Spomenik: Monument to the Fallen Soldiers of the Kosmaj Partisan Detachment by Vojin Stojic & Gradimir Medaković (1970)
“The most obvious symbolic form embodied in this spomenik is that of the five-pointed star. This star (specifically the red star) was a pervasive and essential symbol to Yugoslavia, which symbolized strength and resistance, most specifically against fascism and Nazi occupation. As such, the star shape of this spomenik, designed by Vojin Stojic & Gradimir Medaković, would seem to be very appropriate given the events which transpired here.” (Info via spomenikdatabase.org
To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Just realized I've never given an upgrade on this. Well. They did announce. I am most likely not going because 1) unsuitable date 2) it's a festival 3) expensive tickets 4) even more expensive accommodation 5) I don't listen to them that much anymore so I can probably live with that
January so bad only nine inch nails announcing a show in my country could save it
