uber kool: lescop la foret

 

Un coup de feu dans la nuit
Une douleur glaciale qui s’élance
La Foret soudain qui frémit
Puis s’installe le silence

Tu te tiens là assourdie
Tu prononces la sentence
Le deuxième coup est parti
Et fait bientôt la différence

Dans la Foret je te retrouve à l’heure opportune
Un rendez vous improvisé sous la lune
Sourires crispés, situation compliquée
Je sens ton souffle qui me frôle le coup
Un pistolet chargé me caresse la joue
Tu me dis “cette fois c’est moi qui joue”
Dans la foret la première détonation raisonne
Un coup de feu puis deux, mon corps qui frissonne
Puis doucement s’écroule

Plus rien, plus un bruit
Personne n’a rien vu par chance
Pour moi maintenant c’est fini
Et tout le monde s’en fout, tu penses!

Te voilà maintenant qui t’enfuis
Tirant ta révérence
La foret de nouveau frémit
Et je profite du silence

Dans la Foret je te retrouve à l’heure opportune
Un rendez vous improvisé sous la lune
Sourires crispés, situation compliquée
Je sens ton souffle qui me frôle le cou
Un pistolet chargé me caresse la joue
Tu me dis “cette fois c’est moi qui joue”
Dans la foret la première détonation raisonne
Un coup de feu puis deux, mon corps qui frissonne
Puis doucement s’écroule… by ars

emak bakia man ray

one place that remains true to its form in new york city is the anthology film archives.  i myself was there a few months ago at their “garage sale” and managed to pick up some essential literature.  this weekend they are featuring some classics from the twenties, including this masterpiece from man ray (with help from our friend marcel duchamp and sculptures by pablo picasso).  the original is silent, so turn your volume down and maybe you can understand why at its first screening in 1926 a brawl broke out.  nothing says fisticuffs like soft-focus and rayographs. by sv

aircraft carrier size astroid slips inside the moons orbit and misses planet earth: asteroid 2005 YU55

keep an eye on the sky this thursday night… “asteroid YU55 orbits in a trajectory that regularly brings it close to earth, venus and mars, as it cruises our solar system. but, according to NASA, an asteroid has not been this close to earth in at least 200 years. at its closest approach, which was expected around 6:28 p.m. eastern time/3:28 p.m. pacific, it will be no closer than 201,700 miles (as measured from the center of the earth). that’s about 85 percent of the distance between earth and the moon. if you miss it tomorrow night you can keep an eye for its return orbit in 2028. the calculations suggest that an impact is not possible this time round but, in theory, the earth’s gravity will perturb the asteroid’s path, possibly leading to an impact in 2039. astronomers stress that a collision is only one of a range of possibilities for this kilometer-wide chunk of rock. if it did strike, it would cause continent-wide devastation and alter the earth’s climate beyond anything george w. bush could have ever done”. by cm
