Zvuci

 

I (posao)

Izlazim sa posla ujutru

Vrapci

Radnici guraju metalna kolica koja odjekuju između zgrada

Avion u daljini

Šum sistema za provetravanje

Čovek prolazi

Čistina i vrane

Rajsferšlus od ranca tiho zveči i radnici na gradilištu

Čujem sopstveno disanje i misli

Bus dolazi i šklopoće.

 

 

II (na selu)

 

 

Mačka prede 

 

Duva vetrić 

 

Pas laje u daljini 

 

Boško u kući nešto čačka 

 

Auto na putu 

 

Zunzara proleće 

 

Kamenčići pod cipelama.

 

 

 

III (opet posao)

 

 

Kiša pada na kišobran

Jakna šuška

Šljapkanje velikih cipela

Mašine iz zgrada bruje

 

Kola se parkiraju

Prolazi žena sa kesom

Voz 

Vrane.

Nova srpska scena & co: 2000-2010. demo pesme

Jarboli, SKC 2006.

Demo snimci koje smo skidali sa MySpace-a, Soulseek-a i Last.fm-a, kao i sa promo diskova samih bendova i drugara, za koje sam mislio da ih nemam mnogo, a gle, bilo je za 2h (a i više). Down memory lane... neki od mojih omiljenih, poput inja i Elektrolaste, više ne postoje, a drugi su se transformisali u nove bendove (tipa Krš u VIS Limunada), a treći poput Jarbola, Repetitora, Stuttgart Online, S.U.S.-a, Kralja Čačka idr. još uvek rade super stvari. Dosta bendova je vezano za Horkeškart/Horkestar i Ex>Misha-u, kao i kompilaciju "I Want To Believe - imaginarni album" iz 2005 ili 2006.

Odlučio sam se za naziv "Nova srpska scena", koji je skovao magazin Popboks, jer mi je sinonim za to vreme, iako znam da nije savršen i da dosta bendova ne pripada toj "sceni" (i dosta su stariji, poput npr. Presinga i Slobodana Tišme). Mnogo bendova sam i upoznao zahvaljujući Popboks-u koji sam zaista voleo.

Da ne zvučim patetično, fakat je da dosta mesta na kojima smo mogli da čujemo ove bendove više ne postoje: Akademija, Šipražije, Žica, SKC DNK (Drugi Novi Klub), i drugi. Kao sećanje, ali i deljenje te muzike, evo jednog online koncerta u vidu liste.

Većina snimaka su demo, uz par živih i sa proba (ako ne i namerno lo-fi). Svi snimci su između 2000. i 2010. Sem Monofonika i Ž/Buke (HR) i Grofa Đuraza (BiH), jer nisam mogao da odolim, svi ostali su iz Srbije. Počinje akustično, zatim ide ka indie/alt rock-u, panku, post-rock-u, a završava u elektronici.

Od davidove zvezde do gvozdenog krsta... ili jedno nedeljno popodne u Beogradu.

Od davidove zvezde do gvozdenog krsta... ili jedno nedeljno popodne u Beogradu.

Krenem sa koleginicom po Dorćolu, spremamo kombinovanu turu o uličnoj umetnosti i jevrejskoj istoriji i nasleđu. Prvo sam pomislio da o jevrejima u Beogradu ne znam puno, ali sam se brzo razuverio (ili podsetio) - poznate zgrade, spomenici, aktivistički projekti, muzika, ljudi. Puno priča. Nažalost, većinom u prošlom vremenu. Prisećam se priče o pradedi i anonimnoj jevrejskom porodici u podrumu.

