The band of the day: Euroboys

And yes here we are! Days running fast and today we hit the Norveigan music-scene again just as I promised. Kåre João Erik Pedersen from "Kåre and the Cavemen" and "Euroboys" have done so much great music and stuff but I will just pick one of the best songs, what I think anyway. Its Filadelfia and the video is fantastic.

Tonight we start record the last dubs of the EP and finish the whole recording tomorrow evening.

But now, please enjoy Filadelfia:

All the best to all you people out there who continue come to check our blog. It means a lot!

Thanks!

Literature Of Today: Bakunin on capitalism

Hey everyone. Today i give you some literature instead of a band. Its from a wise guy called Bakunin.

I know full well that under these conditions that if I were a capitalist, who needs a hundred workers to fertilize my capital, that on employing these workers, all the advantages are for me, all the disadvantages for them. I propose nothing more nor less than to exploit them, and if you wish me to be sincere about it, and promise to guard me well, I will tell them:
``Look, my children, I have some capital which by itself cannot produce anything, because a dead thing cannot produce anything. I have nothing productive without labor. As it goes, I cannot benefit from consuming it unproductively, since having consumed it, I would be left with nothing. But thanks to the social and political institutions which rule over us and are all in my favor, in the existing economy my capital is supposed to be a producer as well: it earns me interest. From whom this interest must be taken - and it must be from someone, since in reality by itself it produces absolutely nothing - this does not concern you. It is enough for you to know that it renders interest. Alone this interest is insufficient to cover my expenses. I am not an ordinary man as you. I cannot be, nor do I want to be, content with little. I want to live, to inhabit a beautiful house, to eat and drink well, to ride in a carriage, to maintain a good appearance, in short, to have all the good things in life. I also want to give a good education to my children, to make them into gentlemen, and send them away to study, and afterwards, having become much more educated than you, they can dominate you one day as I dominate you today. And as education alone is not enough, I want to give them a grand inheritance, so that divided between them they will be left almost as rich as I. Consequently, besides all the good things in life I want to give myself, I also want to increase my capital. How will I achieve this goal? Armed with this capital I propose to exploit you, and I propose that you permit me to exploit you. You will work and I will collect and appropriate and sell for my own behalf the product of your labor, without giving you more than a portion which is absolutely necessary to keep you from dying of hunger today, so that at the end of tomorrow you will still work for me in the same conditions; and when you have been exhausted, I will throw you out, and replace you with others. Know it well, I will pay you a salary as small, and impose on you a working day as long, working conditions as severe, as despotic, as harsh as possible; not from wickedness - not from a motive of hatred towards you, nor an intent to do you harm - but from the love of wealth and to get rich quick; because the less I pay you and the more you work, the more I will gain.''

This is what is said implicitly by every capitalist, every industrialist, every business owner, every employer who demands the labor power of the workers they hire.

Report

And the recording went so very well and we are soon really done with everything. Drums, bass, guitars, vocals are more or less all done. Now some overdubs and some guests will hit the songs. And yes it will be a master piece!

We will give you some more photos and videos from the studiosessions but it will come in a few days. Now our focus are on the work with songs to get them ready for the record. And what will be on the artwork, photos, musicvideos and all that extras who means so much. Have you some idéas just give us a line. We are open for suggestions and will work out what´s the best for the record.

Stay tuned and take care!
