1980s that Castro revived Che's uncompromising image as a defense against Soviet glasnost and perestroika. The Soviet Union disintegrated before the effort got very far, and the combination of that collapse and the U.S. embargo has forced Castro to dollarize the economy and allow some foreign investment. Yet as Anderson notes, Che remained standing "as the spiritual validation of what little remains of 'revolutionary' Cuba." The Argentine is not only the face of the Cuban revolution, more visible than Fidel. He has been reincarnated as a secular saint, remembered by Cuban school kids every morning when they repeat in unison: "Pioneros comunistas, seremos como el Che." Communist pioneers, we will be like Che.

In Cuba, as in the commercial world, the new Che is softer, gender, Christlike. "He is a redeemer figure," says art historian David Kunzle, the curator of an upcoming exhibition of 150 Che posters at the University of California, Los Angeles. "In Havana, you no longer see images of Che with a gun." Indeed, the Cuban government so carefully guards the official Che myth that it is taboo to talk about the executions, the rifts with Castro or the folly of the Bolivian campaign. "The Cubans don't allow even a hint of criticism," says Argentine screenwriter Jose Pablo Feinmann. "Che is sacrosanct." Feinmann should know: he was recently sacked from an ongoing Argentine film about Che's life, in part because Cuban consultants didn't like the fact that he included executions in his script.

It's hard to reconcile Che's legacy with Cuban reality. "Che is well loved here," says Carlos, a 29-year-old Havana mechanic who avidly reads the excerpts from Che's "Diary of War" printed in the official newspaper, Granma, everyweek. "But it's impossible to be like him, especially these days." Carlos owes his health and university education to the socialist system, but his salary is barely over $10 a month. The only way his family survives is by renting out its old Lada to tourists for $25 a day, driver included. With salaries so low, he says, nearly everybody has become "metalized"— Cuban slang for the scramble after hard cash. "I look at Che now as a romantic," he says. "Life has taught me to be more practical."

At the market in old Havana's Cathedral Square, Che's image is everywhere: on coins, mugs, ashtrays, shirts, posters, beaded wall hangings and ghastly red oil paintings. And everywhere it is the same image: a glamorous, youthful Che staring out from under his black beret with a look of unbending determination and idealism. This mystical image, known the world over, came from a single photograph taken at a public funeral in March 1960. The photographer, Alberto (Korda) Diaz, never got the original copyright. Days after Guevara's death in the Bolivian mountains, printers used the photograph to make posters—and millions were reproduced before Korda could cash in.

Cuban revolutionaries, including Che, used to scoff at international copyright laws as prejudiced against poor nations. But now Cuba is opening up to the global marketplace, and Che's image is being promoted—and protected. Che's widow, Aleida, has opened up a research center in their old Havana home, La Casa del Che, while their daughter, Aliusha, has emerged as the most vocal defender of his legacy. Meanwhile, Korda, now 65, is starting to capitalize on his famous photograph. He has won a few lawsuits, and now he is busy setting up exhibitions in France, Italy, Mexico and Argentina. How much does he charge for a print of the photograph? "That would be $300," he says, "and another $300 if you want an interview." Expensive, yes. But these are the days when even an old socialist legend can be a hot commodity.

With ROD NORDLAND in Home and JOSHUA HAMMER in Vallegrande[31]

The Local Deity: Bones or not, Vallegrande's a must stop on the "Che Route" by Joshua Hammer[edit]

Nestali Ocinaga will never forget the afternoon the soldiers brought in the bullet-riddled corpse of Che Guevara. Ocinaga, then 19, was trimming rosebushes in the garden of Vallegrande's hospital when the excited troops carried the guerrilla on a stretcher to a laundry shed behind the main building. They laid the body out for display on a concrete washstand. "His eyes were wide open," Ocinaga recalls. "And his wounds were covered in blood." Ocinaga knew little about the rebel leader or his quixotic attempt to foment Marxist revolution in the mountain hamlets of Bolivia, but he sensed that the military government still feared the power of Che. "That night he was taken away by the soldiers," recalls Ocinaga, standing inside the decrepit laundry shed, now a graffiti-covered shrine. "Everything was done in secret."

Last month the truth finally came to light. Watching forensic anthropologists brush away dirt from seven skeletons embedded in the packed earth near Vallegrande's airstrip, Ocinaga felt a chill of recognition: wrapped around the remains labeled "Skeleton No. 2" was the black leather belt the guerrilla leader wore that day in October 1967. "I knew at that moment that it was Che," he says. For Ocinaga and many of his neighbors, the discovery of the guerrilla's remains after an intensive two-year search was a cause for celebration. During the past 30 years, Che Guevara has become an object of mystical reverence in this remote mountain village of 5,000 people, and the multiple stories surrounding his final resting place have only heightened his allure. "He is a great man—a god," Ocinaga says.

Che wasn't always so lionized. During his ill-conceived guerrilla campaign between March and October 1967, locals denied food to his ragged band, fled from them in terror and often reported their movements to the army. But the cult of Che began to grow from the day his corpse was flown by helicopter from La Higuera, where he was captured and executed, to Vallegrande, site of a military base. Many villagers said the half-clothed, bloodied corpse resembled the crucified Jesus; he was soon worshiped as "Santo Ernesto," the patron saint of Vallegrande. Discouraged by a series of right-wing regimes from public veneration, residents secretly held masses and lit candles in Che's memory; young people gathered to read his prolific writings and pore over details of his Bolivian adventure.

Vallegrande's fascination with Che intensified two years ago, when the search began for his remains. In November 1995, Che's American

biographer, John Lee Andersen, was told by a retired Bolivian general that Che and six comrades were buried in a mass grave near Vallegrande's dirt airstrip. A bulldozer operator who had participated in the burial confirmed the general's tale. The Bolivian government, facing pressure from the dead guerrilla's family members, ordered an investigation. An initial search of the area by Argentine and Cuban forensics experts and Bolivian soldiers uncovered the skeletons of four rebels — but no Che.

Late last year the Cubans resumed their search. A team interviewed 100 villagers and soldiers who had served in Vallegrande's battalion in 1967. They also conducted geothermal and geomagnetic studies and topographical surveys of a 10,000-square-meter area to test for disturbances in the earth caused by a bulldozer. After a two-month delay in the spring—Vallegrande officials ordered the work stopped to protest the town's likely loss of Che's remains— the team returned to work and unearthed the skeletons on June 28.

Last week the reassembled, washed skeletons lay in metal trays on gurneys in the brightly lit morgue at a Japanese run hospital in Santa Cruz, a regional capital 250 kilometers northeast of Vallegrande. Moldy camouflage jackets, belts, shoes and sandals were piled neatly at the foot of each gurney. One forensics expert hunched over a computer screen, superimposing premortem photos of the guerrillas on images of their skulls. Others X-rayed the bones for bullet fragments and compared the results to detailed 1967 autopsy reports prepared by the Bolivian Army. Skeleton No. 2 was missing its hands, a vital clue:

Che's had been amputated before his burial. It was also the only one of the seven whose skull had not been shattered by a bullet — consistent with the way Che died. Teeth were checked against dental records; on July 10 the team determined that No. 2's and those of Guevara were a perfect match. Final preparations got underway to repatriate the bones to Cuba.

