Menace to democracy: The January 6th hearings

Cette semaine, Livo est atomisé par la canicule. Dans sa piaule lyonnaise sous les toits, la température ne descend plus en-dessous de 30°. Alors il tente d'enregistrer la chaleur populaire envers Macron, sans grand succès. Après des micro-trottoirs très réussis avec des personnages ahurissants, Livo découvre que la nouvelle clime du voisin souffle de l'air chaud chez lui... Clairement, Livo n'en a plus pour très longtemps.

A bas le climat politique

ON EVERY TIDE is a wide-ranging and challenging reassessment of the Irish diaspora.  Drawing on the latest ground-breaking research, and his own career-long  engagement with the complexities of Irish identity, Sean Connolly reveals the forces that compelled millions of Irish men and women to abandon their homeland, and explores their new lives in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere.

What emerges is an Irish story, but also a chapter in world history.  Irish emigrants fled a society blighted by poverty and lack of opportunity.  But they also became part of a massive population movement, driven by the requirements of an ever more interconnected  world economy, that transported the adventurous and the desperate to new parts of the globe.  What distinguishes the Irish from tens of millions of other European immigrants is the position they established in their new homes.  Initially treated as a despised and exploited underclass, they created a commanding position, in politics, in the labour movement, and, by the twentieth century, as cultural icons.

From his starting point in the grim realities of Famine and social crisis, Sean Connolly takes the reader forward into the twentieth century, when Ireland itself has become a receiver rather than an exporter of emigrants, and when a reimagined Irishness has become a commodity to be marketed to a global audience.  On Every Tide plays directly into wider, contemporary debates about migration, as well as offering a unique and distinctive view of two hundred years of Irish history.

Fear

A circle forms around two lads
Circle of boys 
Circle of boys
There's gonna be a fight in the playground
Sleeves rolled up
Socks pulled down
Blood flows from one kids nose
But the older boys want more
They want strips torn from uniforms
It's a test of strength
Two boys rolling around in the dust
In the dust...
Embrace

And when a boy grows up he's still the same
He's still the same
But he's a man
And a man is physical
And a man has to put his physical
Body to the test
Body to the test
Against another man
Do you measure up?
Or do ya still have work to do?
Still have work to do...
Embrace

It's hard to trust somebody
It's hard to believe in love
How do you measure love?
But you can trust your body
Push / rip / taste / touch / work your body
And if you work that body
Don't need to trust nobody
Pull the trigger
Run the race
Beat the man
Chase the clock
Aware to God
That's His that was
Throw the spear
Take the glory
Embrace

A man can meet another man
In a bar
On the sportsfield
At his place of work
Or in his own apartment
Or on the internet right now

So Turn / Face / Connect
Embrace

You gotta prove yourself
Understand yourself
Show your strength
Embrace

Now Flex
Look your best
Eye to eye
Embrace

Turn / Face
Man & Woman
Embrace

Embrace, come on 
Embrace, come on
Embrace

The body is real

You gotta love one another


Embracism

Kirin J Callinan - Embracism

Dance music goes toward "constructive" again. Please feel uplifting by ensemble and key modulation. 

Flea Waltz (Flohwalzer) is the one of the most global known piece for piano beginners, has been reinterpreted and reconstructed to a contemporary dance music.

I built the beat by layering synth riffs like future house on the orthodox house music groove, and then, over those, weaved the main melody and counter-melody with synthesizers and brass ensembles.

Furthermore, It’s also worth noting that this dance music breaks away from its extreme reliance on a monotonous bassline and give the harmonies more freedom. And finally, there is a pleasant and exhilarating key modulation.
*Key Modulated from C major / A minor (8B / 8A) to E-flat major / C minor (5B / 5A).

This might have been unthinkable in conventional electronic dance music. However, it could be an important repertoire for DJs to make key transitions in their harmonic mixes.

I hope DJs will make use of this track as a tool to create a DJ mix like anyone have never done before. And most importantly, I hope this track brings not only DJs but also all of you newly discovered joyfulness of electronic dance music.
