Ben Swanson - Secretly Canadian - Cinq digressions

Ben Swanson - Secretly Canadian

"Cinq digressions"

Il y a quelques années, un copain américain nous avait fait découvrir les deux labels siamois de Bloomington, Secretly Canadian et Jagjaguwar, en nous envoyant des albums de groupes et artistes inconnus chez nous comme Early Day Miners, Ativin, Songs: Ohia, June Panic, Sarah White, Drunk, Manishevitz... Quelques années plus tard on découvre toujours autant de signatures épatantes chez eux,  par exemple Julie Doiron chez Jagjaguwar et Windsor for the Derby chez Secretly Canadian. Voilà qui donnait envie de demander à un des gérant de ces labels, Ben Swanson de Secretly Canadian, de jouer avec notre jeu des cinq digressions.

Les cinq mots choisis par Ben Swanson :
Turbulence
Technology
Atitlan
Anthony Kulig
Douchey



Turbulence
I'm currently on a plane to Seattle, WA... I've been flying - or rather a passenger - since I was 2, but I've noticed as I get older and older I become more and more petrified of flying... not of some nutcase hijacking the plane, but some weird act of nature that decides large hunks of metal aren't supposed to be shooting across the sky, so she retaliates with a huge burst of wind, turning the plane over, upside down and into the ground below... At 26, I'm a fucking petrified geezer...


Technology
I love that some technologies, portable technology actually makes certain things easier... and not having a cell phone means I don't have to talk on the phone when I leave my home... suckers...


Atitlan
Possibly the most beautiful place in the world... Not a day goes by when I don't think about it.... A place where the community surrounds the square to watch the worst basketball players on the face of the planet as an auctioneer does the play-by-play and his daughter blasts the most triumphant epic jams... Where roosters and dogs share the streets and little boys sell you doughnuts... And the lake is your bath.....


Anthony Kulig
I hate shout-outs but he does some of the most striking work I've ever seen... Please look into it....


Douchey
It wins the adjective of the year award... Plus it's just fun to say... Dooooouuussshhheeee...
