Should the Nazis succeed

The poster was initially produced in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, and was intended as a "last case scenario" to be used only should the Nazis succeed in invading Great Britain, in order to stiffen resolve.

Lembro-me de uma entrevista de rua após as explosões no metro de Londres em 2005, com um velhote que dizia ao jornalista algo do género: "Eu sobrevivi, continuando com a minha vida, aos bombardeamentos de Londres durante a 2ª Grande Guerra. Depois disso, estes terroristas não podem nada contra nós".

Keep calm and carry on.

Intervalo

De facto, é mais ou menos isto.
Vou dormir.

Sea Lion Woman

"Sea Lion Woman", aqui pela Feist de The Reminder (Arts & Crafts, 2006).

Sea lion woman
Dressed in red
Smile at the man
When you wake up in his bed

É uma canção sobre uma mulher que também é foca e se veste de vermelho.
Há um tipo a vibrar na primeira fila com uma tshirt dos Bloc Party (1:00).

The previous encapsulates my view.

Man On The Moon

R.E.M., Automatic for the People (Warner Bros., 1992).

Asserting that in the face of the tough truths 'Automatic for the People' explores, hope is, more than ever, essential.

Ball and Biscuit

The White Stripes, Elephant (V2, 2003).

The third man argument (commonly referred to as TMA), first offered by Plato in his dialogue Parmenides, is a philosophical criticism of Plato's own theory of Forms. The argument posits that if a man is a man because he partakes in the form of man, then a third form would be required to explain how man and the form of man are both man.

Como dá para entender, os guitarristas de Detroit são muito mais eficazes do que os filósofos gregos a explicar os mistérios da vida.

Pigeon hole

You can't do this, can't do that, because you're in some pigeon hole, and my dream is to have none of that matter.

To have none of that matter.

In fact nothing

Yet sometimes you are breathtaking,
Kidding around!
To be rid of the troubles
Of one person by turning into
Someone else, moving and jolting
As if nothing mattered but today
In fact nothing
But this precise moment—five thirty-one a.m.
Celery growing on the plains
Snow swirls in the mountains.

To Kidding Around, Kenneth Koch

A leucemia linfóide de células B consitui a leucemia linfóide mais comum; quando o processo maligno se manifesta na forma de linfoma, é responsável por cerca de 7% dos linfomas não-Hodgkin.

Precisava de me lembrar disto, por isso procurei um poema. Agora não me esqueço.

Antenna

Sonic Youth, The Eternal (Matador, 2009).

every corner creeping panic
freak lighting in her abstract mind
rubber stamps and dreams of cashflow
wild blood ecstatic crime
radios play nothing when she's far away

Every corner creeping panic, diz o Thurston.

Doesn't make sense

David Lynch e Isabella Rossellini, talvez no set de Blue Velvet, mas eles foram namorados, por isso pode ser em qualquer lugar.

I don’t think that people accept the fact that life doesn’t make sense. I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable.

via (o sempre deslumbrante) but does it float

Olha, olha

Originator

6. It has gradually become clear to me what every great philosophy up till now has consisted of, namely, the confession of its originator, and a species of involuntary and unconscious autobiography; and moreover that the moral (or immoral) purpose of every philosophy has constituted the true vital germ our of which the entire plant has always grown.
