Monday & Music ,(Beirut)

There is one thing that goes hand in hand with nightlife, and to go even further, with life itself. That one this is music. The music world is vast and to me seems endless. On a weekly basis I attend clubs, pubs and events that fill my ears with melodies. It is always a great thing to expand your music library. Whether you are a DJ, a rock-star, an industry professional or more importantly a true fan of music, coming across new solid tunes is more than a pleasure.

Every week I post a list of 10 artists, albums or songs to check out, in hopes to share my music library with fellow BNLer’s.

Feel free to leave comments regarding my suggestions or your own music suggestions in the comment box below.

1. Right There – Nicole Scherzinger: Sexy sexy sexy! Nicole and the song both. This is a hot jam that will put you in the mood to dance and seductively. Nicole Scherzinger is the font woman of the group the Pussy Cat Dolls but now has her solo work to be proud of, especially this song.

2. Hard – Rihanna: Yeah, yeah, yeah she’s so hard…This is track you have got to turn up. Bad Girl Riri is so hard! Her thug attitude is the best and it comes out in this song. In the lyrics Rihanna let’s us know that her “reign just won’t let up”…. This song also features Young Jeezy.

3. Glad You Came – The Wanted: This is a song by the recently very popular British/Irish boy band, The Wanted. The song peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, not bad for their second single. I predict that this group is just going to get bigger.

4. Mashrou3 Leila: This is an alternative rock band that Lebanon can be proud to call its own. The band is all from and currently resides in Lebanon. The band has released two studio albums but trust me you must check them out live!

5. November Rain – Guns N’ Roses: Classic! This band and this song are just timeless. The song was written by famous singer Axl Rose and features a sweeping orchestral backing. It is one of Guns N’ Roses’ longest songs and definitely one of my favorite.

6. Gigi l’amoroso – Dalida: Aside from the fact that Dalida is one of my favorite singers/artists of all time this song is amazing. Dalida is an incredible and very cultured woman she recorded songs in literally more than 10 languages that included French, English and Arabic among many others. Check out this song and all of Dalida’s work.

7. Hand That Feeds – Nine Inch Nails: I will most likely mention Nine Inch Nails several times in future posts but I will start with The Hand That Feeds, which was released as the lead single for the album With Teeth. It is the highest charting song by Nine Inch Nails on all charts except for U.S. because their single “Only” took that spot. Nine Inch Nails are raw and unmatched when it comes to rock music. Check them out you will see what I mean.

8. Paint It, Black – The Rolling Stones: This song is more like an anthem to me. It’s the first single from the US version of their fourth album entitled Aftermath. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote this epic song.

9. Save The World – Swedish House Mafia: All year we heard the questions “Who’s gonna save the world tonight?” Thanks to the Swedish House Mafia and John Martin, who sang and co-wrote the song with the house music trio. The song received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording, and in my opinion should have won.

10. Changes – David Bowie: Changes is a masterpiece. It is one of Bowie’s best-known songs. The lyrics are often seen as a manifesto for his chameleonic personality, the frequent change of the world today, and frequent reinventions of his musical style throughout the 1970s. This is the last song Bowie performed live on stage before his retirement from live performances at the end of 2006.

Kakiemon elephants From Japan, Edo period, late 17th century AD ,(London)

prosumerzen — Wed, 23 May 2012 15:33:32 +0000

These splendid elephants are made from porcelain with a milky-white glaze called nigoshide, decorated with brilliant overglaze enamels in yellow, red, green and blue — in the so-called ‘Kakiemon’ style.

Many such models of animals, such as dogs, cats, deer, boars and horses, were made as ornaments for European mantelpieces.

Real elephants would not have been seen in Japan at this time, and these unusual examples were likely ordered specially by merchants of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) for export.

Porcelain making began in Japan relatively late, in the 1610s. For several decades around the fall of the Ming dynasty in 1644, production in China was curtailed, giving an opportunity for Japanese makers temporarily to take over the trade.

From about 1660 potters near Arita in Kyushu began Kakiemon-style decoration in overglaze coloured enamels and these elephants date from the period 1660-90.

The Poetry of the Taliban

prosumerzen — Wed, 23 May 2012 07:00:06 +0000

Speakers: Felix Kuehn and Alex van Linschoten

The poetry of the Taliban, treated by many analysts as mere propaganda, is a prominent part of how they present themselves to the Afghan population. Felix Kuehn and Alex Strick van Linschoten have collected over 200 poems drawing upon Afghan legend and recent history as well as upon a long tradition of Persian, Urdu and Pashto verse.
The poems, most of which have been published on Taliban websites, offer a very different perspective on fighters often perceived as dourly ideological and devoid of humanity and provide a unique insight into their motivations.