In Vallegrande, meanwhile, euphoria over the discovery has given way to more complex emotions. Many locals believe the international publicity will give a huge boost to their growing tourist industry;

Bolivian travel agencies have begun offering tours of the "Che Route," including stops at the gravesite and laundry shed. Other locals are glad that their patron saint can now be properly laid to rest. Still, many admit to feeling a profound sense of loss—and indignation over the highhanded way the Bolivian government snatched away the bones from the village. On July 5 officials ordered the remains boxed and secretly driven to Santa Cruz after midnight, reportedly concerned that some Vallegrande zealots would try to block their removal. "They spirited them away under cover of darkness, just like they did 30 years ago," says Gerardo Carrasco, a member of the town civic committee. Still, for members of the Che church, Vallegrande will always be sacred ground.[32]

Compañero: The Life and Death of Che Guevara by Jorge G. Castaneda[edit]

Che's last mission, a push in 1966 to create a guerrilla movement that would spread throughout Latin America, was doomed from the start. Che's team traveled through southeastern Bolivia, trying to organize the country's communists and peasants. But they were ill-equipped and received virtually no support from Bolivians. Alarmed at having the foreign revolutionary in the country, the Bolivian government was determined to capture him. Still, Che and his forces pushed on, ravaged by casualties, illness and depression. But Bolivia's army slowly closed in on them; in late September troops trapped Che's bedraggled group near the village of La Higuera, between the Rio Grande and the town of Vallegrande.

An excerpt from "Compañero: The Life and Death of Che Guevara" by Jorge G. Castaneda:

On the night of October 7 the 17 men broke out along the bottom of the Yuro or Churo gorge. A potato farmer across the stream distinguished a band of bearded, emaciated ghosts carrying guns and rucksacks. He had no doubt; it had to be the guerrillas. He dispatched his son to the military command post of Captain Gary Prado Salmon, just a few miles away. This soldier's soldier immediately set up a textbook ambush, with men stationed at the entrance and exit of the ravine, and his command post on the high ground. Che's last battle was about to begin.

Guevara had also issued his combat instructions, though he was not absolutely certain that the army had discovered the presence of his group. He split up his platoon into several small squads, each ordered to explore the narrow creeks ahead of them, to determine if there was a way out of the ravine. As the sun rose, [guerrillas] Benigno and Pacho realized that there were already dozens of soldiers on the high ground above them. Che had two choices: withdrow toward the back of the ravine and hope the soldiers had not bottled it up, or remain quiet until nightfall, trusting that the army would not detect his detachment. He chose the latter option and placed his men in a defensive perimeter, in case the troops did discover them. Around 1:30 on October 8, the vanguard position, at the mouth of the ravine, was hit by army fire; the different rebel positions were isolated from each other. Soon, two jets and a helicopter overflew the area, but did not bomb or strafe the hills. Che's squad, made up of seven guerrillas, attempted to withdraw into the ravine; it would not be able to sustain he army's fire for long. Minutes later, Guevara's M-I carbine was shot out of his hands and rendered useless; soon he was hit in the calf, a flesh wound that nonetheless made it difficult for him to walk. Willi, or Simуn Cuba, dragged him along a small ridge, his machine gun in one hand, the other propping up his commandante as best he could. Three soldiers from Prado's platoon saw them approaching, waited for them to climb a tiny cliff, and when they showed themselves, shouted out: "Drop your weapons and raise your hands." Che could not shoot back; his pistol had no clip and his carbine was disabled. Willi held his fire, either because he could not shoot with one hand or because prudence indicated that as the wisest course. According to some accounts, Che then spoke up: "Don't shoot, I am Che Guevara and I am worth more to you alive than dead"; other versions, tainted by Bolivian military spin, attribute a different statement to the defeated Argentine: "I am Che Guevara and I have failed." Another, more plausible story is that it was Willi who threw down his rifle and raised his voice when the two soldiers, nervous and exhausted, took aim and seemed indecisive about what to do: "S—, this is Commander Guevara and he deserves respect."

Captain Gary Prado was immediately advised of Che's capture and scrambled down the ravine as the shooting continued below. He made two or three quick checks of Guevara's identity, requisitioned his knapsack, and excitedly radioed Eighth Division headquarters: Che had been taken. A long procession formed, as Prado marched him off to La Higuera, two kilometers away. Behind them followed the other prisoners, mules carrying the bodies of the fallen rebels, the wounded soldiers, and soon, hundreds of onlookers. Guevara was thrown into a mud-floored room in the local schoolhouse; Willi was locked up next door.

Through the night the troops celebrated their success, while the Bolivia High Command in La Paz deliberated about what to do with its legendary captive. Che was in minor pain, and obviously depressed, but from available accounts, did not seem ready to die, though he must have contemplated this prospect. If he did exclaim, "I am worth more to you alive than dead," he probably thought so. He may have concluded that the Bolivian government would prefer to try him and brandish his capture as a symbol of victory against foreign aggression, rather than execute him. But things did not turn out that way.

At night and in the early dawn, Gary Prado and army officer Andres Selich attempted fruitlessly to interrogate Guevara. Next morning, around 6:30, a helicopter flew in from Vallegrande with three passengers: Major Niсo de Guzmбn, the pilot; Colonel Joaquin Zenteno, the head of the Eighth Division; and Felix Rodriguez, the ClA's Cuban-American radio man, sent along both out of deference for U.S. support—as Rodrнguez explains it—and to ensure proper identification of Che. Rodrнguez also was instructed to question Che and photograph his notebooks and the other seized documents.

The army had a monumental problem on its hands. There was no death penalty in Bolivia, and virtually no high-security prison where Guevara could serve a long sentence, The very thought of a trial sent shudders down the spines of President Barrientos, Armed Forces Commander General Ovando and the Armed Forces Chief of Staff, Juan Jose Torres. If the country and the government had been subjected to unending international pressure and condemnation for judging Regis Debray — a French writer and Cuban envoy captured by the Bolivians after he justify Guevara's camp—what kind of outcry and campaign would erupt in favor of Che Guevara, the famous and heroic guerrilla commander? Che in jail, anywhere in Bolivia, would represent an enormous temptation for commandos from Cuba either to seek to free him or to force an exchange for hostages taken elsewhere. Handing Che over to the Americans, and having them fly him out to Panama for debriefing, was equally unacceptable. The nationalist tradition of the military would not allow it; moreover, the government would thereby confirm everything the Cubans and others had been claiming: the counterinsurgency effort was nothing more than a disguised form of Yankee interventionism. Every available testimony and account suggests that deliberately and unanimously, the Bolivian authorities decided that Che Guevara should be put to death as soon as possible.

The order went out from La Paz at midmorning; it was received in La Higuera, where Zenteno commissioned a squad of soldiers to carry it out. After a picture-taking session, the soldiers drew lots, and it fell to Lieutenant Mario Teran to finish off the disheveled, limp, depressed, but still defiant man lying on the floor of the school at La Higuera. After several false starts, a few hard swigs of scotch, and Che's invocation to carry on, Teran fired half a dozen shots into Guevara's torso; one of them pierced his heart and killed him instantly. His last words, according to Colonel Arnaldo Saucedo Parada, head of intelligence of the Eighth Division and the man responsible for delivering the official report on Che's final moments, were: "I knew you were going to shoot me; I should never have been taken alive. Tell Fidel that this failure does not mean the end of the revolution, that it will triumph elsewhere. Tell Aleida [Che's wife] to forget this, remarry and be happy, and keep the children studying. Ask the soldiers to aim well." His body was lashed onto the landing skids of Zenteno's helicopter and flown off to Vallegrande; there, after being washed and cleaned, it was put on display in the laundry room of the hospital of Our Lady of Malta, where this story began.

