De Dinu Gu\u021bu<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Acum vreo dou\u0103 luni solistul de la Sleaford Mods, <\/span>Jason Williamson, a fost anun\u021bat c\u0103 nu mai poate vota la alegerile pentru conducerea Partidului Laburist din Marea Britanie, dup\u0103 ce l-a f\u0103cut \u201dposing cunt\u201d \u00eentr-o postara public\u0103 pe <\/span>Dan Jarvis1<\/sup><\/a>,<\/span><\/span> un candidat la parlamentare. Williamson c\u00e2nt\u0103 despre condi\u021bia clasei muncitoare \u0219i inegalit\u0103\u021bile sociale din Anglia. A intrat la laburi\u0219ti pentru a-l sus\u021bine pe Corbyn. A r\u0103mas s\u0103 fac\u0103 politic\u0103 la microfon \u0219i nu prin partide. De asta am pl\u0103cerea s\u0103 m\u0103 opresc pentru c\u00e2teva r\u00e2nduri \u0219i s\u0103 scriu dintr-o perspectiv\u0103 politic\u0103 despre ultimul album al trupei Sleaford Mods: Key Markets. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"mp\"Re\u021beta e simpl\u0103, domnul Williamson e cu versurile, <\/span>Andrew Fearn cu muzica. La nivel de gen sunt destul de greu \u00eencadrabili, av\u00e2nd elemente de electro, hip-hop sau punk, un critic numind treaba asta „pugilistic-post-punk style bass\u201d (Mark Fischer, The Wire). Prin numele s\u0103u trupa se autodefine\u0219te mai degrab\u0103 ironic ca \u0219i \u201dmods\u201d. Cu excep\u021bia asum\u0103rii condi\u021biei de clas\u0103 muncitoare, pu\u021bine lucruri din stilistica \u0219i din estetica acestoara au leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu subcultura care ultragia Anglia la sf\u00e2r\u0219itul anilor 60. Ace\u0219ti mod\u0219i postmoderni, vin mai degrab\u0103 pe filiera b\u0103tr\u00e2nilor punki\u0219ti John Cooper Clarke \u0219i Mark Smith pu\u0219i pe subiecte mai recente, care seam\u0103n\u0103 cu cele ale lui The Streets sau <\/span><\/span>Half Man Half Biscuit. <\/span><\/span>Dincolo de estetic, b\u0103ie\u021bii sunt mai degrab\u0103 o trup\u0103 de post-punk, \u00een primul r\u00e2nd pentru spirit avangardist, vers caustic \u0219i asumat politic.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Versurile joac\u0103 \u00eentre ambiguitatea unui beatnik care converseaz\u0103 cu un <\/span>lad<\/i><\/span> de cartier; Jason \u00eenjur\u0103 mult, \u0219i e greu s\u0103 distingi cu exactitate de pe ce pozi\u021bie de putere c\u00e2nt\u0103. Abund\u0103 un soi de flux dadaist al con\u0219tiin\u021bei acestuia, fiecare vers necesit\u00e2nd o audi\u021bie cu \u00eencetinitorul, odat\u0103 pentru accentul \u0219i slangul de Midlands a lui <\/span><\/span>Williamson<\/span> \u0219i apoi pentru c\u0103 acesta trece destul de abrupt de la un motiv la altul.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Key Markets are totu\u0219i consecven\u021b\u0103, \u0219i poate fi rezumat prin celebrul \u201dNo Future\u201e pe care-l urla <\/span><\/span>Johnny Rotten la sf\u00e2r\u0219itul anilor 70, parc\u0103 prev\u0103z\u00e2nd venirea lui Thatcher. De data asta, pesimismul celor de la Sleford Mods e legat de efectele crizei, de austeritate \u0219i de dec\u0103derea clasei mucitoare \u00een Marea Britanie. <\/span><\/span>\u201dIt is it right to analyze in a general sense the capital machine\/ Its working and what they mean?\u201d (Face to faces) este una dintre cheile de \u00een\u021belegere a ceea ce fac Mod\u0219ii: capitalismul trebuie chestionat! Pe de alt\u0103 parte critica nu vine pe-o filier\u0103 intelectualist-culturalist\u0103, cu performanceuri elitiste ori citate din Deleuze, ci mai degrab\u0103 pe-o filier\u0103 Oi! Punk, Williamson fiind un ins din popor, un \u201d<\/span>average blue collar\u201d, unde call center-ul este noua fabric\u0103, a\u0219a cum \u00ee\u0219i descrie acesta condi\u021bia<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Albumul abund\u0103 \u00een ironii stilistice. De exemplu, \u201dLive tonight\u201d \u00eencepe cu un c\u00e2ntec de galerie, ce aminte\u0219te de scand\u0103rile din Quadrophenia, un fel de voce a st\u0103zii pe care Jason \u0219i-o asum\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 prea mult\u0103 modestie: \u201d<\/span><\/span>still some out there who believe in the lie of work till you die, of Sundays apple pie, death waits for every man!