Read week 10 & 11

Janis Joplin/Summertime
Live in Stockholm in 1969!

What I’ve read! This year I’m ahead on my new years’ promise! Maybe I can make it to 2 books/week:

15. Från Pax Romana till Pax Americana – Björn Hettne
++++
This book was clear and nice and just basically good to read if you want to understand the world systems better. I don’t have that much more to say about it, it’s always a bit hard to write about school litterature. I had much use of it anyway.

16. Papalagi, den vite mannen – Erich Scheurmann
+++
This book was published in the 1920s and made up to be speaches by a samoan chief to his people, about why they should not be seduced by western life style and such… I thought it was an interesting book because of the perspectives of both the writer in the preface of the book and his fictional chief aswell so I liked it even though it would have been way more interesting had it been real.

I am now reading the Tin Drum by Günter Grass, still.. it’s taking me a while because I keep taking breaks from it, but I love it, and also Scars of Sweet Paradise, the life and times of Janis Joplin by Alice Echols which has already made me appreciate Janis’s music way more than I did before. I don’t usually read biographies, but Suss does and has inspired me!

I Put a Spell on You (again)

Was going to do this yesterday but didn’t have time before Frej seized the computer! My favourite versions! (Shane McGowan one is going to be second on the list after the original now…!) It is so good! It seems you can only buy it in the UK & Eire?? So you should if you’re there! I will instead then watch the video over and over. EDIT: found you can buy it here. But here are the other ones I love.

Screaming Jay Hawkins

Marilyn Manson

First version I heard of course, being a total little mansonite.
And someone’s made a really gorgeous video for it aswell!

Nina Simone

Joe Cocker

The Birthday Party

(not really a favourite.… but it’s Nick so I have to put it on my list anyhow!!!)

MY IQ

when i was four years old
they tried to test my i.q.
they showed me a picture
of 3 oranges and a pear
they said,
which one is different?
it does not belong
they taught me different is wrong
but when i was 13 years old
i woke up one morning
thighs covered in blood
like a war
like a warning
that i live in a breakable takeable body
an ever increasingly valuable body
that a woman had come in the night to replace me
deface me
see,
my body is borrowed
yeah, i got it on loan
for the time in between my mom and some maggots
i don't need anyone to hold me
i can hold my own
i got highways for stretchmarks
see where i've grown
i sing sometimes
like my life is at stake
'cause you're only as loud
as the noises you make
i'm learning to laugh as hard
as i can listen
'cause silence
is violence
in women and poor people
if more people were screaming then i could relax
but a good brain ain't diddley
if you don't have the facts
we live in a breakable takeable world
an ever available possible world
and we can make music
like we can make do
genius is in a back beat
backseat to nothing if you're dancing
especially something stupid
like i.q.
for every lie i unlearn
i learn something new
i sing sometimes for the war that i fight
'cause every tool is a weapon -
if you hold it right

NickCave

Major love for Nick Cave (as always). Here he is in swedish show Kobra, talking about the Death of Bunny Munro which was inspired by SCUM-manifesto by Valerie Solanas. <3 :) :) Haven’t been able to read it yet but I surely will. The interview starts about 15 minutes into the clip and is in english. My sweet friend Carl texted me just to tell me Nick was on tv.
