Radio Mix without antennas

Dear Ombiouxoi kai loipei (tzi' es' edera)
Along side our blogs, vlogs, glompous, lellous kai veggous, audiovisual resources and hyperlingual kebabs, another of those "just visit for a while end up spending whole nights" website has come to my hands and made itself andy handy in the absence of the conventional signal receivers, regardless to having the cables, the skys and the kosiaris we lack the essentials - that being the monitors, the radios, and the cooking pans. Thus - following the wise advice of my Mathaios lunch companion Aris, well known for gadget speculations - and as the aftermath of insomnia, I hereby introduce you and you to it:
Pandora (to much greater demand following the Zorpa / Zoro fiasco / fresco). Please do not hesitate (or as the direct translation in Malev aircrafts has phrased it "Niwste aftopepithisi na epikoinwnisete me tis aerosinodous..") to simply add an entry (that being a singer / song / genre) and Pandora will open up creating a radio station following the given parameters. E, pale ivrame poskollio

Litterae nihil sanantes

Poetry used to wake us up. Ezra Pound and Nikos Karouzos. The loud sun and the warmth of cracked radios and old tapes. No vowels. Helicopters blasting out weather reports. The window always half open, an urban post-it note of that other cerebrality, the feet. The re-creations of abstracted grids and enclosed cities after breakfast. Nothing to do with communality, nor sociability. These mornings were the proud equals of nights balancing at the edge of barstools, and the smile of last drops, the smile of last drops, the smile of last drops. An eye to an eye, hands akimbo, apart from the index and middle finger, caressing the asphalt, the ink-stained marbles with our elbows, our scapulae. The light here is not, and we find ourselves praying in front of fixtures and the momentary . The overcast generalisation of uniformity, of the others -note the plural- has substituted excess for overdraft. Decadence for weekends.



A/gain you say?

All I want for Christmas

is you...

with your independent suspension system, your extra shock absorbers, your hand powered window wipers, your removable seats, and your canvas roof...

think about it.
you and me, me and you.

Mood Indigo

There, there is the view from the table where we all sat, all four of us - but just you and me were drinking, drinking, drinking. There the table of June, with yoy, once, and shrimps, and the grilled squid. And there is that painting, the painting which no photograph would ever do justice, and thus not my photographs, but its own photographic reflection in the mirrors. Under it, my table of that September, the moment everything started. It could have been decdes ago, buat it's not. Not yet. And thus nostalgia hasn't yet settled and wants to still be that which feeds my everyday, it hasn't taken the back seat on this horrid ride, only to rush forward at times, at times not unlike this.The disctionaries have abandoned us, falling off the side of small tables, of filled tables, of alcoholic tables. There is that other table, there, the beer-table, in an ouzeri. And the usual table. There is the door, the pavement of the memories lived twice, always lived twice.

My fingers are oily again, the night has yet to come, and the breeze, the breeze and the smog interupts the ouzo, the cigarettes and the kiss.

Giving Up

How easy would it have been to blame the weather, the odour of my knitwear, the after-taste of nights that have only recently gone by. In a sudden, furious attack to all that has been stored, moments before the splendid moonlight. To lift my right index finger towrards a materiality that I have endorsed, to poke what will only be mine. How easy would it have benn to turn my ear away from the breath that haunts me, and has sustained me up to now, and fall pray -'hug!'- the meaningless cries of figures and numerals cubed.

Συγκεκριμένα, η ομιλία του Προέδρου της Ε.Φ.Ε.Ν. Ηλία Σπύρου ήταν καυστική και αποτελεσματικά μετάδωσε το μήνυμα της οργάνωσης πως ο αγών έχει πάρει σάρκα και οστά.

