the right anthem

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

自閉症啓発デー. ボストンRed Soxのホームスタジアムである Fenway Parkのゲームで、自閉症の青年がアメリカ国歌を歌う. 緊張からなのか、いたるところで歌詞を間違える.アメリカ政府がどうであれ、大勢の人がアメリカ文化に惹きつけられるのは、このような観衆の反応がこの国以外、他では絶対にあり得ないからだ.この一瞬は「Kodak moment」以上の現実味がある. 心が温まる.

An autist anthem singer at Fenway Park ball-game on autism awarenes day, nervous he interprets then anthemit very personally, which brings the crowd together with sympathy and join for support. You may say whatever you like America, but to have such a spontaneous reaction they must have something right. This reflects our(the world's) ideal of American democracy, U.S. government policies usually don't.

all the water in the world

左:地球上のすべての水、14億0870万立方キロメートルを集めて球状にしたもの.(海水、氷、湖、河川、地下水、雲、その他を含む).
右:地球を取り巻くすべての大気、5140兆トンを集めて球状にしたもの.

イメージよりも少ないと感じる人もいるでしょう.この数値の画像化がどのように編集されているのかが気になって、Dan Phifferノブログ(英語)にたどり着いた.Danは詳しく検証した結果、画像化されたものは正確であるという結論に達する.
教科書ではなくネット上でこのようなインパクトの強い情報を公開することに対して、これからどう付き合うべきなのか考えさせられる.誰かがその編集方針を決めて、または決めずに無数の解釈が共存し続けるのか.受け手としては、情報源にどのような形のintegrity、つまり統一性、首尾一貫(性)?を求めるのかが問題になると思う.

Left: All the water in the world (1.4087 billion cubic kilometres of it) including sea water, ice, lakes, rivers, ground water, clouds, etc.
Right: All the air in the atmosphere (5140 trillion tonnes of it) gathered into a ball at sea-level density. Shown on the same scale as the Earth.

At first sight the small air and water seemed rather small. I was curious to verify the rendition of this data.<a href="http://blog.phiffer.org/post/27344630/left-all-the-water-in-the-world-1-4087-billion">Dan Phiffer</a> did a good job of validating <a href="http://www.sciencephoto.com/q_nrDf6hB-8=mwhn797RKZQ/guest.html">Science Photo Library's work</a>; whether it be treehugger bias or the other. As opposed to a text book, how do we verify editorial integrity or for that matter even select editorial strategy one over the other in the web context? For the foreseeable future,a plethora of second guesses and interpretations is probably what we'll be served with. It's not good enough? How can we reach meaning if the research process is so fastidious.

crying men

男性俳優の泣いている姿を写して、悲しさの表現について思う.絶望の涙姿であって、悲しさではない.
looking at these actors crying pictures, There are crying men acting desperationwhich is somewhat more dignifying than
tears of sadness.

Howe Gelb米国アリゾナ州ツーソンが生んだデザート・ロッカー.Giant Sandを20年以上に渡って率いている創立メンバー.当時から多数あるアルタナティブ音楽のプロジェクトにも参加(Ow Om レーベルで参照できる).ハウ・ゲルブ、彼は砂漠のルー・リードとも言われている.初めて彼の音楽を聴いた時に、人と同じように音も塵と土から生まれて、土へと帰ると感じた.この音楽を彼はエロージョン・ロックと呼ぶ.つまり浸食されたロックである.

Arizona, Tucson-based singer-songwriter-guitarist-pianist Howe Gelb is co-founder of the rock band Giant Sand. He's the most resilient and consistently inventive American artists of alternative music. His music
masde me realise how a sound and music can be routed with the land and earth, like ourselves we would return to dust.He calls this erosion rock.

herman dune

herman duneはスエーデンとフランスの混血で構成されたアンチフォークバンド.曲を口ずさんだり、人を抱きしめたくなる音楽.Jonathan Richmanのような前向きな歌詞と優しいメロディは貴重である.夏が来るとこの甘さが欲しくなってくる.

needless to say that herman dune is the one and only  antifolk band in norther Europe, there's a lot of humming ang hugging involve in the process of the production. We need the gentlessness and Jonathan Richman inspired upbeat lyrics. Summer
makes you crave for this sweetness.

hello in there - john prine

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

We had an apartment in the city,
Me and Loretta liked living there.
Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown,
A life of their own left us alone.
John and Linda live in Omaha,
And Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war,
And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.

Chorus:
Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."

Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more,
She sits and stares through the back door screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
We worked together at the factory.
But what could I say if asks "What's new?"
"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."

Repeat Chorus:

So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello."
