[music, polls and quizzes]

40 years, 40 albums, poll 2001


I am a little behind schedule with this. To finish the 40 albums series in time for my birthday I have to post a review every 5.5 days from now on. Luckily I already know my 2001 fave. But still, time is running...

Which of the following is your favourite album?

Love, pain and the consequences


An old Daily Philosophical Quotation

Today's date: 23 Dec 2002

We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.

Sigmund Freud --Civilisation and its Discontents

which makes the following line from Joni Mitchell's The Last Time I Saw Richard come to my mind:

... all romantics meet the same fate someday Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe

War on War


Wilco's mastermind Jeff Tweedy in an interview with the German Rolling Stone:

Wo stehst Du hinsichtlich eines Irak-Krieges?

Ich hab 'ne ganze Reihe von Songs geschrieben, die sehr klar machen - für mich zumindest-, dass ich nichts davon halte, Bomben auf Menschen zu werfen. Ich gehe der Politik aus dem Weg, weil ich glaube, egal welche Seite man unterstützt - man verfällt einer Illusion. Ich lebe lieber auf einem anderen Kontinent als in dieser Realität. Das klingt vielleicht nach Eskapismus, aber ich kenne niemanden, der nicht dieselben Konflikte in sich trägt, wie die Welt als Ganzes. Ich kenne niemanden, der immer nur nett zu allen ist, und niemanden, der nie lügt.

English translation with some help of Babelfish:

Which is your position concerning a war on Iraq?

I have written a whole row of songs which make very clear - for me at least - that I think nothing of throwing bombs on humans. I avoid politics because I believe, all the same which side one supported - one holds to an illusion. I rather live on another continent than in this reality. Perhaps that sounds like escapism but I do not know anybody who does not carry the same conflicts in himself like the world as a whole. I do not know anybody who is always nice to everybody and nobody who never lies.