European Union Charter reintroduces the death penalty in Europe[edit]

“Professor Schachtschneider pointed out that it (the EU Lisbon Treaty) also reintroduces the death penalty in Europe, which I think is very important, in light of the fact that, especially Italy was trying to abandon the death penalty through the United Nations, forever. And this is not in the treaty, but in a footnote, because with the European Union reform treaty, we accept also the European Union Charter, which says that there is no death penalty, and then it has a footnote, which says, "except in the case of war, riots, upheaval"—then the death penalty is possible. Schachtschneider points to the fact that this is an outrage, because they put it in a footnote of a footnote, and you have to read it, like really like a super-expert to find out!” – Zepp-LaRouche, Helga (2008-03-07).

Inventions and Designs

- many of which have been patented and have had wide commercial acceptance. Fresco created many inventions such as systems for noiseless and pollution free aircraft, a new aircraft wing structural system patented by the US Air Force, an electrostatic system for the elimination of sonic boom Boundary layer control and electrodynamic methods for aircraft control that dispenses with ailerons, elevators, rudders, and flaps, a three-wheel automobile consisting of only 32 parts.

He developed equipment ranging from 3-dimensional x-ray units to electronic surgical instruments for the medical field, a technique for viewing 3-dimensional motion pictures without the use of glasses, and numerous components and systems for architectural construction. He designed and built a wide variety of reinforced concrete structures such as The Aluminum Trend House, a prefabricated house designed and developed for Mike Shore and Earl Muntz, in 1945, and another prefabricated aluminum house for Major Realty Corporation in collaboration with Aluminum Company of America.

At Princeton University, Mr. Fresco addressed the Department of Sociology. His subject was Sociology of the Future. Along with the well- known scientist Margaret Mead, Mr. Fresco was extended an invitation to address the college environment conference in Washington, DC. He was a guest speaker for the Tenth Symposium for the Civil Engineering Department of TEC de Monterrey University in Monterrey, Mexico, Latin America’s top rated college. Mr. Fresco was a guest speaker at The Utopian Studies Conference in Orlando, FL and lectured at several World Future Society Conferences. We have all heard lectures that downgrade the present state of affairs. They speak of such social problems as lawlessness, poverty, racial tension and divorce. But how many of us can recall any of these lectures offering creative solutions to these problems? Mr. Fresco’s presentations reflect a serious attempt to illuminate the causes and outline a wide range of constructive alternatives. He does this by presenting a redesign of our culture, one that would emphasize the intelligent use of science and technology to enhance the lives of all people while protecting our environment. His subjects range from “New Dimensions in Human Stupidity” to “Imagineering The Future.” A video often accompanies the lectures where his ideas are vividly brought to life through animated models, illustrations and computer animation. His particular lecture technique enables uninformed audiences to grasp the significance of complex social and technical innovations He speaks dramatically and brilliantly about the urgent transitional problems facing our contemporary society. His audiences find their attention focused intensely and they closely follow his presentation from beginning to end. Mr. Fresco’s lectures have been consistently praised and enthusiastically received. Jacque Fresco is the founder of Sociocyberneering, Inc., now known as The Venus Project and the non-profit organization Future by Design. With his associate Roxanne Meadows, he has designed and built the entire twenty-five acre research facility. The function of this project is to prepare approaches and solutions to the major problems that confront the world today. Television and magazine coverage on the project has been worldwide.

Birth heralded by The star Sirius, the morning star. An unidentified "star in the East."
Birth date Ancient Egyptians paraded a manger and child representing Horus through the streets at the time of the winter solstice (about DEC-21). In reality, he had no birth date; he was not a human. Born during the fall. However, his birth date is now celebrated on DEC-25. The date was chosen to occur on the same date as the birth of Mithra, Dionysus and the Sol Invictus (unconquerable Sun), etc.
Birth announcement By angels.[35]
Birth witnesses Shepherds.[35]
Later witnesses to birth Three solar deities. An unknown number of wise men.[35] They are said to have brought three gifts; thus the legend grew that there were three men.
Death threat during infancy Herut tried to have Horus murdered. Herod tried to have Jesus murdered.
Handling the threat The God That tells Horus' mother to: "Come, thou goddess Isis, hide thyself with thy child." An angel tells Jesus' father to: "Arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt."
Rite of passage ritual Horus came of age with a special ritual, when his eye was restored. Taken by parents to the temple for what is today called a bar mitzvah ritual.

Raising of the dead Horus raised Osirus, his dead father, from the grave.[37] Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave.
Location where the resurrection miracle occurred Anu, an Egyptian city where the rites of the death, burial and resurrection of Horus were enacted annually.[37] Hebrews added their prefix for house ('beth") to "Anu" to produce "Beth-Anu" or the "House of Anu." Since "u" and "y" were interchangeable in antiquity, "Bethanu" became "Bethany", the location mentioned in John 11.
Linkage between the name of Osirus in Egyptian religion and Lazarus in the Gospel of John Asar was an alternative name for Osirus, Horus' father. Horus raised Asar from the dead. He was referred to as "the Asar," as a sign of respect. Translated into Hebrew, Asr is "El-Asar." The Romans added the prefix "us" to indicate a male name, producing "Elasarus." Over time, the "E" was dropped and "s" became "z," producing "Lazarus."[37] Jesus is said to have raised his friend Lazarus from the dead.

Lectures on Aesthetics[edit]

Lectures on Aesthetics was compiled by Hegel's students after his death from his lecture notes. Hegel documents the rise of art from symbolic architecture, classical sculpture and romantic poetry. At the time it was noted for the wealth of pictures included with it. In Hegel's discussion of sculpture he outlined his ideas on human beauty. He also attacks the medieval values of chivalry.

2. Hegel's Texts and Lectures on Aesthetics Hegel's Aesthetics, First published Tue Jan 20, 2009, Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Hegel's published thoughts on aesthetics are to be found in pars. 556–63 of the 1830 Encyclopaedia. Hegel also held lectures on aesthetics in Heidelberg in 1818 and in Berlin in 1820/21 (winter semester), 1823 and 1826 (summer semesters), and 1828/29 (winter semester). Transcripts of Hegel's lectures made by his students in 1820/21, 1823 and 1826 have now been published (though no English translations of these transcripts are yet available) (see Bibliography). In 1835 (and then again in 1842) one of Hegel's students, Heinrich Gustav Hotho, published an edition of Hegel's lectures on aesthetics based on a manuscript of Hegel's (now lost) and a series of lecture transcripts. This is available in English as: G.W.F. Hegel, Aesthetics. Lectures on Fine Art, trans. T.M. Knox, 2 vols. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1975). Most of the secondary literature on Hegel's aesthetics (in English and German) makes reference to Hotho's edition. Yet according to one of the leading specialists on Hegel's aesthetics, Annemarie Gethmann-Siefert, Hotho distorted Hegel's thought in various ways: he gave Hegel's account of art a much stricter systematic structure than Hegel himself had given it, and he supplemented Hegel's account with material of his own (PKÄ, xiii–xv). Gethmann-Siefert argues, therefore, that we should not rely on Hotho's edition for our understanding of Hegel's aesthetics, but should instead base our interpretation on the available lecture transcripts.

