There exists at the basis of human life a principle of insuffiency. On his own, each man imagines others to be incapable or unworthy of "being". A slanderous and free conversationn expresses the certainty of the vanity of my fellow beings; what apparently a mean spirited chat reveals a blind straining of life towards an undefinable summit.

The sufficency of each being is challenged unceasingly by those who surround him. Even a look expressing admiration is attached to me like a doubt. ["Genius" lowers more than uplifts; the idea of "genius" prevents one from being simple, urges one to show the essential, to hide what would dissapoint: there is no "genius" conceivable without "art". I would like to simplify, to brave the feeling of insufficency. I myself am not sufficent and only mantain my "pretense" by means of the shadow in which I finds myself.] A burst of laughter, an expression of repugnance greet gestures, sentences, shortcommings in which my deep insufficency is betrayed...

... Being is in the world so uncertain that I can project it where I wish -outside of me. It is a sort of inept man -who did not know how to unravel the essential plot, who limited being to the self. In actual fact, being is exactly nowhere and it was a game to grasp it as divine at the summit of the pyramid of individual beings. [Being is "ungraspable". It is only "grasped" in error; the error is not just easy -in this case, it is the condition of thought.]

The Labyrinth (Or the constitution of beings). On Inner Experience. Georges Bataille. 1954 (L. A. Boldt trad.) (pp 81-82)

...The village was J. deep in snow. The Castle hill was hidden, veiled in mist and darkness, nor was there even a glimmer of light to show that a castle was there. On the wooden bridge leading from the main road to the village K. stood for a long time gazing into the illusory emptiness above him. Then he went on to find quarters for the night.

He captured dreams, just like others appear to chase after butterflies with nets. He did not travel to the islands on sundays and holidays and did not frequent the taverns on Pagos beach. He locked himself up in his studio for trips into the dreamy regions. He said that all countries and unknown islands were woven into the tapestry. The drugs served him as keys to entry into the chambers and caves of this world. In the course of the years he had gained great knowledge, and he kept a log book of his excursions. A small library adjoined this studio, consisting partly of herbals and medicinal reports, partly of works by poets and magicians. Antonio tended to read there while the effect of the drug itself developed... He went on voyages of discovery in the universe of his brain...

From Ernst Jünger's Helipolis. 1949.

Wilco - Poor Places

Poor Places
Wilco
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
2002

Far too much attention has been focused on this album's tortured history; band makes weird album, label rejects it, band buys it back and puts it out a year later through another arm of the same corporation. For the record, wildly overexcited ... Full DescriptionRadiohead comparisons aside, the album's not that weird--it merely ventures a bit further down the sonic-shambles roads explored on the band's previous two releases. As has been noted elsewhere, the most valid reference point for the occasional pop deconstructions of YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT is Big Star's THIRD/SISTER LOVERS, not Thom Yorke and company.

The most significant factor in this nominal weird-out is the presence of producer Jim O'Rourke, whose avant-rock tendencies loom large here. Nevertheless, beneath the layers of warped keyboards and slow-death guitars, Wilco mastermind Jeff Tweedy has loaded the album with catchy (yes, catchy) tunes that mix the pure power-pop of mid-period Beach Boys and the aforementioned Big Star with the rootsy background of Tweedy's former group Uncle Tupelo and an unmistakable streak of singer-songwriter melancholy. Don't be scared away by ridiculous assessments of this as a "difficult" album; any Wilco fan may enter this hotel without trepidation.

11 songs about America that echo and update some of the themes heard on early albums by The Band, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young. Enhanced format features exclusive live footage, band photos, and a trailer for the film 'I Am Trying to Break Your Heart'. Slipcase. 2002.

Recorded at The Loft, CRC, and Soma E.M.S., Chicago, Illinois.

Wilco: Jeff Tweedy (vocals, guitar); John Stirratt, Leroy Bach, Glenn Kotche, Jay Bennett.

Additional personnel: Craig Christiansen, Ken Coomer, Jessy Greene, Fred Lonborg-Holm, Jim O'Rourke.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Rolling Stone (5/9/02, pp.71-72) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...An earthy, moving psychedelia, eleven iridescent-country songs about surviving a blown mind and a broken heart....the enchanting sound of things falling apart-and gingerly, doggedly coming together again..."
Spin (1/03, p.70) - Ranked #2 on Spin's list of 2002's "Albums of the Year"
Spin (3/02, p.131) - "...The record includes fragments of treated piano, static interference, [and] random noises....YANKEE isn't your typical Americana or alt-country record..."
Q (May 2002, p.121) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...This elegant, world-weary...album ploughs enthusiastically into the leftfield..."
Uncut (1/03, p.94) - Ranked #4 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year" - "...Wilco's finest, its pretty electronic textures and melodicism making a heartbreaking album..."

CMJ (4/22/02, p.4) - "...[A] beautifully strange mix of organic textures and oblique poetics, all of it gently pulsating with a backwoodsy tech-head feel..."

Of such great powers or beings there may be conceivably a survival... a survival of a hugely remote period when... consciousness was manifested, perhaps, in shapes and forms long since withdrawn before the tide of advancing humanity... forms of which poetry and legend alone have caught a flying memory and called them gods, monsters, mythical beings of all sorts and kinds...

Fuck Forever
Babyshambles
Down In Albion
2006

It's impossible to mention British rocker and ex-Libertine Pete Doherty without also referring to his highly publicized drug addiction, the haze of which hangs heavy over his band Babyshambles' 2006 debut. Ex-Clash member and punk-rock elder statesman Mick Jones produces with a light touch that's occasionally reminiscent of the Clash's SANDINISTA! album, despite the fact that Doherty and his mates can't quite seem to muster up the same energy as their forefathers. Still, there are more than enough rough gems on DOWN IN ALBION to make the listener want to root for Doherty. "Fuck Forever" carries hints of vintage Ray Davies, and "The 32nd of December" is a great pop song in embryo, while the pretty, fragile "What Katy Did Next" laments Doherty's scandal-beset relationship with the fashion model Kate Moss (who contributes backing vocals on "La Belle et La Bete"). Though it's definitely a shambolic affair, DOWN IN ALBION has enough truly splendid moments that it deserves to be heard apart from Doherty's shenanigans.

Recording information: Metropolis Studios, London, England (2005 - 2006).

Babyshambles: Drew McConnell, Patrick Walden, Adam Ficek, Peter Doherty.

Additional personnel: Kate Moss, The General (vocals); Barriemore Barlow (gong).
