Big Hard Excellent Fish

JC featured Pete Whylie yesterday on his terrific blog. For me, Pete Whylie is one of the most underrated artists in the post punk/new wave era. What ever he did, he made it with great empathy and he was always open for something new. Watching his career go for JC's page. Reading his post it inspired me to post a song which he released as Big Heart Excellent Fish. Imperfect List is one of these songs when they appear to me I get into a sentimental mood. Most of the words that was spoken touches my heart and I ask myself why is the world that it is now. You can add to the lyrics of this song what happened the last years. IS, refugees, war in middle east, unemployment, health service,  ... It will ever be an unfinished list. So sad about it - but it's the fact of life we have to bare.

Minute's Silence

Don't be surprised when you take a click on this video. It is nothing but silence. Why and what is the reason I post this? It is a statement by Raoul Haspel, an Austrian artist who is selling a one minute of silence to remind what is happening to the refugees that come from distant places to Europe to escape from physical torture, poverty and war from their home countries. He did this when he recognized what happened in the Austrian refugee camp Traiskirchen. It's the biggest Austrian refugee camp and it is overfilled with more than 3.500 refugees. A lot of them have to camp without a tent - even pregnant people.

Not only this touches me right now. It's also about the upcoming idiots in Germany following some right wing lead ideas, burning refugees camps and raising their right hand like 80 years ago. It makes me angry about what happens in my country right now and I can't stop to talk about this shameful behavior to a lot of people. But I don't lose hope that our humanity education will win at least.