Since Hegel's manuscript, on which Hotho based much of his edition, has been lost, it is no longer possible to determine with certainty to what extent (if at all) Hotho did in fact distort Hegel's account of art. It should also be noted that Gethmann-Siefert's own interpretation of Hegel's aesthetics has been called into question (see Houlgate 1986a). Nevertheless, Gethmann-Siefert is right to encourage readers with a knowledge of German to consult the published transcripts, since they contain a wealth of important material, and in some cases material that is missing from the Hotho edition (such as the brief reference to Caspar David Friedrich in the 1820/21 lectures [VÄ, 192]).

Hegel's philosophy of art has provoked considerable debate since his death in 1831. Does he believe that only Greek art is beautiful? Does he hold that art comes to an end in the modern age? The answers one gives to such questions should, however, be offered with a degree of caution, for, sadly, there is no fully worked out philosophy of art by Hegel that was officially endorsed by Hegel himself. The paragraphs in the Encyclopaedia are written by Hegel, but they are very brief and condensed and were intended to be supplemented by Hegel's lectures; the transcripts of the lectures are written by students of Hegel (some taken down in class, some compiled afterwards from notes taken in class); and the “standard” edition of Hegel's lectures is actually a work put together by Hegel's student, Hotho (albeit using a manuscript by Hegel himself). There is, therefore, no definitive edition of Hegel's fully developed aesthetic theory that would trump all others and settle all debate.

HEIDELBERG (1816-1818) ~ 1817 First Lectures on Aesthetics

Table of Contents

Introduction (Development of the Ideal in the Special Forms Of Art)

In the first part of this work we have had under consideration the realisation of the idea of the beautiful as constituting the ideal in art, however numerous may be the different phases under which the conception of the ideal is presented to our view, all these determinations are only related to the work of art considered in a general way.

Now, the idea of the beautiful as the absolute idea contains a totality of distinct elements, or of essential moments, which as such, must manifest themselves outwardly and become realised. Thus are produced what we may call, in general, the Special Forms of Art.

These must be considered as the development of those ideas which the conception of the ideal contains within it, and which art brings to light. Thus its development is not accomplished by virtue of an external activity, but by the specific force inherent in the idea itself so that the Idea, which develops itself in a totality of particular forms, is what the world of art presents us.

In the second place, if the forms of art find their principle in the idea which they manifest, this, on the contrary, is truly the idea only when it is realised in its appropriate forms. Thus, to each particular stage which art traverses in its development, there is immediately joined a real form. It is, then, indifferent whether we consider the progress as shown in the development of the idea, or in that of the forms which realise it, since these two terms are closely united, the one to the other, and since the perfecting of the idea as matter appears no less clearly than does the perfecting of form.

Hence, imperfection of the artistic form betrays itself also as imperfection of idea. If, then, at the origin of art, we encounter forms which, compared with the true ideal, are inadequate to it, this is not to be understood in the sense in which we are accustomed to say of works of art that they are defective, because they express nothing, or are incapable of attaining to the idea which they ought to express. The idea of each epoch always finds its appropriate and adequate form, and these are what we designate as the special forms of art. The imperfection or the perfection can consist only in the degree of relative truth which belongs to the idea itself; for the matter must first be true, and developed in itself before it can find a perfectly appropriate form.

We have, in this respect, three principal forms to consider:

1. The first is the Symbolic Form. Here the idea seeks its true expression in art without finding it; because, being still abstract and indefinite, it cannot create an external manifestation which conforms to its real essence. It finds itself in the presence of the phenomena of nature and of the events of human life, as if confronted by a foreign world. Thus it exhausts itself in useless efforts to produce a complete expression of conceptions vague and ill-defined; it perverts and falsifies the forms of the real world which it seizes in arbitrary relations. Instead of combining and identifying, of blending totally the form and the idea, it arrives only at a superficial and abstract agreement between them. These two terms, thus brought into connection, manifest their disproportion and heterogeneity.

2. But the idea, in virtue of its very nature, cannot remain thus in abstraction and indetermination. As the principle of free activity, it seizes itself in its reality as spirit. The spirit, then, as free subject, is determined by and for itself, and in thus determining itself it finds in its own essence its appropriate outward form. This unity, this perfect harmony between the idea and its external manifestation, constitutes the second form of art — the Classic Form.

Here art has attained its perfection, in so far as there is reached a perfect harmony between the idea as spiritual individuality, and the form as sensuous and corporeal reality. All hostility between the two elements has disappeared, in order to give place to a perfect harmony.

3. Nevertheless, spirit cannot rest with this form, which is not its complete realisation. To reach this perfect realisation, spirit must pass beyond the classic form, must arrive at a spirituality, which, returning upon itself, descends into the depths of its own inmost nature in the classic form, indeed, not withstanding its generality, spirit reveals itself with a Special determinate character; it does not escape from the finite. Its external form, as a form altogether visible, is limited. The matter, the idea itself, because there is perfect fusion, must present the same character. Only the finite spirit is able to unite itself with external manifestation so as to form an indissoluble unity.

When the idea of beauty seizes itself as absolute or infinite Spirit, it also at the same time discovers itself to be no longer completely realised in the forms of the external world; it is only in the internal world of consciousness that it finds, as spirit, its true unity. It breaks up then this unity which forms the basis of Classical Art; it abandons the external world in order to take refuge within itself. This is what furnishes the type of the Romantic Form. Sensuous representation, with its images borrowed from the external world, no longer sufficing to express free spirituality, the form becomes foreign and indifferent to the idea. So that Romantic Art thus reproduces the separation of matter and form, but from the side opposite to that from which this separation takes place in Symbolic Art.

As a summary of the foregoing, we may say that Symbolic Art seeks this perfect unity of the idea with the external form; Classic Art finds it, for the senses and the imagination, in the representation of spiritual individuality; Romantic Art transcends it in its infinite spirituality, which rises above the visible world.

Of the Symbolic Form of Art (The Symbol is a sensuous object; Symbol as a special Form of Art; DIVISION: The point of departure; The termination of this epoch;

Of the Ideal of Classic Art ( The Classic Ideal: The ideal as free creation of the imagination of the artist; They borrow their ideas from the human heart; All foreign elements are cast out; Acknowledging the presence of the Gods, and signaling what is remarkable in natural events; The new gods of Classic Art: Concentrated individuality; The external and corporeal form; Their universal and absolute character; External character of the representation)

Of the Romantic Form of Art (Introduction — of the Romantic in General;The Circle of Objects Conditioned by Romantic Art; First point of departure; Spiritual reconciliation as a movement of the spirit; Spirit has its representative in man: The relation of the content to the mode of its representation; The material of Romantic Art; The content is already at hand for itself in imagination and sensuous perception; Romantic Art no longer has for its aim the free vitality of actual existence; DIVISION; The Religious as such; The Secular world; The Formal Independence of Character; Spiritual being has attained a shape adequate to the conception of spirit: The beautiful in art is the Idea as developed into concrete form fit for reality; The different relations of content and shape; The Beginning of Art; The Classical Form of Art; The Romantic Form of Art: How these principles pass into Actual Existence: Architecture: Sculpture: The totality of Arts; Painting; Music; Poetry; The Idea of Beauty)

Morgante is a family name used in Italy. Morgante and its variations, Morganti, Murgante and Murganti are present throughout Italy. Morgante seems to have a strain in Sicily, and in the province of Reggio Calabria, Messina, L'Aquila, Rome, Milan and Udine. Morganti is widespread in Central Italy, and also in Northern Italy in the province of Varese, Como and Milan. Murgante and Murganti are very rare. Murgante has a small presence in Montemilone near Potenza, and also in the province of Foggia, while Murganti has a presence in Emilia and in Sicily.[39] These variations should come, either directly or through changes in Italian dialects, after the name given to the complete edition of Morgante, an Italian medieval romantic epic poem by Luigi Pulci, which appeared in its final form in 1483.[40] These surnames are also present in many parts of the world where Italian people and families of Italian descent or heritage live.

