Tonight's The Night Of Night: Justice Concert

 Tonight will be the Justice concert and I am totally excited. It's been so long, since I've been to a concert and I just love Justice!

This is not the outfit I am going to wear, but the outfit I wore, while checking coats at our university's club. It's easy work, just at busy times it can be stressful. I worked together with a friend the whole night through, which was quite exhausting at the end, but we had fun together. If I'll get the opportunity to work at the club again, I am taking it. So to say, it's easy money.

Dancing Through The History Fashion

100 YEARS / STYLE / EAST LONDON from Ad Eight creatieve communicatie on Vimeo.

For the opening of the biggest shopping mall inside a city in europe, which was opened this year, in East London, this commercial has been created. It shows sequential a pair of dancers, who are wearing, while dancing to different kind of music from the changing decades, varying clothes from 100 years of fashion during 100 seconds.

In my opinion, this is an interesting and creative idea and has been carried out well.

RUBBER OFFICIAL TRAILER ! from oizo mr on Vimeo.

[first lines]
Lieutenant Chad: In the Steven Spielberg movie E.T., why is the alien brown? No reason. In Love Story, why do the two characters fall madly in love with each other? No reason. In Oliver Stone's JFK, why is the President suddenly assassinated by some stranger? No reason. In the excellent Chain Saw Massacre by Tobe Hooper, why don't we ever see the characters go to the bathroom or wash their hands like people do in real life? Absolutely no reason. Worse, in The Pianist by Polanski, how come this guy has to hide and live like a bum when he plays the piano so well? Once again the answer is, no reason. I could go on for hours with more examples. The list is endless. You probably never gave it a thought, but all great films, without exception, contain an important element of no reason. And you know why? Because life itself is filled with no reason. Why can't we see the air all around us? No reason. Why are we always thinking? No reason. Why do some people love sausages and other people hate sausages? No fucking reason.
Cop Xavier: [honks the horn] Come on! Don't waste your time explaining that garbage. Let's go!
Lieutenant Chad: Just a minute, let me finish.
[looks back at the audience]
Lieutenant Chad: Ladies, gentlemen, the film you are about to see today is an homage to the "no reason" - that most powerful element of style.
[pours his glass of water on the ground before getting back into the trunk of the police car] 

One of the best things about studying is that I get to meet a lot of people, who are all coming from different backgrounds and therefor have totally different ideas and thoughts about things. There are two things I love to get inspired by other people: One is music and the other is movies. Sometimes those two things go hand in hand together. I mean what is a movie without the soundtrack and what is a good song without a musicvideo? 

One of my student colleagues loves Justice as much as I do, but (as always) he is more obsessed with them. I somehow seem to have lost my ability of being obsessed with things at some point in my life. But hopefully some day it will come back as suddenly as I lost it.

Anyways, we watched a movie together called "Rubber" directed by Quentin Dupieux (who is also well known as Mr Oizo, who created Flat Eric). It's about a tire, who after he discovers his destructive telepathic powers, soon sets his sights on a desert town; in particular, a mysterious woman becomes his obsession. The reason why my friend knew about this particular movie is that Mr Oizo teamed up with Gaspard Auge from Justice for the soundtrack. So you can expect really good music during this movie.

Honestly, I don't think this movie is one the general public would like to enjoy. It has a confusing maybe even somehow disturbing plot, eventhough in the first few minutes the movie explains itself through Lieutnand Chad (as you can see in the quote above). So if you can get used to the thought that there is absolute no reason for anything in this movie, it does make sense. Actually, it didn't bother me so much, because you see great and beautiful pictures, well set camera angles and the soundtrack is amazing. All in all, a movie which I am grateful about that I could enjoy it, even if it left me with a feeling of "What the fuck?". If you are able to see it one day, take the chance, it's worth it!

I Choose My Words Like Wise Man Do

Is there anyone out there, who thinks that Aserbaidschan deserved to win the Eurovision Song Contest?

I don't think so. 

This is my personal favourite.
Maybe it's not a number one hit, but it started with singing in the language of the country, has a catchy beat and his voice is beautifully dark.
The icing of the cake are the stage outfits, which are grease inspired.

Everyone Should Have Two

Is this the musical answer to the recession?

Or just a version of the classic "If You Happy And You Know It, Clap Your Hands"?

I don't really get this song, but stills it sounds good. What do you mean?

Unfortunately (and as always) you can't find the official music video on youtube, so I embedded the acoustic version, but you can find the "real" one here.

Ist das die musikalische Antwort auf die Wirtschaftskrise?

Oder nur eine weiter Version des Klassikers "If you happy and you know it, clap your hands"?

Ich verstehe das Lied noch nicht ganz, aber es hört sich trotzdem gut an. Was sagt ihr?

Freedom

Yesterday (the night before my day off) I went with some coworkers to a small bookstore, where I concert took place. The singer was Stella Gotshtein, a friend of the coworker Adi, and she was great. You should start listen to her music, it's worth it!

Gestern (die Nacht vor meinem freien Tag) bin ich mit einigen Coworkern zu einem Konzert in einem Buchladen in Beer Sheva gefahren. Die Sängerin war Stella Gotshtein, ein Freund von der Coworkerin Adi, und sie war super. Ihr solltet anfangen, ihre Musik zu hören, es lohnt sich!

"As Miss Golightly was saying before she was so rudely interrupted..."

 I didn't really finish my last post, so I add the other things in a new post. 

So, this is "Balkan Beat Box". You really should start listening to their music!

With Holly I meant (of course) Holly from "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Just her outfit and the mask inspired me to wear this outfit, but I think now one made the connection except me.

Just noticed that it's been a while, since I showed you some music.
This is my favourite dancing piece at the moment:

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane

Saturday me and my friends were watching the horrormovie "All The Boys Love Mandy Lane". I think, it was a great film although the end is a bit confusing.
What I liked most was the music:
