Re: George W. Bush and the immanentization of the eschaton: "I say to you againe, doe not call up Any that you can not put downe; by the Which I meane, Any that can in Turne call up Somewhat against you, whereby your Powerfullest Devices may not be of use. Ask of the Lesser, lest the Greater shal not wish to Answer, and shal commande more than you." -- H P Lovecraft

'My definition of a diva, at this point, is anyone that sits down to piss. I mean, really. It's such a ridiculously overused word. Every stupid magazine in England has their list of divas. They put poor Maria Callas on the same list with all these horrible singers. Any bitch that stands up there and wants attention is a diva, no matter how wretched she is.' - diamanda galas

2007 YEAR END LISTS

"when I started to make music, I found it sad when people were too stuck in a genre, where I think a human living in our time and age, who wants to be truthful, can't possibly be just one style. I guess I look at styles as more as an outfit that you put on, so you can, you know, wear a bikini or a builder's overall and you're still the same person. I guess in that sense, I'm quite an old-school romantic that thinks the heart and emotion of the music is what matters and that is what I listen out for, not the style. The characteristics and virtues I most cherish are when a music-maker can express an all-round character with integrity, a complete universe that thrives on its own. When it elevates above all styles." -BJ�RK