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Atunci c\u00e2nd nu e nihilist sau un \u00eenfuriat, Jason e ironic: \u201dDead will fall, no one’s bothered\/ You\u2019re trapped, me too\/ Alienation, no one’s bothered\u201d (No one\u2019s bothered). Bronx in a six este prima pies\u0103 de pe album care intr\u0103 tare ca un strig\u0103t de furie de trei minute. Viza\u021bi sunt parveni\u021bii middle class: \u201d<\/span><\/span>Just like you with ya Maharishi shoulder bag\/ Walking the strip like you fucking own the path\/ You wonder why you got no mates?\/ You pretend to be proud of ya own culture\/ Whilst simultaneously not giving two fucks about ya own culture\/ What culture? Fuck culture\u201d. Ca-ntr-un manifest strigat la o portavoce, acesta condamn\u0103 \u201dtr\u0103darea\u201d cauzei clasei muncitoare pentru \u201d<\/span><\/span>Clean white tiles, a view to the garden, a room with a poo\u201d, adic\u0103 comodificare \u0219i pseudo-emancipare prin acces la consum. Referin\u021ba la \u201dap\u0103rarea propriei culturi\u201d este cel mai probabil un atac la direc\u021bia na\u021bionalist\u0103 \u0219i conservatoare de a argumenta lucrurile \u00een privin\u021ba imigra\u021biei sau a globaliz\u0103rii, \u00een general. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

O alt\u0103 tem\u0103 recurent\u0103 este pozi\u021bia de inferioritate pe care \u0219i-o asum\u0103 clasele de jos. De\u0219i unele versuri sunt inspirate sau parafraze din Marx, Jason este mai degrab\u0103 fatidic \u0219i \u00eemp\u0103cat cu soarta <\/span>underclass-ului<\/i><\/span>: \u201d<\/span>Silent dreams are a blag on time\/ They get away with the worst crimes\/ You fall fast in a void of pain\/ Only to remember that you still remain\u201d (<\/span><\/span>Silly me). Vampirismul clasei de mijloc \u00een a imita \u0219i poza \u00een masculinitatea \u0219i dress code-ul subculturilor de odinioar\u0103 este condamnat \u00een <\/span>Cunt make it up<\/i><\/span>: \u201dWannabes never change\/, it’s the wannabe show\/ And you always wanna be the same, posy shit\/ And leather jacket, motorbikes from the 50’s\/ You live in Carlton2<\/sup><\/a> you twat\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sleaford Mods lovesc \u00een plex capitalismul ca \u00eentreg: \u201d<\/span>New build, new bricks\/ New methods, old tricks\u201d, compar\u00e2nd via\u021ba \u00eentr-o astfel de lume ca un jaf al rutinei zilnice: \u201d<\/span><\/span>This daylight robbery is now so fucking hateful\/ It\u2019s accepted by the vast majority\/ In chains years from now\u201d. <\/span>Versul \u201dPassive articles on political debate\/ Its implications are fucking meaningless, mate\u201d vorbe\u0219te despre hoaxul de pe ecranele televizoarelor care legitimeaz\u0103 clase \u00eentregi de in\u0219i afla\u021bi la putere \u0219i al c\u0103ror \u201ddezbateri\u201d nu influen\u021beaz\u0103 \u0219i nu dau vreun sens vie\u021bii de zi cu zi a celor de jos. Dup\u0103 Jason, sistemul marelui capital e-n tot \u0219i-n toate; ne love\u0219te \u0219i ne condamn\u0103 la delir: \u201d<\/span>He\u2019s still with us\/ In our arses, in our food, in our brains and in our death\/ In our failure to grab hold of what fucking little we have left\/ We have lost the sight and in the loss of sight\/ We have lost our fucking minds, alright\/\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00cen In quite streets, refrenul \u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>That\u2019s the angle\u201d fotografiaz\u0103 neroman\u021bat \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 floricele str\u0103zile prea lini\u0219tite ale claselor de jos, al \u201d<\/span><\/span>nowhere money in nowhere land\u201d. <\/span><\/span>Jason folose\u0219te o metafor\u0103 mi\u0219to c\u00e2nd vorbe\u0219te despre cum se vinde for\u021ba de produc\u021bie. Acesta compar\u0103 ziua de lucru a muncitorului cu vinderea viselor, a sufletului dar f\u0103c\u00e2nd-o prin infantilizare, ca la programul unei cre\u0219e: \u201dWe put our souls in nursery for the day\/ Pick ‘em up after work, take ‘em home\/ Try \u2018n get ‘em in bed tucked up before 10 o\u2019clock\u201d. \u00centr-un final suntem \u201dthe wooden horses on wooden race courses at fairs\u201d, pe de o parte prin\u0219i \u00eentr-o capcan\u0103 ca ni\u0219te hamsteri, \u00eentr-o roat\u0103 care se rote\u0219te absurd, pe de alta, suport pentru \u201dlumea carnavalului, a spectacolului\u201d a celor care-\u0219i permit caruselul \u0219i stau pe spin\u0103rile noastre. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Williamson, a\u0219a cum declar\u0103 \u00eentr-unul din interviuri, nu este un adept al \u201dc\u00e2ntecului perfect\u201d, deci al esteticului hitului atunci c\u00e2nd vine vorba de scris piese, din cauza asta pentru un ascult\u0103tor de produse bine ambalate, Key Market s-ar putea s\u0103 sune dintr-o bucat\u0103, u\u0219or improvizat \u0219i absurd pe alocuri. Beatul lui <\/span><\/span>Fearne este auster \u0219i f\u0103r\u0103 nici un fel de jonglerii, trimi\u021b\u00e2nd ascult\u0103torul spre vers: <\/span><\/span>\u201dGood, I fuckin’ laugh like fuck at ya wannabe labels, shoots on location\/ Cut blokes in stables ra, ra, ra\u201d (Bronx in a six). Totodat\u0103 versul este \u0219i un statement despre ce-ar trebui s\u0103 fie muzica, evident\u0103 fiind critica lui Jason la comodificarea produsului artistic. \u201dRadio edit, oh it’s so nice\u201d este totodat\u0103 o aluzie la lipsa temelor importante din distribu\u021bia media, a \u00eemburgheziirii \u0219i neutraliz\u0103rii politice absolute a culturii pop. <\/span><\/span>Desprinderea de pozitivismul \u0219i spiritul <\/span>catchy<\/i><\/span> al brit-popului nu este doar stilistic\u0103 ci \u0219i personal\u0103: \u201dSpitting out fine cheese made by the tool from Blur3<\/sup><\/a>\/ Even the drummers a fucking MP4<\/sup><\/a><\/span>, fuck off you cunt, sir\/ Die trying whilst the others just live lying\/ Rife all polish, no strife\u201d (Rupert Trousers). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Unele dintre pu\u021binele critici care pot fi aduse albumului e c\u0103 are infuzii destul de mari de testosteron \u0219i trateaz\u0103 pedant temele crizei, dar o face mai degrab\u0103 din perspectiva metropolei, a felului \u00een care se simte la Nottingham ori la Londra, \u0219i nimic despre criza lumii la periferie. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dac\u0103 ar fi s\u0103 compar\u0103m cu proiecte hip-hop locale care ori par a fi o reinventare cool a C\u00e2nt\u0103rii Rom\u00e2niei (de tipul Subcarpa\u021bi), cu albume \u00eentregi ce v\u00e2neaz\u0103 din complexe de inferioritate \u201dcocalari\u201d \u0219i incul\u021bi ori albume de hip-hop na\u021bionalist \u0219i xenofob care \u00eemp\u00e2nzesc \u201dundergroundul\u201d nostru, Key Markets ar trebui f\u0103r\u0103 \u00eendoial\u0103 ascultat. \u0218i nu conteaz\u0103 dac\u0103 o faci ca refugiu ori pentru c\u0103 sim\u021bi c\u0103-i necesar s\u0103 dai \u00een cei care au puterea. Key Markets este m\u0103rf\u0103 rar\u0103 \u00een industria muzical\u0103 de ast\u0103zi, \u0219i pentru cine ascult\u0103 e un manifest la rupt lan\u021buri. S\u0103-l ascult\u0103m pentru c\u0103-i mi\u0219to, \u0219i pentru c\u0103 nici la metropol\u0103 nici \u00een colonii, nu se-anun\u021b\u0103 prea mult soare. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
