'an elegy for the arctic'


Ludovico Einaudi ... performed one of his own compositions on a floating platform in the middle of the Ocean, against the backdrop of the Wahlenbergbreen glacier (in Svalbard, Norway).
Greenpeace organised the performance to call attention to the fragility of the Arctic, in hopes of influencing OSPAR, an international consortium tasked with protecting the Northeast Atlantic ocean.

Discovered thanks to Vox, via evencleveland, where David Roberts' called it 'an elegy for everything.'

kill your idols



Kill your idols and your fables
Take your weapons off the table
It's only mercy now that you need in your world

Lay your burdens on my shoulders
For a while until it's over
I'm gonna love you like we're all each other have

having a little break whilst i go and get married (!!)
normal posting service will resume in a couple of weeks.
in the mean time check out this piece of beauty from Benjamin Clementine. 
right near the top of this performance he sings, "Where I'm from, you see the rain / Before the rain even starts to rain." At that point, when I'm already hanging on every word, I feel like I'm witnessing an almost otherworldly presence — a visitor with wisdom to impart.