Po završetku te probne ture, krećem kući. U 31 vidim neo naci par, ona sa šalom FK Rad, a on sa iron cross tetovažom na vratu, verovatno oboje navijači. Onda na Slaviji vidim još jednog neo nacistu, bez simbola ali prepoznatljivog istreniranom oku. Hejterskim pogledom zuri u familiju tamnoputih ljudi, stranaca, koji isto čekaju bus, oni ga ne primećuju. Deca se igraju. Posmatram posmatrača koju u ruci gnječi upaljač dok mu ne pobele zglobovi. Par paničnih scenarija mi se razvija po glavi. Srećom, stiže bus, oni odlaze, on ostaje. Saginje se kao da vezuje patike, uzima bačenu cigaretu koja je bila na istom mestu gde su oni stajali, i puši. Stiže 47 i odlazim.

Šaljem koleginici sms o ovome i ona kaže "Pitam se da li ti ljudi ikad čitaju istoriju ili gledaju filmove o WWII???". Kapiram da da, ali sa selektivnim pamćenjem. A svi ovi koje sam video su baš klinci.

Pričam kevi o tome i ona ne veruje, kaže da ne zna za te grupacije. U fazonu, to nije Beograd koji znam. Ekipa sa kojom sam izlazio tokom faksa je znala da razlikuje neonaciste po tetovažama, simbolima, muzici i bojama pertli na martinkama. Jaz generacija?

Eto malo materijala za razmišljanje i kontre onim samo-obmanjujućim i naivnim izjavama kako su Srbi ovakvi ili onakvi ("nikada nije bilo antisemitizma", "nismo rasisti", i sl). Imamo slučajeva koji "nas" pokazuju u oba svetla. Ako već generalizujemo, hajde da budemo iskreni - nismo baš ni nevini. Šifra: Milan Nedić, Staro sajmište, današnje "patriotske" neo naci organizacije, kontinuiran odnos prema Romima... Treba nam više "Pravednika među narodima" i malo boljeg pamćenja.

A o neo naci navijačima rada (Ultra Force) pročitajte nešto više ovde: http://mondo.rs/a984270/Sport/Fudbal/Ko-su-United-Force-Kad-utihnu-majmunski-krici-ostaju-NACI-simboli.html

P.S. Jako sam srećan zbog ovoga, imena par meni bliskih ljudi su bili na njihovim javnim listama "nepodobnih" (uključujući i moj nekadašnji DJ tim jer smo puštali na jednom LGBT događaju): https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/aug/29/stormfront-neo-nazi-hate-site-murder-internet-pulled-offline-web-com-civil-rights-action

a little bit of self-promotion (Kerozeena & The Star-children)

(published originally on Last.fm in 2010, additions 03/2016)

Joining Last.fm, I found group descriptions like ''actually, I just wanted my own group'' funny. In April this year, I was tempted by the possibility of making one of my own, so I tried for it to be as reasonable as possible. Apart from procrastination, the group has a purpose of promoting and informing about my ''d.j.'' activities. The list of people I played with, announcements of future events, concerts, interesting links etc, all in one place: http://www.last.fm/group/star%C4%8Dajldova+%C5%A1arenica
(now defunct, as everything else on this new version of Last.fm...)

Also, a good opportunity to say something about my ''d.j.'' experience:

It all started when a couple of friends - Paspa & Strippy (members of a DJ team Riffs), one night at Indie-Go at Kalemegdan, proposed my ex, Tazza, and me to play in a club called Dollar in October 2005. Anecdote: Tazza passed out hearing the news. I started with a pseudonym The Star-Child with nights dedicated to glam rock (everything from Electric Warrior to Velvet Goldmine soundtrack, until everybody become fed up), and then Tazza took over and we played Manchester nights dedicated to Mancunian bands, as well as a couple of variations: one Joy Division special and a night dedicated to Steven Patrick Morrissey and Ian Curtis. It was the beginning of The Star-children. And I have become known as "Zvezdan".

