nfo:

Tripped out bluesy-krautrock band from Switzerland. Relatively unknown due to his short career, this quartet recorded one album called "Forget your dream" (1971) for stoned-propulsive-sulfurous compositions, including heavy-psych guitars, crazy Hammond organs. This obscurity has been recently published with bonus tracks on "Long Hair".

Carte

« Une carte n’est pas le territoire », a dit Alfred Korzybski
Les civilisations inventent leur propre représentation du Monde. Support d’apprentissage de la navigation, les cartes à bâtonnets polynésiennes permettaient aux piroguiers de mémoriser les courants marins et les îles (représentées par les coquillages). Celle que j’ai dessiné s’en inspire, même si elle est totalement fantaisiste. Une navigateur océanien la trouverait probablement absurde, si tant est qu’il y ait encore de nos jours des gens qui sachent lire ce type de carte.
Et pourtant, en la dessinant, j’eus l’impression un moment de me perdre doucement dans le clapotement paisible des vagues, le chant envoûtant des piroguiers…

« Ho-e a-na… Ho-e a-na... »

When you really are yourself,
nothing can go wrong.
No matter what you take,
you will never be you,
if you follow the rules.
Can't you see that you are not the only one
(Break it, break your social system)
Got you give it up to change it all
(Break it, break your social system)

See you at the club,
holding on to your old life,
as if it is was golden years of joy.
Wish you understood,
you are really free.
No matter what you take,
you never be you,
if you follow the rules.
Cant you see that you are not the only one.

+ [Babe, you're not the only one]
Got to give it up to change it all.

Cant you see that you are not the only one.

Got to give it up to change it all.
+ (Break it, break your social system)

[Babe, you got to change it all]

Just because... actually was mentioning the great Brother Noland, who now does weekly slack key shows, Jorma/Fur Peace Ranch style. This is his 1990 hit (in the Hawaiian islands). Sort of Pacific style reggae with twist of traditional Hawaiian. Fun song:

Big Ship

"Act patiently like the fishes in the sea, you got to hold on!"

Atoms and Ashes by Serhii Plokhy review – why another nuclear disaster is almost inevitable

The Guardian

A grim account of the downhill slide of atomic power since its heyday in the 1950s illustrates why it can never be the solution to global heating.

Once hailed as a source of electricity that would be too cheap to meter, atomic power has come a long way since the 1950s – mostly downhill. Far from being cost-free, nuclear-generated electricity is today more expensive than power produced by coal, gas, wind or solar plants while sites storing spent uranium and irradiated equipment litter the globe, a deadly radioactive legacy that will endure for hundreds of thousands of years. For good measure, most analysts now accept that the spread of atomic energy played a crucial role in driving nuclear weapon proliferation.

Then there are the disasters. Some of the world’s worst accidents have had nuclear origins and half a dozen especially egregious examples have been selected by Harvard historian Serhii Plokhy to support his thesis that atomic power is never going to be the energy saviour of our imperilled species. (...)

“Nuclear power is too costly and it takes too long to build a reactor and it is inherently unsafe not only for technological reasons but also because of the risk of human error.” (...)

[T]he nuclear industry has gone past its spring and summer years and should be allowed to reach a useful but limited autumn before it is quietly forgotten as a dark global experiment that should not be repeated.

‘Atoms and Ashes: From Bikini Atoll to Fukushima’ by Serhii Plokhy is published by Allen Lane

Scientists discover more than 90% of #GreatBarrierReef #coral studied in 2022 was bleached

source: https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/climate/scientist-great-barrier-reef-coral-bleached-b2076952.html

More than 90% of Great Barrier Reefcoral surveyed this year was bleached, Australian #government scientists disclosed Tuesday in a new report.

"This is heartbreaking, this is deeply troubling, it shows that our (Great) Barrier Reef really is in very serious #trouble indeed”, said Simon Bradshaw, Director of Research at the Climate Council.

Bleaching is a phenomenon caused by global #warming, but this is the reef’s first bleaching event during a La Niña #weather pattern, which is associated with cooler #Pacific #Ocean temperatures.
