Forced withdrawal!

So it’s Christmas and I have decided to take some time out from social media for the week. Coupled with this decision I have managed to leave my Blackberry at home whilst we are visiting family for the week. Now if people know me well, they will realise that I am addicted to being connected. I am on Twitter and Facebook constantly and my Blackberry is the tool of choice to interface with these tools (although my laptop is a close second).

So why did I choose to cut my right arm off, so to speak? Well I have noticed that social media is taking over my interaction with people in real life. I’m twittering when I should be playing Duplo with my daughter. I’m checking Facebook when I should be having a conversation with my wife. There’s definitely a reason why they’re nicknamed “Crackberry” – they are addictive. Apparently Barack Obama is addicted -there are photos of his wife telling him off for using it while on the touchline watching his daughters play soccer.

A connected life is not necessarily a richer life. There are anecdotes of Washington aides checking their Blackberry’s before they have a shower in the morning. Madonna keeps hers under her pillow at night, which is apparently one of the contributing factors in her divorce. Another impact is that with so much information to choose from, we are selecting that which complements our worldview rather than being exposed to a large cross section of opinion with which to temper our outlook on the world.

For me, there’s also the realisation that I need, as I believe everyone does, to take time out from the busyness of life to focus on what is really important. My family will receive more of me, and converse more with me. I think I’ll even try and tackle a few of the many books on my tall reading pile. In Mark 2 we see that Jesus gets up early in the morning and separates himself from the hustle and bustle of life to seek His Father and listen to what he had to say. In another example of this we see Jesus after being baptised goes into the desert from an extended period of time to pray and seek God. Lastly Jesus regularly withdraws from the world to be with his group of disciples.

So lastly, I feel that we need to find the time to disconnect from the world and seek His purpose for what we are trying to achieve. The connections are just tools for us to use to further His will. If they start to take over, and you feel naked when they’re not there, then if you’re a follower of Christ, I think it’s time that you cut the cord. Man should only be dependant on Jesus. Anything else is just not gonna be the same.

So my challenge to anyone, not just Christians, is to go cold turkey and take time out from your cell phone and social networking. This is my last blog for a week. See you on the other side!

the perils of using the seek button while driving through the middle of nowhere

I was recently on an 11 hour road trip through what we’ll call the buckle of the bible belt. My truck comes equipped with a state of the art AM/FM radio – but not much else – so I quickly became well acquainted with the “seek” button.  There comes a point as one passes through the southeastern edge of America’s “heartland” (MissiGeorgiaBama) that the frequencies are suddenly abandoned. That’s right, nothing but soft white noise for miles and miles. I was in such a drive-weary haze by the time I realized that I hadn’t heard Lady GaGa in, like, atleast 20 minutes that it never occurred to me that my trusty-dusty seek button might not do me as much good as it had in the previous 6 hours. I needed music, preferably the tacky top 40 kind. You can’t accidentally fall asleep at the wheel to Lady GaGa singing about her poker face.

On a side note, the love songs that the pop stations play (Does Jeremih’s “Birthday Sex” even count as a love song?) make me wretch uncontrollably if I’m not breathing through my nose.

Onward with our story! I pressed “seek”, and the button sought. And sought. And sought. It finally came to rest on the low end of the spectrum, 91.something. There was a pause before any sound came from my speakers. In this brief moment I had time to contemplate what I was about to hear. As a general rule, stations that lie between 88.1 and about 93.1 FM tend to be either NPR (I could only hope) or fire and brimstone. Y’all know what I’m talking about. In more metropolitan areas I see billboards featuring bright, smiling, conservatively dressed anglo-saxon couples beaming mindlessly at a wooden cross advertising HIS FM 98.5 or HALO 104.3 – All Praise and Worship, All the Time! Not in BFE, kids. Out there in the middle of nowhere they don’t play bouncy Jesus-centric feel good pop songs. They play audio of the Reverend Ronny Bob Jones addressing his congregation from his pulpit at the Church of Sweet Smokin’ Jesus, Did He Just Say That?!

What I heard was not radio. It was noise pollution of the most bizarre kind. The pastor, in his most ridiculous southern Baptist the-end-uh-days-are-a-comin’ voice declared over and over again that yoga, pilates, and zen meditation are all, in fact, TOOLS OF SATAN!

Really? Pilates is a tool of Satan? That’s really unfortunate, because I love pilates. It strengthens my core. I guess by extension then I must also love Satan. Jesus never strengthened my core. I’ve never prayed to Our Heavenly Father and been miraculously blessed with a spectacular tummy.

So if pilates is a tool of Satan, does that mean that Satan in responsible for Madonna’s scary superbitch body? Maybe it is evil.

Later

Thanks for the Reminder Madonna!

‘Say what you like, do what you feel
You know exactly who you are
The time is right now
You got to decide
Stand in the back or be the star.’

- from Madonna’s Beat Goes On

Yes, I’m quoting a line from a Madonna song. I’ve been listening to 2008’s Hard Candy on my iPod during my workouts at the gym. The music, especially Beat Goes On, inspires me to move faster and push a little harder. The quoted lyrics have also grabbed my attention as I review this soon-to-be-ending year and decade, and look forward to 2010.

As the new year approaches I am envisioning myself in some new, unexplored geographical locations, growing my business as I speak in bigger venues, reaching more people through my J.O.B., forming new and powerful professional and personal alliances (that would mean I’ve got a new love, baby), and happily sharing more of myself with the world as I shine brighter and brighter.

I am ready. I am willing. I am open.

Madonna’s song rings in my ears: ‘The time is right now, You got to decide, Stand in the back or be the star.’

There is no time like right now to step into your greatness. Go on, be the star. What are you waiting for?

I’d like to send a shout out to my Facebook friend Thomas who often quotes Madonna song lyrics in his status updates to great affect. Thanks for your humor, intelligence, and inspiration Thomas! Rock on.

Today I am grateful for my Facebook friends and their endless stream of humor and insights, the world wide web, my computer skills, Jennifer at the new mani/pedi place in Chelsea (thanks for the tip Leslie!), my dentist, clean sheets, heat and hot water, my happy cat, bare trees, my body and breath, and the god/goddess in all things.

Amen.

Thanks and peace to all!

