BLACK MATH HORSEMAN

Interview (2011)




1. What was your reaction when you learned that your European tour was canceled due to the eruption of the volcano? Do you think Nature has reminded to the modern man that he was addicted and vulnerable? 
Bryan Tulao: We were all pretty devastated. We were literally ON the airplane, ON the runway about to take off when they pulled our plane back. Our flight was the last plane to Heathrow. It was so surreal to be told by the pilot that our flight is grounded do to ''volcanic eruption''.No matter how technically advanced and evolved humans become, we are all still vulnerable to the whims of the Earth. Be it Earthquakes, Weather, or volcanic eruptions. Man has disrespected and fucked with the Earth for so long, in some way i'm glad Earth is flexing and reacting. although i just wish It could've waited to volcanically erupt a few weeks later.


2. Are you already coming to Europe in the past (for studies, holidays, etc..)? Or this first European tour was a means for you to discover this continent? What are your favorite french bands?
Bryan Tulao: BMH had our first ''European'' experience a few months ago when we flew to Barcelona to play the Primavera Sound festival. We basically didnt sleep the entire time from walking everywhere and taking in as much as possible. We loved It.Personally, i've had the good fortune to visit most of Europe, and have visited France a few times. Paris is definitely one of my favorite cities. I hope BMH gets an opportunity to visit/play there. As far as French bands, i know Sera has mentioned liking Alcest, Amesocurs, Air, Blut aus Nord. I like some of the music of Magma.


3. According to you, what is your opinion on this "phenomenon" of reunion nowadays (Goatsnake, Swans, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Sleep, and so on)?
Bryan Tulao: Whenever i see the term ''reunion'' in regards to a band, i immediately lose some excitement & interest. Instead of the ''We're'' breaking up'' announcements that bands often make, i wish most of them would just say '' We're taking a break for a while''. Because 9 times out of 10, EVERY band gets back together after some amount of time, be it Money, appreciation, whatever, most bands have some sort of ''reunion'' if they have split up.Recently i saw Goatsnake and Rage Against the Machine, and they were Great! Even better than i remember them to sound years back.And i am very excited bout the Swans ''reunion'', although Micheal Gira claims its NOT a reunion because its a different line-up. Whatever it will be, i'm looking forward to seeing Swans.


4. What is your relationship with Tom Neely? What do you like in his work?
Bryan Tulao: Tom has become a friend, but we were fans of his artwork and comix before.Personally, i've always liked comic style illustrations and Tom has a very classic comic illustration style (mixed with a hint of Alfred Kubin & Harry Clarke). There's also a dark feel in his artwork that i like, and a unique detail style. Even if its meant to be funny like in his ''Henry & Glenn'' comic, there's something kind of macabe in his illustrations.



5. What is your relationship with your label, Tee Pee Records? Are you satisfied? According to me, it is currently one of the best labels!!
Bryan Tulao: We're very happy and appreciative to work with Tee Pee. They've been very supportive of the band, and there's been a cool camaraderie amongst the Tee Pee bands we've met and played with.


6. "Wyllt" was originally intended as a demo, recorded in 3 days ... what finally pushed you to present it as your first album? Why do not you consider spending more time on this album? Spontaneity was your priority?
Sera: We were a ''band'' for only a few of weeks prior to recording, and had only played our very first show the night before heading out to Scotts to record, we were very conscious of the spontaneity of it all. We were really into  the capturing of the moment, it was raw and an honest picture of where we were at the time, and felt that the songs told the story of the record. We could've spent more time writing additional songs, re-recording some songs, experimenting and adding to, but we liked the rawness of the recordings ( most of which were 1st takes), so we decided to make THOSE recordings THE record.And just like Wyllt was a picture of the band at the moment, the new record will be the same ( but sounding very different).


7. In addition, you were in very good company because you recorded with Scott Reeder! How did your collaboration? You are recorded in the desert, is not it?
Bryan Tulao: We recorded Wyllt at Scott Reeders studio/Ranch ( the Sanctuary) out in the Banning Desert, near Joshua Tree.The land is beautiful and expansive out there, and the studio is surrounded by nature, horses, peacocks, dogs and all kinds of other animals. Sash & I were friends of Scotts and asked him if he had any available studio time for us to come out and record some songs for this ''new project''. We just wanted to get a good sounding recording/demo so we could hear what we had. There was no intention of the recordings becoming ''a record''. And up till us playing through the first song ( which i think was ''Deerslayer''), Scott had not heard one bit of music and had absolutely no idea what we sounded like or what we were gonna be doing. Even as Scott was setting up mic's he sheepishly asked us, ''so what's the music like, whats the sound of the band''? then he'd say '' forget it, dont tell me, i'll hear when you guys play through a song''. We played through all the song's and after each take Scott wouldnt say anything other than ''What do you guys think''? We started wondering if he didnt like what he was hearing. It wasnt till we left at the end of the night that he finally expressed how excited he was about the music. 

