Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10The crisis consists precisely in the fact
that the old is dying and the new cannot
be born; in the interregnum a great
variety of morbid symptoms appears.
—Antonio Gramsci
If you were at all concerned, or had the slightest suspicion, that the government didn't know what was going on, it turns out that the ECB still hasn't worked out its rules on how to help us.
Seems like Lisbon just ain't gonna happen this year...

Not attacking your thrust but maybe you should think twice before quoting a Nazi sympathiser.
Some of her family (specifically two sisters) were fascists - she was not. She was a socialist who supported another one of her sisters who travelled to Spain to help in the fight against Franco in the 1930's. http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_701702267/mitford_n....html
Thanks for your 'useful' comment.
The title of the film combines bits of lyrics of two armageddon type songs I'm fond of
'Houses Everywhere' by Jinx Lennon: You can listen at this page: http://jinxlennon.com/video.htm
and
'Dead Flag Blues' by Godspeed You Black Emperor: You can hear it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aLjup934Rk
And an update about the little movie: It's been viewed more than 1000 times on the vimeo page - which for a kind of 'arty' experiment banged together in 4 days is to me at least very healthy. I've gotten a lot of nice feedback in my e-mail and it was great to see blogs like slugger / irishleftreview / notesonthefront etc featuring it on their pages. No formal reviews as yet. Some of those would be nice. I don't mean in 'publications' - just 'this is a review' kind of thing.
I'm trying out making a couple of 'sequels' set in the capital at present as the idea doesn't feel played out yet.
Anyway - pass it on if you like it.
