Alphatra - "La Fuite". Like trying to reason with your laptop battery. C'mon guy, give me five more minutes. Batteries cannot be reasoned with. Like your torn shirt: it's torn, no taking it back. Like the lightbulb gone out. Negotiating with a part of life, arguing with it, finally raging at it. Gathering your friends and their guitars and instructing them to help you make your point, like that can accomplish anything, like you and your hoarse voice and your thundering amps and your stamping drums can build a convincing case for anything besides the solidity of your chords and chording.
[from La Souterraine's latest anthology, Vol. 7]

I was just trying to reason with my ink-jet printer, and not getting anywhere. This is the perfect song for the moment... especially since I have no idea a) what the guy is saying, and b) what's going on with my printer.
It’s got a nice beat, though (the song, not the printer), and I can dance to it.
p.s. I guessed that ‘fuite‘ meant ‘futility’ (turns out it doesn’t), which would have been even more perfect.
