Sommaire #57 LA MATIÈRE ET L’ESPRIT Un doigt vers le ciel La religion a au moins le mérite de montrer que l’homme n’est pas maître, qu’il doit obéir à plus fort que lui, et qu’il serait fou de tout raisonner. Mais la religion ne s’arrête pas à cette hauteur. Quand les prophètes et les docteurs prétendent posséder un peu de cette puissance supérieure pour dominer les hommes, ils renversent notre faiblesse vis- à-vis du Tout-Puissant – ou de la nature – en infériorité. Ils imposent les saints parmi les leurs et font peur à la foule. Ils interdisent, sans en avoir le droit, puisqu’ils s’appuient sur la misère métaphysique pour imposer l’ordre politique. L’homme est misérable, c’est un fait. Mais ce n’est pas un crime d’être infidèle, ce que déclarent les docteurs en usant de leur orthodoxie pour condamner. Que signifient donc leurs maisons de Dieu dont les clochers et les minarets dépassent les toits ? La réussite d’une carte postale ? Un hommage à la beauté ? Des remerciements au Grand Être ? La supériorité du culte sur l’inculte ? Un doigt vers le ciel ? Un index accusateur, un coup de knout.

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's influence (loud and sloppy garage-blues) was still felt throughout the country, as proven by the Immortal Lee County Killers in Alabama with The Essential Fuck-Up Blues (2001); the Black Keys in Ohio with The Big Come Up (2002); and by the Kills in Florida, playing the version popularized by the White Stripes on No Wow (2005). The Fiery Furnaces (4), formed by Matthew Friedberger and Eleanor Friedberger, siblings from Chicago who relocated to New York, exhibited a versatile and multi-faceted style on Gallowsbird's Bark (2003). Anti- crooning vocals and spiked guitar riffs as well as wildly unstable dynamics evoked the Rolling Stones at their most drunken/deranged, or Captain Beefheart's Magic Band fronted by Janis Joplin. At the same time the exuberant neglect of their arrangements was reminiscent of Pere Ubu. Blueberry Boat (2004) stretched out into longer and more ambitious songs, collages of genres and tours de force of arrangement (including electronic keyboards) that were meant to create a new form of musical theater. That form came to life on Rehearsing My Choir (2005), a work structured as a dialogue between an older woman and a younger one over a substratum of eccentric and cacophonous sounds.