While he did not play on the record, he did sit in on bass for 2 songs at our record release show. Scott is BMH family. 


8. You feel that his music experience helped you? It is a longstanding friendship with him?
Sera: I think working with someone who is positive, and that there is mutual respect definitely help's, in any situation. Especially recording. It was the perfect environment for us, especially recording with a good friend, in his home, surrounded by mountains and desert and all sort's of wandering animals. 


9. When I listen your album, I immediately think of loneliness ... and its aspect "religious", incantatory, almost ascetic. I Do you think it is consciously or unconsciously influence your music?
Bryan Tulao: Religion is definitely a big influence on the lyrics, but I can't say it's an influence on the actual music. There is a whole backstory that goes with the music, which we will be publishing with the next album-the story lasts 3 albums. On this album the central character is Wyllt (much inspired by Mryddin Wyllt  but not exactly the same) who becomes disenchanted with organized religion, government, and war and goes into the forest to live in exile. 
10. Sera, you work in a design company called "Deer and Unicorn". Can you describe/explain your goals, your guideline, your history?  
Sera: I began graphic design and video at the same time I began playing music.  After a few years of making websites, posters, and videos for my own musical projects I had developed a sort of portfolio.  I then created Deer and Unicorn  so that instead of seeking design work from other companies, individuals and companies could hire me because they like my particular style.  Ideally I'd like to spend half my time working on visual art, and building Deer and Unicorn, and half my time making and playing music. 


11. You've worked with Intronaut or Isis... What was your reaction when you learned that the band is separated? Do you understand their choice?
Sera: When I learned the band was separating I was initially sad. When I found out their reasons for splitting up, I thought it made a lot of sense, and I have more respect and admiration for them for choosing to split up when they feel that they've reached the pinnacle of their creativity as a group. There are not many bands that are courageous enough to do that. 


12. As a singer, what are the female singers that you admire most?
Sera: Grace Slick, Janice Joplin, PJ Harvey, Siouxsie Sioux, Buffy Sainte Marie, Hope Sandoval, Marissa Nadler, Jesse Sykes, Julie Christmas, Etta Jame, Sarah Vaughan, Odetta, Bessie Smith, Edith Piaf, Sandy Denny, Bjork, plus many more...



13. For example, you quote Julie Christmas, she embarked on a solo project: it is something that you would like to do?
Sera: Yes! I'm working on a solo project, and I also have a side project called Ides of Gemini. We just released our 1st EP.  


14. Bryan speaks of camaraderie between Tee Pee's bands... this is the case with Ancestors and your presence on the song "The Trial"? How did the idea? How have you comprehended your participation? As far as i am concerned, it's really the best song of this amazing album... I think you sublimate this song.
Sera: Thank you. Ancestors approached me with the idea. They said they had one part on their album that they thought my vocals would fit perfectly on. I heard a demo of the song and really loved the part. I showed up at the studio, and Chico (who's no longer in the band) had jotted down some beautiful lyrics (which I identified with immediately) for me to put to my melody. I'm very happy w/ the finished song, though the lyrics have been lost, and I have no idea what I said so it will remain a mystery to all.  


15. I am surprised to read the name of Edith Piaf in your influences ... you can tell us more? This is the intensity generated by his voice that you like?
Sera: I do love the intensity of emotion that can be heard in her voice. Her life was very much a struggle, and I believe that the darkness of that struggle as well as the beauty of living and singing comes through in her work.

