greetings

Today I had a dream, just like the king, but my dream was different. I had a dream that I finally belonged. That people around me were glad I was there. My friend came over yesterday to hang out, and it was fun. But I have to say goodbye to Mary Jane. Maybe someday our paths will cross, but for now, adieu. I have enjoyed the clarity you have brought, and the creativity. Giving me the ability to see, but the cost of that sight is not worth the price. Forgetting again and again isn't normal. How can this be the hardest part of changing. Seems ridiculous to be weak about something as simple as that.

U2 Through The Eyes Of A Youngster

December 17, 2010

asked by mostperfectday (via tumblr)

I'v noticed over the last few years that a lot of young people have thisfascination with U2. I grew up a teenager in the 80's and I have been
listening to U2 ever since, seeing their shows, avidly. I would really
like for you to tell me the reasons behind your admiration for the band
as a young individual. I think this is very interesting. Thanks, Chris

Well, first of all, let me tell you that I’m kinda “old school” when it comes to music. I love
artists like Beatles, Pink Floyd, Stones, Queen, David Bowie, B. B.
King, Sting… Those are the type of bands that represent music to me,
besides U2.

It’s a little bit difficult for me to put into words what U2 mean in my life, but I’ll try.

Let me start from the beginning… I was introduced to the band by my father and my brother,
when I was 8! I’m Portuguese, so I didn’t really understand the meaning
of any song. Only U2 made me try to translate the lyrics and that was
when I really fell in love with them.

I think Bono is a poet! Every single word he writes touches me in places I can’t explain. Every
single thought he has make me see the world in a whole new perspective.

I love them both as a band and as individuals. Their songs always make me feel in another
world, maybe in my own world. I can listen to them all day, in any
moment, in any mood. They’re the only band that makes me smile, cry,
laugh, jump, scream… All at once!

I love their kindness and the fact that they actually help others, using theirs fame and
success. They should be a role model for everyone!

I had been lucky enough to see them live and it’s just perfect!! I really don’t have enough
words to tell you what I felt that night! But it sure changed my life
and I’m serious about this. The way they communicate with thousands but,
at the same time, the way they make us feel like they’re on stage only
for you, like you were THE fan!

I’m not gonna talk about their brilliant minds when it comes to innovation and
musical/concert ideas. I think the ZooTv Tour, the PopMart Tour and the
360º Tour (mostly) speak for themselves!

As you can see, I don’t really know why I do love them so much, but who can actually not love
them? I think only U2 fans know exactly what they mean to us. It’s
really more than words can tell … I see them not only as a band, but as a
lifestyle!

Well, I think I’ll stop here… Sorry, I know this is a lot to read :s and sorry for my English too, I’m not that good in it… xx

Frozen scotch mist outside the building.

I'm sitting near this thin, magic, invisible wall that divides infinite space into huge amount of frozen scotch mist and a tiny block of a few cubic meters of lively molecules dancing to heater's ecstatic bassline that could sound like this from Myxomatosis for a half-deaf person who I am.

Fuck yeah, I still have 20 unpacked chocolates, 43 gingerbreads and lots, lots of liters of chocolate in solid state.

Christmas Messages from the FAC Board Chairs

As 2010 draws to a close, the 3 newly appointed Co-chairs of the FAC put together a few personal words about what they’ve been up to, and what’s coming in 2011…

Ed O’Brien (Radiohead)

Ed O'brien“Happy Christmas good people of the FAC and beyond…

I spent most of the last year in the studio working on our new album… I’m unable to deal with anything else when we’re recording… it’s all consuming and I can’t keep those plates spinning…

Despite this, had a brilliant couple of days with music students at Dartmouth and Falmouth… I’ve always been sceptical of schools/colleges that offer ‘popular’ music courses, but I’m happy to say it was more like art college. There are some great young musicians there making bold, innovative and exciting music, and some cool tutors/lecturers encouraging and challenging them. I learn as much from them, as they do from me… In fact I’m not sure what they learn from me, but I had a great time!

More of this in 2011 – have a great year and good luck to each and every one of you…

Ed”

Ed O’Brien (Radiohead). FAC Board Director and Co-Chair.

Nick Mason (Pink Floyd)

Nick Mason“Originally I thought the FAC would involve me in a little light emailing and the occasional meeting…in fact it’s a torrent of emails and ideas, lots of meetings, talking and discussions, and apart from feeling like a really useful organisation, I should really admit it’s fun.

It’s fun because after forty odd years waving my arms in time with the music its an opportunity to share experiences with musicians from different genres and generations and hopefully actually put this to good use. As well as that there’s the chance to compare notes on all the weird and wonderful crew, engineers fans, record execs, managers, agents, and ‘colleagues’ that have decorated (or graffitied) our lives…..

