The benefits of using a circular polarizing filter.

Love the detail on the terrapin’s shell.

10-08-2009.

NIN’s final tour, 1989-2009, second to last ever NIN concert, at Fort Canning park, Singapore.

Organisation: Very poor, but thanks to Lynne from the Crew who managed to get us in via the rear exit ahead of most priority advance ticket holders (considering I bought our tickets back in April, I had priority entrance tickets)

Concert: After an extended (very extended!) soundcheck, when NIN came onstage, let rip into an awesome, powerful set with the expected crowd surging and moshing. A whole new generation of people learned the meaning of Ultra-Violence. Everyone (or according to some, just me and a few others! ) really got into the traditional, heavy moshing that needs to be unleashed at a concert of this level of sound and fury. And the sound quality was truly excellent, and beautifully loud and crisp.

Just fucking awesome, and great to finally see them live, close and very personal. Still counting the bruises.

Trapped – in my own head.

“Medication”

Medication for us all, it is a new way
& we’re gonna take it cause we love it
Don’t you know?

Is this the dose you’ve been dreamin’ of?
A revelation from a gun
Doesn’t matter
Overtaken, mine was yours, now overthrown

Just copulation in a song
I’m so contagious, can i cum?
In the new way
All of us cast asides became what has become

Medication for us all
You think you know me, well you’re wrong
Doesn’t matter
All of us cast aside became what has become.

A metaphor for many things…

Q: How many iPods do you have to sell to buy one of these?

Billy Bragg – NPWA, 2003.

I grew up in a company town
And I worked real hard ‘’til that company closed down
They gave my job to another man
On half my wages in some foreign land
And when I asked how could this be
Any good for our economy?
I was told nobody cares
So long as they make money when they sell their shares

Can you hear us? Are you listening?
No power without accountability!

I lost my job, my car and my house
When ten thousand miles away some guy clicked on a mouse
He didn’t know me, we never spoke,
He didn’t ask my opinion or canvass for my vote
I guess its true, nobody cares
‘Til those petrol bombs come spinning through the air
Gotta find a way to hold them to account
Before they find a away to snuff our voices out

Can you hear us? Are you listening?
No power without accountability!

The ballot box is no guarantee that we achieve democracy
Our leaders claim their victory when only half the people have spoken
We have no job security in this global economy,
Our borders closed to refugees but our markets forced open

The World Bank says to Mexico,
We’ll cut you off if you don’t keep your taxes low
But they have no right to wield that sword
‘Cos they take their orders from the chairman of the board

IMF, WTO,
I hear these words just every place I go
Who are these people? Who elected them?
And how do I replace them with some of my friends?

Can you hear us? Are you listening?
No power without accountability!
