The band Dirty Projectors has announced the successor to Bitte Orca. That album, from 2009, will be followed up by a new one next spring. In an interview with Spin the band’s Dave Longstreth said that most songs will be linked to the themes of horror and fear. So naturally, one of the songs on the new album is named About to Die.
It is often thought that the gladiators in Rome said Those who are about to die salute you. A breaking new research by L.P. Ubenstortze, however, sheds a new light on this. He says, Yes, they had to say that to whomever was in the ancient equivalent of the Royal Box, however the big boys – the ones that were most likely to bully your feminine kid if they would’ve been in high school today – often tried to get around it. For if they said exactly that, it would seem submissive and fatalistic. So what they often did was say something like Those who are about to die salute you, and then they just did not salute. Or Those who are about to lie salute you, Those who are about to pry salute you, or Those who designed that fabulous window treatment should stand here and die and salute you. A startling innovation came when some of them started to cross their fingers behind their back to indicate they didn’t mean it, something that has influenced playground activities amongst youth everywhere.