And yet again what remains the same is the inability to describe, to spell out the situation. How to pronounce the reverse theatrical mimesis of the state, the appropriation from one form of vilolence of all forms of violence and its representations, the elusive resurgent, the performativity of the repetition and the repetition of the act? One turns again to translation:"Ο ισχυρισμός οτι οι σκοποί της αστυνομικής εξουσίας ταυτίζονται παγίως ή απλώς και μόνο συνδέονται μ' αυτούς του ευρύτερου δικαίου, είναι απολύτως αναληθής. Πολύ περισσότερο που το 'δίκαιο' της αστυνομίας στην πραγματικότητα χαρακτηρίζει το σημείο εκείνο όπου το κράτος, είτε λόγω αδυναμίας, είτε λόγω των εμμενών συσχετισμών στο εσωτερικό κάθε έννομης τάξης, δεν μπορεί πλέον, μέσω αυτής της έννομης τάξης, να κατοχυρώσει τους εμπειρικούς του σκοπούς που επιθυμεί με κάθε τίμημα να επιτύχει. Ω; εκ τούτου, η αστυνομία επεμβαίνει σε πολυάριθμες περιπτώσεις 'χάριν ασφαλείας' όπου δεν υφισταταί σαφής νομική κατάσταση, όταν -χβρίς την παραμικρή σχέση με έννομους σκοπούς- συνοδεύει τον πολίτη ως επονείδιστο βάρος μιας ζωής ρυθμιζόμενης απο διατάξεις, ή, ακόμα χειρότερα, τον παρακολουθεί. Σε αντίθεση με το δίκαιο, το οποίο αναγνωρίζει στην καθορισμένη απο τον τόπο και το χρόνο 'απόφαση' μια μεταφυσική κατηγορία, επιτρέπωνυας έτσι την κριτική, η εξέταση του θεσμού της αστυνομίας δεν καταλήγει σε τίποτα το ουσιαστικό. Η εξουσία της είναι άμορφη, όπως η πουθενά απτή, αλλά ωστόσο διάχυτη, φασματική παρουσία της στη ζωή όλων των πολιτισμένων κρατών. Και ενώ η αστυνομία μπορεί μεμονωμένα να μοίαζει παντού η ίδια, δεν πρέπει να παραγνωρίζεται οτι το πνεύμα της είναι λιγότερο καταστρεπτικό όταν εκπροσωπεί, στην απόλυτη μοναρχία, την εξουσία του άρχοντα (ο οποίος κατέχει και την νομοθετική και την εκτελεστική εξουσία), παρά στις δημοκρατίες που η ύπαρξη της, καθώς δεν προκύπτει από καμμία τέτοια σχέση, μαρτυρά το μέγιστο εκφυλισμό βίας που μπορεί να συλλάβει κανείς."

Νέο κτίριο επιβατών για το αεροδρόμιο Πάφου περί τα τέλη του 2008



Πάφος: Σε λειτουργία, περί τα τέλη του 2008, αναμένεται να τεθεί το νέο κτίριο επιβατών στο αεροδρόμιο Πάφου. Αυτό δήλωσε ο υπουργός Συγκοινωνιών και Έργων, Χάρης Θράσου ο οποίος επισκέφθηκε σήμερα το εργοτάξιο κατασκευής του νέου αερολιμένα της Πάφου. Όπως είπε, η κατασκευή του κτιρίου άρχισε τον Ιούνιο του 2006 και αναμένεται ότι θα συμπληρωθεί και θα τεθεί σε λειτουργία περί τα τέλη του 2008.
Οι κατασκευαστικές εργασίες, παρατήρησε ο υπουργός, προχωρούν με γοργούς ρυθμούς και βρίσκονται τουλάχιστον δύο μήνες μπροστά από το εγκεκριμένο χρονοδιάγραμμα του έργου. Για παράδειγμα, επισήμανε, σήμερα εκτελούνται εργασίες που σύμφωνα με το χρονοδιάγραμμα αναμενόταν να εκτελεστούν αρχές του 2007.

Σύμφωνα με στοιχεία του υπουργείου Συγκοινωνιών, για την κατασκευή του νέου κτιρίου επιβατών θα χρησιμοποιηθούν 11.000 κ.μ. σκυροδέματος, 950 τόνοι οπλισμού, ενώ το συνολικό μήκος των διασωληνώσεων θα είναι 9 km. * Θα διαθέτει επίσης χώρος στάθμευσης για 760 ιδιωτικά οχήματα, 36 λεωφορεία και 84 ταξί.

Το νέο κτίριο επιβατών του αερολιμένα της Πάφου διακρίνεται για το σύγχρονο σχεδιασμό του, είναι μια κατασκευή υψηλών προδιαγραφών, με συνολικό εμβαδόν 18.000 τ.μ. περίπου και χωρητικότητας 2,7 εκ. επιβατών το χρόνο, αναφέρουν τα στοιχεία του υπουργείου. Τα επίπεδα εξυπηρέτησης θα είναι ψηλού επιπέδου, με σταθερή ροή επιβατών, ανεκτές καθυστερήσεις και καλό επίπεδο άνεσης, σύμφωνα με το υπουργείο Συγκοινωνιών και Έργων.

Full moon: depends on where you come from

New Earth,gia osous en pou to feggari.http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Earth/action?opt=-m

"The stars about the full moon lose their bright beauty when she, almost full, illumines all earth with silver.

The gleaming stars all about the shining moon
Hide their bright faces, when full-orbed and splendid
In the sky she floats, flooding the shadowed earth
with clear silver light."