Joe

MICHAEL JACKSON, 1958-2009: A MUSICAL GENIUS

Ruth Rikowski has written a substantial new article on Michael Jackson. She analyses the nature of his phenomenal talent, his personal life and personae and the social forces making for the tragedy of his ultimate demise. Ruth draws some parallels between the life and genius of Michael Jackson and Mozart.

Madonna - Rescue Me (The Dub Remixes)

After the positive response to the first “Rescue Me” post, I decided to create a second one with the rare dub versions, three of which are only available on this US promotional 12″ single. They are all excellent in my opinion, and as with all dub versions, quite refreshing when you’ve listened to the main club mixes a million times.

This 12″ vinyl double pack came in a white sleeve with a sticker, pictured above.

Definition of Dub In Pop/Dance Music

Dub is genre of music that involves revisions of existing songs. The dub sound consists predominantly of instrumental remixes of existing recordings and is achieved by significantly manipulating and reshaping the recordings, usually by removing the vocals from an existing music piece, emphasizing the drum and bass parts or, in other words, ‘riddim‘, adding extensive echo and reverb effects, and dubbing occasional snippets of lyrics or instruments from the original version.

The “Rescue Me” Dub Versions

All dub versions were created by Shep Pettibone. The two dubs named after their vocal counterparts are alternative versions of them. The Demanding Dub contains elements mostly from the S.O.S. Mix, and the Disaster Dub could be considered a second dub of the Houseboat Vocal.

My favorite is probably the Lifeboat Dub. This one features a very acid-house reminiscent synth sound not present on any of the other mixes (it can be heard at 1:05 and is repeated throughout the track).

The Demanding Dub is the only one otherwise available. It was released on CD and 12″ vinyl in Germany and Australia.

Enjoy them!

Label:

Sire Records Company

Catalog Number:

PRO-A-4710

Track Listing and Details:

1. Rescue Me (Houseboat Dub) (5:24)

2. Rescue Me (Lifeboat Dub) (6:02)

3. Rescue Me (Demanding Dub) (5:20)

4. Rescue Me (Disaster Dub) (3:20)

Ticiane Pinheiro irrita Record ao ‘twittar’ sobre o SBT

Odair Del Pozzo

Toda quarta-feira à noite Ticiane Pinheiro tem um encontro marcado com seus seguidores no Twitter. A apresentadora da Record, religiosamente, narra pela rede de relacionamento o que está rolando no programa do marido, Roberto Justus, 1 Contra 100, do concorrente SBT.

“Adorei esse participante”, relata Ticiane, entre outras coisas. Ela, entretanto, não faz um comentário sobre Bela, a Feia e Poder Paralelo, as atrações que na mesma hora estão no ar na Record.

Alguém já viu alguém da Globo falando de outra emissora? Inovadora, Ticiane está dando audiência ao marido.

Ninguém quer “passar recibo” sobre a atitude de Tici. Mas um diretor lembra que o “contrato dela com a Record acaba em 2010″, sem falar mais nada. Será que essa foi a forma encontrada por Ticiane para mandar seu currículo ao SBT? Tão inovadora.

Look Closer At Rihanna

This attention grabbing spell Rihanna is on is becoming a bit too Britney-esque for comfort. She really is too talented an artist to succumb to the naked shot PR routine quite yet. Leave that to Britney, Madonna, and Toni Braxton. But she’s certainly not too talented for these becoming photos to be uploaded on ZIF. Chauvinism for President in 2012! Hey, why not?

Em ‘A Fazenda’, a dançarina disse que Luma de Oliveira só queria aparecer quando a substituiu no posto de rainha da bateria da Portela

Adriana Bombom está com a língua afiada em ‘A Fazenda 2’. O alvo foi a empresária Luma de Oliveira, que ocupou o posto de rainha da bateria da Portela no lugar da dançarina este ano. Chateada com a substituição, Adriana soltou o verbo ontem durante conversa com Maurício Manieri e Igor Cotrim. “Ela nem está mais lá. Fez todo o ‘bafão’ só pra aparecer”, disse ela, referindo-se a desistência de Luma para desfilar no Carnaval de 2010.

As declarações, no entanto, não abalaram Luma de Oliveira. Segundo o irmão da empresária, ela sequer será informada sobre o assunto. “A Luma não precisa disso para aparecer. Ela não quer trabalhar, não quer fazer novela por vontade própria, porque não precisa”, alfineta.

Adriana não esconde o ressentimento com a escola azul e branca. “ Foi uma falta de consideração comigo. Eu já estava toda sarada, tinha gravado a vinheta. Foram quatro anos lá”, desabafou. Depois do troca-troca, a atriz foi sambar no Carnaval paulista. Atualmente é Rainha da bateria da Tom Maior.

Depois do Carnaval o assunto foi sobre sexo. Em conversa com Igor e Maurício, Leozinho fala sobre a abstinência sexual. “O cara que fica aqui um mês fica doido”, disparou. Cotrim não entendeu e o MC explicou. “Um mês sem bater na cara da sapa”, disse, arrancando risadas da dupla. “Imagino a cara da sapa”, completou Manieri e depois fez até música: “Dá uma batidinha na cara da sapa. Coacha, coacha gostoso”.

O clima, no entanto, ficou tenso na fazenda depois da formação do primeiro ‘Tá na Roça’. Os fazendeiros Sheila Mello, Matheus Rocha e Ana Paula Oliveira estão na berlinda e um deles será eliminado, ao vivo, no domingo. Após ser indicada pelo grupo, a bandeirinha se afastou dos demais colegas.

je réponds rarement aux chaînes de musiques mais comme c'est une chaîne anglaise envoyée par Ferocias, je réponds

Vous l’avez compris, il faut en plus donner un titre le plus long possible au billet de la chaîne de musiques pour laquelle Férocias des Peuples du soleil m’a tagué :

“List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your life. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to.”

Voici donc les morceaux qui me bottent particulièrement ces temps-ci.
Enjoy your trip (women only) :

Et hop je file le bébé à 7 gusses : Nemo, Thierry Lhote, Desirade, Toréador, Olympe, Crise dans les médias et Rome en images.