HOPEWELL

Good Good Desperation (2009)



DMT et causalité. « Il regarde encore dans le rétroviseur - les flammes jaillissent, fusent, le maïs et le lespidèze sont devenus marron comme un film en couleurs qui prend feu et éclate lorsque le projecteur chauffe trop, le maïs,  le blé et le lespidèze ne sont plus qu’une gerbe brunâtre en fusion, la camassia, le sureau, l’iris sauvage, le prismatique le sarcobate, le toxicodendron, l’aconit, la mandragore, le menispermum, l’herbe qui rend épileptique et celle qui rend fou, l’amarante, l’euphorbe, le tabac coyote, les yeux de crabe, prennent feu - une mer de flammes - une mer de feu dans un miroir. Narcisse, lune, jumeaux, thèse et antithèse, infirmité de l’existence, il est contraint d’endurer, à tout moment, cette révélation d’un mystère paléopsychique - et détourne les yeux, et tente de ne plus regarder dans le rétroviseur, et il n’y a plus, de nouveau, que le soleil et le ventre vert de l’Amérique qui défile… » T.W



Voici ce que j’ai pensé: aucun de nos voyages, à nous, contemporains de cette époque où la peur généralisée ne peut plus se dissimuler, où elles se lient sur tous les visages (celui qui observe en marchant dans les rues verra, je crois, les visages les plus gais dans les voitures de deuil), ne seront un jour une de ces arides expéditions repliée sur elle-même où l‘être factice qui siège au fin fond de nous pourrait être bouleversé, pas plus qu’une véritable expédition au sens noble du terme, celle de la découverte. Désormais l’homme n’est plus nécessaire pour explorer. Il y a le grand œil de la technique qui voit tout et veille à toute chose. Des miettes, oui. Seule y échappe encore l’âme humaine de quelques affamés. Et puis quoi? Et puis rien. Annoncer la fin n’a plus lieu d‘être, prédire la descente finale serait risible, s’inquiéter sur les conséquences est devenu absurde. C’est admis. Et puis quoi? Et puis rien. Les derniers voyages ont lieu scotché au fond d’un lit, allongé en haut d’une montagne un soir d‘été étoilé aux abords d‘un chalet isolé pour jouer avec les diapos du ciel, au bord d’un lac calme où la brise vous amuse et vous replonge dans une enfance oubliée… peu importe. Les derniers voyages sont au niveau de la conscience. Et, à chaque fois, et même aux autres, des notes accompagnent, éveillent ce qui reste à éveiller.

Voici ce que j’ai encore pensé: dès la première écoute de ce « Good good Desperation », j’ai été transporté à une époque où le Day-Glo, la peinture qui rend fluorescent en plein jour, se retrouvait sur tous les visages, à une époque où il arrivait de porter des jours et des jours de suite un costume d’aviateur, l’endroit importait peu, on s’envolait ensemble… on s’affrétait mutuellement des avions, à une époque où la friteuse cérébrale bouillonnait encore de milles feux, comme l’éclat des yeux qui montait à plus de 300 watts, à une époque où l‘avenir était mieux que le notre, pour ainsi dire… à une époque où l’on pouvait se mettre mutuellement des doigts dans le cul sans qu’il n’y ait rien de choquant, tout en dégustant une délicieuse et succulente pomme d‘amour rouge sang allongé nu sur une paradisiaque plage de sable fin… où la plage horaire accordée par votre aimable manager pour profiter du soleil, de la Tour Eiffel, des émissions de CO2, des klaxons stridents affolants vos sens saturés et des désertiques et réputées et sauvages et estivales plages de la Seine n’existaient malheureusement pas encore.

Et dès les écoutes qui ont suivies, je me suis abandonné aux ondes positives émises par Hopewell. J’ai oublié éphémèrement l’élite des Cartes de Crédit qui fait le plein pour leur 4x4, après avoir appris durant le trajet via une émission radiophonique qu’une étude scientifique affirmait que l'empreinte carbone d'un gros chien serait supérieure à celle de leur véhicule, sur une de ces aires d’autoroutes futuristes alimentée par un parc d’éoliennes à l’énergie renouvelable et propre et rassurante embellissant le paysage de notre douce France où des haut-parleurs crachent un morceau de Piaf (« Nan, rien de rien… nan, je ne regrette rien! ») et se dégourdit les jambes et se décollent les caleçons d’une grande marque vestimentaire des replis vieillissants et cireux de leur scrotum avant de tapoter quelques milles et une choses ô combien importantes sur leur appareil portatif afin d’engranger plus et même encore plus par je ne sais quelle démoniaque entreprise. Des pommes de pain dans la chatte, voilà tout. Et je me suis encore forcé à oublier… pour voyager scotché au fond de mon lit au point d‘en omettre que cet album avait été composé en 2009. À son écoute, j’en arriverai presque à faire l’amour avec mon prochain et ma prochaine… sans même de compensation pécuniaire. Mais où avais-je la tête? Je dévie… ressaisis-toi mon grand: d’ailleurs, où est-ce que cette pute de femme de ménage analphabète a-t-elle bien pu ranger mes LP d’Arkhon Infaustus? On a frôlé la putain de catastrophe: saloperie d‘hippies.

