In their beds, in their kitchens, in their attics, in their basements

Esto es lo que estoy escuchando (y bailando) en este momento:



La versión SpeechMix que Ethan Stoller hizo para V for Vendetta sólo puede ser escuchada en los créditos finales de la película... aunque la tengo también en mis favoritos de Youtube como fondo de un video que para mí es absolutamente non-sensical (lo único que me importaba era la música).
Uno de los pasajes más significativos es esta cita tomada de un discurso de Malcom X, que da título al tema: BKAB (Bed, Kitchen, Attic, Basement)

Whites can help us, but they can't join us. There can be no black-white unity until there is first some black unity. We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves. Concerning nonviolence: it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks. There are problems in the community. Some of the examples of those problems are the vices that destroy the moral fibre in our community. Drunkenness, drug addiction, prostitution, organised crime. They rob the Negro community of probably 90% of its economic potential and moral potential. One of my reasons for going out on a limb as I have is to try and make white people be shocked, awake to some of their senses, because if they don't awake, they're going to find out that this little Negro that they thought was passive has become a roaring, uncontrollable lion, right in, right at their doorstep - not at their doorstep; inside their house, in their bed, in their kitchen, in their attic, in their basement. And if you know that in time, you can do something about it."
El extracto del audio:


BlankCada vez que tengo que pensar exorcizando algo, recurro a este tema (entre otros). En mi extraño mundo interior, las incoherencias toman forma y sentido a través del baile de ritmos libres, sin coreografías, y cuando me quiero dar cuenta... mi mente está libre de nuevo.

Estoy teniendo un final de década extraño. Sin dudas.

Uf, menos mal.
Borré sin querer este comment anterior:

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
