Keyser & Shuriken - Newsletter #7

(Brought to you weekly with the kind support of Jah, the almighty and the evil Gorilla.)

Newsflash 23.01.2000.

Dear friends,

Even though our last week had been heavily loaded by bad vibes (arctic weather, angry girlfriends because of too much time spent in the studio, PC system crash one day before remix deadline, Shuriken's parking car crashed on the morning of his last exam, news of Shuriken having to move out of his recent flat) we still managed to stay quite normal by the end of the week. Even more surprisingly we also got that Kispal es a borz remix done in time (Let us know if you would like to hear it).

This week's shiny hours were brought to us last night by the Erik Truffaz Quartet (featuring Nya) (www.eriktruffaz.com). The incredible French jazzmen played approximately two intense, mind bending and fun hours at Fono Music Club. Most of the audience was stunned by their unique combination of hard bop, free jazz, and dj Krust style breakbeats played live. Don't miss your chance to see one of the best jazz bands of today live! They are touring across Europe (from Istambul to Copenhagen) in the next three or so month. Their last album, "Bending New Corners" (out on Blue Note) is also strongly recommended listening by both of us.

We are lucky to welcome members of another great team in Budapest soon. DJs of the Jazzanova are gonna play on our radio's party two weeks from now, and we will have the pleasure to play before them.

Speaking about bad vibes: this weeks reading is a little sample of the crazy atmosphere of the fifties that still haunts in some heads in Hungary. Having to deal with this kind of fuzzy logic on a daily basis can make one paranoid easily, but it can also make living here fun sometimes, if you care to laugh:

"'That's it! Spies never work so that they raise suspicion. Just the opposite. But they are suspicious just because they are not suspicious. Do you get it now, Pelikan?'

The other, with gigantic effort, tries to follow this train of thought.

'I don't understand it. You are telling me that it's suspicious because it's not suspicious.'

'That's it' says Virag smiling.

The heavy wheels are grinding in Pelikan's head.

'But I am not suspicious either and I'm not a spy' he says half-heartedly.

'How do you know? attacks Virag.

Pelikan looks around in dipair.

'Is it possible that I'm a spy?'

'Everything is possible' - says Virag hard. 'You can become many things, Pelikan, if you don't stand steadily on your feet.'"

Peter Bacso - A Tanu (The Witness)
 
The Witness was a banned absurd film-satire about a very simple man (Pelikan) stuck in the inner power games of the Hungarian Communist and Workers' Party. (Awkward translation by Shuriken)

Keep standing steadily on your feet till next week! (Some shaking and grooving IS allowed!)