YOB

Interview (2011)



1. How was your show with the legendary Sleep? What this means to you this comeback? Mike, you had said in 2004 that you would dream to work with Matt Pike...
Mike S: YOB had the opportunity to play with High On Fire a number of times in 2002-2005, and we played with Al and Shrinebuilder in 2010. Meeting Matt and Al and sharing the stage with HOF/Shrinebuilder was an amazing honor. To then fast forward to 2010 and play with Sleep? I can’t describe how stunning that was for us. Plus the fact that they requested us for the show. I have the Holy Mountain Sleep logo tattooed on the inside of my bicep. I have listened to Sleep every since HM came out. They are one of our all-time favorite bands and to share the stage with them was a true high point in my life personally.


2. More recently you've also played with the amazing Neurosis! How was your show with this legend? In 2011, what can we desire more to YOB? With whom you'd love to play? A particular band or you think you have had the chance / opportunity to accomplish your dreams?
Mike S: Neurosis have been one of my favorite bands for 20+ years. But I had never seen them before, amazingly. After seeing them twice in a row I can safely say they are the best live band I have ever seen. Their vision and execution are total. It was such an amazing honor to share the stage with them. It was and is inspiring in the best sense. As far as 2011 goes, our hope to do a full US tour in July/August and European tour in September/October is still our current goal. As far as bands we'd love to share the stage with, we have already shared the stage with our all-time favorite bands. Aside from unattainable dream giant bands like Judas Priest, Deftones, Iron Maiden, TOOL, we are already so content. It would be rad to play with Converge, Neurosis (again!), The Melvins, Will Haven, Immolation, Akercocke.....to name a few.

3. In detail, can you explain how the vocal lines of this "The Great Separation" was designed? I find it both psyche, captivating and truly terrifying: the vocal lines for me in Yob is one of the most incredible of all the Doom scene! It's something for you to impulsive/instinctive or rather something a lot of thought/reasoned?
Mike S: My vocal style is a mixture of everything I love in my favorite singers-from Al Cisneros to Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson to Ross Dolan, Edgy 59, Van Morrison and Ian Curtis....I take my vocals very seriously and want them to be a dynamic instrument in themselves. I don’t pretend to be as good of a singer as my heroes, but I try to incorporate an approach that is as honest, adventurous and expressive as what I imagine drives them. Vocals are so important and I would never be satisfied with a one-dimentional take on them for YOB. I am glad you dig my singing!





4. You seem to be comfortable on your new and amazing label Profound Lore. With hindsight, are you satisfied with the work done for the release of "The Great Cessation"? Do you think your partnership will last several years?
Mike S: Chris Bruni and Profound Lore are a genuine class act. We have had an incredibly satifying experience working with Profound Lore. He does what he says he’s going to do, and he throws himself into his work sincerely with all he has to give. He works hard for the bands that put out albums on his label and he himself is a rabid music fan. We will release our new 2011 album with Profound Lore as well, cheerfully.


5. So on this new album "Atma" (Profound Lore), you were in what frame of mind when you composed theses news songs? Do you feel a pressure? This 'new' cult status is not boring when you compose? After the incredible "The Great Cessation", many people are eager to hear your new songs...
Mike S- As a songwriter,my only pressure is internal: to write the best dynamic tunes I can that are recognizably YOB while exploring new territory at the same time. The new YOB music is definitely intense. Bashing and brutal on one hand, and celestial and hopefully uplifting on the other. We always want to make our fans happy and give them music they can add to their collections joyfully. At the end of the day, we have to please ourselves first and write music that makes us freak out and rock like it's a concert in front of 100,000 people, in our jam space. If we have that feeling, then we can send that vibe out into the world.


6. I think we can't deny the fact that your status has changed considerably since your "break" in 2006. How do you perceive this new status? How do you explain that some bands reach the status of "cult" band that once they broke up?
Mike S: Perhaps it’s a scenario where once something is gone a person might appreciate it more? Hard to say. I have found that music has a life of it’s own. As such the increased attention towards YOB practically has nothing to do with us. It is certainly an honor that more folks have gotten into our music, and we are grateful to be a band again with the increased attention and support. We truly did not expect it.