Gaga, Jackson e o mundo pop

Mais um artigo interessante, desta vez de autoria de Paulo Nogueira no site da revista Época:

Rei morto, rainha posta. 2009 foi marcado no universo pop, basicamente, por um funeral e um batizado, ambos igualmente faustosos e com a extravagância multicolorida das superproduções em que os personagens parecem gente que não é como a gente, artificiais em tudo, cabelo, roupas, dentições, atitudes e até na voz. Desapareceu Michael Jackson, o Rei do Pop aos 50 anos, e apareceu não um sucessor mas uma sucessora, Lady Gaga. Aos 23 anos, ela é a Rainha do Pop, e domina não apenas as outras rivais, de Madonna a Britney Spears, mas também os marmanjos. Todos os grandes números da música pop em 2009 ficaram na bolsa de Lady Gaga. Quatro músicas de seu álbum de estréia chegaram ao topo da lista de sucessos da Billboard, mais de 4 milhões de faixas suas foram baixadas legalmente nos Estados Unidos etc. É difícil até a um cinquentão como eu permanecer indiferente à estridência carismática de Lady Gaga, expressa em canções como Paparazzi e Poker Face. O vídeo de Paparazzi, que você provavelmente viu antes de começar a ler o texto, prova isso.

O Rei Morto e a Rainha Posta têm enormes semelhanças, a começar pela ambiguidade sexual. Michael Jackson, segundo o relato de sua primeira mulher, Lisa Presley, jamais a encarava pela manhã sem antes fazer a maquiagem no banheiro. Lady Gaga, no verão em que se sagrou soberana, foi pilhada pela câmara de tevê num animado festival na Inglaterra com um a calcinha à mostra na saia minúscula que usava. O estranho volume que se via ali levou a rumores segundo os quais Lady Gaga oscilava entre hermafrodita e, simplesmente, homem (veja a foto). Depois de um demorado silêncio, Lady Gaga disse que não fora exatamente ela a insultada, mas sua bela vagina. O Rei era suspeito de ser Rainha e a Rainha foi suspeita de ser Rei: este o mundo estranho e paradoxal da música pop, onde tudo pode não ser o que parece e o contrário disso também não deve ser descartado. (…continua…)

Train Stop Fridays: Madonna - True Blue (1986) Album

This week the train stops at Madonna’s unforgettable 1986 album “True Blue”, dedicated to her then husband Sean Penn this album was deemed more girly and fun than her predecessors Madonna and Like a Virgin. Spawning 5 hit singles this album is said to be the one that secured her place as a superstar in the 80s. I disagree I feel all of her albums up to this point helped her career as they all had several major hits but this one I suppose is different as she took it in a different direction sound wise.

Track List

1. Papa Don’t Preach

2. Open Your Heart

3. White Heat (SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SINGLE)

4. Live To Tell

5. Where’s The Party

6. True Blue

7. La Isla Bonita

8. Jimmy Jimmy

9. Love Makes The World Go Round

10. True Blue (The Color Mix) *

11. La Isla Bonita (Extended Remix) *

* Bonus Track On The 2001 Remastered Version

De tre b�sta l�tarna som Madonna aldrig gjorde…..

Brenda Fassie – Love Action

Temat på det här inlägget är tämligen enkelt. Det handlar om att jag tar upp tre låtar som är från tiden då Madonna ännu inte var den superstjärna hon sen blev. Istället fanns det mängder av liknande artister som alla siktade mot stjärnorna men av en eller annan anledning inte riktigt nådde ända fram i slutändan. Därmed sagt så menar jag inte att de var dåliga, tvärtom, flera av dem får i mina ögon bra mycket högre betyg än Madonna om man utgår från deras samtida produktioner. De här tre låtarna är sådana exempel på när några av dessa artister utklassar Madonna på hennes hemmaplan.

Brenda Fassie som får öppna det hela finns tyvärr inte kvar i livet, hon dog under oklara omständigheter 2004. Wikipedia har flera olika uppslag kring hur hon dog men eftersom inget av dem är möjliga att bekräfta så avstår jag från att ge mig in i några spekulationer utan konstaterar istället att det var tråkigt att en så pass bra röst har tystnat för evigt.

 

E.G Daily – Say It Say It

Den här låten är nog den som jag tycker är mest “Madonnalik” i produktionen och jag har haft med den på bloggen tidigare och då konstaterat att den är som Madonna fastän bättre. Måste dessutom erkänna att det är en låt jag aldrig tröttnar på, trots att den egentligen är ganska så “Up-in-your-face” eller hur man ska säga.

 

Alisha – Baby Talk

Här har vi en tjej som helt klart är inne och pinkar på Madonnas territorium. Hon försöker ju helt ogenerat planka Into The Groove och värst av allt är nog att hon gör det så uttans bra att resultatet blir snäppet bättre än Into The Groove. Tyvärr så fick Alisha inte några större framgångar mer än hos freestylefansen i USA. Freestyle kallas nämligen den här musikstilen som främst kommit att omfamnas av den latinamerikanska befolkningen på USA’s ostkust.

Måste erkänna att jag inte hade hört talas om begreppet Freestyle när det gäller den här musiken förrän på senare år då Wikipedia och YouTube varit de främsta källorna för att sprida dylik kunskap.

Ja, det var tre favoriter när det kommer till några av de bästa låtarna som Madonna aldrig gjorde. Man kan bara fantisera om hur det skulle sett ut om t.ex E.G Daily varit den som blivit superstjärna istället. Finns många kittlande tankeexperiment man kan ägna sig åt när det gäller hur musikhistorien utvecklat sig och bara i det här inlägget så hittar jag en hel drös dylika trådar att spinna vidare på. Men jag ska inte göra det i det här inlägget utan låter er själva komma på egna trådar att roa tankeverksamheten med.

