Inspiration as a collective power - Warmth for Jii
Fate writes weird stories on certain people’s path, like Jii, a self - taught musician on analogue, ambient/dark, drone, experimental noise & Idm tunes. Jii, who’s also a mother of a girl, was diagnosed with stage 3 Non Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2008. It’s a form of cancer, currently into remission, but might return once the cancer cells are active again.
Jii is now able to work and fund a small health insurance by the state of Minnesota. She had to fight with bureaucracy to get one, because during her illness and recovery she was uninsured. From April 1st she is declared homeless.
The formal aspect of society might have failed to help artists like Jii, but the rest - along with peoples’ hearts - can spontaneously create helping groups, with great results.
Artists, in honour of Jii’s work contributed their beautiful tracks to a digital album, as a fundraiser to help Jii with all her difficulties.
Inspiration is something we share, it brings people together and together we have more power.
You can download the album and help Jii, buying it at 7$ or more if you wish.
Released 22 March 2013

“I never denied those rumors because I was offended and didn’t want to offend my friends who were gay,” Damon said, “as if being gay were some kind of f—king disease. It put me in a weird position in that sense.”

The yfrontier music video of the day
Aritst: “Citizens!” Five boys from London, on their debut album produced by Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand under the label of Kitsuné.
Track: “True Romance” an indietronica aspect of contemplating about romance crisis, I’d say the lyric “What kind of minds are these that the gods and the television gave us” describes best the purpose of the song.

“What turns you on sexually?
Renaissance paintings. As a boy, I was browsing pictures with nudes in the encyclopedia and I was fantasizing with classical statues. But when it comes to reality I get turned on by signs of imperfection.”

“Why your career is not international yet?
Probably because I have no manager. I’m not good at PR. Promoting myself is a job I’m not good at.”

“Are you considered to be sexually old-fashioned and conservative?
It depends. I’m not sure if I’m old-fashioned but I like some stereotypes. I like to have a clear perception of the sexes - a man to look like a man and a woman to look like a woman no mater of their sexuality. To me the term “unisex” sounds like a nightmare and I think -thankfully- it’s not modern any more.”

“Some famous photographers, fuck with their models, do you?
No, I never had a sexual contact with a model I have worked with. I’m referring to professional ones. I have and had such relations with people that took part in pictures I’ve taken, but these were my partners or lovers, not professional models. I’m saying this because one might consider anyone who poses for a picture a model . They are too perfect to stimulate me sexually. Knowing that someone is a model makes me lose my sexual interest.”