7. It took several years before you can FINALLY see you on the old continent. What memories do you have your first tour to Europe? I remember that, at Roadburn, there was some tension in the audience... a relief to see you FINALLY on stage.
Mike S/YOB-Man there is SO much. The whole Roadburn experience itself is incredible. Everyone is so happy and pumped to be there, and everyone is dedicated to THE HEAVY from blood to bones. YOB was received so warmly, we couldn’t have asked for more. Getting stranded in Europe due to the volcano that erupted in Iceland was a blessing in disguise. We were able to pick up shows with Eyehategod, Dark Castle, Totimoshi, Kylesa, Wooden Ships and The Master Musicians Of Bukkake. We have the best memories from that trip.


8. I know people who have considered suicide when they heard that your show at Roadburn 2011 was canceled ... What happened? How came the idea of playing "The Unreal Never Lived"?
Mike S: We were crushed to have to cancel this trip. Ultimately, our tour we were planning wasn't coming together the way we needed it to for a number of reasons and as such we realized we needed to put the trip on hold for a later time. We will indeed be coming back to Roadburn in 2012 with any luck and will fulfill our promise to perform The Unreal Never Lived. As far as choosing that album, Walter asked us to consider playing a complete album and that one just jumped out at us at the one to play. We'd be stoked to play any of our albums in entirety but that was the one that felt the best at the time.


9. "The Great Cessation" has become undoubtedly one of my favorite albums, and especially with the monstrous eponym track. When I was lost in the Atacama Desert in Chile (you are like being on another planet with these landscapes dementia), I listened this song in a loop, finding that it was sticking perfectly to the desert landscapes... It was truly one of the highlights of my trip to South America, so I wanted to sincerely thank you! Can you explain the genesis and history of this song?
My songs just kind of unfold on their own. I get an idea for the content and the vibe I want to shoot for on a particular song and I pretty much try to get out of the way and let it happen. Being that many of my songs are about awakening and growth on some level, I dig deep and let the higher self speak, while keeping the subject firmly rooted in Earth and dirt, mud and sweat. It is easy to be either be completely negative or write about lofty subjects without getting my hands dirty. It is another to write about growth and spirit from the point of view of struggling, suffering, striving to be better, and not being a martyr about it. I am thrilled you dig that song! It is one of our favorites.


10. Are you agree if I say that Law is nothing more than a discipline that tries to fill in the gaps (often absurdly) of the society that will go inevitably implode into its madness...
Mike S:If Anarchy reigned and human beings could respect each other, then Law would be unnecessary. History has showed that the meanest, baddest motherfuckers try to gain more and more power in any and all forms, and incredible suffering is perpetuated. Until the human race evolves into the realization that belief systems come and go, that in essence we truly know nothing of lasting significance, that to condemn and perpetuate dogma over mental constructs is vastly ignorant and that we all spring from the same source, abandoning the idea that action based in fear can somehow protect us and give us security, some Law is acceptable. Is it inevitable that we are going to consume ourselves like a Cancer-ridden body? Time will tell.

SILENCER

Death - Pierce Me (2001)




Elle était là, elle allait prendre, prendre cher dans la chair, dans le creux de l'âme salie, dans les entrailles par les lames saillis, sang à l'appui. Les tréfonds tous, plus profonds de ses membres dégoulineront par la fonte, fusion déversant les fins fonds extasiant de son corps reposant sur ces gonds rouillés, aux allures d'étoiles d'Orion. Il allait crier l'enculé, chialer, sa pute, ses pensées, sa feu-destiné. Attaché(e) des extrémités de son tronc, écartelé(e) sur la table vernis dans l'infini de l'enchaînement, dans les flammes de ses vices, la note à payer du service ; ça allait sévir, ça allait finir. (A vôtre choix.)

Elle émergeait, surprise, ébahie par les cris du verdict qui frémissaient dans les cendres dans son cœur, lui, celui qu'est parti, dans la mort, le mépris ; dans les pleures, dans les cris, dans les crises. C'était l'heure, la douceur du cutter, seule la saveur dans la ferveur de ses yeux surplomberait l'amas de malheurs amassé dans ce cœur ; à corps perdu dans la peur, ils étaient deux, c'était la leur, les acteurs de leur tombe. Allons deviner la valeur du tailleur de pierres à l'intérieur de la chair...