After two months of our part-time hobby and ''job'', Xenia appeared - proposing to make a night dedicated to Croatian electro pop/trash/clash group Lollobrigida. The night was held on 24th November, one week after the proposed concert, named Elektro Centrala ("Power Station", "Kraftwerk"), and that was the first Kerozeena & The Star-children collaboration. Later on, during the winter, spring and start of the summer 2006 in club $ we played Manchester, Igranka: muzika njihove mladosti (Party: the music of their youth, 50s & 60s dance night), Kako smo preživeli TURBO! alternativna domaća scena '90-tih (Turbo! or how we survived turbo folk - Serbian 90s alternative scene)...

Our musical style became a mix of new wave, novi val (Yugoslavian new wave), post-punk and synthpop. That was our playlist (with more or less variations) in clubs Povetarac (Breeze, 2006), Akademija (Academy, where we had our regular night in the small club - Mali klub, 2006-7), Šipražje (Thicket, 2007-8), Letnja Šikara (Summer Underbrush, 2008), once in Hector and Underworld (2008), Supernatural festival (2008), kafe Šikarica (cafe Small Thicket, 2009) and Jelen pivo live festival (2009).

We also made an international NEW WAVE - NOVI VAL night at Akademija club, night devoted to 50s & 60s music and dancing at club Letnja Šikara and played many times at Šikarica. Once at Šikarica, when we had the whole club literally packed with people, a neighbor reported us to the police, which came and ended the party. I tried to play smart and while they were going away, slowly started playing Paraf's line "nijedne nema bolje od naše policije" (there's none better than our police), but was silenced by the barman and my colleagues. 

More anecdotes: we organized a new year's eve at $ 2005/06, where our main security guy was an enormous dude who introduced himself as Mrvica (Crumb). Also in $ we had many encounters with skinheads (since the club's previous incarnation was their place, as I've heard), who were not actually making problems, just asking for a football hymn every time and thinking that Joy Division were nazi fans. Still, we were intimidated every time, and once, after most of the club's visitors remained outside drinking upon encountering skinheads inside, a friend Vuk heard about it and caring about us, approached the skinheads with words "Hey dudes, you're scaring everyone off, let's go outside and grab a cheaper beer!" Luckily, he knew a couple of them and it all ended... happily?!

And now - collaborations! With a colleague and a friend grof Krišćanski Takač I (count K.T. I), Kerozeena and Starchild played three nights called "Mutant Pop" at Akademija club during the end of 2006 and beginning of 2007. With Brother Ray, another friend (who later played in a DJ team Betty Boops), Starchild made a night dedicated to The Velvet Underground before the Lou Reed concert in Belgrade in 2006. Other colleagues include: Vienna DJ A Nurse Called Mike (Visum Wien, Vienna Decay, Crazy Hospital), Starchild's civil army friend Dawngreeter (Cheap Velvet, Debris-Files), forum friend and a musician Mali Robot (bands Ex-Misha, Grupa Kao Takva, Čelik Promet), friends Cheshire Cat & Coin-Operated Boy (at Ventil), Blaxploited (at club Red Room), and Gypsy Wizard (band Dažd, at Ventil).

 
Also, we had our DJ set before and after concerts of several bands, such are Grupa Kao Takva, Krš (at Akademija), Stuttgart Online and Multietnička Atrakcija (at DNA SKC). Once, at Letnja Šikara, we played at an LGBTQ event, as part of accompanying Belgrade Pride events.

As time passed, Tazza dropped from team and fell in love with Ariel Pink, Kerozeena and Starchild tried making some extra cash by playing in a more commercial club called Tramvaj (Tram), testing their subverting techniques (and nerves) with the mainstream-orientated playlists adding some odd bands or/and lyrics, but it just didn't work. The group is now on a temporary hiatus. We're re-forming for weddings, crazy parties, concerts, house parties, festivals, bar nights...

Starchild was playing from time to time at bife Ventil (buffet Vent Pipe, 2009-10) mixed electrical and punk nights, circus punk and dark cabaret, while Tazza, apart from participating at multimedia poets' events called Pesničenje, played in a pub Brod (Ship) indie, lo-fi and new weird america music.