The total number of died is approximately 1 million in a period of 20 years that it is far away from 9-10,000,000 or other unsourced assertions. The majority of the prisoners were common criminals (murderers, rapists, thieves, etc.). In the labour colonies there was only a partial loss of liberty. Every 10 years around 100 million people die of starvation in capitalistic societies, and every three seconds a child dies of hunger in the world.

Anna Louise Strong about Stalin[edit]

In an article published by The Dial Press in 1941, Anna Louise Strong wrote about Stalin:

"Cartoons and innuendo have been used to create the legend of a crafty, bloodthirsty dictator who even strives to involve the world in war and chaos so that something called “Bolshevism” may gain. This preposterous legend will shortly die." ... "We may even come to hear Stalin spoken of, as a Soviet writer once described him, as “the world’s great democrat”!" ... "He is far and away the best committee chairman of my experience. He can bring everybody’s views out and combine them in the minimum of time. His method of running committees reminded me somewhat of Jane Addams of Hull House or Lillian D. Wald of Henry Street Settlement. They had the same kind of democratically efficient technique, but they used more high pressure than Stalin did." ... "any person representing either a signal achievement or a typical problem might be invited by Stalin to talk it over. That was the way he got his data and kept in touch with the movement of the country." ... "we sat down rather casually, and Stalin was not even at the head of the table; Voroshilov was" ... "A quiet youth who sat at the edge of the committee, saying almost nothing, but listening very much." ... "In order to survive, they must learn to agree quickly and unanimously, to feel each other’s instincts, to guess even at a distance each other’s brains. It was in such a group that he gained his Party name—it is not the one that he was born with—“the Steel One, Stalin.”" ... "His talent for co-operative action is more significant for the world than the fact that he is great." ... "Stalin does not think individually" ... "Stalin thinks not only with his own brain but in consultation with the brains of the Academy of Science, the chiefs of industry, the Congress of Trade Unions, the Party leaders." ... "When Emil Ludwig and, later, Roy Howard sought to learn “how the great dictator made up his mind,” Stalin told them: “Single persons cannot decide. Experience has shown us that individual decisions, uncorrected by others, contain a large percentage of error.” Soviet people never speak of “Stalin’s will” or “Stalin’s orders”; they speak of “government orders” and “the Party line,” which are decisions produced collectively. But they speak very much of “Stalin’s method” as a method that everyone should learn." ... "“That is our ‘terrible democracy,’” he told me. “Of course, your affair is really settled, but technically it must be approved by all the members of the Political Bureau, some of whom are in the Caucasus and some in Leningrad. It will go as routine with a lot of other decisions and none of them will bother about your question because they know nothing about it. But this is our usual safeguard for anyone of the members may wish to add or change something in some decision. That decision will then go back to committee till all are satisfied.”" ... "Stalin quite naturally studied both the British and the American historical revolutions far more intimately than British and American politicians do." ... "“The art of leadership,” said Stalin once, “is a serious matter. One must not lag behind the movement, because to do so is to become isolated from the masses. But one must not rush ahead, for this is to lose contact with the masses.”"

J. V. Stalin Works[edit]

“The comrades who say that the dictatorship of the proletariat is impossible because the proletariat constitutes a minority of the population interpret the strength of a majority mechanically. Even the Soviets represent only the 20,000,000 people they have organized, but thanks to their organization they have the following of the whole population. The whole population will follow an organized force that can break the shackles of economic disruption.” – J. V. Stalin, 4. REPLY TO THE DISCUSSION July 16, SPEECHES DELIVERED AT AN EMERGENCY CONFERENCE OF THE PETROGRAD ORGANIZATION OF THE R.S.D.L.P. (BOLSHEVIKS) July 16–20, 1917, First published in 1923, in the magazine Krasnaya Letopis, No. 7


The future is on the side of a new revolution. Only the establishment of the full power of the people can give the peasants land, bring order into the economic life of the country, and ensure peace, which is so essential for the suffering and exhausted peoples of Europe.” – J. V. Stalin, WHAT HAS HAPPENED?', Rabochy i Soldat, No. 1, July 23, 1917

“The following is a model platform that might serve as a basis of agreement with such non-party organizations of peasants and soldiers:

  1. We are opposed to the landlords and capitalists and their “Party of Popular Freedom,” because they, and they alone, are the chief enemies of the Russian people. No confidence in, and no support for, the rich and their government!
  2. We give our confidence and support to the working class, the devoted champion of socialism; we are for alliance and agreement of the peasants, soldiers and sailors with the workers against the landlords and capitalists.
  3. We are opposed to the war, for it is a war of conquest. Any talk about peace without annexations will remain empty prating so long as the war is waged on the basis of the secret treaties concluded by the tsar with the British and French capitalists.
  4. We are in favour of the speediest ending of the war by means of a determined struggle of the peoples against their imperialist governments.
  5. We are opposed to the anarchy in industry, which is being aggravated by the capitalists. We are in favour of workers’ control over industry; we are in favour of industry being organized on democratic lines by the intervention of the workers themselves and of a government recognized by them.
  6. We are in favour of well-organized exchange of products between town and country, so that the towns may be supplied with sufficient quantities of provisions and the rural districts with sugar, paraffin, footwear, textiles, hardware and other necessary goods.
  7. We are in favour of all the land—appanage, state, crown, landlord, monastery and church—being transferred to the whole people without compensation.
  8. We are in favour of all unused land, arable and grazing, belonging to the landlords, being placed immediately at the disposal of democratically elected Peasant Committees.
  9. We are in favour of all unused draft animals and farm implements now in the possession of landlords or in warehouses being placed immediately at the disposal of the Peasant Committees to be used for purposes of tillage, mowing, harvesting, etc.
  10. We are in favour of all disabled soldiers, as well as widows and orphans, being paid allowances adequate to maintain a decent human existence.
  11. We are in favour of a people’s republic, without a standing army, bureaucracy, or police force.
  12. In place of a standing army we demand a national guard with elected commanders.
  13. In place of a non-accountable bureaucratic officialdom we demand that government servants be elected and subject to recall.
  14. In place of a police exercising tutelage over the people we demand a militia chosen by election and subject to recall.
  15. We are in favour of the annulment of the “orders” directed against the soldiers and sailors.
  16. We are opposed to the disbanding of regiments and the incitement of soldier against soldier.
  17. We are opposed to the persecution of the workers’ and soldiers’ press; we are opposed to restriction of free speech and assembly whether in the rear or at the front; we are opposed to arrests without trial; we are opposed to disarmament of the workers.
  18. We are opposed to the reintroduction of the death penalty.
  19. We are in favour of all the nations of Russia being granted the right freely to arrange their lives in their own way, and of none of them being subjected to oppression.
  20. Lastly, we are in favour of all power in the country being turned over to the revolutionary Soviets of Workers and Peasants, for only such power can lead the country out of the impasse into which it has been driven by the war, the economic disruption and the high cost of living, and by the capitalists and landlords, who are battening on the people’s need. Such, in general, is the platform that might serve as a basis of agreement between our Party organizations and the non-party revolutionary groups of peasants and soldiers.” – J. V. Stalin, THE CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY ELECTIONS, Rabochy i Soldat, No. 4, July 27, 1917


