yesterday, TMYLM spent lots of time being outraged, shocked, and variously consumed by dreams of cannibalism.  as letters to aig provoke strong reactions across the aisle, we got to thinking about the holiday of passover thats a-coming up for us jews.  if we can argue that pesach represented a perfect embodied example of proletarian revolution: the leaving in the dust, literally, of the accumulated capital of the egyptian empire and rising up in a strike to cross the river where labor was not converted to surplus value (hence the unleavened bread), we may offer in rejoinder: where’s our embodied revolt?  the perfect thing about pesach was its insistence on the non-ethnic divide of the egyptians and hebrews (remember that moses was, early 90s multiculti speaking, an egpytian although by blood a hebrew!) but rather class divide - class that could only be experienced through slave labor.  in every other biblical story, it’s an ethnic problem that causes bloodlust and suffering. in todays america the raped, however, the sitch is quite different, but bodies and slaves are no minor players in the creation and growth of the credit market.  We must reconsume the credit markets, for their speculation consumes us all.

Upstairs: Patti Smith singing “You Light Up My Life” on the perfectly named show, “Kids are People Too.”   Love the riff on punk not being a commodity. Hee.

Yes, it’s intrepid friend Andy Blumpkin’s birthday, but differently-named and unarguably much more tasteful Uproot Andy has put out a effing bangin new mix titled Guacharaca Migration.  You should go to his myspace to download the whole thing, but here are sum tasters:

SO… its really is becoming desperate out there. While the country burns, Obama fiddles with the knobs on his well-tuned neoliberal joke machine.  All is revealed for what it is, the cannibals roaming around - don’t they know they need to come home?  It may be raining, but there’s a rainbow above you.

Was making lamb kebabs the other night and did a random search for greek music to have on in the background–and I came across this INCREDIBLE song, which is greek, and maybe made in the 60s* , but sounds like just about the coolest new music we’ve never heard.

Lissen’ good:

Kyriarxoi Tou Sympantos (Greek Prog Rock)

*(seriously doubting this, it sounds so awesome)

Its a far cry from our normal blog posting schedule, but this ultrapoppy song just begs to be heard.

K’naan - Waving Flag [alternate]

Yo yo yo yo how is everyone enjoying this weather?  We don’t really have much to say that isn’t covered much better elsewhere - deaths, economic and otherwise, shattering crises that somehow perpetuate capitalism’s magic through thinkers, and of course springtime is on its way.  We really don’t have much to offer to repair these movings on, but we do have reparations for them… Enjoy and move around:

Luis Vargas - Tranquila

DJ Dollar - Affaire de Wolosso
