Büchner and the Future.

I have a nice literature calendar hanging above my desk. The topic is Beziehungen & Begegnungen. And this weeks quote touched my heart in a uncanny, almost frightening way:

Was kann ich sagen, als dass ich Dich liebe; was versprechen, als was in dem Worte Liebe schon liegt, Treue? Aber die sogenannte Versorgung? Student noch zwei Jahre, die gewisse Aussicht auf ein stürmisches Leben, vielleicht bald auf fremden Boden!

(What can I say but that I love you, what can I promise but what is already whithin the word love, loyalty? But the so-called support? A student for another two years, the certain prospect of a turbulent life, soon maybe on foreign soil!)*

--Georg Büchner in a letter to Wilhelmine Jaeglé, his fiancée, March 1834

Georg Büchner died 3 years later.

Love has left..

Stereogum has a new A Camp song "Love Has Left the Room" and a short Q & A with the great Nina Persson (The Cardigans, A Camp) about the song featuring this gem:

When love finally does leave the room, where does it go?
It goes to the sky bar at the Mondrian in LA and fucks with someone else.

The song's pretty decent as well. You need to sign up to download it, tho'.
