Escuchando: pues no son ni The Birthday Party, ni sus sucesores, sino Not Necessarily "English Music" una compilación dedicada a la gran escena británica de libreimprovisación de los años sesenta y setenta, editada por EMF y que por estos lares distribuye arsonal. Estan todos, también está Derek, por supuesto.
Llega un grito a través del cielo. Ya ha ocurrido otras veces, pero ahora no hay nada con que compararlo.

Tom Waits, Dead and Lovely
Una muy adecuada pieza para acompañar una tarde fría y gris como la de hoy:
She was a middle class girl
She was in over her head
She thought she would
Stand up in the deep end
He had a bullet proof smile
He had money to burn
She thought she had the moon
In her pocket
But now she's dead
She's so dead
Forever dead and lovely now
I've always been told to
Remember this...
Don't let a fool kiss you
Never marry for love
He was hard to impress
He knew everyone's secrets
He wore her on his arm
Just like jewelry
He never gave but he got
He kept her on a leash
He's not the kind of wheel
You fall asleep at
But now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
Come closer, look deeper
You've fallen fast
Just like a plane on a
Stormy sea
She made up someone to be
She made up somewhere to be from
This is one business in the
World where that's no
Problem at all
Everything that is left
They will only plow under
Soon every one you know
Will be gone
And now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
Now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
I've always been told to
Remember this...
Don't let a kiss fool you
Never marry for love
Everything has its price [2x]
What's more romantic
Then dying in the moonlight?
Now they're all watching the sea
What's lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
But they were so shallow
And now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
And now she's dead
Forever dead
And she's so dead and lovely now

Me pasa a veces...
We go two, twice all the way round those things
Two high ones, two low ones, yeah
Right man
Man stopped us at corner
He had a bloody nose
And then he opened his denim jacket
It was under his vest made out of tracing paper
Chest scars portrayed Aztec life in his horrible...
...formation really late. Main sequence stars were no good for making carbon in this way. Red giant stars...
...[surplayed].
Disfigured in a lady, tedious
Was over accountant's and on business
Then I woke up and I decided to recommence my diary
Then I read Paula Yates on vision mopeds
Then I found out we were not going to Italy
Later Mam said 'Those continentals are little monkeys'
And yesterday we has liver and sausage over
And sometimes they say 'Hey Mark you're spoiling all the paintwork'
And sometimes they say 'Your thumbprints are on the paintwork'
Distractors, post-doctors behind come in
Dressed in suits, grow talons
Everyone clenched plaits horror
And sometimes they say...
And sometimes I feel like saying
This is bloody Newark
Or some drive-in slap place
In Breda and in Cologne
With the shirt [on/off]
Sun in vicinity
As if I hadn't done 10 month's service
In the USA
On media guts
[It circles is] where I start
And sometimes they say...
And I think
If I'd wanted to live in Holland
And if I'd wanted to be lived in
I'd have packed up and pissed off
When I was 16
A [Swiss good ass/as/at] this lousy business
Was the last thing I was ever imagining
Hey Mark, why can't I live in
[The end of shoes, all warehouse shoe/you've got
Cheap new one, the target is too yahoo
And take over all the desparate
I'll take over discussion and
....humanely regular colours over...
...engineered oxidate zeppelin
Old world style, old man only juke box caught
All power jets on....spectacular facets]
And sometimes they say....
Hey, you're fucking up the paintwork
What is this thing they're so hard-assed about?
I thought I lived in

Por qué no debes comprar un disco de Coldplay
Bochornoso. Nos meten troyanos, y ahora no nos deja reproducir los discos en casi ningún sitio. ¡Que les den! ¡NO compréis música! Gastaros ese dinero en ir a sus conciertos que así tus grupos preferidos ganarán más y el dinero no se quedará en intermediarios.
Por favor, continuad con este mensaje y publicarlo por todos los sitios, contádselo a todo el mundo. Vamos a echarles abajo su campaña de promoción y así recapacitarán y cambiarán. Se lo puedes decir personalmente a Coldplay incluso.

Wikipedia necesita ayuda económica.
And I’m doing this for my own daughter, who I hope will grow up in a world where culture is free, not proprietary, where control of knowledge is in the hands of people everywhere, with basic works they can adopt, modify, and share freely without asking permission from anyone.
