(The late Ravi Shankar, 1920-2012)
Après six mois d'un mutisme assourdissant et d'une subséquente inexorable ascension d'inquiétude chez nos lecteurs les plus atrabilaires, nous revoilà enfin au travail, du moins le temps de quelques articles au ton toujours aussi désespérément ampoulé et à la syntaxe définitivement indigeste et confuse. Vous êtes prévenus.
Nous vous conseillons cependant d'essayer de passer outre nos sempiternelles logorrhées et autres tergiversations superfétatoires, dans les limites évidemment des susceptibilités de chacun, et de vous intéresser plutôt au passionnant contenu qui est malheureusement, nous vous le concédons, très peu mis à son avantage dans cette enveloppe pompeuse et pédante rédigée par une bande de cuistres à destination malgré tout d'authentiques esthètes.
Finissons-en donc avec ces badineries superflues et passons aux réjouissances, puisque 2013 ne fait que commencer pour nous il est de coutume d'ouvrir le bal avec un bilan de l'année passée. L'occasion donc de porter un regard critique sur cette fastueuse année 2012 avant qu'un quelconque pastiche de loi Gayssot vienne nous interdire toute irruption impromptue dans un passé pourtant déjà fort sibyllin.
After six months of a deafening silence and a subsequent inexorable rise of anxiety among the most anguished of our readers, we are finally back to work, at least for a couple of articles as always hopelessly turgid and indigestible and with a definitely confused syntax. You have been warned.
However, we advise you to try to override our endless logorrhea to focus on the exciting content that is unfortunately poorly highlighted in this pompous and pedantic envelope written by a bunch of conceited folks for authentic aesthetes.
So let's get these unnecessary poppycocks over and get down to business. 2013 has only just begun for us so as is the custom let's open the ball with a review of the past year.
En guise de hors d'oeuvre, une sélection de 12 des morceaux qui nous ont le plus enthousiasmé cette année:
