<nettime> Rambo Amadeus: Euro-Neuro! |
For some time I have been teasing my few economically literate friends on a possible Grexit & Gre-re-entry for Grece's Euro blues, aka the 'Montenegro solution': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montenegro_and_the_euro In an op-ed in today's issue of Le Monde, that is also, in my view, French economist and EHESS boss Jacques Sapir's take, when he writes that nobody appears to notice that the (next) Greek government _could_ (i) repudiate the entire Greek debt juncto the Troika demands, while at the same time (ii) ordering the Greek Central Bank to issue (in print or in scrip) as many Euros as it needs to keep the wheels of the country's economy moving. Meanwhile, Montenegro's rock star Rambo Amadeus, who already gave us the slogan "Don't Happy, Be Worry!" , is now the official Montenegro entry for the Baku Eurovision Song Contest Festival. His take on all this: Euro-Neuro, with hilarious (English, well, sortof) texts and funky images. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6S-FNLv2jQ Don't Happy, Be Worry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxz0jJz0aZM This went with a nice apocalyptic Live Short Film, Metro Last Light, reminding of Babylon A.D., the cine version of Maurice Dantec's novel Babylon Babies; If you don't get it, it's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=trueview-instream&v=nIKhXPkUpj4 Babylon A.D. trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyhEHKB6cmY Cheerio, p+4D! # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
