Bakunin's Bum: Fight To Win! A Benefit CD for OCAP Ontario Coalition Against Poverty [2001]

The so called new one of attention for you!, does it know to what I recount?, he must be full of sauce laughing the damned drunkard, and the one who catches the printing of the private scene?, "I believe that absolutely nobody", it is important that intentions turn in the way, ideal cultural that they forge a stamp of which we can communicate tolerantly and not to commit acts of nonchalance here, COMMENT YOU!, it is a time still to shake the powder that squashes the breathing, it knows that they hide the half day, sees in your portrait the same figure of your face?.

Un nuevo llamado de atención para usted!, sabe a lo que refiero?, debe estar lleno de salsa riendo el maldito borracho, ¿y quien capte la impresión del escenario privado?, "creo que absolutamente nadie", es importante que giren propositos en el medio, ideales culturales que forjan un sello del cual podemos comunicarnos con tolerancia y no cometer actos de indiferencia aquí, COMENTE USTED!, es tiempo todavia de sacudir el polvo que aplasta la respiración, ¿sabe que esconden el medio día, ve en su retrato la misma figura de su cara?.

Bakunin's Bum

Bakunin's Bum is the newest 'beats & strings' musical/spoken word collaboration between Norman Nawrocki & beat meister/drummer Aidan from 1 Speed Bike, Exhaust & Godspeed You! Black Emporer.

Their first recording is a benefit CD for the radical Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP). It features excerpts from a speech given by two OCAP members in Montréal in December 2000, which Aidan & Norman have set to original music. Aidan provides the beats, Norman plays violin, viola, cello & odd instruments.

Author, actor, violinist, sex advocate, educator, Norman Nawrocki is a Vancouver-born, Montreal-based, internationally-acclaimed cabaret artist known for his provocative and topical work.

Aidan is a long-time Montréal activist/musician & member of the city's anarchist bookstore collective, The Librairie Alternative. His first solo album, 'droopy butt begone!' (on Constellation Records) is a sampling of his own live beats mixed with many melodic elements, slogans & rants. It's garnered rave reviews in the music press around the world.