“To this end, the Bolshevik Party demands:

  1. Immediate removal of the counter-revolutionary generals in the rear and at the front and their replacement by commanders elected by the soldiers and officers, and in general the complete democratization of the army from top to bottom;
  2. Restoration of the revolutionary soldiers’ organizations, which alone are capable of establishing democratic discipline in the army;
  3. Repeal of all repressive measures, and, in the first place, the death penalty;
  4. Immediate placing of all landed estates at the disposal of the Peasant Committees, and supply of agricultural implements to the poor peasants;
  5. Legislative enactment of an 8-hour day and institution of democratic control over factories, mills and banks, with representatives of the workers predominating in the control bodies;
  6. Complete democratization of the financial system— in the first place, ruthless taxation of capital and capitalist property and confiscation of the scandalous war profits;
  7. Organization of proper exchange between town and country, so that the towns receive the food supplies and the rural districts the manufactured goods they need;
  8. Immediate proclamation of the right of the nations of Russia to self-determination; WE DEMAND! 281
  9. Restoration of liberties, decreeing of a democratic republic, and immediate convocation of a Constituent Assembly;
  10. Annulment of the secret treaties with the Allies and proposal of terms for a universal democratic peace.

The Party declares that unless these demands are realized it will be impossible to save the revolution, which for half a year now has been stifling in the clutches of war and general disruption.

The Party declares that the only possible way of securing these demands is to break with the capitalists, completely liquidate the bourgeois counter-revolution, and transfer power in the country to the revolutionary workers, peasants and soldiers.

That is the only means of saving the country and the revolution from collapse.” – J. V. Stalin, WE DEMAND!, Rabochy, No. 4, August 28, 1917

WikiProjects


Editorials, interviews, and much more[edit]

What motivated you to join WikiProject U2? Have you contributed to any of the project's Good or Featured Articles?
  • I have joined the WikiProject U2 in February 2008, but haven't been as active as I wanted to be. I first knew of this band when a LP dropped on my turntable, it was their debut album, Boy in late 1980, … and decided that "I Will Follow" this band with interest. The first impression is often the best impression, and Boy was followed by October (1981), War (1983), and The Unforgettable Fire (1984), just some favourites of mine. I am a long time member of the WikiProject U2, but, except for marginal and sporadic interventions, I have not contributed much to any of the project's best articles. Maybe one day some of our newest collaborative efforts will become featured articles. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:08, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


How much has changed since we last visited the project three years ago? What are the project's current goals and initiatives? How have you kept the project's momentum going?
  • The activities in the main namespace has been already described very well by Melicans. On the obscure side of the project things have not gone as well as we would expect. Except for 2007, when the project was started, our members have not been fully active for years. Things seem to have gotten better here since the arrival of Miss Bono in late 2012 – early 2013. In April 2013, there was a roll call, in order to keep the project up-to-date on our number of active members. Project's pages and portal have been redesigned and reorganized. Finally, after many years, a new newsletter has been published and other newsletters are in preparation. Also, there have been several good results in the main namespace: some articles have seen a marked improvement and new articles have been created while others are in the process of being published. We need to do much more, but the vast majority of the credit goes to Miss Bono, without her active participation, and the hard work she put into it, this would never have happened. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 12:27, 23 September 2013 (UTC)


Are some eras of the band's existence better covered than others on Wikipedia? Has it been difficult to find sources for the production details of albums or tours that occurred years ago?
  • The project currently has eight featured articles but only two are from the “eighties”, and more precisely two songs: "One Tree Hill" and "Mothers of the Disappeared", both from the album The Joshua Tree (1987), which is itself a good article. All other albums released before The Joshua Tree are rated as "B-Class", except for October (1981), which has been assessed as C-Class. With the exception of the War Tour, which took place in 1982–1983 and is a good article, all articles about their tours until The Joshua Tree Tour are Start-Class articles. And that says it all! But the problem of finding source and materials for articles regarding albums and torus released before the “Internet era” (circa 1991 onwards) is not a problem that only affects our WikiProject, but it is common to many other projects and articles about music, entertainment, popular culture, and many other area. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 08:40, 24 September 2013 (UTC)


WikiProject U2 also covers philanthropic ventures launched or supported by the band. Have you seen other music-related projects include philanthropy in their focus or is this unique to WikiProject U2? How is the format and focus of these articles different from the project's music-related articles?
  • Philanthropy, intended as "love of humanity", the intention of increasing the well-being of mankind, is a generic term that, for better or for worse, belongs to all. For this reason many music-related projects include this kind of "philanthropy" in their focus. Charitable foundations are also covered by many projects, but WikiProject U2 has a really impressive quantity — relative to the total number of articles covered by the project — and often quality, of articles and informations on this subject. ONE for all. To come across philanthropy, as well as history, biography and economy or having to deal with the spiders of the Colorado Desert is not a problem for many editors. I think that it is very difficult that a wikipedian will contribute only on a single subject; maybe when he was a novice, but on a long time scale, he/she will have to face every days things. All the "few" things we know. Most likely an editor is also a reader, remember that there are more Wikipedia's readers than editors. Readers and editors often use Wikipedia as a starting point of their researches and studies expanding their knowledge and also the number of contributions to Wikipedia in the fields of their everyday life. And, as in everyday life, you cannot live on U2 alone. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 14:40, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


Has the project run into any issues with neutral point of view or notability with regards to U2-related subjects? What can be done to help the band's fans contribute to Wikipedia in constructive ways?
  • There are no special issues regarding a "neutral point of view" at the moment, except for Product Red that has a NPOV dispute started in March 2011. It is a criticism or contorversy about its Criticism or Controversy section; in fact, a matter of controversy. Joking a part, no "notability" issues are known currently. U2's fans that want to contribute to Wikipedia (and to Wikipedia's articles related to U2) can ask for help at the project talk page or by contacting any of the active members of the project — we would be glad to help in any way we can. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 13:10, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


What are WikiProject U2's most urgent needs? How can a new contributor help today?
  • WikiProject U2 currently covers 253 articles that belong to the main namespace. There are 8 featured articles plus a featured list, and 24 good articles. All these articles (especially the band's main article, and articles about the four members and the main albums) must be maintained or improved to FA-Class. At the moment, we have 67 articles rated as top or high importance; some of them list editors who are available to help with them and have specific "to-do" lists; you can find both of them in their talk pages. New contributor, and all other editors, are encouraged to contribute and review articles within the scope of the WikiProject U2, and also to share their thoughts, ideas, suggestions and concerns via discussions on talk pages. A to-do list for WikiProject U2 is also available. Please consider joining us, WikiProject U2 needs your help! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 12:12, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

The Punks of Wikipedia

By Mabeenot – 18 June 2012

This week, we turn to WikiProject Punk Music for an alternative view of Wikipedia's coverage of music topics. The project has grown from its modest beginnings in April 2006 into a refuge for Wikipedia's punks along with the 5 Featured Articles and 27 Good Articles they watch over. WikiProject Punk Music is home to the Good Charlotte Task Force and oversees two child projects, WikiProject The Clash and WikiProject Green Day. The project maintains a to do list, a portal, and a newsletter that is delivered to anyone listed on the project's participant page. We interviewed Jasper420, Guerillero, Benzband, and Pjoef.

What motivated you to join WikiProject Punk Music? What is you favorite Punk band?

