IV. Virtual vs Real

In a previous post I asked myself about the interaction of the virtual and "real" life of each individual.
In this one I play on a graver register - the virtual world menaces to take over the real one, in order to maintain people in a perpetual state of allertness and fear, without time to think by themselves and for themselves...

I find no better way to translate this than by posting a video of Toulouse based electro-punks Punish Yourself, in a not so subtle metaphore on how the media manipulates our collective minds...

You don't like the music? Fine by me, I do have peculiar musical tastes. But listen to the message in it, research, draw your own conclusions, think for yourself.

Don't let their virtuality become your reality.

C you around

Music

If this blog thing works out, we're bound to see a lot of posts concerning this subject, as it is one of my main pleasures in life...

...and today I achieved an extraordinary feat : to discuss, on the same facebook post, about Sopor Aeternus and Eisenfunk...

I suppose I won't be able to do something like this again in a near future - these are not polar oposites, they are just absolutely un-related.

This capacity to find similar points in such disparate subjects is something I value a lot.

I'm not a physicist, I know nothing about the chaos theory, but the image of the flutter of the wings of a butterfly in Brazil provoking a major hurricane in China makes perfect sense for me - everything is connected, related in a way or another.

Sooooo.... if in my music posts you jump from folk music to extreme metal with a little stop at the disco for a quick danse or two, don't be surprised :)

And if you unexistant reader can do the same for me and point me to new stuff - be it music, literature, art or cinema - do not hesitate to!!!
