About Me

Some stuff (factuallll):

I am a tax resister - I object to military taxation (I don't pay the part of my taxes that would go to military expenditure - I divert them towards peace-building projects). Find out more in http://www.solidaries.org/ofiscal/

Growth objector - I am for the idea of décroissance (in French) or de-growth (lousy English translation). Décroissance represents something opposed to sustainable development - French wikipedia will give you a general view of what décroissance is (search for "décroissance soutenable"); also, search for articles by Serge Latouche (English or French); in Catalan: www.decreixement.net

Member of a self-managed consumers' cooperative (organic products, including the criteria local and social -fair/ethical-)

ARTICLES AND JOURNALISM: Opinion, music, consumption and sustainability, and language editing.

http://www.eldema.cat regularly; a variety of collaborations more or less frequent with other media supports (Opcions - magazine on aware consumption by a Catalan consumption research centre; Troc - magazine of eco-organic consumption cooperatives from Catalonia; Bergens Tidende - Norwegian newspaper from the city of Bergen; Adressa - Norwegian newspaper from the city of Trondheim; Masterful Maga ‘zine - extreme metal portal from Poland; Mandrágora ‘zine - Catalan ‘zine mainly including black metal; and work publications including -but not limited to- technical articles and editorials)

MUSIC: a bunch of things from more to less “pro”, I’m always in the music scene in some way, so I end up doing stuff constantly. From the more related press-stuff above to liasing between mainly underground bands and promoters, collaboration in organising gigs or fests, support to dissemination of gigs, giving a hand to friends in lyrics contents, being a tour guide, and whatever comes along (such as supporting the alcohol habits of certain band members! ;)

LANGUAGES: English, Norwegian, French; and of course Catalan and Spanish (my mother tongues).

I'd like to meet:

People wanting to play the idiot, in a non-judgemental atmosphere...! what else? ;) but I guess a bit of everything as well? conversation, networking, deeper talk, blabla

Music:

MY FAVOURITE SONG:

APART FROM THAT:

powerviolence, grind, crust, grown-up intimate pop, punk, hardcore, teen music, classical, alternative, grunge, ska and whatever I might like

Television:



Humour series that make me laugh aloud non-stop (my parents got scared stiff of me when I was watching the series, thinking seriously I was mad), loudness audible by at least the whole street:

The young ones (British)

Plats bruts (Catalan)

also Humor Amarillo (Takeshi's castle, Japanese) - the version with that crazy Spanish dubbing

Current favorite: POLÃ’NIA. A satire about Catalan politics and weird recipes (such as chicken covered with anti-flu powder -on the occasion of the bird flu-). NB about the name of the programme: Spaniards say in a despective manner that we Catalans are Poles (from Poland) and that we speak Polish (=Catalan), to show that we are foreigners and speak a foreign language

Franco and Hitler playing a table game (jugant a l'oca)