Per tutta la settimana ripeteremo questo articolo in ognuno degli inzines , ( internet magazines),del crossmedia per ricordare le stragi compiute da un non state actor appartenente alla categoria del trannational organized crime noto come mafia .

Provocatoria la scelta di usare 10 teschi invece di altrettante foto.

Provocatoria perche´siamo in giornate post-ballottaggio ed a parte le dichiarazioni , i twitter di rito ed i ” copia&incolla” di citazioni colte nei facebook la testa delle dirigenze delle politics elected elites e´presa a verificare quanti consiglieri ed assessori si siano incamerati o persi… se non a strumentalizzare il ricordo a fini post-ballottaggio

Provocatoria perche´stiamo parlando di un assasinio e quindi non e´il tempo dello sfumato ,del soft, del politically correct … .

Provocatorio che i primi due teschi, quelli per testimoniare Giovanni Falcone e Paolo Borsellino,siano senza nome dato che che la brevita´dei messaggi twitter, facebook, sms e le necessita´di ottimizzare lo spazio degli articoli dimentica troppo spesso chemorirono in 10 e di citare i nomi di tutti… . Tutti servitori dello state actor chamato Italia.

Per meglio commemorare abbiamo deciso di usare una frase molto profonda scritta da una giovane Ambasciatrice della Lega Italiana dei Diritti Umani , Silvia Morini, a commento del viaggio che hanno fatto con la Presidentessa della LIDU, Tiziana Gardini, presso la Corte di Giustizia Internazionale per assistere ad una seduta del processo contro il boia dei Balcani.

“Non è esperienza da tutti i giorni e tantomeno un’opportunità offerta di frequente quella di assistere ad un processo in aula, figurarsi quando è in gioco il giudizio di chi ha a proprio carico l’accusa di aver distrutto migliaia di vite umane. Quasi annoiato lo sguardo dell’imputato, mentre segue l’ennesima seduta volta a giudicare la sua condotta. Esperienza già vista per lui ma molto nuova per noi, che ci guardiamo intorno attenti a cogliere ogni minimo segnale e particolare per riuscire ad immagazzinare più elementi possibili di quell’esperienza che comunque sappiamo irripetibile. E ci stupiamo, ascoltiamo, impariamo. Cresciamo noi e contemporaneamente cresce la nostra consapevolezza del mondo“

(Silvia Morini / Ambasciatrice LIDU http://prosumerzen.net/lega-internazionale-per-i-diritti-umani/)

Le parole di Silvia ci hanno fatto pensare ai visi dei capi e dei membri del non state actor chiamato mafia troppe volte visti nei tribunali ed alle migliaia di persone che hanno condannato ad una “morte bianca” nel quotidiano della loro vita.

Grazie Giovanni,Paolo,Francesca,Antonio,Rocco,Emanuela,Vincenzo,Claudio .

Yayoi Kusama at Tate Modern , London

prosumerzen — Tue, 15 May 2012 09:21:21 +0000

One of Japan’s best-known living artists, Yayoi Kusama’s work spans more than six decades. This Tate Modern exhibition follows her career from early paintings of provincial Japan to the daring advances that followed.

Kusama is known for her immersive artworks, and the exhibition features a series of rooms covered in hallucinatory polka dots, mirrors and more.

About Yayoi Kusama

Kusama was born in Matsumoto, Japan in 1929. She trained in traditional Japanese painting while also exploring the European and American avant-garde.

After moving to the United States in the late 1950s, Kusama forged her own direction in sculpture and installation, adopting techniques of montage and soft sculpture, which influenced artists including Andy Warhol.

In the 1960s Kusama moved from painting, sculpture and collage to installations, films and performances. In 1973 she returned to Japan, where she began a parallel career as a poet and novelist.

Highlights of the Yayoi Kusama Exhibition

Highlights of the Yayoi Kusama exhibition include:

Infinity Mirrored Room – Filled with the Brilliance of Life 2011, Kusama’s largest mirrored room to date, created especially for the show
A group of Kusama’s first Infinity Net paintings from her early years in New York
Aggregation: One Thousand Boats Show 1963, her first room installation
A selection of Sex Obsession and Food Obsession Accumulation Sculptures dating from 1962 to 1968
Kusama’s Self-Obliteration 1968, a film capturing her period of experimental performance
The Clouds 1984, a sculptural installation comprising 100 black and white cushions
Heaven and Earth 1991, which features snake-like forms emerging from 40 boxes
I’m Here, but Nothing 2000, a dark space covered with fluorescent polka dots