Agent Unkle Bill Lee Reporting On The Island (excerpt from Naked Lunch)

The Island was a British Military and Naval station directly opposite the Zone. England holds the Island on yearly rent-free lease, and every year the lease and permit of residence is formally renewed. The entire population turns out, attendance is compulsory, and gathers at the municipal dump. The President of the Island is required by custom to crawl across the garbage on his stomach and deliver the Permit of Residence and Renewal of the Lease, signed by every citizen of the Island, to The Resident Governor who stands resplendent in dress uniform. The Governor takes the permit and shoves it into his coat pocket:
"Well," he says with a tight smile, "so you've decidedto let us stay another year have you? Very good of you. And everyone is happy about it?... Is there anyone who isn't happy about it?"
Soldiers in jeeps sweep mounted machine-guns back and forth across the crowd with a slow, searching movement.
"Everybody happy. Well that's fine." He turns jovially to the prostrate President. "I'll keep your papers in case I get caught short. Haw Haw Haw." His loud, metallic laugh rings out across the dump, and the crowd laughs with him under the searching guns.
The forms of democracy are scrupulously enforced on the Island. There is a Senate and a Congress who carry on endless sessions discussing garbage disposal and out house inspection, the only two questions overwhich they have jurisdiction. For a brief period in the mid-nineteenth century, they had been allowed to control the dept. of Baboon Maintenance but this privilege had been withdrawn owing to absenteeism in the Senate.
The purple-assed Tripoli baboons had been brought to the Island by pirates in the 17th century. There was a legend that when the baboons left the Island it would fall. To whom or in what way is not specified, and it is a capital offense to kill a baboon, though the noxious behaviour of these animals harries the citizens almost beyond endurance. Occasionally someone goes berserk, kills several baboons and himself.
[...] His presurgery face emerged in an arc-light of incandescent hate....He began to spit curses in the hideous, strangled gutturals of the Island dialect.
The Islanders all profess ignorance of the dialect or fiatly deny its existence. "We are Breetish," they say. "We don't got no bloody dealect."

It's getting darker a lot earlier again. it's raining a lot more too. and for some strange reason the fan on my computer makes a sound like crickets on a hot august afternoon, so occasionally i don't know where i am. no bearings at all in fact. no orientation to speak of. even when sitting in one place, motionless. and i wonder how often do we displace ourselves? and how often do we misplace others?
i've never been one for prayers.
i'd rather cross bridges.

Για το Wittgenstein

"Του είπα ότι δεν πρέπει να δηλώνει απλώς τί νομίζει ότι είναι αληθές, αλλά να δίνει και επιχειρήματα, είπε όμως ότι τα επιχειρήματα καταστρέφουν την ομορφιά, και ότι θα αισθανόταν σαν να λερώνει ένα λουλούδι με χέρια λασπωμένα. Με γοητεύει πραγματικά -ένας καλλιτέχνης του νου είναι τόσο σπάνιο. Του είπα ότι δε μου κάνει καρδιά να πω τίποτε αντίθετο, και ότι είναι καλύτερα να αποκτήσει ένα σκλάβο για να γράφει τα επιχειρήματα"

Signification, which is the only function of a word admitted by semantics, reaches perfection in the sign. Whether folksongs were rightly or wrongly called upper-class culture in decay, their elements have only acquired their popular form through a long process of repeated transmission. The spread of popular songs, on the other hand, takes place at lightning speed. The American expression "fad", used for fashions which appear like epidemics — that is, inflamed by highly-concentrated economic forces — designated this phenomenon long before totalitarian advertising bosses enforced the general lines of culture. When the German Fascists decide one day to launch a word — say, "intolerable" — over the loudspeakers the next day the whole nation is saying "intolerable." By the same pattern, the nations against whom the weight of the German "blitzkrieg" was thrown took the word into their own jargon. The general repetition of names for measures to be taken by the authorities makes them, so to speak, familiar, just as the brand name on everybody's lips increased sales in the era of the free market. (Adorno & Horkheimer, Dialektik der Aufklärung)

Yes, I have talked to too many people, I am struck by that now; to me, each person was an entire people. That vast other person made me much more than I would have liked. Now my life is surprisingly secure; even fatal diseases find me too tough. I'm sorry, but I must bury a few others before I bury myself.

on a plane, going back to a new place, with just a pair of trousers, a shirt and a memory stick, [only] the first chapter of the greek translation

Στην περίπτωση της έννοιας του Άλλου ως έκφρασης ενός δυνατού κόσμου στα πλαίσια ενός αντιληπτικού πεδίου, οδηγούμαστε στο να θεωρήσουμε με νέο τρόπο τις συνιστώσες αυτού του πεδίου ως προς αυτό το ίδιο: ο άλλος, χωρίς να είναι πλέον ούτε υποκείμενο του πεδίου, ούτε αντικείμενο εντός του πεδίου, θα αποτελέσει τον όρο βάσει του οποίου αναδιανέμονται όχι τα περιθώρια και το κέντρο, το κινιτό [πράγμα] και το σημείο αναφοράς, το φευγαλέο και το ουσιαστικό, το μήκος και το βάθος...

