Black Metal for the Elderly

So me and my friend – blood-brother and fellow follower in my despair – payed 666Dkr. for a ticket to a Danish metal festival. We had tried to get the ticket for our soul, but they meant that it was long lost. We went to the youth house in Fredericia. We didn’t know what to expect. We aren’t teens any more. But we didn’t expect, that most of the audience was above 40 and some over 60. But what a great party! Lots of beer, just beer – not like drugs you take to techno parties which makes a fucked up atmosphere – this was the most evil darkest of underground metal. Great atmosphere, lots of strange people – who you definitely, don’t see any where normal place. There had come people from all over the world to this place on the border between world and the cold North. Lots of girls, who looked like that half of the party has screwed them and they waited to the other half should screw them. I met two +70 guys, with Mayhem “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” t-shirts and Taake cowboy west. Beautiful to see someone with one food in the grave still hold on to the nihilistic world views. As Voltaire said on his deathbed in response to a priest asking him that he renounce Satan: “Now, now my good man, this is no time to be making enemies.”

Come join us next year – we got cookies (and cheap beers). metal-magic.dk

The Illusion of the free Will

I don’t believe in the free will. Well I know we have a feeling about a free will, but that’s just an illusion probably to satisfy reasoning living from being suicidal. Think about what actually is there in your life, that you are the full master of? Think. You didn’t decide who your parents was, where they was. You didn’t decide to fall and break your arm. You didn’t decide that you in college should fall in talk with this lovely young girl, who you later got married with and children. You didn’t decide that she packed her think, and asked for a divorce because she has met a more exciting man, who wants to realise her inner dream of travel to Cambodia. You didn’t decide that you just should walk down on the corner for some milk, and you make a wrong step and ends at the hospital. You doesn’t even decide that you drink milk in the morning. It’s part of our culture. You could decide to drink goatmilk, but again where did you get that idea from? No the fate and our destiny are already written. To be more extreme, we are barely beings. We are just a small amount of energy of the complete sum of energy in the universe. When we past away, our energy is reused in completely different matters – like metal or threes. Some scientist says that the universe is a melody, and if there’s gods they are the orchestra playing the tunes.

It is best for man to be middle-wise,

Not over cunning and clever:

No man is able to know his future,

So let him sleep in peace.

Ligegyldige visioner for de olympiske lege

Der er noget smukt over moderne sportsbegivenheder, hvis man kan se bort fra den klistrede kommercialitet, de er svøbt ind i dag. Jeg interesserer mig faktisk ikke synderligt for sport. Men syntes symbolikken om fredelige dyster mellem nationer frem for krig. Ligesom, jeg også elsker verdensudstillingerne – Expo.

Men især syntes jeg tanken bag de olympiske lege er utrolig smuk. Hele symbolikken i konceptet er fantastisk (og dejlig hedensk ;). Men igen er der gået kommercialisering af værste skuffe i den. Især syntes jeg, at det er utroligt synd, at byer kappes om at bruge milliard beløb på at få legene til netop deres by og på enorme anlæg, der står øde hen efterfølgende. Der fik jeg en vision. Nok temmelig ligegyldig læsning, da der nok næppe nogle med magt, der læser denne blog, og endnu mindre tænker. Det er sgi rigtig det der.

I stedet for at byerne/landende skiftes til at holde OL, skulle det kun holdes i Grækenland ved det gamle Olympia. Her skulle et stort landområde foræres til FN, hvor den Olympiske Komitee opbyggede et anlæg, der skulle bruges lege efter lege. De enkelte bygninger bygges af de enkelte lande, som byder ind på nye anlæg med arkitektur og design. De skal også vedligeholde og drive bygningen i fremtiden. En verdensby, hvor alle lande kunne repræsenteres uanset størrelse eller pengepung. Man kunne også forestiller sig regioner eller organisationer (som EU eller Skandinavien) bød ind. I de moderne olympiske leges tider var der også andre konkurrencer end sport. Konkurrencer i kunst er efter min mening ret meningsløs, men man kunne sagtens forestille sig kunstarrangementer og lignende i forbindelse med legene. Udover åbnings- og lukningsceremonien kunne man også forestille sig andre shows fra lande og verdensdele. Man kunne også forestille sig mindesmærker/altre for verdensfred og faldende i alle krige, som kunne danne ramme om mindehøjtideligheder. Syntes det kunne være fantastisk med en hel verdensby drevet i samarbejde mellem to store internationalt samlende organisationer FN og den olympiske komité.

Hvem søren er hun?!

Jeg ved ikke, hvor mange gange, at jeg har set Nirvanas “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, men i går fik jeg øje på hende her blandt publikumet på bænkene. Er det bare mig, eller passer hun bare ikke ind? Jeg har søgt på nettet, men kan ikke finde noget info om hende.