I’m increasingly conscious of how talented and technically advanced so many young musicians are, and just how difficult it is to find a way in the 21st Century, with all its hi-tech developments and opportunities, to actually make a living in the music business. It would seem churlish not to try and find ways of helping as many of these people as possible. If we can’t help I’m not sure who can or will.

At the same time there are issues facing many older artists. Catalogues unavailable and copyrights running out just as the Freedom Pass comes through the door (yes, I’ve got mine!).

2010 has been extraordinary really. So many doors have been revealed that we haven’t even had time to open them all or explore beyond. We’ve generally had remarkable support and enthusiasm, not only from or members but also PPL & Fran Nevrkla in particular, along with the MMF. We’ve started to work alongside the Musicians’ Union, which particularly pleases me, since I’ve been a member since Humphrey Lyttelton insisted we should join when we supported them at a Cambridge May ball in 1966.

There’s lots more to say but this is probably going out as a tweet anyway, in which case I’ll distil it into 140 characters:

FAC=Torrent of meetings+organisation.Fun.C21 artists tech-clever,yet
need help.Oldies-Catalogues,copyrights.2010 doors opened.Thanks to PPL

And that’s what’s wrong with Twitter…..

Happy Christmas

Love

Nick”

Maybe I'm paranoid...

We are faceless. You cannot attack us. The memories.
While the life goes in circle, they're always in the centre. Always look straigh to face. Never merciful. Always shameless. Feed with their reflections in our pupils.
They live in a symbiosis with our minds. They go backward with every our step forward, but they never turn back. They don't have faces. They're like non-existing screens. When they hurt you, you'll try to hurt them. Oh yes, you're not worth them. They carry inside the secret parts of you to show them on a stage at the most unexpected moment. You try to destroy them using the worst blade you have. But you're not able to broke those strange screens. Trying to destroy the memories, you're destroying yourself.


Anyway... The lights of christmas trees. Shame on me!

UPDATE January 2012 - a year after the release and 2 years after the earthquake:
as per Oxfam, our DVD has raised $23,690 in a total of 1236 gifts.... from 42 countries!! Those of you who donated your footage and those of you who contributed to raising money for Haiti - THANK YOU!!!!!!
------------------
Hi all!!
SO
But remember - it was a SPECIAL show with a SPECIAL purpose – to raise badly needed funds for those who lived through the devastation. And it seemed only appropriate that the DVD should carry on some of these goals. So on the behalf of our little team of three, I contacted the band/management to tell them about our project and asked to name a charity of their choice - so that those downloading the DVD could donate some money to it – however much they can (‘cause we trust Radiohead’s choices don’t we?). We were thrilled to hear that Radiohead supported our efforts :-) and named Haiti to be the ‘beneficiary’ of such donations. They also chose Oxfam – who originally helped to organize the show – as the organization that would handle it. So I asked Oxfam if they could create a DEDICATED LINK for us, Radiohead fans, so in the end, we would be able to know how much we have raised and let the band know too!.... I am ecstatic to tell you that it all happened!
Here we are –

Finally, Kii Arens – the author of the original ‘bandaid’ poster for the show - stepped forward to create artwork for our DVD! You see it on top of the post but the real hi-rez file is included in
the DVD (so don’t rip this blog :)) – thanks, Kii!!
Andrea made a very different alternative art - check it out :-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/39226151@N00/5287497885/
Enormous thanks to RADIOHEAD for EVERYTHING, Chris Hufford (Chris, you’re awesome!) and Bob Ferguson at Oxfam America (I owe you multiple drinks!) for making it fall into place (uhm - did I just say this?)
In this project, we have 14 video tapers, 4 audio tapers (everyone is listed on all art and all info files), more audio mixing by hoserama and an astounding amount of editing work by formengr (love you, form!) – I feel like we are all thanking each other, and it feels great! So THANKS again!!

Here we go:

2xDVD with 4 alternate audio tracks:

also by popular demand - on an open tracker (make sure you copy-paste the entire link)
HD 1280x720 mp4 movie:
And on an open tracker (make sure you copy-paste the entire link)

additional audio by hoserama (as the other three sources were seeded previously!)

Actually, I don't know what I want to write.

It's indefinable.

Old seams of sentences are tearing apart. And, I'm not sure, but these parts look like meat loafs.


If you're not able to distinguish between stars in the window and illusion of it created by a computer screen, it's bad. And when music is generating galaxies itself, than you don't know what to think, maybe it's better to not to think at all.

These are separated from it's context not even small thoughts but tiny thoughts. The context was "A Midnight Clear" or what else my mind displayed that time.
But these thoughts haven't got it, so they have no sense. No sense for everyone, nobody. But I'm not everyone or nobody, I am myself, so they make sense to me. As much as laws of physics. Maybe more, sometimes.
And I think it's the only thing that really matters.

You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue?


I don't know what I want to say, actually.

All that I wanted to say has been created in a language of my thoughts that is impossible to translate into any other.
