All life is a mystery,
All things come to he who waits
All things just a twist of fate
It’s just a state of mind
All your time is not your own
It’s real hard to find out why
It’s real hard to say good-bye
To move on down the line...
Both your eyes wide open
You see the shape I’m in
It wasn’t of my choosing
It’s only bones and skin
And I will plead no contest
If loving you’s a crime
So go on and find me guilty
Just one more fucking time
All your life is in your head
All you dreams are in your sleep
And if your dreams are hid too deep
They’re just a waste of time
When you try to chase the dream
You never seem to know the time
You never recognize the signs
And nothing’s what it seems
Both your eyes wide open
You see the shape I’m in
It wasn’t of my choosing
It’s only…

Motörhead - One More Fucking Time

Je ne connaissais pas son album solo. Du chouette blues. Merci !

@sinehebdo je savais même pas qu’il était mort le mois dernier. Je l’ai appris en achetant le diplo ce mois-ci.
ça me fait penser au titre du bouquin de Jackie Berroyer
« On ne se voit plus qu’aux enterrements, heureusement il y en a souvent » - ( Le Cherche Midi, 2007 )

Lors d’une interview à la radio le 15/07, la veille de la projection à Dunkerque, Nolan disait (en gros, je n’arrive pas à trouver un podcast, je ne sais même pas sur quelle radio c’était, mais je suis sure de l’avoir entendu) « "Dunkerque", c’est une histoire anglaise, qui se passe en France et qui a nécessité un budget Hollywoodien. » Pas surprenant donc que l’on parle peu des français dans le film.

The Dunkirk spirit: how cinema is shaping Britain’s identity in the Brexit era | Film | The Guardian

You can’t blame Christopher Nolan for Brexit. The director was halfway through making Dunkirk, his new war epic, when the EU referendum took place last June. But if the leave campaign had wanted to make a rousing propaganda movie to stir the nation, it couldn’t have picked a better subject matter. Dunkirk has got it all: Britain standing alone against the world, our manufacturing superiority prevailing, the nation coming together – all in a literal effort to get out of Europe. If he had got the film together a little earlier, perhaps Nigel Farage wouldn’t have needed to cite Independence Day in his morning-after victory speech.

The Dunkirk analogy has already been trotted out by leave campaigners, of course. Last February, for example, three months before she (wrongly) claimed that Britain would be powerless to prevent Turkey joining the EU, Tory minister Penny Mordaunt wrote an opinion piece for the Daily Telegraph titled “The spirit of Dunkirk will see us thrive outside the EU”. “In our long island history, there have been many times when Britain has not been well-served by alignment with Europe,” she wrote. “When Britain stood alone in 1940 after the defeat at Dunkirk, we were cut off and ridiculed. True leadership sometimes does feel isolating. Yet we have never suffered for it. We are resourceful; we are well connected; our brand is strong in the world.”

Never mind that Britain didn’t actually stand alone at that precise point during the war. Or that Winston Churchill favoured “indissoluble” union with an as-yet undefeated France. Or that by standing together with our European neighbours over the past 40 years, we have avoided another Dunkirk. This is the Brexiter version of British identity in a nutshell: proudly isolated, independent, not European, and “strong in the world”. And to be clear, this is primarily English identity we are talking about, given that a majority in Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain.

Unearthing New York’s Past Through Maps : The New Yorker
►http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2014/04/unearthing-new-yorks-past-through-maps.html

Last week, the New York Public Library released twenty thousand maps from its extensive collection, which includes more than four hundred thousand sheets and twenty thousand books and atlases, as free, high-resolution digital downloads.

In announcing the newly accessible maps, the N.Y.P.L explained that the holding includes more than a thousand maps of New York City from the seventeenth century to the twentieth century, “which detail transportation, vice, real estate development, urban renewal, industrial development and pollution, political geography among many, many other things.” Maps like these can be used to help historians visualize phenomena that have shaped the city. For example, they show how ethnic enclaves shifted as Italian, Jewish, and Chinese immigrants traded places in lower Manhattan or how Manhattan’s shoreline has grown outward, as a result of infill and real-estate speculation, creating new parts of the city where before there was only water.