then, on a flight that resides in the midst of a journey, between waking and sleep, waiting for further feet and trains, so that you lose half of the book because you read it in your sleep, such as

SOPHIST WALLOPS HAUGHTY HELEN SQUARE ON PROBOSCIS. SPARTANS GNASH MOLARS. ITHACANS VOW PEN IS CHAMP

- You remind me of Antisthenes, the prophessor said, a disciple of Gorgias, the sophist. It is said of him that none could tell if he were bitterer against others or against himself. He was the son of a noble and a bond-woman. And he wrote a book in which he took away the palm of beauty from Argive Helen and handed it to poor Penelope.
Poor Penelope. Penelope Rich.
They made ready to cross O'Connell street.

HELLO THERE, CENTRAL!

and on going back, for the first time, with no foolish patience for irrealisms or sufficient reasons, quite willing to abandon literature

Everything here seems chaotic. Do you see those little streams? Not one of them runs in a straight line. And those ponds, which are neither round, nor square, nor oval, nor regular in any shape or form? And all these little pointed particles sticking up like bristles all over the globe and which have torn the skin off my feet? [...] Frankly, what makes me think there is no one here is that, as I see it, no one with any sense would want to live here.

Allocating happiness

In psychology, in the bottomless fraud of mere inwardness, which is not by accident concerned with the 'properties' of men, is reflected what bourgeois society has practised for all time with outward property. The latyer, as a result of social exchange, has been increased, but with a proviso dimly present to every bourgeois. The individual has been, as it were, merely invested with property by the class, and those in control are ready to take it back as soon as universalization of property seems to endanger its principle, which is precisely that of with-holding. Psychology repeats in the case of properties what was done to property. It expropriates the individual by allocating him its happiness. Theodor Adorno, Minima Moralia, #39

'Perfect Light'

There you are, in all your innocence,
Sitting among your daffodils, as in a picture
Posed as for the title: 'Innocence.'
Perfect light in your face lights it up
Like a daffodil. Like any one of those daffodils
It was to be your only April on earth
Among your daffodils. In your arms,
Like a teddy bear, your new son,
Only a few weeks into his innocence.
Mother and infant, as in the Holy portrait.
And beside you, laughing up at you,
Your daughter, barely two. Like a daffodil
You turn your face down to her, saying something.
Your words were lost in the camera. And the knowledge
Inside the hill on which you are sitting,
A moated fort hill, bigger than your house,
Failed to reach the picture. While your next moment,
Coming towards you like an infantryman
Returning slowly out of no-man's-land,
Bowed under something, never reached you -
Simply melted into the perfect light.

-Ted Hughes

Loss only works in a state of transference from one reader to the next.

I read, therefore, I lose?

"...Σκέφτομαι μόνο όσο χειάζεται για να μη σωπαίνω, δε λέγεται σκέψη αυτό..."

"...Αυτή η φωνή που μιλάει, ξέροντας πως δε ξέρει τι λέει, αδιαφορώντας για το τι λέει, πολύ παλιά ίσως και πολύ κουρελιασμένη για να μπορέσει ποτέ να πει τα λόγια που θα είναι τα στερνά της, ξέροντας πως μιλάει του κάκου, του κάκου ξέροντάς το, που δεν ακούει τα λόγια της αλλά τη σιωπή που τα λόγια της σπάζουν, απ'όπου ίσως μια μέρα θα γλιστρήσει κλεφτά ο βαθύς καθαρός στεναγμός του ερχομού και του αντίο, είναι φωνή;..."

Κάτι χειρότερο από άνεργος...

...- αιωρούμενος. Όχι μόνο δεν έχω συγκεκριμένη δουλειά - δεν ξέρω ούτε σε ποιόν επαγγελματικό χώρο ανήκω.

Ποτέ δεν ήξερα. Παντού ένιωθα απ' έξω. Κι αν δεν το ένιωθα εγώ, φρόντιζαν οι εκάστοτε συνάδελφοι να το αισθανθώ. Ούτε οι διαφημιστές παλιότερα με αποδέχθηκαν, ούτε πιο πρόσφατα οι δημοσιογράφοι. Όσο για τους συγγραφείς...

Καμιά φορά ζηλεύω αυτούς που έχουν ένα πλαίσιο εργασίας. Υποχρεώσεις, ωράριο, ιεραρχία, συνδικαλισμό. (Δεν υπάρχει χειρότερος και σκληρότερος εργοδότης από τον εαυτό σου.)

Ανεργία. Όχι επειδή δεν βρίσκω δουλειά. Αλλά επειδή δεν ξέρω που να την ζητήσω.
