What music are you listening to / art are you checking out these days?

We get our music fix from SRC’s bandeapart.fm, CBC Radio 3, Soma FM & Couleur 3 (Switzerland).

Why should people, especially youth, vote?

Voting is your sole form of peaceful protest. Even if voting rarely makes a difference (most political parties have hidden agendas and are dictated to by big business, covert organizations, etc.) it’s still better to vote than not to vote UNLESS the system is so corrupt that voting for certain parties may have serious repercussions if your voting preference is exposed (i.e. not really a secret ballot).

For you, is there a connection between art and democracy? What is it?

Art is democracy. Without art democracy is nonexistent. Any political state that attempts to control (i.e. censure) art is not a democracy. Therefore, there are few true democracies in the world....

Why do you care about community, when it is so easy not to?

We care about community because we live in a community. However, it’s sometimes easy not to when you become very cynical of the whole socio-political process.

What do you look for in a politician? What do you expect from your MP?

We look for honesty, commitment, dedication and a sincere lack of bullshit and spin doctoring techniques in a politician. We look for the same in our MPs but we expect nothing from any politician but power, corruption and lies. NEVER TRUST A POLITICIAN!
