A message to the future by Frank Zappa.
The interview itself was actually very intelligent, I like it especially how he predicted the stagnation of commercially-oriented music by the gradual development of the attitudes and mentalities within that music industry.

In response to...
disordernow: even if they played irresistible NDW?
If they played irresistible NDW, yes, I would tear the place apart with my dadaistic dance moves. I would even sing along.
But they’re not playing irresistible NDW.

– The song of the Edelweißpiraten.

This is a scene from Michael Haneke’s The Seventh Continent (1989 imdb).
It’s a great film, and what I love about it the most, despite all the hurt, is that it gives you a raw, ugly, yet honest depiction of suicide. Absolutely fundamental, I think, for all who take even the subtlest interest in this theme, for all who might bear a romanticised idea of suicide.