Commençons par les doigts, bien encrés, à saigner, à griffer la paroi. Rentrons le pic à glace à l'intérieur, faisant face aux premiers hurlements, restons concentré, ne nous éparpillons point aux regrets, à l'utopie, la réalité qu'ils ont détruit, à la mort prématurée. Hurler, hurler à la vie, à son passé, à sa connerie, elle ne sait bien faire que ça, encore, encore un peu plus profond, passons à l'échelle supérieur, encore abreuver le visage de breuvage sanglant, giclant à travers l'air, marquant les murs, la terre. A deux, on criera plus fort, on perforera le sort ; j'expédie hors de mon corps l'élan de mon souffle assourdissant. Tout seul, je toucherais le sol, à mort se profilant. Sortons la tronçonneuse maintenant, maintenons là bien droite, bien tranchante, allons-y, pris, lancé dans la décadence, la déchéance, dans l'enchantement, le salut de Boddah, l'apaisement ; à vif. Sa peau déchiquetée avec parcimonie, en totale harmonie, accomplit à l'étreinte des cellules, anéanties, brulées, coupées, en mille et pire morceaux de poussières. N'y venons pas trop tôt, pas trop vite, non, tu ne t'en sortiras point autant facilement, autant miraculée, en bonne santé, non. L'ardeur du fer rouge pointera ton âme dans l'eau au-delà des rives, brillante de rouge, scintillante au milieu de tes yeux, comme pour mépris, voir méprise de mes pulsions ; par-dessus tout expier. Les fleurs ont fané, les arbres chutés, à l'aide de votre folie folle alliée, vos merveilles à gerber, suffoquer ; comme la pureté. Encore, non toujours plus, plus de souffrances, vidant ce futur cadavre ; un peu d'acide afin de corroder cette douce peau soyeuse, ses joues craquantes, craquantes sous la braise. La pince, elle est là, les doigts de pieds en bas, les dents vers des axones encore un peu plus sensibles, c'est ainsi, embrasons la foudre de ses dires, ses gémissements sans fin jusqu'à l'ultime inspiration ; suspense... Elle ira, je suivrais. Les ondes fertiles génitales se dispersent comme une grenade à clous, comme la pollution dans l'atmosphère, rompant au matériel de fer. Le compas à deux pointes ruisselait péniblement le long de ses cuisses, de son ventre, de ses seins, de sa verge, accrochant, crissant. L'effroi, la chaleur de son regard dans mes pupilles foudroient le temps, fixent le monde. Mélancolie de l'instant, des instants, de l'éphémère, nostalgie du moment, des moments, du sublime. Geins encore, à souffrir, à vagir ; j'abandonnerais ton corps, tes artères toujours en faibles et douloureux mouvements, dans la neige, dans la glace ; ce sera ici, ce sera cela, ta mise à mort lente dans le froid. Chaque être se méprend, voguant contre le sort, la conscience, l'innocence ; peut-être à tort, j'implore l'égorgement à l'égard d'ici-bas, l'innombrable mutilé de toutes parts, l'intenable départ de vos chars, de vos armes, vos âmes abjectes. A notre dernier souffle, nos derniers baisers...

Transpercé, l'univers a succombé dans l'implosion, l'explosion inimaginée.

Mort, perce-moi ; silence...

GNAW THEIR TONGUES

L'Arrivée De La Terne Mort Triomphante (2010)



Un enfant me crache au visage: je l’ai dévisagé alors qu‘il jouait avec son portable. Et j’éclate d’un rire cosmique, visiblement il ne sait pas à qui il a affaire. Il est temps de lui crever un autre trou du cul, à ce petit connard de mioche. Et sa mère rapplique: la matrone en veut maintenant à mes couilles, mes couilles bien-aimées. Je pars en courant. Et quelques minutes plus tard, essoufflé, je m’assois là, sur ce banc public. Je m’abas de tout mon haut et ouvre la fermeture éclair pour donner de l’air frais à mes couilles en sueur. Et voici ce que j’ai pensé.