Guia #2 - Como passar batom vermelho sem borrar

Cansada de passar batom vermelho e ficar parecendo com o Bozo, o livro The One Hundred – A Guide To The Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own foi uma bênção na minha vida. Além de listar o batom vermelho como um item essencial para a vida de qualquer garota, esse livro da Nina Garcia (uma das juízas do Project Runway) dá umas dicas básicas de como aplicar o make sem fazer muita bagunça. Depois de várias tentativas, fiz umas adaptações e achei meu jeito, então é esse que vou falar aqui.   1) Antes de tudo é bom escolher o tipo de vermelho que combina melhor com o seu tom de pele. Eu e a Madonna gostamos muito muito muito do Russian Red, da MAC. Outro bem bom é o Rouge Allure Laque No. 75, da Chanel (esse é um gloss-meio-batom, que é uma maravilha e eu mega recomendo). Se você estiver se sentindo selvagem, o Jungle Red, da NARS também é *incrível*, com um tom meio puxado para o laranja.   2) Depois de escolher a cor, é super importante hidratar. Pode ser um hidratante comum, mas a minha mãe tem um hidratante especial para os lábios da Estée Lauder em formato de caneta que é o bicho (alô, anos 70!). Tem uma versão parecida na Contém 1g que é mais barata e quebra o galho. Antes eu mandava ver o batom sem o hidratante, mas aí minha mãe, que é a doida da hidratação, começou a me falar que se eu não passasse o hidratante antes ia ficar com a boca igual das minhas tias velhas do interior – aquelas bocas cheias de rugas e sulcos, sabe?! Toda vez que penso nisso me dá um desespero e eu prometo que vou usar hidratante pra sempre.   3) Agora que você já está com os lábios lindos, macios e hidratados, chegou a hora de passar o batom! Se preferir, pode usar um lápis de boca para contornar o desenho dos seus lábios e depois brincar de preencher o espaço em branco, que nem naquelas revistinhas de colorir que a gente tinha quando era jovem e feliz.   4) Caso você tenha descartado a ideia do lápis (que nem eu), provavelmente vc está com a boca parecendo a Courtney Love em um dia ruim. Minha dica é pegar um cotonete embebido em água ou demaquilante e passar no contorno da boca.   5) Feito isso, é a hora de fazer a fina, pegar um lencinho e tirar o excesso.   6) O grande truque é, depois de ter tirado o excesso, passar uma segunda camada de batom. Assim, o vermelho da sua boca vai durar muito mais. Cuidado: o bom senso deve sempre prevalecer. Não vá sair de casa que nem uma pomba-gira, PORFAVOR!!!

T R I B A L TREND

M.J.’s line that he presented for Spring was one of his liveliest in a while, with its best-bits-from-the-vintage-store mentality. Maybe that’s because he borrowed some of the details from his own recent oeuvre. To start with, the models all wore bunny bows in their hair, echoing Madonna’s Vuitton getup at the Met ball, albeit on a smaller scale. Love the forties-by-way-of-the-eighties vibe!

Singers Who Act...or Shouldn't They?

It’s Wednesday. Halfway there. In TV news, you all were right, if how you voted yesterday was any indication of how Dancing With the Stars would turn out after another double elimination round. Appealing as they were, we had to say buh-bye to Michael Irvin and Mark Dacascos. But far more enlightening for many of us was the performance of the Ballas Hough Band, comprised of dancers Mark Ballas and Derek Hough, Did you see it? Should dancers be allowed to sing? This notion of crossovers is of course where we’re headed with today’s poll, but we’ll  get to that in a minute. First up, some big award show news — it seems Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin have both been tapped to host the Oscars…how do you feel about that? We will of course be asking you more pointed questions about your favorite Oscar hosts in the coming weeks. But for now it’s something to consider, and it’s probably a pairing, regardless of its success in terms of ratings,  that will make more than a few of us laugh out loud. A  lot. In other TV news, many of you were very, very pleased to learn that TNT has rescued Southland, but how do you feel about NBC’s decision not to keep going with Trauma, another brand new medical show  barely on its feet before it got the axe? Now let’s get back to today’s business at hand, which is crossover talent. Because the appearance of the Ballas Hough Band made me wonder where genuine talent ends,  and where skill — and vanity –  begins. Although to be fair, there are a number of actors who have taken to song when we didn’t know they could, with excellent results. Meryl Streep can absolutely sing. Kevin Kline can entertain us with song and dance. Mandy Moore does everything. Hugh Jackman too.  Billy Ray Cyrus had a series, and then some. Christopher Walken can totally dance. Patrick Swayze had real pipes. And so on. So now, while we’re on the subject of crossover talent, let’s go the other way and see which singers you think should act more. Herewith,  four singer performers who have appeared in movies and TV. Of them, please voice your choice in today’s featured poll and tell us which  of these singers who decided to act is your fave.

1) Madonna

2) LL Cool J

3) Bon Jovi

4) Queen Latifah

Vaccinbrist

Jo, nog är det bra hysteriskt det här med svininfluensan och vaccineringen. En god vän var iväg igår och skulle vaccinera sig, efter en halvtimme var vaccinet slut och då hade många inte ens kommit in i lokalen. Värsta kön, man kan ju tro att Madonna är på plats och ska ha en show eller något! Jag undrar jag hur många som far illa av hysterin runt omkring det här? Förmodligen fler än de som blir allvarligt sjuka i influensan i alla fall.

Nej då, jag har inget emot vaccineringen i sig. Särskilt riskgrupperna bör ju absolut vaccinera sig. Det jag vänder mig mot är att alla våra myndigheter och media helt uppslukats av någon hysteri. Som jag känner det är det faktiskt svårt att få fram någon saklig information, och det kan väl ändå inte vara meningen att det ska vara så. Ibland far tanken genom huvudet, hur skulle det bli om något VERKLIGT allvarligt inträffar här? Tror inte jag vill veta det faktiskt trots att jag arbetar inom området själv (kriser alltså).

Nej, några stjärnfall såg jag inte i går kväll när jag var ute med hunden, inte nu på morgonen heller för den delen. Sov någorlunda bra i natt trots fullmånen i alla fall, vaknade tidigt men det gör ju inte så mycket när jag ändå ska upp och jobba.

Seeing Double

This week New York welcomes “Performa ‘09“, the third biennial of performance art to hit the city. The event features more than 150 artists over three weeks, and one of whom has me very excited.

I was lucky enough to experience South African artist Candice Breitz’s video installation “Legend” a few years ago, and have been a devoted fan ever since. “Legend” is an homage to Bob Marley using 30 of his fans. She had each of them wear headphones in a simple studio setting, and then individually recorded them singing the entire album. The effect is stunning: the videos are synced so it appears that all 30 participants are singing together a cappella (imagine grooving to your favorite song when you think you are alone):

There’s an even better quality version of the video on Breitz’s website, along with similar homages to John Lennon, Madonna, and Michael Jackson.

Breitz’s usual media are video and photography. For “Performa ‘09″ she is directing her first live performance, “New York, New York.” She’s working with four sets of twins: each set will work with her to develop a single character. Then the twins will be separated into two groups, who will do independent, improvised performances based on their characters. As with much of her work, “New York, New York” is meant to address the complexity of individuality. This work may raise more questions than it answers, but promises to be fun while doing so.

