“The hardest thing in the world is to simplify your life. It’s so easy to make it complex. The solution may be for a lot of the worlds problems is turn around and take a forward step. You can’t just keep trying to make a flawed system work.”- Yvon Chouinard

“I’m sick and tired of a society — I’m not talking about politics, I’m talking about a society — that is only dealing with symptoms of a problem and not the root cause. Our health-care problems are deeply connected to the environment. Consider breast cancer — you’ve got one in eight American women who are going to get breast cancer, that’s up from one out of 30 right after World War II, so there’s got to be an environmental cause to it. And yet only 3 percent of cancer research funding goes to trying to find the environmental causes. They’re trying to find treatments so they can make money off of it. The same thing goes for our so-called War on Terror. We’re not looking at the root cause of our conflict with the Middle East, resource dependency; we’re treating the symptoms.” – Yvon Chouinard

Black Artist Library sent me an link to Museum, a compilation featuring the Museum Crew (3rd Party, Art&Craft, The Contortionist, The Hermit and Keno 1). If there is truth in beauty, then it takes arms against the sea of trouble and holds it’s own as a well choreographed abstract breaks & sample driven time piece. Best of all, it’s free to me and you. Download the whole thing here.

It might not appear so, but there is a definite aesthetic vision at work, which will hopefully govern the ouevre. In the same way that wearing sandles alters your gait. – Black Arts Library
