The Airportline: Observations

Organic food. Organic milk, organic peanut butter and organic t-shirts. This is just a sample of the plethora of organic things in the world. It’s a revival even eclipsing that of the new-rave generation. Since I am too poor for most organic food, and I only own one organic t-shirt, I’ve concentrated on organic music instead. Organic music really has nothing to do with the environment, or pesticides. Organic music is the kind of music that has its own life, where the sound is ‘alive’. Organic mostly means playing on any instrument not in any way attached to the German electro group Kraftwerk. For me organic music is a few American hippies walking up the stairs to an apartment building in a Paris-suburb, and only equipped with a piano, their voices and a sudden choir of ‘man on the street’ French people bring out one of last years most beautiful pieces of music. Airportline loves Paris by the way. And the band Yeasayer. And LaBlogotheque of course. You can push play and be quiet now.
