and that matters

“Corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. And that matters, because we don't run this country for corporations, we run it for people."

--Elizabeth Warren

Atoms for Peace - Default / Lyrics (日本語訳付き)

it slipped my mind and for a time I felt completely free

avoided trouble sent a double a pawn into a queen

I laugh now but later it’s not so easy

I gotta stop the will is strong but the flesh is weak

guess that’s it I’ve made my bed and i lie in it

I’m still hanging on but upon the way I fall between the waves

I avoid your gaze I turn outta phase a pawn into a queen

I laugh now but later’s not so easy

I gotta stop the will is strong but the flesh is weak

guess that’s it I made my bed and I’m lying in it

but it’s eating me up

if i get free of all my snares and my fears

i think this song’s image is chess, and the video looks like a chess-board.  

Default (棄権、不履行、不戦敗)

精神は滑らされ しばらくは 解放された気がしてた

トラブルを避けて ダブルを打った ポーンはクイーンになるんだ

僕は笑うよ でもやっぱりそんなに簡単じゃないんだ

もうストップだ 意志は強くても肉体は弱い

もうだめみたいだ 自分でやったことだから仕方がない

まだがんばってはいるけど その途中で僕は波に呑まれてしまうんだ

視線(ゲイズ)を避けて ポーンをクイーンにするところ(フェイズ)

僕は笑うよ そんなに気楽なもんじゃない

もうストップだ 意志は強くても肉体は弱い

もうだめみたいだ 自業自得、身から出た錆ってやつだ

でも僕はやられてる

罠や恐怖、そのすべてから逃れることができたとしても

*ポーン、クイーン…いずれもチェスの駒。ポーン(歩兵)はもっとも弱い駒、クイーン(女王)はもっとも強い駒。ポーンは基本的に1つしか進めないが、初手のみ2つ進むことができる。(他に“ダブル”としてはダブル・ポーン、ダブル・ルーク、ダブル・チェックなどもある) また、自分のポーンを相手の陣地へ攻めさせ、クイーンの駒に変えることができる。

この曲のビデオはチェスの盤面をイメージしているようにも見える。

New DAS post by Thom - Atoms for Peace 
You may have heard that I have a new project called Atoms for Peace.

The name comes from some shows of The Eraser that happened a couple of years ago with Mauro, Joey, Nigel and Flea.

We got a big buzz from them and discovered loads of energy from transforming the music from electronic to live, and so afterwards, we carried on for a few days in the studio and decided to make it a loose, on-going thing.

Immersed in the area between the two…electronic and live.

The first tune we’d like you to hear is Default

A 12” vinyl version will follow next month and an album will eventually follow that next year.

Thom

:::::::::

Atoms for Peaceっていう僕の新しいプロジェクトのことは聞いてるよね。

その名前はここ2年くらいにMauro、Joey、NigelやFleaたちとThe Eraserの曲を演るショーで使ったものなんだ。

それによって僕らは大きな刺激を受けて、エレクトロニック音楽をライブで演るということに大いに活力を見出したんだ。それから数日スタジオで時間を費やして、公開することに決めたんだ、進行中のものとしてね。

2つの要素に浸った…エレクトロニックとライブ。

まず聴いてもらいたい曲はDefault

12インチのアナログ盤を来月に、それからアルバムも来年には届けられそうだ。

MoMA ps1

Has anyone heard anything about some kind of after party for the NYC Atoms for Peace Dj set. I read that they (I use that term loosely because who knows who is actually doing the Dj set) are in NY to finish the album, but I just find it hard to believe they'd come across the ocean to do an hour and fifteen minute Dj set.