Jasper420: It's one of the only subjects on which I am knowledgeable, which in turn is mostly due to the work of Wikiproject Punk writing Wikipedia articles. And lets go with The Gaslight Anthem. They're one of the only bands who've consistently been putting excellent music, and they've done it for 3 straight albums.
Guerillero: I have been involved with the punk scene since Jr High. This is a natural extension of my involvement. As for a favorite band — that is hard. I will list three: Minor Threat, Fugazi, and The Wonder Years.
Benzband: I listen to the music (punk, hardcore punk and ska punk), play it (in the garage, lol), and edit related articles. What other motivation does one need? :) As for bands there are a number of really great ones, too many to draw up a list here.
Pjoef: When I was 13, I was in a Heavy Metal/Punk Rock band called Larsen (from the audio feedback named after the Danish scientist). I listen to all kinds of music from Josquin des Prez to The Mars Volta, from the Renaissance to Trance, but my favourite band of all time is The Clash, "the only band that (still) matters". Punk Rock is an attitude, and the essence of the attitude is give Wikipedia some more articles and contents about Punk!

The project claims 6 Featured Articles and Lists plus 26 Good Articles. Have you worked on any of these? Have you learned anything about the FA or GA process along the way?

Jasper420: I'm sure I've done something small to at least one of them, but I don't participate in the writing process.
Benzband: ↑ this.
Guerillero: I am not much of a writer; my strength in the main-space is sourcing. I have worked on some B class and below articles, straight edge for example, but I have never brought an article to GA status or have done substantial work on an article that is already a GA or FA. Maybe one day...
Pjoef: Maybe yes, but honestly I haven't learned so much about FA and GA processes except for the GA nominations of The Clash and London Calling articles.

In comparison to other music genres, how well does Wikipedia cover Punk music? Are there some aspects of Punk that tend to be over-represented or neglected?

Jasper420: I'm pretty sure Wikiproject Metal has us beat in a lot of areas, including Featured Articles.
Guerillero: Wikipedia covers punk as well as it can in quantity; the quality is where things are lacking. There is a whole lot of sourcing and improving that needs to be done.
Pjoef: The assessment departments of all WikiProjects about music (all kinds of) speak for themselves. There is a lot more work to do.

Are there any challenges to taking pictures of notable musicians and venues? What are some images the project could use help acquiring?

Jasper420: Not so much band images, but albums covers are always appreciated.
Guerillero: There are quite a few bands (70s and 80s) that have very few free images because most donate-able images are still on film. For example there are many notable bands that have no pictures.
Pjoef: We really need more pictures!

The project oversees three task forces focusing on individual bands. Have you been involved in any of these? How much collaboration goes on between the task forces and the parent project?

Benzband: There is The Clash WikiProject which hasn't been very active recently but editors are most welcome to join.
Pjoef: I started it in November 2007. There is also a good Portal.

What are the project's greatest needs? How can a new contributor help today?

Jasper420: We can always use people to upload album covers. That's what I do around here, but help is of course appreciated. There's also a bit of an overhaul going on with some of the major punk record labels, such as Bridge 9, SideOneDummy, and Punk Core, among others. Categorization and what not. Anyone interested can contact me.
Pjoef: To improve all articles related to Punk.
Guerillero: Bringing articles up to 2012 levels of sourcing is always an easy place to start. Another would be to look for a crufty stub to fix up and bring up to Start or C class.

Anything else you'd like to add?

Jasper420: Let's just go ahead and say, help is always needed.
Benzband: "The future is unwritten." Let's write it!
Pjoef: "This is a public service announcement with guitar: Know Your Rights — all FIVE of them."


Welcome to the first issue of The Wikifier

Monday 10 January 2011

“Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information.” —Michael Scott

Since this is the first edition of The Wikifier and my first attempt to an "editorial" or something close to that, I must begin by saying thank you to everyone who gave so generously to our project; it's an enormous privilege and joy to be part of the project. I am so very pleased to introduce this first Issue of the "wikification" newsletter, which I hope will be a success.

Wikify, Wfy, WFY, wfy, Wiki-ise, Wiki-ize, Wikification, Wikifying, Wikiise, Wikiize, Wikipedify.... What does it mean? Well, paraphrasing and summarising the glossary of terms commonly used on Wikipedia, it means to format a page by using wiki markup. They are all things we all do in reality often without even realising, this includes to apply any form of wiki-markup for standard headings, page layout, text formatting, links and URLs, files, lists, tables, templates and more.

In this space, every two months, other editors will present informative and/or instructional editorials, meant to help you. I would like to remind you that the next 'Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive' will start in February. Are you ready? The last backlog elimination drive was a great success! Also, if you want to add yourself to our list of participants, please, visit this page. You may also try your luck! And remember, the "holy book", the main reference for each wikipedian is our Manual of Style. My advice is, if you are in doubt, then consult "the manual".

I would also like to say a big thank you to any and all who have been involved in pulling this newsletter together and I'm sure you'll join me in wishing them all the best for the future.

Don't be afraid to edit and be bold! Happy editing and Happy New Year!

MotD - ToDo...[edit]

→ If ever you have looked on better days;
If ever been where bells have knolled to church.[edit]

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), As You Like It, Act II, Scene vii (1623)

→ As if Misfortune made the throne her seat,
And none could be unhappy but the great.[edit]

Nicholas Rowe (dramatist) (1674–1718), The Fair Penitent: Prologue (1703)

→ More safe I sing with mortal voice, unchanged
To hoarse or mute, though fallen on evil days,
On evil days though fallen, and evil tongues.[edit]

John Milton (1608–1674), Paradise Lost, Book VII (1667)

→ By Heaven, methinks, it were an easy leap,
To pluck bright honor from the pale-faced moon,
Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
Where fathom-line could never touch the ground,
And pluck up drowned honor by the locks.[edit]

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), Henry IV, Part 1, Act I, Scene iii (1598)

Today's motto...

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


Nominate one today!

Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.

Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

This message has been sent by pjoef on behalf of Motto of the Day to all editors of the English Wikipedia who are showing MOTD's templates on their pages, and to all the participants to MOTD: (page, template, and category).



  • MOTDs ([[Wikipedia:MOTD|This space for rent]])
  • Motto of the Day Help Request March 2012
  • 2012-03-06-07

You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs [[Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review|here]]. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using ([[Wikipedia:MOTD|This space for rent]]). Any help would be appreciated! ~~~~

[[WP:MOTD|We all at Motto of the Day]] are again in a state of emergency and really need your help! Please, [[Wikipedia:MOTD/N#In review|review the nominations and nominate new motto[e]s in the '''In review''' section]], where possible once per week or our daily motto could stop.<br>If you have any questions or suggestions about '''[[WP:MOTD|MOTD]]''', please [[Wikipedia talk:Motto of the day|'''let us know''']]. '''Thank you!''' ~~~~ :<small>This message has been sent by [[User:Pjoef|p<span style="color: #802400">joe</span>f]] in behalf of [[WP:MOTD|Motto of the Day]] to all editors who are showing a [[WP:MOTD|Motto of the Day]]'s template on their page(s) (and subpages), and all participants to [[WP:MOTD|MOTD]], with the exception of the editors "considered to be" no longer active on the English Wikipedia.</small>

Charlie Don't Surf[edit]

"Charlie Don't Surf" is a song from The Clash's 1980 album Sandinista!. The song and the whole album were recorded in London, Manchester, Jamaica and New York. It was produced by the band, recorded and mixed by Bill Price, and engineered by Jeremy Green at Wessex Sound Studios, J. P. Nicholson at Electric Lady Studios, Lancelot "Maxie" McKenzie at Channel One Studios, and Bill Price at Pluto and Power Station Studios.[41][42][43]

