Jim Jarmuch and Jozef van Wissem to release album

Renowned filmmaker Jim Jarmush and long time collaborator Jozef van Wissem, who is a Dutch composer, are releasing an album on the 28th of February. The album will be called Concerning the Entrance to Eternity, and it will be released through Important Records. Jarmusch is perhaps best known as a director, being responsible for films like Mystery Train, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai with Forest Whitaker, and Broken Flowers with Bill Murray. All of these films were nominated for the Palme d’Or. One of the tracks will be called  ‘The Sun of the Natural World is Pure Fire’.


It has officially been announced that the sun of the natural world indeed is pure fire. It was long  thought so, but when early scientists like Galilei got interested in the subject, they pondered, Well, but what evidence do we have? How do we know for sure? Enlightened folk thought that perhaps we have ingrained ourselves so much with the idea that the sun is indeed a ball of fire that we just have convinced ourselves that it is so. Karl Marx said, Probably, the way we’re all being cheated by the rich people, it’s just yellow paint on a canvas as they just want to keep us dumb and keep believing in the magical. Sceptics thought it probably was half fire, and half plastic, though Freud said, Nein, impossible, it would burn! And then the smell would be intolerable, and that alone would downgrade the standard of living everywhere but New York.
