"So I took the dog for a walk up in the mountains, and put this little dog on the leash, and went out to the nature trial. And I heard this rustling and it was bear season, when they start coming down out of the heights to forage for stuff. So I started kind of creeping up and I took the leash of the dog and put it over a stick. And I walked just a little bit further and a female black bear just stood up in front of me. It was huge, full grown. Way, way big. I was scared shitless. Then, at the same time, a cub went right up the tree. So I went RARGH” - he stands up, arms held aloft in an intimidating pose - “which I’d been instructed to do. I had a pistol, because it was bear season, so I guess that would have been the last resort. I started backing up, and I was literally shaking because I was so terrified, but acting pissed at the same time. Then I was like ‘Misty’ - the name of the dog - ‘Misty, Misty, come here’. She’s freaking out because I’m screaming and yelling, and she has no idea what’s going on because she’s blind. Of course, the dog can’t get to me, because she’s tied to a stick, so I have to go back to get to the dog.” He shakes his head. “It was just the most frightening thing I’ve ever experienced.” James Mercer, Broken Bells WATCH
"Ne mogu pjevači ni proživljavati tekstove koji su stupidni jer, ako proživljavaš stupidni tekst, onda si i ti stupidan! To je tako jasno. Kad netko pjeva da mrav nosi teret ljubavi ili da mu se nosi bila boja, kako će to proživljavati? Svaka čast Joli, ali nemojte mi reći da on proživljava taj tekst. On proživljava ritam, on proživljava i radost onih koji cupkaju jer oni mogu samo cupkati, plesati na takvu glazbu. On unosi veselje među narod, i to je dobro, to je pozitivno, ali nemojte mi reći da proživljava išta drugo do radosti što će nakon toga dobiti honorar." Tereza Kesovija
"My personified animal characters are humans actually. I put them in context of doing regular things that humans do. I just simply put them in position to show as much with very little drawn. Some are lazy, some are crooks, some are just regular Harry, Dick and Tom with their own little satisfactions which will cost them life one day, like smoking or drinking. For some we feel sympathy, some are getting on our nerves, some are ugly, some are nicer, some we’d like to hug, some to kick their butt.. Graffiti are thing I naturally do since I was a kid. I always loved to play with letters. Since most people cannot read them I find it a play among the writers, like a video game with collecting points. As you evolve and grow, you find more efficient ways to put your name up. The writing which I sometimes put next to my pieces shows the way I felt at that time.. Sometimes might be some harsh sentence from a rap song, sometimes a thought from Russian literature which I might have liked." Lunar VISIT
"Deci u Fatimi se pre skoro sto godina ukazala Gospa, isto se desilo, koju desetinu godina kasnije, i njihovim vršnjacima iz Međugorja. U onom jezeru malo-malo pa se pojavljuje (ne)postojeće ćudovište, dok se našim ministrima priviđa rast životnog standarda, mirovanje cena i postojanje konkurencije. Čini mi se da sam upravo upao u to ekskluzivno društvo - ja, rab božji, Branislav Zukić, drugog septembra 2009. godine slušao sam muziku koja je toliko dobra da veći deo vremena zapravo zvuči kao proviđenje. Imenovati krivca za to moje nadrealno iskustvo uopšte nije teško. Ime mu je Leonard Koen." Clanak iz Politike, Septembar 2009. WATCH
