Kickstart az una tama don környékén. Két órára rá meg a precíziósjazzdobosJojo Mayer koncertjén talál minket az este Teryallal, a hazai support Loop Doctorsért már megéri, mondogatjuk, a felriglizett négy képernyőre vetített videokollázs elég hatásosan helyez át minden hangot téren és időn keresztül valami teljesen más konstrukcióba, a vigyorgást csak addig hagyjuk abba, amíg nem teszünk pár kört az A38on (megfáradt kékharisnyák, zeneértő szemüvegesek és ködös szem, hangosan kiabáló és/vagy kubai szivarral táncoló fejek jól kiszámítható tömege, hogy a pókinváziót ne is említsem.)
A Nerve (Jojo Mayer, Tacuya Nakamura, John Davis Janek Gwizdala, Roli Mosimann) contemporary freestyle-ja aztán egybemossa a pszichedéliát, a hetvenes évek ürességét, a törtritmus-kultúra feszültségét meg a bamba mosolyokat eredményező session jamet, két számig van csak időnk, de amit eddig is láttunk a YouTube-feedeken, az írd és mondd lófasz ahhoz képest, amit ezek a zenészek képesek nyújtani. Nerve CD-vel távozunk, a Loop Doctorsra nem futotta (hacsak lett volna egy ATM a hajó gyomrában, pfrzt!). A fényképek sorra félresülnek (a quickshotgép tényleg csak quickshotra jó és semmi másra), viszont a videó meglepően jól szól és azt a szándékosan torz és erőszakos dinamikát sem adja vissza, ami olykor még menekülésre is késztette a közönséget (egészen a színpad mértani közepéig). Kettő harmincötnél apró szerelési brilliansz, ami önkéntelen kiabálást okoz az első sorokban, ezt a videot pedig egészen egyszerűen csak ajánlani tudom összes zenész ismerősömnek és kontaktomnak. Lehetőleg így. (Tommy, thank you.)
UPDATE: Bass player Janek Gwizdala had kindly reminded me that it was him playing on the stage that night and not John Davis, quickly changed the names here and in the YouTube tags. Check his website here, by the way, it rocks!) – June 27, 2007

Miután ma hajnal háromig szoptunk a wifivel és abszolút nem tudtunk kapcsolódni, röviden, túlélt élményeket kaptok filterezve. A K17 koncertterme a Gyár (oldalfal, elhelyezkedés) és a Kulti (színpad) keverékének tűnik első látásra, csak nincsen körülötte ajurvédikus étterem alkoholmentes koktélokkal, thai kifőzde és bevásárlóközpont. …

Charing Cross. Hat órán keresztül pofoztam össze a Zombot halloween event-only petet, ami ugyan a szaladgáláson kívül nem képes semmire, de eszerint a videó szerint Jacko ihlette a mozgáskultúráját. (Láttam, egyetértek.)

Designates the human ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations). This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be central in such roles as botanist or chef. It is also speculated that much of our consumer society exploits the naturalist intelligences, which can be mobilized in the discrimination among cars, sneakers, kinds of makeup, and the like.
2. Musical Intelligence (“Musical Smart”)
Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone. This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music, as demonstrated by composers, conductors, musicians, vocalist, and sensitive listeners. Interestingly, there is often an affective connection between music and the emotions; and mathematical and musical intelligences may share common thinking processes. Young adults with this kind of intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.
Logical-mathematical intelligence is the ability to calculate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations. It enables us to perceive relationships and connections and to use abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills; and inductive and deductive thinking patterns. Logical intelligence is usually well developed in mathematicians, scientists, and detectives. Young adults with lots of logical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories, and relationships. They are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.

Sokushinbutsu (即身仏) were Buddhist monks or priests who caused their own deaths in a way that resulted in their mummification. This practice reportedly took place almost exclusively in northern Japan around Yamagata Prefecture. It is believed that many hundreds of monks tried, but only 24 such mummifications have been discovered to date.
Their diet was nuts and seeds for 1000 days, after that they only ate bark and roots while getting rid of body fat, After the 1000 days they drank a poisionous tea made from the sap of Urushi tree.
Finally, a self-mummifying monk would lock himself in a stone tomb barely larger than his body, where he would not move from the lotus position. His only connection to the outside world was an air tube and a bell. Each day he rang a bell to let those outside know that he was still alive.When the bell stopped ringing, the tube was removed and the tomb sealed. After the tomb was sealed, the other monks in the temple would wait another 1,000 days, and open the tomb to see if the mummification was successful.
If the monk was mummified he was instantly seen as Buddha and put on display. If the mummification wasnt successful then the monk wasn’t seen as one, yet still admired for his trying.
