Konono N°1
"These are musicians who left the bush
to settle in the capital and who,
in order to go on keep fulfilling
their social role and make themselves
heard by the ancestors (and, more concretely,
by their fellow citizens)
despite the high level of urban noise,
have had to resort to DIY amplification
of their instruments,
and to megaphones (conical speakers).
This makeshift electrification
has provoked a radical mutation of their sound,
as it has introduced distorsions
which they have integrated to their style"

Caring for Your Introvert
"First, recognize that it's not a choice.
It's not a lifestyle. It's an orientation.
Second, when you see an introvert lost in thought,
don't say "What's the matter?" or "Are you all right?"
Third, don't say anything else, either."

Emily the Strange ...by Cosmic Debris
"Emily is thirteen years old and bad.
Bad meaning good.
She has a Posse of 4 cats:
Miles, Sabbath, NeeChee, and Mystery.
She's downright strange and knows it.
She's anti-cool, a subculture of one."

Poetry and protest
"Laura Bush never deprived us
of the opportunity to sing for milk and brownies
on her turf and bow to the hem of power.
We chose not to.
Our dearest hope was that the Bushes
would cancel the event
for the simple reason
they are in violation of the spirit of our poetry;
in a word, they don't deserve American poetry."
