Words*of the day (28-03-2010)

"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher [*meat is murder*], the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages."

Adam Smith [uk/scotland 1733-1790] - Wealth of Nations (1789)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Smith



"Nicht vom Wohlwollen des Metzgers [*meat is murder*], Brauers und Bäckers erwarten wir das, was wir zum Essen brauchen, sondern davon, daß sie ihre eigenen Interessen wahrnehmen. Wir wenden uns nicht an ihre Menschen- sondern an ihre Eigenliebe, und wir erwähnen nicht die eigenen Bedürfnisse, sondern sprechen von ihrem Vorteil."

Adam Smith [uk/scotland 1733-1790] - Der Wohlstand der Nationen (1789)

Xeno & Oaklander [usa] - 'Rendez-Vous d'Or' (2009/2010)
http://www.myspace.com/xenoandoaklander
http://xenoandoaklander.com/

*Xeno and Oaklander is a minimal wave/synth duo from Brooklyn, New York. Members Sean McBride (Martial Canterel) from Maryland/usa and french/norwegian visual artist/filmmaker/fashion photographer Liz Wendelbo have a strict set of rules for their music — exclusively analogue synthesizers (no soft-synths, no midi and no digital, a bold move in this day and age of click and drag producers and DJs that have never touched a turntable in their lives), and one take recordings played as live as possible.
 
*The track is taken from their Album´Sentinelle´, released at the end of 2009 on Wierd Records. The album is a deep and richly layered album, with lyrics from both Liz and Sean, paranoia and disaffection, tales of underwater cities, the industrial revolution and a world of shadow combined and seamlessly changing from English to French, sometimes in the same song. The music itself ranges from slow synth pop style tracks to tense high-BPM synth-punk and from deep and romantic to at times aggressive.

Inhalt:
Die Prechts sind eine Solinger Familie, die nach den Idealen der 68er lebten. Damals wuchs der junge Richard auf und erinnert sich heute an die westdeutsche Provinz, Kommunismus und Kapitalismus, Atomkriegsgefahr und Vietnam. Er hat nicht nur zwei leibliche Geschwister, sondern auch zwei vietnamesische - seine Familie gehörte zu den ersten Deutschen, die Kriegswaisen aus Vietnam adoptierten. Für alle Kinder galt eine streng idealistische Erziehung.

(Selbst)ironische Rekapitulation jüngster deutscher Geschichte aus privatem Blickwinkel. Nach Richard David Prechts autobiografischem Buch zeichnet Dokumentarfilmregisseur Andre Schäfer eine Kindheit der 68er-Generation auf unterhaltsame und erhellende Art nach.
