Frau - Pull The Plug

Pull The Plug is the starting point for Parasite Lottery, and was written from the perspective of the politicians and policy makers that are cutting cultural budgets. As it so often is, the argument of Pull The Plug is mainly pragmatic: in times of crisis and exigency, it argues, there is no room for arts and culture, and the disgruntlement of those who think differently cannot change a thing about that. Furthermore, phrases like "leftist hobbies" make clear that pulling the plug is a conscious political move, as well an attempt at silencing of voices that are opposed to official policy. This song is part of Parasite Lottery, a pilot version of a collective lottery system for art organizations in the Netherlands and their communities proposed by Wok The Rock and Casco.