Rock 'n' Roll in Brooklyn

 

Henry Diltz Photo of Tina Turner

Since the beginning of rock music, the media and general public have been fascinated with rock stars. Their rises to fame (and often pit-falls due to self-destructive habits) have been carefully documented. As such, the Brooklyn Museum’s “Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present” is an excellent photographic narrative of the rock stars we all know and love.

The exhibition, organized by photography historian Gail Buckland, displays over 175 images from 105 photographers. The eclectic mix of work includes album cover art, candid snapshots, publicity portraits, and live performance pictures.

A New York Times Review of the exhibition calls into question “What makes a high-quality rock photograph?” (and compares these photos to fashion photography) As the article states,

…Fashion photography is more immediately visual; you don’t have to know who the model is or who designed the clothes to be interested. With rock photographs it matters who the subject is. Knowing that the bearded young man smiling genially at the camera in a 1972 photograph by Lynn Goldsmith is Bruce Springsteen greatly enhances the experience of an otherwise nondescript picture, for fans of the Boss, anyway.

One way to make rock photographs more interesting would be to analyze them as sociological or anthropological documents. Examining them according to some quasi-scientific system could bring to light meanings and metaphors that we have come to take for granted in the cult of rock. Hero worship, sexual aggression, gender role-playing, youthful rebellion and the triumph of neo-primitivism in a consumerist age of unprecedented scientific, technological and industrial progress: these are topics worth examining…

However, “Who Shot Rock and Roll” is an entertaining show that most pop-culture enthusiasts will enjoy. This seems to be a show for all ages. Baby-boomers will look at the photos of young Madonna and Elvis and be called back to their youths, while todays 20- and 30- somethings will see photos of rock stars from the 80s and 90s and laugh at the styles they all once tried to copy.

Particularly stimulating are photographs of those who died young, as the NY Times article reports,

Of course, some did not get old. Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Tupac Shakur will remain forever young, and pictures of them evoke thoughts of what might have been.

Videos glamour & fashion: Texas, Guns & Roses y Madonna (IV)

El cuarto episodio de los videos con participación “externa” a la musical viene con el común denominador de que esta vez son actores con carisma y veteranía. No todo iban a ser modelos y actrices, pillines.

Comenzamos con el grupo escocés Texas, que en el año 2001 sacó al mercado su recopilatorio de Greatest Hits en el que se incluían dos canciones inéditas, Inner Smile e In Demand. Para el video de esta última contaron con la presencia de Alan Rickman. El actor londinense deja su impronta en el clip, dando una soberbia réplica a la cantante Sharleen Spiteri, que desde la publicación de su superventas White On Blonde en 1996, saca su vena más femenina y sensual. Y es que el video respira un aire de sensualidad total sin caer en los archisobados “juegos carnales”. Una canción que llegó al número 1 en Inglaterra y en Francia, y que tanto me gusta desde entonces.

Seguimos con los escoceses Texas y en esta ocasión con otro video que rodaron en 2003 y que tiene muchas similitudes con el anterior. Para la canción I’ll see it through también escogieron a otro actor, al marroquí de Casablanca pero francés de adopción Jean Reno. De padres andaluces (Sanlúcar de Barrameda y Jerez de la Frontera), su verdadero nombre es Juan Moreno y Herrera Jiménez, pero lo afrancesó traduciendo su nombre de pila y dejando sólo las dos últimas sílabas de su primer apellido. Parece que a Sharleen le gustó que le abrazara Rickman y repitió la experiencia con el actor de películas como León, Ronin, o Los Visitantes. Inspira ternura y fragilidad a partes iguales ver a la pareja cada vez que se mira o se abraza. La voz de Sharleen una vez más hace de esta canción que sea otra de mis favoritas.

El siguiente turno es para los Guns & Roses, que en 1993, cuando la formación daba sus últimos coletazos, editaron Spaguetti Incident?, un álbum de versiones en el que grabaron Since I don’t have you de los Skyliners. En el video aparece un diablo muy sonriente cuyo papel lo interpreta un camaleónico Gary Oldman que está irreconocible. Esta fue la última aparición de Slash como miembro del grupo. El título de la canción no podía ser más premonitorio con la ruptura de uno de las mejores bandas de los 90.

Acabamos con Madonna, con la polémica reina del pop y recientemente calificada como “retrasada” por su ex Guy Ritchie. En 1986 sacaba su disco True Blue en el que incluía una de sus canciones más conocidas Papa Don’t Preach. El video recrea la misma historia que la letra de la canción: una chica que se queda embarazada y que le dice a su padre que no le sermonee. De padre sermoneador hizo Danny Aiello (nominado al oscar en 1989 por Haz lo que debas) y de novio guaperillas Alex McArthur. Obtuvo el premio al mejor video femenino de la MTV en 1987.

Känner du dig nere - dansa!

Jag har upptäckt ett enkelt knep för att få lite mer energi. Tidigare ikväll satt jag och kände mig både trött och lite såsig. Förstod inte varför jag var så trött. Nu i efterhand vet jag att det var för att min energinivå var för låg och att den behövde en skjuts.

Här är knepet som hjälpte mig att höja min energi igen och också mitt humör!

Sätt på en låt du verkligen gillar och dansa! Känn rytmen i kroppen. Bry dig inte om hur det ser ut, det är helt oviktigt! Låt musiken glädja dig och låt din kropp få visa detta!

Här är låten som höjde min energi i kväll:

Equality's final frontier? The Romany

Romany people protest against discrimination.

Q: What links a former USSR army officer and the decidely middle class inhabitants of a rural Gloucestershire community?

A: They both have what can politely be described as “unfavourable” views of ‘Gypsies’.

In a 21st Century world where slimy toads such as Nick Griffin and Jean-Marie Le Pen can be rightly lambasted for their hateful and xenophobic political views, why is it that ‘gypsies’ are still reviled across Europe?

Sure there are horror stories about light-fingered pickpockets and travellers who run roughshod over the law. But in communities where they are unequivocally shunned, sometimes they don’t really have many other choices.

When I was in Odessa, in the Ukraine, an ex-USSR army officer said to me that he had once been ‘hypnotised’ by a gypsy lady into buying her wares.

In Moldova, a family I was staying with told me to watch my valuables when they saw a family of Romany board our trolleybus.

