Os gregos são fortes

Se o Brasil é neste momento o oposto da Grécia, os atenienses são os cariocas da Europa, com mais barba e mais temperamento.

Eis algo que o Rio de Janeiro, aspirante a centro do Novo Mundo, podia aprender com os gregos: a doce vida das esplanadas em qualquer canto com vista de pedras, bosque, água, céu, como qualquer escadinha, qualquer praça, qualquer cais existe para isso, estar ali, ao ar livre.

... entre mesas de brunch, carrinhos de bebé e bicicletas, a enrolarem os seus cigarros de fumadores-recordistas-da-Europa e estamo-nos-nas-tintas-para-os-alemães.

— Os alemães querem que a gente seja como eles, só trabalho. E a gente diz que não vai ser como eles.

Iain McKell, "New Gypsies"

"Historically despised the new Gypsies are there by choice, not heritage. Unrelated to the Roma, the movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travellers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe - the new gypsies - present-day rural anarchists, living the subversive lifestyle in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans."

New Order - Video 5-8-6 [Extended 22:23 version]

“Video 5 8 6” is a song originally composed as “pap” (as Tony Wilson put it) for the opening night of the Haçienda on May 21, 1982. Parts of this pearl would become the basis for the Power, Corruption & Lies tracks “5 8 6” and “Ultraviolence”, as well as the associated 12-inch single “Blue Monday”.
