Music:


POEMES DE NAIANTURÓ 1Realitat definida per l’entorn immediat Emmarcada per esclats rocosos vermells i verds. Memòries inèdites jeien latents Sota una manta torrada pel sol Teixida pel temps novell. La veritat i el sentit es revelen Tan sols a l’acampada dels privilegiats Envoltant el darrer centre de falsa seguretat on l’ordre estructural és l’esperança subliminal de subjugar i controlar la tènue comprensió d’uns grapats de bon jans i viatgers nostàlgics traïts per la seva aqüiescència si els guardians els deixen. Altrament Sota la vela de la història i de la tradició Queden amagades a simple vista Assolibles només amb el permís dels avantpassats I l’expansió d’una ment pura.

Movies:

POEMES DE NAIAN PERDÓDius que és aigua passada Jo dic perdó T’equivoques És dins del meu cor Dins la meva sang Igual com s’alça i es pon el sol Com puja i baixa l’oceà Així el batec dels cors de la meva gent silenciada Em ressona en les orelles Una simfonia agredolça dels teus avantpassats Amb instruments que toquen a morts Dius que la culpa no és de ningú Ara i avui Jo dic perdó T’equivoques Mira les teves lleis Obre una pàgina dels teus llibres d’història Observa les imatges del meu poble en el teu televisor Com més els teus crits d’innocència m’aixafen la generositat Més gran és la teva ignorància I més culpables sou tots.Myspace, an extension of The Brekky Show, somewhere I can listen to music from all over the planet, read people's thoughts (spooky), and catch up with mates. A tool for getting new music and hard to come bys live to air. Bypassing the majors, middle wo/man. Connecting with like minded and absent minded folks. Even talking to those I don't necessarily agree with. A tool to promote artists from every genre. Not to be taken seriously at all. That's all for now, in case you were interested.Stay wellNAIANThe Brekky Show in your VillageDarwin 6.30am - Mackay, Gold Coast 7am - Perth 5am - Rio De Janeiro 7pm - Havana 5pm - Suva 9am - Toulouse, Berlin, Poznan, Johannesburg, Barcelona 11pm - Accra 9pm - Athens, Baghdad, Kampala, Beirut, Istanbul Midnight - Tokyo 6am - Auckland, Apia 10am - Manchester 10pm - Dubai 1am - Port Vila 8am

Heroes:

POEMES DE NAIANEL SOMNI DE L’AIGUA BLAVAVeus els esperits com ballen Com ballen a la llum del foc Allà baix a la platja Com ballen cada nit? Sents els ritmes sagrats del yidaki Com suren en el ventijol nocturn i ens criden a tu i a mi?Veus els antics dibuixos Com omplen la meva pell Com uneixen el passat i el present I els nostres esperits més propers? Sents com bat el cor Del tambor warup Portant-nos el missatge Que hi anem tu i jo?Cap al somni de l’aigua blava. Res per amagar Res per témer Obre els ulls Obre les orelles Res per perdre Res per trobar Obre el cor Obre la mentEt veuré en el somni de l’aigua blava.

[email protected] DE NAIANBOTIGA DE NINESLes negres i blanques cares de porcellana Observen el passejant, El cutis perfecte i cremós, retocat Amb mirades sofisticades i posats mundans, Contemplen l’entorn Amb un menyspreu ignorant que no els escau, tan petites com són. El cutis suau, color de caramel Amb pigues aquí i allà Ens indica d’on vénen Cares grotescament esculpides Conviden a la simpatia amb comèdia Un toc amable de l’artesà a la ceguesa Que exilia per sempre aquestes falses nenes Al departament de joguines Al costat de l’ànec Daffy i l’ós Pooh. Un destí immerescut però fet a propòsit D’aquestes cares sorgeix la realitat Recordant al passejant un temps no gaire llunyà En què les mares dels nens udolaven Veient com se’ls enduien, Com un ramat, a l’escorxador Per viure al costat d’uns germans que no eren de color Objectes curiosos i funcionals Amb gairebé la possibilitat de tenir sentiments i història, subjectes que observen el passejant.