In Romania where the Romany are utterly reviled, Madonna was booed when she expressed sadness over the hatred levelled at the gypsy population in Eastern Europe. Can’t say I’m the old bats biggest fan, but she was spot on here.

In Italy, here’s a pretty worrying example of how they’re discriminated against. And here’s one from Belfast too.

And even in my own sleepy home of Newent, Gloucestershire, the (admittedly pretty illegal) actions of some travellers brought howls of opprobrium from normally rational folk.

The examples could go on really. And if anything, within the UK it actually appears to have gotten worse.

So why, in a society where we have rightly renounced all other kinds of hatred based on a persons race, does this lazy hateful stereotyping continue?

When someone makes a comment wholy based on another persons appearance or culture, they are right to be shouted down. Why doesn’t this rule apply to the Romany and other traveller communities of the UK and the rest of the world?

All people deserve equality. And that certainly isn’t what the Romany are getting.

Racist propaganda from a Romanian nationalist party: pretty sure you can understand the point it's trying to make.

Only one man can stop the Master plan,
And he strikes, while in a suit and tan.

When cities and men die he gets paid,
His masterpiece is for no peace at all,
This bastard wants the world to fall.

But he did not reckon on one man,
A man who acts while other men just stand,
He’s cool yet hot, This agent of The Queen,
Taking Mister Master from the scene!

Madonna covers "Rolling Stone"

Madonna is on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone and here’s an excerpt from her interview with Scaggs:

I was at the show last night in Budapest. I was struck by how none of the songs you performed were in their original arrangements.

M: Even my new songs, I have to reinvent them, or after a couple of months, I’ll just get sick of them. When you reinvent them, you have to sit for days with the musical director and your band. Inevitably, you end up sampling someone, and you have to get permission, and pay more money.

People have told me “You could just go out there and play guitar and sing your songs like Paul McCartney?”, but I’d be too bored.  Most of the joy of the shows  is the magic of creating them – the theater. I’m a perfectionist. I like hard work. I like to sweat.

More about the “Madonna Looks Back” Rolling Stone story here!

Madonna on the cover of November's Rolling Stone magazine

Madonna will grace the cover of Rolling Stone magazine yet again this November and it will undoubtedly be an expose on her career to give Celebration another boost. The article is called “Madonna Looks Back” and the cover is of her actually looking back. Deep. Anyway, what is up with biceps borrowing pictures of her from the past for the last couple of projects. We know she’s looking like Jocelyn Wildenstein these days, but she could afford a good retoucher. It would have been nice if she went all out and did a great shoot for Rolling Stone. You know, like one with greying hair and her nursing twin babies on each teat with Lady GaGa and Britney Spears’ faces superimposed on them. You know, all publicity is good publicity. She sure knows that. Anyway, where was she during the National Equality March?

Christina Milian: Losing It In Love

Christina Milian and The Dream-Concrete Loop

What the heck is going on with Christina Milian lately?! I know she’s pregnant, but The Dream should have enough money to keep her looking like she has a mirror somewhere in the house, to say the very least. I have always thought of Christina as a beautiful young lady, but she has definitely fell off her square since marrying The Dream. Some have felt that she started looking bad when they went public with their relationship, but I didn’t think so. Now, she is a mess! What was with the 80’s, Madonna outfit-gone-wrong she was rocking at the BET Hip-Hop Awards?! Why is it that so many pregnant celebs manage to look stylish and tasteful, but Christina is looking like an unpleasantly plump can of biscuits? I hope she fires her stylist, better yet her stylist needs to kick rocks and Christina needs to kick herself for this atrocious fashion “UH…NO.”

Madonna Invades The Privacy Of Minors

Russell Davies

As stated in the August 31, 2009 lawsuit, Aisha v. The FBI, Madonna and members of her depraved, disgraceful Kabbalah cult, such as television writer/producer, Russell Davies (Hollywood’s “Queer as Folk” and the BBC’s “Doctor Who” and “Torchwood”) not only infringed my PREEXISTING copyrights, but violated my privacy as well and that of my family and friends, using it as the basis for select episodes of the BBC programs “Torchwood” and “Doctor Who.”

For more on that, here is an excerpt from the August 31, 2009 lawsuit, Aisha v. The FBI et al, relevant to this article:

24. Madonna then spread her invasive madness to her label affiliate BBC in London where she lived (BBC’s DVDs are distributed by Madonna’s Warner Bros). The BBC is familiar with Aisha’s family, having worked with her dad and aunt. Previously, in 2004, the BBC called Aisha’s dad, renowned musicologist and disc jockey, Vaughn “Bunny” Goodison, in Jamaica over the telephone, for an interview on the passing of his esteemed, lifelong friend and music legend, 72-year-old, Clement Dodd. On another occasion, the BBC telephoned Aisha’s dad for comment on the passing of famous charity worker, 87-year-old, Sister Mary Ignatius Davies, who was also a good friend of the family. These interviews were carried on BBC radio and on their websites. Aisha’s aunt, Jamaica’s award winning, highly rated, poet laureate, Lorna Goodison, had also done pleasant radio and print interviews with the BBC. Therefore, the family had maintained a good relationship with the BBC, but Madonna, driven by ill-will and hatred, resenting the famous arts family, due to Aisha’s very valuable, groundbreaking Copyrighted Catalog she covets and Aisha’s refusal to respond to her correspondences, viciously sponsored a Kabbalah styled case of gross invasion of privacy and copyright infringement, through BBC employees and Kabbalah members, Russell Davies and Billie Piper (Madonna’s protégé), aimed at vindictively targeting and maligning the award winning family. The family at no time did anything to Madonna, Davies or Piper, not knowing any of them, yet acting in concert with Madonna, they began to place items from Aisha’s preexisting Copyrighted Catalog and astonishingly her personal life as well, in his BBC scripts.

