O make me a mask and a wall to shut from your spies

Of the sharp, enameled eyes and the spectacled claws

Rape and rebellion in the nurseries of my face,

Gag of a dumbstruck tree to block from bare enemies

The bayonet tongue in this undefended prayerpiece,

The present mouth, and the sweetly blown trumpet of lies,

Shaped in old armour and oak the countenance of a dunce

To shield the glistening brain and blunt the examiners,

And a tear-stained widower grief drooped from the lashes

To veil belladonna and let the dry eyes perceive

Others betray the lamenting lies of their losses

By the curve of the nude mouth or the laugh up the sleeves.


- Dylan Thomas -

Watching some musicals of the thirties
by Ernst Lubitsch,
I am amazed at how well actresses could cry in those days.

My songs are just like that,
like the songs of someone who was silent for a long time.

Fantastic dvd release ! (release is the word, Universal hid this film for years !)

It's called TWO-LANE BLACKTOP (in french MACADAM À DEUX VOIES)
it's edited by Criterion in the US and by Carlotta in France
It's what critic often refer to as "cult movies", which generaly indicates
a high rate of teets & ass
Well, no T&A in this one, just roadracers as distant and quiet as Bresson's characters,
and pictures and cuts so precise and so tight

damn ! you should see that

it has dennis wilson (from the beach boys) and james taylor as actors
and good news : they don't sing !

and warren oates is the king


love u
10 more days before the Coming Soon release
and guess what ! i feel good


yours
Howard Hughes

"Le passeport est la partie la plus noble de l'homme. D'ailleurs, un passeport ne se fabrique pas aussi simplement qu'un homme. On peut faire un homme n'importe où, le plus étourdiment du monde et sans motif raisonnable; un passeport, jamais. Aussi reconnaît-on la valeur d'un bon passeport, tandis que la valeur d'un homme, si grande qu'elle soit, n'est pas forcément reconnue." Bertolt Brecht

"Der Pass ist das edelste Teil von einem Menschen. Er kommt auch nicht auf so einfache Weise zustande wie ein Mensch. Ein Mensch kann überall zustandekommen, auf die lichtsinnigste Art und ohne gescheiten Grund, aber ein Pass niemals. Dafür wird er auch anerkannt, wenn er gut ist, während ein Mensch noch so gut sein kann und doch nicht anerkannt wird." Bertold Brecht

"The passport is the most noble part of a human being. It is also not created in such an easy way as a human being is. A human being can be created anywhere, in the most frivolous way and without a clear reason, but a passport can not. Therefor a passport is recognised, if it is good, while a human being can be as good as possible, and still not be recognised". Bertold Brecht

It's may first in France and people don't work,
i prefer when they work 'cause when they don't they go see spiderman
so you do what everybody does, just to get a taste of it
see what kicks they kick
and then, afer two hours you feel nauseous, depressed & enraged
was it worth it ? how long will it stick to your skin ?

this intercut of positive, loving-caring expensive feelings
spidey loves grandma
spidey loves bestfriend
spidey loves uncle-dada (very joycian : uncle dah-dah)
spidey loves girlfriend
spidey loves wife

with the ugliest special effects in the history of film
worst than hulk
worst than alien 3
worst than cabiria
worst than godzilla
worst than michael bay
worst than fascist robert rodriguez

then comes the catch:
spidey becomes a badass for 5 minutes !
can you believe it ? all this critical bullshit for 5 minutes !!!
no time for a badaaaaaaaaaaassssssss song
definitely no time

then "back to daddy-dadah loves grandma"

so that's the new deal, the new fascist subtle deal
5 minutes of fun for 1h55 of reprimand

sorry, no time for that
not in my mind
don't have enough time
to love
& to hate
people like they deserve
no time for your entertainment
that entertains guilt and shame
and encourages family, law and honor

no time
no time
no time
no time

i'll sleep when i'll get home
i'll sleep when i die

i love you so much

Writing lyrics is the bravest thing you can do
It doesn't take a good rhyme, a good beat, a relationship
Or any twisted selfgrieving grief
A good song isn't worth anything
Without it fitting in history, in any sort of scheme
A good song isn't worth anything

I'll give you a hundred songs
'bout god and my girl and all that
If it doesn't reconcile the living and the dead
If it doesn't linger in the wind
Like the stillness 'fore the hurricane
Like an army
Recruited in orphanages
A good song ain't worth shit
A good song ain't worth shit
A good song ain't worth shit
Sing it
Dance it
Scream it
then
Puff it
And toss it
And carry it
And hum it on your hind legs
Find a bone with enough meat on it

Go tell the women that we're leaving

You can get Brotherly Loved
as well as Field Work (good stuff, with the mighty Adam Cotton) for five bucks

& a wet kiss on the mouth,
at
The Ground Zero (indie) Store, 12 rue de Crussol, Paris 75011

when about to say something true
man suddenly has an extraordinary feminine laughter
high and blond like a forest
the feeling of my solitude
gets lost in the idea of my being
like a man who'd speak loud for himself
i laughed
and thought in the glimpse of it
i'd reach a light that sparkled just for me

Have you seen how many people's profiles are erased from myspace
and you tube. It happened with one my mine videos recently and someone
just erased it without letting me know why.
I guess it will happen more and more often on those growing, famous
websites.

It probably won't happen to you and your friends but don't worry, if it
does, just close your eyes...

On december 3rd 2006. Augusto Pinochet received extreme unction in a military
hospital in Santiago. After 17 years of abductions, executions & tortures.
There's no justice on this earth, at least not with the catholics.


i hope you die in unbearable pain
