Never le nkemise

"The Buckingham Warrior, a tale inspired by Gary Baseman's father Ben Baseman who survived the holocaust, fighting the Nazi invasion in Ukraine's birch tree forests for almost 4 years. Baseman and Director David Charles transformed his father's harsh reality into a whimsical story of survival and hope, which was animated by Peter Markowski and scored by South-African duo Die Antwoord.
This video was created on the occasion of the exhibition Gary Baseman: The Door Is Always Open, organized by the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles.

Song of the day!

Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains

Light up with me my dear,
Light up.
Under stormy night, tell nobody.

My brother where do you intend to go tonight?
I heard that you missed your connecting flight,
to the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee.

You're ever welcome with me any time you like,
Let's drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes,
So no one gets worried, no.
So no one gets worried, no.

But Sean don't get callous,
I'm sure it'll be fine.
I love you, I love you,
Oh brother of mine.

In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.

Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.

Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
No.

Song of the day


Oh, I need a witness
To see the mess I’ve made
There’s a broken lampshade
Ashtrays
Burnt floors
Beds unmade

Are you sleeping? If you are,
Do you dream of what I’m doing?
To you, undo you
I’m through with you
Until I need a round of--

Every time I spend myself
It never runs too low
I can’t escape my need for

Sex and violence
Never let you see them
Hand in hand
And one is just the other
The softest touch is
Deeper than the ocean
Give it to me faster
Feel it, feel it
Sex and violence
Ooh it’s gonna make you cry

Oh, I was a real man
Stealing all their trade
I was strong and self-made
Well-paid
So groomed
Persuasive
You were walking home that night
Too kind to be elusive
Where do you live?
What’ll you give?
Who are you with?
And how you getting home?

Does anybody know right now
Exactly where you are?
A step inside’s a step too far

Sex and violence
Never let you see them
Hand in hand
And one is just the other
The softest touch is
Deeper than the ocean
Give it to me faster
Feel it, feel it
Sex and violence
Ooh it’s gonna make you cry

Sex and violence
Hit me with a love that
Burns so bright
And one is just the other
The sweetest taste is
Never gonna leave you
Even when it hurts you
Breathe in, breathe in
Sex and violence
Ooh, it’s gonna make you cry
