Patti Smith Remembers Rachel Corrie, Sings “Peaceable Kingdom”.
"Over 2,000 people packed into the historic Riverside Church in New York on Monday to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Democracy Now!"
Patti Smith read from Bread of Angels, "in which she remembered the U.S. peace activist Rachel Corrie, who was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza in 2003 while trying to protect Palestinian homes from destruction."
Over 2,000 people packed into the historic Riverside Church in New York on Monday to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Democracy Now! The program included a reading by legendary singer Patti Smith from her new memoir Bread of Angels, in which she remembered the U.S. peace activist Rachel Corrie, who was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza in 2003 while trying to protect Palestinian homes from destruction. Corrie inspired Smith’s song “Peaceable Kingdom,” which she performed alongside Tony Shanahan on guitar and her daughter Jesse Smith on piano.
From the beginnig of 1976 on the album "Horses" was moving our bodies and souls over and over again - it was the soundtrack of our life until in November "Radio Ethiopia" hit the streets - another banger of pure energy, rage, poetry and despair.
Patti Smith was the hero of the looming Punk-Era at least for me.
Today she is - as always - protesting against the latest US-war - "Radio Baghdad" was one of the strongest statements against the attack on Iraq 23 years ago - showing solidarity with Palestinians whose history is a long and winding road of pain and tears
commemorating Rachel Corrie who has given her life to the conviction that liberation is possible.
Celebrating 30 years of Democracy Now in the midst of a tsunami of unbelievable hubris - Donald "Very Strongly" Trump" - and the death cult of racist masculinistic supremacy - Pete "Wannabe Warrior" Hegseth - laying waste to everything dear, vulnerable and preservable - be it just because it has no chance in a world of murderous aggression.

Agi: Patti Smith suonerà al Circo Massimo a luglio
AGI - Patti Smith, dopo il successo del tour mondiale dello scorso anno per celebrare 'Horses', torna in Italia per un altro evento speciale: festeggiare insieme al pubblico italiano il suo 80esimo compleanno. L'appuntamento è previsto per il 27 luglio prossimo a Roma, al Circo Massimo. Il concerto è organizzato dal Teatro dell'Opera in collaborazione con Vincenzo Berti e Gianluca Bonanno per Ventidieci. Accompagnata dal Patti Smith Quartet, la cantautrice sarà affiancata dal tastierista e bassista Tony Shanahan, suo collaboratore da oltre trent'anni, e dal chitarrista Jackson Smith, figlio di Patti e da Seb Rochford alla batteria.
Tra i pezzi più celebri che verranno eseguiti non mancheranno 'Horses', 'Easter', 'Dancing Barefoot', 'People Have the Power' e 'Because the Night'.
Nata a Chicago il 30 dicembre 1946, Patti Smith è nota in tutti il mondo come interprete, autrice, artista discografica e visiva. Il suo primo album 'Horses', pubblicato nel '75, è stato inserito nel 2010 nel National Recording Registry della Biblioteca del Congresso dal National Recording Preservation Board. Nel 2005, la cantautrice è stata nominata commendatore dell'Ordine delle Arti e delle Lettere dal ministero della Cultura francese, anche per la sua rielaborazione dell'opera di Arthur Rimbaud e nel 2013 il Bryn Mawr College di Philadelphia le ha conferito la Katharine Hepburn Medal, riconoscimento riservato alle donne che con le loro vite contribuiscono a cambiare il mondo.

The mood is #Indigo
Matik, “Indigo” from Rhythm Science (2004)
Rhythm Science is a print and audio project by Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky that Subliminal kid (as it states right there on the cover), who penned a slim volume, a kind of manifesto/wordscape for electronic music production via #DJ sample culture, and assembled an accompanying CD compilation of tracks full of sounds from the archive of Belgian label #SubRosa that traverses that territory.
The track that first got my attention was a spoken word piece by #PattiSmith over electronic washes of sound. There are also some atmospheric cut-and-paste sample-fests that you’d associate with #DJSpooky. Prominent names such as #BillLaswell and #LeeRenaldo of Sonic Youth appear here, and others I would call ‘genre-famous’ like #Oval and #Seefeel - and a piece by #Debussy with warm crackly vinyl noise, tying it in with the #turntablism theme.
This track by Matik bubbles with suggestions of #dub, feels like #ambient but pulses with rhythm and features repeated melodic phrases, flirts with #ElectronicGlitch but rides on an undercurrent that remains smooth.
