For the unadulterated representation and for the relief of this overworked biographer, we will now quote the manifesto of the Berlin discourse-pop group Trucks verbatim:

»Trucks is a band from Berlin. A band whose music and name are means of transport. Transport for something in particular. First: –25 degrees is equally cold everywhere. Second: I felt better before I moved to Berlin. Third: I’ve seen the beauty of the world! Fourth: where has it been these past years? Fifth: sleep—please sleep. The inheritance of every text is a piece of white paper. A template without form, whose information, thanks to abstraction, seems cryptic, and thus already discloses any and all information. Emoticons are not emotions. An SMS is not a letter. Trucks are not cargo vehicles.«

You get the idea—strumming away against the present, slogans for the ego. A little 90s, somewhat unwieldy, pretty darn on-point!
