Getting out of virtual

Dear friends,

Thank you for all the support/impatience/distress e-mails you sent to the Club these last months because our blog wasn’t updated. So I would like as an answer to share some personal reflections.

The actual reason why this website has been asleep for almost three months is that I am just coming back from a trip into the centre of the Old Continent, and it was an opportunity to get free from this mental prison called Internet.

By the way, during this vacancy, I had the chance to spend few days in Wien the majestic, and beyond my amazement for this city, I noticed one thing there. When the night starts to fall, it is stunning to see such crowds of well-dressed people walking to opera, theatre or concerts. I really saw a developed culture of “arts on stage”.

Yet, we believe that in these times of all digital (which you can’t touch…) and all virtual, it is a revolutionary act to go out and attend to some live performance. Live is life! Virtual progress abolishes time and space? Let’s reinstate time and space! Instead of zapping 8600 mp3 on i-tunes, let’s take some time to go and see. Communion rather than consumption! A ritual works only if you take part in it, magical versus virtual.

So, dear friends, no the Lutetia Dandy Club isn’t dead, and we exhort you to live in the real world! Though too constant updates could imply an addiction to virtual, we will go on posting here but following a chaotic schedule as usual!

Solblot : Sacrifice au Soleil

" Solblot was formed in south of Sweden during spring 2003. The music is principally based on the north european folk tradition, with some experimental elements.

The instruments we use are mainly acoustic guitar, accordion and different kinds of percussion, but also other acoustic instruments such as cow horn, bagpipe etc.

Conceptually Solblot has a concentration towards Swedish nature- and national romantics. With simple means we want to portray a kind of musical straight forwardness and devotion before a polished and perfected presentation. The music it self is a visualisation of the tale and myth of Scandinavia which is coloured by nostalgia which by necessity puts its marks on that which has been. "

Only one day is left
Only one day
We are leaving the others
We're going away
Today we all steal
Animals we are
Possession is lost
Our souls are from the wild
And wings to reach the sky
Let the sun fall into the ocean,
Let the earth erupt in flame
It is enough to have the strength
And knowledge
To raise our dream machines
Into the sky
Let them sleep who do not know
The final day is here
The very last
And we leave at dawn
Millions of machines on nitroglycerin
Thunder in us
There is no force no money and no power
To stop us now and change our fate
Before we rise
Now every problem is destroyed
We raise our hands and bodies to the peak
Into the Universe - towards the stars we go
Sending machines up to the sky

[Chorus]
Machines we are sending to the skies
Above us all
And leave behind those who don't know
Of the final day
We leave in sleep those who don't know
(and) we leave at dawn
We are driven by the B-machine
(Wild B-machine - that never stops)

[Lutetia Ciné Club] La Grande Illusion

Film de Jean Renoir, 1937

"Par certains côtés, cette guerre de 1914 était encore une guerre de messieurs, des gens bien élevés, j'ose presque dire une guerre de gentilshommes."

Ces mots du réalisateur résument bien l'esprit de ce film, témoignage de la fin d'une Europe emprunte de valeurs aristocratiques.

Commandant von Rauffenstein:
-"Je ne sais pas qui va gagner cette guerre, mais je sais qu'elle sera la fin des Rauffenstein et des Boïledieu..."
Capitaine de Boïledieu:
-"Peut-être le monde n'a-t-il plus besoin de nous..."

They're making the last film

They say that it's the best

And we all helped make it

It's called "The Death of the West"

The kids from Fame will all be there

Free Coca-Cola for you

And Eurodisney is here

Just for me and you

The death of the west

They're making the last film

They say that it's the best

And we all helped make it

It's called "The Death of the West"

A star has risen on northern skies

And on that star we'll be crucified

And the chains of gold around this world

They're ruled by those who lie

The death of the west
