Auf diepresse.com gibt es Poster, für die ist Helmut "alles war immer korrekt und nie flog ich wo raus" Brandstätter viel zu rot und praktisch ein Kommunist. Das erinnerte uns ein wenig nostalgisch an unsere Kindheit in uptown Bregenz, wo alles außerhalb der Kirche, der Bauernbundfraktion in der Landesregierung und dem Bürgermeister von Alberschwende praktisch durchgehend im Verdacht stand, nichts im Sinn zu haben, als dem internationalen Weltkommunismus und Rotchina Vorschub zu leisten.
Hätten diese Burschen(!) zuhause sich damals getraut, so zu reden, wie ihnen die Hirnwindungen und der Schnabel eigentlich gewachsen waren, hätten sie schon die Juden und Zigeuner auch darin involviert gesehen. Aber dafür hatten sie leider unter den Negern und Marokkanern vom 45er bis zum 55er Jahr zu viel Schiss aufgerissen.
Schön, dass man heutzutage noch erleben darf, dass nicht alle liebgewordenen Schemchen aus der Kindheit schon vollkommen ausgestorben sind. Was machen diese Leute, wenn die steirischen Bischöfe zusperren und die gegenständliche Marke an die neoliberalen Ungläubigen von Bananistan verkaufen?
Es ist so schade, dass Du so bist wie Du bist,
dass Du leider gar kein anderer bist,
dass Du leider leider ganz Du selber bist.
Wir werden dem, glauben wir hier, noch nachtrauern, wenn es nur mehr Soße und Grießbrei gibt.
Itzik Manger (איציק מאַנגער, born 1901 in Czernowitz, then Austria, deceased 1969 in Gedera, Israel) was and through his printed words still is the honest to God fucking genius of yiddish poetry. Amongst many other language based artefacts of subtlety and beauty the following one surely belongs to our favorites.
This poem patterns a certain kind of inner sensations and their connection to music right on the fine line where real poetry must live and in a European-Oriental language that was spoken by millions and is now regularly spoken only by half crazy Haredim in NYC, Florida and Israel and - slightly embarassing most of the time - in workshops.
And an aside: Frank London blows a little trumpet solo in that recording that really moves my musical senses.
Enjoy now!

Just another evening song
After all jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind whispers Mary
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind, it cries Mary
The traffic lights they turn a blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cause the life that they lived is dead
And the wind screams Mary
Will the wind ever remember?
The names it has blown in the past
And with its crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers "no, this will be the last"
And the wind cries Mary
This one's by an African American of very mixed descent who put his poems to music himself. Was not eligible for a Nobel prize though,not a single bit more than our obscure poet above.
We have drawn this connection before and for all who claim not to see the associative pattern, here's
A Little Quiz
* A little, probably necessary for many, help: Davenen is the Yiddish word for praying. Phylacteries is a posh word for Tefillin.

Und ein kleines Bilderrätsel. Nicht schwer. Wer zum Teufel ist diese Frau?
While we have already determined that "hot & cool" - in this pair and application - stem from talking, writing and argueing about afroamerican jazz music, we still have to look at the terms of high and low definition as well as those of participation and completion.
Obviously our Professor McLuhan, like any academic maverick, would naturally feel the urgent need to back up his "probes" by binding them down to the imaginary worlds of the more respected natural and social sciences by using such terms (definition, participation, completion, ...) to provide the rational reasoning, so coveted by academia since the old Greeks, influenced by writing vowels, getting too much sun and too much spear training, invented it.
Historically, the term high-definition television was first used to refer to television standards developed in the 1930s to replace early experimental systems with as few as 12 lines. Not long afterwards John Logie Baird, Philo T. Farnsworth, and Vladimir Zworykin had each developed competing TV systems, but resolution was not the issue that separated their substantially different technologies, it was patent interference lawsuits and deployment issues given the tumultuous financial climate of the late '20s and '30s.
The British 405-line system was the first to advertise itself as high definition and see widespread use. Most patents were expiring by the end of World War II leaving the market wide open and no worldwide standard for television agreed upon. The standards introduced in the early 1950s stayed for over half a century.
Now, if we believe this jedi archive and compare this to the tight binding and high popularity the concepts of high and low definitions have with television, at least provisionally we can take that description for granted. Taking into account how badly both HD audio and HD radio flopped, still inclines us further towards persuasion that the opposition of HD/LD ought to be applied to TV, mainly. LD of course is called SD in our positive times, unless you like to be a history buff and still want to call 12 lines television LD and think that PAL, NTSC and SECAM provide wholly statisfactory standards.
We would still have to mention that the original French system offered a black and white 819 lines system from 1949 to 1984 which probably gave rise to ideas of HD definition, having 12.5% more vertical resolution than modernday 720p HDTV.
A good 35mm negative has a vertical resolution of up to 3000 lines while NTSC in NA has one of 525 lines - theoretically. We so constate that Mr. McLuhan was entitled to relatively oppose TV and film as low and high def.
We will look at the concept of single channel fill-up and the task of applying this very discrimination to text, audio and other media as well as to comparing different media to each other in a minute - or so.
This famous song, commonly known as Eli, Eli ("My God, My God") is based on the poem Halikha LeKesariya ("A Walk to Caesarea") by Hannah Szenes, daughter of journalist and children's books author Bela Szenes. Ms. Szenes made Aliyah in 1939 but went back to Yugoslawia and Hungary to save fellow Jews from the Nazis. Not many did such things. It took tremendous courage and cost her live.
Poetry cannot be any denser then this. Metonymic and projective the six lines contain everything worth keeping.
This second image is just 4 ourselves, better than תל אביב beach, which is also nice.
Youtube-Searching and listening to other perfomances of the song can be recommended.