25. Davies infringed Aisha’s copyrights for select episodes of the BBC shows “Doctor Who” and “Torchwood” and additionally, included Aisha’s personal, identifying information unique to her, in his scripts. These items were obtained through hacking by the staff of Madonna.com. Davies, who has visited Aisha’s official websites, before and after the misconduct transpired, as attested by Traffic Facts site statistics software, has followed Madonna’s lead and taken broadcasting to an unprecedented low in Britain for the “Children of Earth” five part series on the “Torchwood” program he writes for. The “Children of Earth” broadcast not only includes items from preexisting, protected items from Aisha’s computers, using it for the main storyline of the 5 part miniseries, it also includes Aisha’s mother’s name “MILLIE” as a character, a variation of AISHA’s name in the script as a character named “MISHA”, a look-alike character that is the spitting image of Aisha’s sister, casting the character as a girl who is maliciously exploited and thrown in prison, the name CLEMENT mcDOnalD, a variation of the name CLEMENT DODD, appears in the script as an elderly character (CLEMENT DODD is Aisha’s aforementioned godmother’s husband, who invented reggae music and signed Bob Marley to his first record deal). There is also a character named MR. DEKKER, which is the real name of one of CLEMENT DODD’s legendary, award winning, international reggae recording colleagues and Aisha’s dad’s late friend, MR. DESMOND DEKKER. The CLEMENT and DEKKER names were cast as psychotic, despised, crazy characters running from aliens, which is disrespectful to the memory of the two, real, beloved, legendary Jamaican national heroes in the music field, which the names were distastefully taken from, in a racist manner by Russell Davies and Madonna’s Kabbalah. Other invasive items that infringe Aisha’s preexisting copyrights were included in select episodes of Russell Davies’ show “Doctor Who.” …

27. Other members of Madonna’s Kabbalah such as Sacha Baron Cohen, have been outed using real people for characters in TV shows and movies, such as “Ali G” being based on BBC radio disc jockey Tim Westwood and 2009’s Austrian character “Bruno” being illegally based on Austrian TV personality Alfons Haider. In 2009, Madonna’s partner and Kabbalah member, Jerry Bruckheimer was also sued for perversely basing a defamatory episode of “CSI” on a real live couple that owns a Los Angeles real estate firm, Scott and Melinda Tamkin, with the show using their real names and lives for the broadcast without permission, but defaming them as reckless people participating in sexual bondage, pornography, drunkenness and murder, in similar conduct to what Aisha had formally accused Bruckheimer of in her 2005 lawsuit against Madonna.

Since the filing of the lawsuit several weeks ago, I have discovered my teenage godbrother’s privacy and that of his mother, who live in South Florida in America, were violated during the case, as he, his mother and I, exchange emails very often and speak on the phone regularly, which was illegally wiretapped Anthony Pellicano style (Madonna’s private investigator, whom I gave the FBI detailed information about in 2005 and he was later arrested and convicted on wiretapping charges – see lawsuit for more information).

During one of the many hacks into my computer, which were traced back to Digilink, who is the web hosting company for Madonna’s official website Madonna.com, not only was my very valuable preexisting Copyrighted Catalog copied and then infringed by Madonna and her cohorts in Hollywood, my emails, both business and personal, were illegally copied, as mentioned in the lawsuit.

As stated in the lawsuit and mentioned above in the excerpt, Madonna’s Kabbalah member, homosexual Russell Davies (and his “Doctor Who” actress, Madonna protégé and Kabbalah cult member, Billie Piper) infringed preexisting copyrights belonging to me, for select episodes of “Torchwood” and “Doctor Who” and additionally included items in the script, such as the names of my family members and friends in the “Children Of Earth” 5-part miniseries on “Torchwood.”

Skins

Recently, I saw a bio page for the BBC/E4 program “Skins.” The homosexual father and son team of Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain, who are the writers and creators of the extremely dysfunctional and distasteful teen show “Skins” was mentioned in conjunction with Madonna’s Kabbalah member Russell Davies. The article stated Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain used to work for Russell Davies. They are also Davies’ BBC co-workers.

Now, imagine my horror and repulsion, when I scrolled down the character list for the show “Skins” and see my godbrother’s name “JJ Jones” listed as a character (his first name is John, but his family and friends call him “JJ”).

Imagine my horror again, when I read about the character and realize said character not only has my godbrother’s name, mimicking the sick conduct Madonna/Davies did to my family, but also infringes his image and likeness as well. This infringing character was created when my godbrother was 17-years-old. He is now 19.

Things the character on “Skins” has in common with my godbrother “JJ Jones”:
1. The name “JJ Jones”
2. 17-years of age
3. Wears braces
4. Grew his hair out a bit (his mom kept commenting on it, as she wanted him to cut it)
5. Lives with his mom a single parent
6. A very smart student
7. Hangs out often with his two best friends
8. Has a penchant for drinking Tropicana (an American, Florida brand of fruit juice that amazingly appears in a British show)

How does the BBC explain, how people connected to Madonna via Kabbalah, not only wound up in criminal possession of an illegally made copy of my Copyrighted Catalog, infringing items from it via using them without permission, but said characters in the infringing programs, now mysteriously have my mother’s name MILLIE, a variation of my name AISHA (”MISHA“), a look alike character that looks a great deal like my sister, the name my of my godmother’s husband who invented reggae music CLEMENT DODD (turned into the variant name “CLEMENT mcDOnalD“) and his colleague, the late reggae legend, DESMOND DEKKER’s name used as “MR. DEKKER” in the programming (Note: My dad interviewed Desmond Dekker’s family on his radio show, listened to by millions around the world, shortly before Russell Davies did this invasive madness) and now my godbrother’s name, image and likeness, appears along with the other infringements, as characters penned by these same writers, Russell Davies, Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain.

Let’s not forget, prior to this, the BBC called my dad, a renowned musicologist, twice in Jamaica for interviews on famous public figures that are friends of the family. I kept wondering how they got his number. They also interviewed my aunt, an award winning author, Lorna Goodison, prior to all this as well.

Therefore, the BBC does know my family. Not to mention, the BBC has come up in my website stats numerous times, before and after these incidents regarding Russell Davies, Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain transpired.

It’s bad enough for Madonna and co. to violate my privacy, but while their invasiveness was going on, she and her comrades at the BBC, invaded the privacy of my sister and godbrother, who were minors at the time this unlawful activity began. That is absolutely criminal.

I am also of the belief, they found out what my sister looks like and based the aforementioned “Torchwood” character on her (”Lois” from Torchwood’s “Children of Earth), via photos I had taken of her at the airport, that I emailed to her in Jamaica, after I extracted them from the card of my digital camera.

