Dewey, I'm in Ajoblanco!






"Acudí al Niño del Elche, última pista del flamenco vivo sobre la Tierra y, por consiguiente, de aquel rancio carné de identidad cultural a lunares que tantos dolores de cabeza quitaba y ponía, para que intentara explicarme (acompañado de un té) por qué nuestro cacho de la península ibérica no merece ser definido ni por un trap que nunca nos ha pertenecido ni por un flamenco que ya dejó de pertenecernos." 


No se me da muy bien ésta mierda del marketing y las relaciones públicas, pero Ajoblanco ha revuelto éste mes y ha publicado una entrevista y unas fotos hechas por mí al gran Niño de Elche con el potencial para cambiar vuestras vidas por siempre jamás o, como mínimo, enseñaros de una puta vez qué es el puñetero trap, además de trazar nociones sobre el lobby del flamenco, Enrique Morente-gate, la no-identidad española, el delirio como marca nacional, la sociedad del miedo, comunismo, libertarismo, anarcocapitalismo, el Elche industrial y muchas cosas más acompañadas de té.



Todas las fotografías tomadas el 25 de junio de 2017 en Barcelona, España. Gracias a Paco Contreras, a Pepe Ribas, a Fernando Mir, a Marta Bassols y a Ajoblanco por ser lo máximo.

Y gracias a Miquel Molina de La Vanguardia por sacar la entrevista como nota a pie de página de la muerte de Anita Pallenberg. Si supiera lo que significa para mí salir por vez primera en tal diario debajo de Mick Jagger y Keith Richards, me hubiera tenido que cobrar o algo.

Sam Nike/Ode to Sam Pt. 1





"Life is a matter of a miracle that is collected over time by moments, flabbergasted to be in each other's presence. The world is an exam to see if we can rise into direct experience. Our eyesight is here as a test to see if we can see beyond it. Matter is here as a test for our curiosity. Doubt is here as an exam for our vitality. Thomas Mann wrote that he would rather participate in life than write 100 stories. Giacometti was once run down by a car, and he recalled falling into a lucid faint, a sudden exhilaration, as he realized that at last something was happening to him. An assumption develops that you cannot understand life and live life simultaneously. I do not agree entirely. Which is to say I do not exactly disagree. I would say that life understood is life lived. But the paradoxes bug me, and I can learn to love and make love to the paradoxes that bug me. And on really romantic evenings of self, I go salsa dancing with my confusion. Before you drift off, don't forget. Which is to say, remember. Because remembering is so much more a psychotic activity than forgetting. Lorca said that the iguana will bite those who do not dream. And as one realizes that one is a dream figure in another person's dream, that is self awareness."

Timothy Levitch on Waking Life (2001), as recommended by Sam Jam and because nobody in the entire universe dignifies a gigantic paper Nike shoe like she does.
