Cars come broken, Cars go

Perskaičiau vieną įdomiausių interviu per ... jau kuris laikas, tiesą sakant, neatradau kažko tokio savito bei aiškiai išreikšto. 

Kažkam - aktualu, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, išleido naują muziką pirmąkart po dešimties metų pertraukos, kartu susiėjus prieš kelis metus, kai jų buvo paprašyta kuruoti ATP festivalį. Naujai gimusi muzika persikėlė į įrašą, nes "tai yra tai, ką grupės daro".

Anksčiau jie naktis praleido atsargiai, detaliai, skrūpulingai dėliojant mintis į juostą, kurioje buvo siekiama nušviesti tamsą sunkiu, ir kartu nušviečiančiu garsu su, deja, tokia pačia pasmerkta lemtimi nugrimzti ton pačion tamson. Absurdas, kurį švenčiame. Šįkart juostai leido laisvai suktis. Bet garsas kažkurioje vietoje buvo vis tik nutrūkęs ... todėl dalinuosi keliomis ištraukomis iš turiningų atsakymų į bereikšmius klausimus. 

"What's political music? All music is political, right? You either make music that pleases the king and his court, or you make music for the serfs outside the walls. It's what music (and culture) is for, right? To distract or confront, or both at the same time? So many of us know already that shit is fucked" 

"Our cities are broke, they lay patches on top of patches of concrete, our forests cut down and sold to make newspapers just to tell us about traffic that we get stuck in. You get a parking ticket and you waste a day in line. Cop shoots kid, kid shoots kid, homeless man dies waiting to see a doctor, old men lay in hospital beds while a broken bureaucracy steals away what's left of their dignity. Folks flee to our shores, running from the messes we've made in their countries, and we treat them like thieves. Mostly it feels like whatever you love is just going to get torn away."

"You have victories that feel enormous, but mostly nobody notices but the kids in the front row. You worry over it, until after a while you start feeling like the annoying friend who can't stop complaining about their ex. It gets so you don't want to think about that Babylon system no more. So we stopped. And then we started again"

"But now we all live in harder times, now a whole lot of bands react to the current heaviness by privileging the party times, like some weird Scientology will-to-power bullshit, hit that hi-hat with a square's fist until we all make it to heaven, until Sunday morning's bringdown. Self-conscious good vibes like love-handles poking through some 22-year-old's American Apparel T-shirt at some joint where you can only dance once you pay a $10 cover charge just to listen to some internet king's iPod."
