The End in Two Versions: Brittsommar´s The Machine Stops and The Idea of Productivity Has Transformed

"The Painter" is off the forthcoming Brittsommar album, The Machine Stops.

Brittsommar gives us the end in a perfect lucid Wagnerian fashion.

However the end is not the end of the machine; but the very end of the perspective to consider that humans are like machines. It´s about the End of The Western Mindset.

BBC´s Peter Day, gives the same message, in a different perspective,  in two sections of his World of Business show.

Day explains, what is usually hidden by the political élite; the very idea of productivity has changed. If the political class stick to facts - everything must change - the so called democracy and science must turn to the real stuff.

And by the way. The ongoing financial crisis began with to make up - for the missing productivity - that the current construction of our world needs to work.

Therefore what Day explains, so great, is extremely vital to grasp.

Where are we now? Just walking the dead - The fucking WALL is still there! - They say it is: Intellectual Emptiness

Bowie sings NOT, only, about Berlin. Bowie take us to ourselves where we are now: Just walking the dead.
The wall is still there, you know.

Where are we now, asks David Bowie in his new single. The Guardian's former Berlin correspondent helps him identify key Berlin landmarks in his video

In the next phase there will be more than 20.000 that will cross the bridge with their fingers crossed. Just in case.

The moment you know, you know.

If you want the same message with more words read this slowly:

Intellectual Emptiness: Paris Summit Proves Europe Needs New Thinkers

By Ullrich Fichtner, Spiegel, 02/06/2013

“It was billed as a major summit of Europe's top intellectual icons, whose brilliance would light the path toward solving the Continent's crises. But, if anything, the recent powwow in Paris on the future of Europe only proved that it badly needs new thinkers.”

Fichtner ends his report with these proficient words.

“And how should we react to those who are constantly telling us about gloom and doom scenarios or quoting Goethe and Shakespeare? We should stick out our tongues or thumb our noses at them.”

However, before anything new, we need to get rid of the fucking Wall, goddamn it.

The Wall is made of CENSORSHIP: by journalists, the political élite and the so-called academics. When their static culture from hell, based on total obedience, is gone. Then, we can restart our civilisation.


If you want to regain, or to get the meaning of life; for that not yet existing culture. Take this..Observe this stuff demands that you are immersed into the sound.

Historic Sarcasm In a Swedish Newspaper

On Christmas Eve, 24 December 2012, The biggest Swedish newspaper published ”A Christmas card from Jan Lööf” Lööf is the artist that has made the card.

The card show the Swedish Prime Minister and Minister for Finance in a junkyard that is Sweden.

It was only published in the printed paper (as far as I know).

Political satire about Swedish politics, with an edge, is almost unknown. So, when this card is published by Dagens Nyheter it is really interesting. It is also so that the total fuck up of the economy is within Sweden a new insight. The crisis in Sweden began this autumn – according to Swedish media.


The Card

Hallå! Jag önskar alla mänskor en God Jul! :
Hello! I wish all (mänskor (?) humans/people is spelled: människor) a Merry Christmas.

Skrot: junkyard