Maintenant que les enfants regardent du porno (où une femme avale le sperme d’une dizaine de mâles, d‘une seule traite… pour ainsi dire) durant la récréation de 10h, appareil portatif équipé de la technologie 3G dans une main, barre chocolatée dans l’autre pour tenir bon jusqu‘au déjeuner, juste avant l‘heure hebdomadaire d‘éducation civique (aujourd’hui, le chapitre portera sur la parité républicaine entre homme et femme: sortez vos livres!); maintenant qu’ils ont vu le soir à table, juste après le journal du 20h qui annonçait que la France rejetait autant de CO2 qu'en 1990 malgré tous les efforts annoncés, une publicité où une femme défenestre son mari pour vanter les mérites d’une… cuisine équipée; maintenant qu’ils ont appris que, finalement, l’amitié avait un prix, et que déjà aux Etats-Unis le site internet uSocial.net propose de vendre des "amis" Facebook, avec notamment cet intéressant pack de 1 000 potes à 197 dollars (153 euros); maintenant qu’ils ont grandi dans l’air du tout numérique où ils ne construisent plus des cabanes dans les arbres pendant leurs week-ends, mais des villes entières colonisatrices, taux de criminalité et système des retraites à gérer inclus, sur un de ces logiciels de simulation bien plus réaliste que ce qu‘il pourrait voir de leur fenêtre; maintenant qu’il vous explique qu’il a rencontré une charmante jeune fille sur l’Internet et qu’il va essayer de la rencontrer en vrai pour vivre une véritable histoire d’amour car il est convaincu que c‘est la femme de sa vie, la lecture des adjectifs sur son profil ne trompe pas (et vous apprenez a posteriori que, en effet, il l’a perdu, son pucelage, et que la charmante jeune fille s’appelait Robert, 54 ans); et maintenant… maintenant je n’arrive plus à me relever de ce foutu banc.

La remarque de J.S frappe ma boîte crânienne comme une bille de flipper, avec la même ferveur qu’une invasion de Huns violeurs de nouveaux-nés: la véritable question n’est plus de savoir quel monde laisseront nous à nos enfants, mais bien à quels enfants laisseront nous notre Terre. Et je me rappelle soudainement les nouvelles de ce matin, que l’on vous offre gracieusement à la sortie du métro, sans que vous n’ayez rien besoin de demander, rien, et je me rappelle qu’en une seule journée, avec l’annonce d’un nouveau "continent de plastique" découvert dans l'Atlantique s'étendant entre le 22ème et 38ème degrés de latitude nord, l’annonce d’un rappel massif d'un demi-milliard d'oeufs (soit 500 000 000 œufs, si vous préférez) potentiellement contaminés aux salmonelles aux Etats-Unis sans qu‘on ne sache pourquoi si l‘on en croit la directrice de la FDA, l'agence américaine de régulation du médicament et de l'alimentation, qui avoue ne pas savoir « exactement comment cette contamination s'est introduite chez les poulets, dans les œufs », l’annonce d’une étude pointant des modifications de l'ADN chez les nettoyeurs du naufrage du « Prestige » (les lymphocytes seraient susceptibles d'entraîner un "risque accru de cancer", voyez-vous), l’annonce qu’au Bangladesh une mort sur cinq est due à l'arsenic et ses 4,8 millions de puits contaminés (4 800 000 puits contaminés) où la population puise ses besoins en eau vital (mais qui pourrait situer ce pays sur un planisphère? Sans Google Map.), etc., etc., et voici donc que l’on m’informe, et même si une seule de ces rubriques d’un quart de page positionnée en face d’une publicité vous incitant, à vous!, de ne pas faire le con!, d’acheter un véhicule écologique qui ne rejette que quelques grammes de C02 pour sauver la planète, si un seul de ces faits-divers aurait frappé, littéralement, d’une crise cardiaque votre arrière grand-père, celui qui avait entendu parler du moteur à explosion sans jamais le voir, ce dinosaure d’un autre monde, voici que l’on m’informe le plus simplement du monde de l’actualité de ce matin sans lendemain, celle qui se répètera sans honte sous une autre forme d‘ici quelques heures, avec le flux constant d‘informations parcourant les continents sans jamais prendre le temps de se reposer. Et voici ce que j’ai finalement pensé: ce gosse n’est pas plus con qu’un autre, il a juste intérioriser l’effroyable constat de la réalité de manière un peu plus précoce, il a juste compris l’indicible sentiment de mal à l’aise qu’il ressent dès qu’il ouvre ses paupières le matin en se réveillant, celle de l‘arrivée de la terne mort triomphante.
