The Dresden Dolls – Sing

There is this thing that’s like touching exept you dont touch
Back in the day it just went without saying at all
All the world’s history gradually dying in shock
There is this thing it’s like talking except you don’t talk
You sing
You sing

Sing for the bartender sing for the janitor sing
Sing for the cameras sing for the animals sing
Sing for the children shooting the children sing
Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn’t sing
Just sing

There is thing keeping everyone’s lungs and lips locked
It is called fear and it’s seeing a great renaissance
After the show you can not sing wherever you want
But for now let’s just pretend we’re all gonna get bombed
So sing

Sing cause its obvious sing for the astronauts sing
Sing for the president sing for the terrorists sing
Sing for the soccer team sing for the janjaweed sing
Sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing
Just sing

Life is no cabaret
We don’t care what you say
We’re inviting you anyway
You motherfuckers you’ll sing someday…
You motherfuckers you’ll sing someday…
You motherfuckers you’ll sing someday…

Canon 7 is here!

I got the Canon 7 from Peterc from RFF. He was kind and threw in a 1962 jupiter 8 with a japanese 1A filter and a roll of maco 64c film and thats after giving me a great deal on the camera itself.
Tom_F77 has sent me a canon 50/1.8 and I am in the market for a cheap 35(canon 35/2.8 or CV 35/2.5 – wanna sell me one?)

I am again – “with rangefinder”.

Things that calm me down

El Commendante

Aprendimos a quererte
desde la histórica altura
donde el sol de tu bravura
le puso un cerco a la muerte.
Aquí se queda la clara,
la entrañable transparencia,
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.
Tu mano gloriosa y fuerte
sobre la historia dispara
cuando todo Santa Clara
se despierta para verte.
Aquí se queda la clara,
la entrañable transparencia,
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.
Vienes quemando la brisa
con soles de primavera
para plantar la bandera
con la luz de tu sonrisa.
Aquí se queda la clara,
la entrañable transparencia,
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.
Tu amor revolucionario
te conduce a nueva empresa
donde esperan la firmeza
de tu brazo libertario.
Aquí se queda la clara,
la entrañable transparencia,
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.
Seguiremos adelante
como junto a ti seguimos
y con Fidel te decimos:
hasta siempre Comandante.
Aquí se queda la clara,
la entrañable transparencia,
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.

(Carlos Puebla, 1965)

A flyer stuck in the bushes near the university(BGU) in Beer Sheva, Israel – hardly political – more likely to promote a night club.
