Hemm hu l-emblema tal-vojt. L-epitomija tan-non-sens. Il-partiġjan tipiku. Hip, hip, ħu go fik! Hemm hu. Magna orwelljana ta’ non sequitur u ċapċip fieragħ, mass meeting solo ta slogans irrilevanti, baħar ta’ bnadar bħanan go moħħu jixxejru ghal logħba li lanqas midalja ma tagħtih. Hemm hu. Ħsiebu bħal għama jdamdam bil-goff mal-parapetti u l-wesgħat ta’ din [...]

Alex Vella Gera was the guest Maltese author for this year’s Festival des Immigrations. Vella Gera returned to Luxembourg (he has worked here in the past) wearing his new vestiges of notorious author and under the spotlight for his latest work “is-Sriep regġħu saru velenużi”. The Festival des Immigrations is now in its 30th year [...]

Lil Facebook nistħajlu Paceville. Saru jitkellmu dwaru qisu kull ma ssib fih huwa ħażin u ta’ min jistmerru. Qatt ma nitgħallmu jaħasra. L-ingliżi jgħidu “a bad worker blames his tools”. Ma nafx jekk hemmx frażi ekwivalenti bil-Malti. Issa pero forsi sibt rokna tal-internet fejn insir naf. Dan l-aħħar skoprejt grupp ġdid fuq facebook. Jismu “kelma [...]

Fu*king Censorship

They’re at it again. There’s a sector of our so-called “artistic community” who insist on operating strictly on terms that equate their freedom of expression to some school project approved by teacher and headmaster. Already when the Stitching case first came to light we had many a protest about “the death of expression” and mock [...]

Dalgħodu jien u nsuq lejn ix-xogħol minn dari gawdejt festival ta’ lwien li jpaxxi s-sensi. It-temp bħal donnu żamm biss sakemm l-eredi tad-Dukat qal is-sinjorsi u issa beda jħejji għall-wasla tax-xitwa. Il-kuluri tas-siġar ilhom li bdew ikanġu mill-aħdar sal-oranġjo, bil-fided u ħmura okkażjonali. Madre natura wasal żmienha u l-għelieqi fit-tramuntana tal-belt qed jeħilsu mill-mantijiet tagħhom [...]

Trid tkun vaganza kulltant biex troddlok lura il-perspettiva li tkun tlift mat-triq tar-rutina u l-ħajja ta’ kuljum. Minkejja li għoddni għaddejt ġimagħtejn sew Malta dawk ma servewnix għal dan l-iskop. Dal-weekend morna Nizza. Jumejn kollox. Tlaqna il-ġimgħa u lura l-Ħadd tard filgħaxija. Sabiħa wisq Nizza. Mhux sabiħa fis-sens turistiku imma fis-sens storiku u ċiviku. Hija [...]

The new makeover at Air Malta has hit the headlines. Inevitably the discussion has centred on the cost (€2m) and not on the content. The press chose to highlight the fury of the pilot’s union when it complained that such an expense was not justified given the sacrifices that workers are being made to bear [...]

A tribute to Adam Yauch – the Beasties MCA – at the Hollywood Bowl on the 4th of May 2012. You may not like Coldplay, you might not L.U.V. Madonna but the extent of the impact of the Beasties is still being gauged. And for not too weird a reason I am still in shock. [...]

The Beasties and I

It must have been a Wednesday in 1988. I know that it must have been 1988 because  I have a feeling we were two second formers and there is a high probability that it was a Wednesday because that was our day off school. On that day back in 1988 my friend and I met [...]

The Half-Baked Interview

So, we’ve been noticing that other blogs (Ramonadepares that’s you) have been going off interviewing bands in general and in particular. The last interview with the greatest band to hit Malta since the Beangrowers demiscegenated into something new got our attention. Here at J’accuse we like to do things strangely every once in a while [...]