The song, a classic Clash song that rank among the band's best,[44][45][46][47][48] builds on a revolutionary wave of Paul Simonon's bass.[49][50] It is a critical protest song based on the famous sentence from the film Apocalypse Now. A line in "Charlie Don't Surf" “satellites will make space burn” anticipated Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative by two and a half years.[51][52] It is a rather obscure slow-burner, a haunting protest song, equal parts lounge, surf, and '50s ballad.[53][47] The song tries to give voice to the people of the World. It is an anti-war, anti-racism song with a great political impact as evidenced in lines such as “Everybody wants to rule the world/Must be something we get from birth”, “The reign of the super powers must be over/So many armies can't free the earth” and “We've been told to keep the strangers out/We don't like them starting to hang around/We don't like them all over town/Across the world we're gonna blow 'em down.”.[52][54][55]

The song features on some unofficial albums. A live version of the song recorded on June 4, 1981 at Bond's Casino, New York City, features on the 2000 live bootleg Live at Bond's Casino.[56][57] The live version recorded in Tokyo on 1982 features on Yellow Riot: Tokyo 1982, a 1992 CD released by Genuine Pig.[58] Another live performance of the song features on Pier Pressure, a compilation, bootleg CD released by Tendolar that collects live materials and demo versions from 1977 to February 1982.[59] The song also features on The Clash: Westway to the World, a 2000 documentary film about the British punk rock band The Clash, directed by Don Letts.[42][53]

The American surf rock band Pollo Del Mar frequently covers the song during live sets.[60] The San Francisco, California based band also recorded a cover version on Charlie Does Surf (A Tribute To The Clash), a 2004 tribute album recorded by various artists and released by Rickshaw Records.[61] The Crunchies delivered a great version of "Charlie Don't Surf" that features on the 2005 tribute album, The Sandinista Project!. A major film retrospective has been assembled to honour and appreciate Joe Strummer's contribution to the screen. Filmstock Film Festival in association with Strummerville presented a unique season of films entitled Charlie Don't Surf at the Curzon Soho Cinema, London between the 8th and 11th of December 2005.[62][63][64] Two bands, one from Bristol and another from Brussels, Belgium took their name from the song.[65][66]

In 2007, the Japanese fashion group Bounty Hunter released Charlie Don't Surf reversible tee where one side of the tee reveals a graphic inspired by the song.[67][68] Back in the U.S.A., a best-selling T-shirt combines Charlie Manson, the Clash, and Apocalypse Now with Manson's face and the classic line "Charlie Don't Surf".[69]

Notable live performances[edit]

"Charlie Don't Surf" was performed live several times during their 16 Tons European Tour in 1980, Impossible Mission Tour, Paris Residency and Radio Clash UK Tour in 1981, Far East Tour 82, Casbah Club UK Tour (Terry Chimes replaced Topper Headon) and Combat Rock USA Tour in 1982, and USA Festival Tour in 1983.

The song had its live debut in Gothenburg, Sweden on May 24, 1980 for their 16 Tons European Tour,[70] then the song was performed live several times by the band.

On May 8, 1981 at the Hippodrome de Pantin in Paris Strummer sarcastically said “Yes if you can wait for 1977 just a bit longer – got your return tickets? got your platform tickets, got all the right gear on, got the right attitude, well just kinda hold it there for a second we'll be right back”. Strummer ad–libbed about Saigon radio coming in, and Jimi Hendrix on the radio. There was plenty of applause; the complainer was in the minority, with the Paris audience receiving the Sandinista heavy set very enthusiastically.[71] The next day, during their concert at the Palais St. Sauveur in Lille, France on May 9, 1981 for their Impossible Mission Tour, Joe Strummer ad-libbed over the ending of a fine rendition of the song suggesting the audience did not like this unfamiliar Clash beautiful song.[72]

On May 21, 1981 at the Vellodromo Vigorelli in Milan, Italy Strummer introduced the song on the screen images of Vietnam War. Paradoxically it was one of the sweetest moments of the concert, the singing of Strummer, Jones and Simonon superimposed in a winding game of waves that from the stage spread themselves to all of the cycle track. It was one of the most intense moments of the concert; their rock music for a moment was visionary and hallucinatory.[73]

The song had its live debut in the United States at the Bonds International Casino in New York on May 28, "The Leader" was followed by "Charlie Don't Surf", which featured ad–libs from Strummer and a great guitar solo by Jones.[74] The June 9 performance is considered one of the best performances of "Charlie Don't Surf" and was surely more powerful than the studio version. Typical of the Bonds performances though the band were incredibly tight but not quite at their supercharged very best.[75] The song was performed in all of the seventeen concerts at Bonds International Casino with different renditions and references to the Vietnam War, Cambodia, Saigon, Jimi Hendrix, Radio Saigon, Vietnam veterans, Los Angeles veterans strikers, General MacArthur, and Coppola's Apocalypse Now.

"Charlie Don't Surf" had its last live appearance on May 26, 1983 at the Tucson Activities Centre – University of Arizona – in Tucson City, Arizona, USA.

Regardless of your opinion on their musicianship, or even whether you liked the band's music at all, the fact remains that The Clash pointed out life's bitter ironies for the poor, the oppressed, the trod upon, and the outcast. With such song like "Charlie Don't Surf", "Career Opportunities", "Guns on the Roof", "Guns of Brixton", "Clampdown," and so many more, The Clash painted a vivid picture of injustices inherent in, and perpetrated by the modern Western world.

Still, there are plenty of people who won't be happy until he does, because maybe once he's up on a board he'll stop being so angry at us. It's just that you can't get someone to hang ten if he's not interested or, worse, at the point of a gun.
    I harbor some hope that the folks pushing surfing lessons around the world, and their compatriots who'd land us in another Persian Gulf war before this administration takes a powder, are on the wrong side of history.
    But that hope is tempered with a sadness over the pace of that history. More than 25 years after its release, hearing Simenon, Headon, Strummer and Jones sing "It's a one a way street in a one horse town/One way people starting to brag around/You can laugh, put them down/These one way people gonna blow us down," makes me want to cry.
    Not for a lost youth, but for all the lost opportunity.

Catch your breath with this rather obscure slow-burner, a haunting protest song, equal parts lounge, surf, and '50s ballad. In Westway to the World, you can catch the boys performing a few bars of it at Bond's.

The Crunchies delivered a great version of "Charlie Don't Surf" for us (keep scrolling down until you arrive at their post), and it looks like "Charlie Don't Surf" is also the name of a Strummer-related film festival. The following is reposted from a Strummer news page:
    A major film retrospective has been assembled to honour and appreciate Joe Strummer's contribution to the screen. We can now confirm details of the 'Charlie Don't Surf' Festival planned for London this December.
    'CHARLIE DON'T SURF'
    A CINEMATIC TRIBUTE TO JOE STRUMMER
    CURZON CINEMA SOHO - LONDON - 8th - 11th DECEMBER 2005
    Filmstock Film Festival in association with Strummerville present a unique season of films entitled CHARLIE DON'T SURF at the Curzon Soho Cinema, London between the 8th and 11th of December.
    CHARLIE DON'T SURF celebrates the acting and composing output of the legendary musician in the period after The Clash and before The Mescaleros and proves that he created a body of work to rival any of the musicians who have tried to cut it on screen.