Just A Thought For An Album

LIVING ALBUM CONCEPT FOR RADIOHEAD

ALBUM WOULD:
•have songs
•have to be an app or streamed with a set lifespan.
•final "audio biography" album would be released after death of stream showcasing definitive mixes of songs

SONGS COULD:
• • have stems that deteriorate/evolve over individual lifespan like a memory. (volume, speed, clarity)
• • sound slighty different everytime
• • be affected by time of day
• • be affected by listeners mood or location




RANDOM THOUGHTS  & INSPIRATION
john cage 4.33, jazz solos, mr. kite tape snippets, wishing you could experience first hearing of record over and over, finding a different way to experience music.

• • capturing the pleasant feeling of unexpectedly hearing a song on radio due to chance.  
   (lacking control or foreseeing future of playlist. Timing of song play and you listening to that station.)
• • capturing slight variatons of song during live performance.
-artists may change how they perform song
-the weather may have unintended affect  
-each individual experience would be different depending on multiple variables ( their location, what noises are created around them, how well they can hear certain sound coming from stage.)

Automatic writing

When my father was diagnosed with a cancer, all I could hear inside my head was "I'm not here, this is not happening". All

day long.
I'm not here. I wasn't there

I was buried under tons of fake smiles.
It felt like having a big hole inside your stomach, for months. There was someone broken and no one could fix him.
You could smile
truly
one millisecond after, you'd immediately think
'Ah. That.'

Fuck
Not that I've ever been his biggest fan.
When something like this occurs, you hear like a click inside the head, and you know that your life is not going to be the same as  before, until that person will die.
Sometimes I lie on the bed
and pretend I melt down
everything that I hate and that haunts my thoughts flows down the blankets
All the shit goes down to the sewers
Just me, it's all that remains.
All the surrounding junk into a pool of dense black mucus, away from me
I don't want the things that I say to make sense, I just want them to be pleasant enough to make them let me stay in peace
anyway
they wouldn't get to know me
do they care? I don't care
Can you keep on fighting someone that is suffering till death
I don't think so.
When I was younger, I sometimes liked things because others influenced me
Smile at me and please me with approval
God I did hate myself when I did that, so I changed
Disgusting faux smiles that smell of unwashed old bodies
Things you expect to go well, go wrong
things you expect to go like shit, go well
Destiny is methadone for atheists
Life is a playing-dead game
Saying that life is fair is like saying that the result of a rolling dice has a meaning.
Life is a playing-alive game
The scent of revolution
always dissipates like the steam of hot iron underwater
Spiral clouds with large black volutes, grey and low, fluctuating in a stifling sky
For, every morning that we wake up,
it's between the desperate cries of screaming moaners
'It can not last ...'

Word of the Day: compelling

How do I get to the front?

In a few weeks I'll go to a Radiohead concert. I really want to get up front, so I was asking myself.. ''How do I get there fast? Do I need to wait in line for 12 hours (I'm up for that :p) etc.''
If you have any experience or tips, please reply!

The National - Lucky You

¡Vaya! Ya has usado esa canción para recordar a otra persona.
¿Hasta cuantas personas estara permitido por ley como máximo recordar con una canción?
Wis_H you a gL/orious day

 

The National - Lucky You

 

Cada vez que tomas un trago
y cada vez que te vas a despertar
¿Están estos sueños dentro de tu cabeza?
¿Hay luz solar sobre tu cama?
Y cada vez que estas dirigiéndote a casa
Fuera de tu zona de comfort
Donde quiera que vayas a estar
No podrás liberarte de mí

Te pertenezco
No hay nada que puedas hacer
Te pertenezco

Podrías hacer una apuesta más segura
Pero lo que quiebras es lo que obtienes
Despiertas en la cama que tu haces
Pienso que cometiste un gran error

Te pertenezco
No hay nada que puedas hacer
Te pertenezco
Te pertenezco
Suertuda

Te pertenezco
No hay nada que puedas hacer

Te limpias para encontrarte
Con el hombre que no soy yo
Te estás poniendo una playera
Una playera que nunca veré
La carta está en tu abrigo
Pero nadie está en tu cabeza
Porque eres muy lista como para recordar
Eres muy lista
Suertuda
