Weekend Highlights:

- Polaroid PX Cartridges.
- Almost 450 downloads from “Cromosoma” in 9 days..so nice!
- My American Typewriter vinyls finally at home!! Thanks Pep!
- EHX Freezer looping thru guitar, mic, synths..lovely and funny device.
- DX7 Programming after one year reading tips about how to make it (love the aliasing of this machine, but it´s a nightmare to program manually!).
- Watching “Pola X” from Leos Carax, listening “Chemist” from The Necks.

Polaroids strikes again thanks to the folks from Impossible Project. Just ordered a pair of these for my old 600. (Monochrome cartridges).
Cheaper than 2nd hand overpriced (and outdated) ones .

The wind blew high, the waters raved,
A ship drove on the land,
A hundred human creatures saved
Kneel’d down upon the sand.
Threescore were drown’d, threescore were thrown
Upon the black rocks wild,
And thus among them, left alone,
They found one helpless child.

A seaman rough, to shipwreck bred,
Stood out from all the rest,
And gently laid the lonely head
Upon his honest breast.
And travelling o’er the desert wide
It was a solemn joy,
To see them, ever side by side,
The sailor and the boy.
In famine, sickness, hunger, thirst,
The two were still but one,
Until the strong man droop’d the first
And felt his labors done.
Then to a trusty friend he spake,
“Across the desert wide,
Oh, take this poor boy for my sake!”
And kiss’d the child and died.
(…)
(The Song Of  The Wreck – Charles Dickens)

“There isn’t any symbolism. The sea  is the sea. The old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark are all sharks no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know.” (Ernest Hemingway)

“Who covereth thyself with light as a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits: his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever”. (Bible.Psalm 104:1-8, David)

amb diverses granotes on destaca una palmera,
