No other choice than to Tango with you or over you #6

If your Eros is credit-crunched and your Thanatos is in viagra-shape, do not hesitate to Tango on this persisting Madoff-mood like Juan Carlos Caceres invited us to do yesterday. In his Concert in Molière Theater in Brussels with its Tango Negro Trio, he played repeatedly and on purpose La Retirada, una milonga which usually concludes the end of the Buenos Aires' carnaval, 'la murga' ("La vida es una milonga" is a popular say in Argentina).

"No es la verdad que 'la vida es un tango'. Qué cliché. Es el contrario: el tango es una vida de tres minutos que no se necessita spectadores" (Astor Borgès).

No other choice than to Tango with you or over you #5


Bert Gordon: "I don't think there's a pool player alive shoots better pool than I saw you shoot the other night at Ames. You got talent."
Fast Eddie: "So I got talent. So what beat me?"
Bert Gordon: "Character".

Fast Eddie falls into Tango with Eros to find out redemption and, why not, a bit of character.

The Hustler, directed by Robert Rossen (1961). Click on Eros for details.

2008 / ..., Credit Crunch got me, #20


In a Madoff-mood since your pay-day activity has been declared redundant by your credit-crunched boss? Do not worry as officially recession will become vague and GDP will take you in board of its forthcoming reform. In the meantime, The auteurs.com puts Turkish spices in your Dry Summer and might even cure your L.A. fatigue : http://www.theauteurs.com/films/1328
It is not of disinterested nature but it is for (uncrunched) free.

Style is what remains once chaos put you down #3 (Henry Chinaski)

Henri Chinaski - August 16, 1920 in Andernach, Germany / March 9, 1994 in L.A., USA.



FOOTNOTE UPON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MASSES:

some people are young and nothing
else and
some people are old and nothing
else
and some people are in between and
just in between.

and if the flies wore clothes on their
backs
and all the buildings burned in
golden fire,,
if heaven shook like a belly
dancer
and all the atom bombs began to
cry,
some people would be young and nothing
else and
some people old and nothing
else,
and the rest would be the same
the rest would be the same.

the few who are different
are eliminated quickly enough
by the police, by their mothers, their
brothers, others; by
themselves.

all that's left is what you
see.

it's
hard.

(from The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over The Hills, 1992)

Please, Sin #16


Please sin as you are in Brussels where smooth incoherence is a viaticum of town's life and where lust lighted by a peep-show is granted protection by an old angel on the top of the building. Such is Brussels. Click on the clouds to receive blessing.

2008 / ..., Credit Crunch got me #19


In a Madoff-mood? Believe it or not, it is a tough time in the Amesterdam's Red Light district as well where joy is credit-crunched & streets happen to be sometimes empty by night, where the price has fallen from fifty to thirty euros (the renting of the room a professional red-woman must pay is about one hundreed & fifty euros per day...) & the red-mood among venal-workers fallen even lower. Let us play music.
