good old father time is dragooned into the revolutionary forces (universal love as terrace chant)

your humble interlocutor is here. outside of the window it is a grade A grey day. who knows - maybe it will clear.



horsemouth's musical item of choice today is   everybody get together by the dave clark five (and the youngbloods) but actually originally by dino valenti of quicksilver messenger service. in the dave clark version it is universal love as terrace chant.


horsemouth first found it as a shortened live from big sur (joni mitchell, crosby, stills, nash (no young?) and a crowd full of hippies) version.

horsemouth’s book discovery of the day was time for revolution (by antonio negri) in which it is suggested that not only is it time for revolution but that good old father time is dragooned into the revolutionary forces because what is equivalent in capitalist exchange is not merely money but the labour time involved in making it, so time not merely measures work but reduces it to a homogenous substance - time is thus the form of productive power, the thing that makes the workers necessary, the thing that gives power to the workers. today - more reading.

tomorrow back to the city (and beers with howard probably).
