If Only I Could Hibernate Original soundtrack to the film by Zoljargal Purevdas | Buda Musique | This film is a cry from the heart for Mongolia perceived through the harsh daily life of a family in Ulaanbaatar: the abandoned yurt neighborhoods, the daily fight to survive the winter, the pollution of the coldest capital in the world, the question of equal opportunities, but also social issues such as the rural exodus and the gap between the nomadic presence and urban planning. | * | 1:03:28 (Pop-up) |

Thanks again for introducing us to them, and back announcing their show.
Think they’ll be coming to Flushing Music Hall in the fall. We’ll be there.

Zinn The Mood:
Sort of been made inert by contempt for so much. But mainly my ire, which can tend to overwhelm me and I have to keep in check, is over an inability for folks to rise up against what seems to me like a piling off tinder that keeps getting waaaaay too high for waaaaay too long.
The hurdles are as difficult as ever. Politics and “news” is a complete and utter joke, charade and total distraction. Problem as ever is the masses still are transfixed in their misguided fear, not realizing it’s entertainment programming to appease advertisers. Not at all interested in the Dem/Rep soap opera; the fundamental economic issues are purposefully obscured and ignored for entertainment value and market share.
While all around us, right in our faces, we’re being buried with price-gouging at the grocery stores, high markups at restaurants, cost of living racing sky high, a dystopian world of co-pays, deductibles and minimum account balances.
I guess my only outlet is doing the occasional public rant in a supermarket about the criminal price-gouging that everyone knows is happening but no one seems to want to talk about. “Who’s making the pricing here?” It’s gratifying to watch the knowing heads nod or pass an affirmative comment. These petty bourgeois small business owners/merchants all looking around at each other taking more and more and thinking “why not, if he’s doing it.”
That’s my little release. Hoping somehow others will take it up until we get a Boston Tea Party type resistance or something.
I don’t know, man.
I’ll stop there.
Thanks for letting me rant a little.