“Lois” from Torchwood’s “Children of Earth” looks like my sister. I asked my mom and another relative to look at the picture and tell me what they think and they said she does look like her (except, my sister usually has her hair straight – however, in the photos that I took of her at the airport and emailed to her, she had the front of her hair braided):

“Lois”

Violating the privacy of minors is a very serious crime. Turning two minors, that are private citizens, into characters on TV, at the request of a sick, devilish pop star, Madonna, invading innocent people’s privacy and harassing others, as she is psychopathic and obsessed out of her non-singing mind, is disgusting and nasty.

Russell Davies, Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain, have also added other very defamatory and sick items to the characters lives, based on my sister and godbrother, that are more than enough grounds for criminal charges and a lawsuit.

Once again, Madonna and co. have gone too far. The worst part in all this is, we are innocent people that have nothing to do with Madonna or her lunatic Kabbalah cult members like Davies.

And I promise you, all that are involved in committing this foul, nasty misconduct on those shows, that criminally invaded the privacy of minors, will see the inside of a prison cell before this is all over. You have my word on it.

Do, pray tell, what did my young sister and godbrother do to you? They are two good, decent, hardworking kids that make great grades in school and are trying to live their lives.

How did they deserve for a group of vile, despicable, perverted lunatics to invade their privacy and beam their lives, image, likeness and in my godbrother’s case, his actual name, around the world (his mom’s distinct last name that is different from his, was also used for a Russell Davies’ TV character on “Torchwood”).

Do stand up like men, albeit cowardly homosexual men, obsessed with underage boys and girls – and tell the world what my young sister and godbrother, who do not even know you at all, nor do I, did to you that they deserve this criminal nastiness and invasiveness you’ve done in conjunction with your fellow Kabbalah cult member Madonna. You must be so proud of yourselves spying on and picking on underage youths, you perverts.

Really, what if I took the low road, as Madonna has done once again and cast a character in one of my scripts with her daughter’s name, writing that the 12-year-old girl is to be dressed like an underage prostitute, trying to be sexy for the camera. Oh wait, Madonna has done that to her daughter already for her latest video, trying to shock people for attention.

Madonna

Regarding, Russell Davies, Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain, what if I pen a script, casting your respective parents’ names, image and likeness, as characters that molest kids and pee on them in the woods, as singer Elton John was accused of doing, by the Sun Newspaper UK. How would you feel about that.

I can get their names off Wikipedia if you’d like (and knowing Wikipedia, there is a 99% probability the names would be wrong, anyway).

But I wouldn’t do something like that. Because at the end of the day, one has to ask one’s self, what kind of sick people do things like that, you know, as you have done to my innocent family and I, who’ve done you no harm.

Once again, if the shiftless, useless, corrupt FBI had done their jobs from 2005, when they first received the case, those depraved animals could not have taken things to such sick levels, causing irreparable damage to innocent people, including minors, as mentioned above.

And the FBI wonders why I have nothing positive to write about them. Take a good look at that mess, as two young people have now been harmed, because you corruptly decided to let a foul, vile, dirty old pop star that audiences don’t even care about anymore, run loose with this madness, committing crime after crime, against innocent people, so she and Hollywood could criminally rip me off, as my Copyrighted Catalog is very valuable.

Then again, I shouldn’t be surprised that the FBI doesn’t care about kids, as it was widely reported, the FBI told the parents of missing children to buzz off.

You call that law enforcement. You are such unmitigated failures at what you do. Hands down, the worst law enforcement agency ever.

MADONNA: AMERICAN PIE (VIDEO 49)

American Pie (pastel estadounidense) es un cover (versión) hecho por la cantante pop estadounidense Madonna, de la clásica versión de Don McLean. La canción formó parte de la banda sonora de la película The Next Best Thing (”Algo casi perfecto”) y se publicó como sencillo del mismo en febrero de 2000.

El video musical de American Pie fue dirigido por Philipp Stolzl el 10 de enero de 2000 en Londres (Inglaterra). El video rinde tributo a los años sesenta (década en la que la canción fue grabada). En el video Madonna aparece bailando frente a una gran bandera estadounidense. Otras escenas incluyen gente ordinaria, lesbianas abrazadas, una pareja de gays besándose y un matrimonio interracial. Todas estas escenas se suceden entre las escenas de Madonna. Rupert Everett hizo cameo en el video, y también forma parte de los coros de la canción, sin embargo no se incluyó ninguna escena de la película.

Courtney Love acusó a Madonna de haber copiado el estilo con el que aparece en el video, sobre todo resaltando el detalle de una tiara en su cabeza.[1]

A parte de esta versión, existen dos versiones más del video con distintas imágenes rodados por Dan-O-Rama: US Dance Mix (que contiene la versión ‘Calderone Remix Edit’) y la versión “Humpty Vission Radio Mix”.[2]

Jesus Luz teria brigado com Madonna porque ela não quer casar

Madonna e Jesus Luz teríam protagonizado uma briga feia, depois que a Rainha do Pop disse a David Letterman que preferia ser atropelada por um trem a se casar novamente.

O modelo brasileiro, não gostou nem um pouco da franqueza da namorada e teria brigado com ela.

“Madonna e Jesus raramente brigam, mas ele se sentiu ferido com o que ela disse”.

“Jesus achou que ela o fez de tolo, dizendo aquilo”.

“Ele fala com seus amigos e com a família sobre ela o tempo todo, dizendo que a relação deles é séria. Quando ela foi à tevê e negou isso, ele achou que seria visto como um estúpido”.

Smack in the face of humble lamb pie. Good for Barbra! 4get about Mariah at this point. The one I could see surpassing the record is actually Britney Spears!! lol.

2 Wochenenden mit Viel Action !!!

 

BB Gun / Paintball und Siam Park

Viel Action mit ein wenig Schwund……

… wie heist es doch so schön…. Ungeschicktes Fleisch muss ab….

Das letzte Wochenende im September waren wir Paintball schießen. Diese Lust bestand schon in Deutschland, aber nein, in Thailand mit Temperaturen über 33 Grad haben wir es dann gespielt

Mit Langarm Overall, Woll-Gesichtsmaske/Mütze, Schutzweste und Helm (ich wiederhole, bei Temperaturen über 33 Grad) sind wir dann ins Gelände. Da wir alle das noch nie gespielt hatten, fingen wir im “Kinder Gehege” an. Da standen riesige weiße Luftkissen / Gebilde wo sich jeder hinter versteckte und dann fleißig versuchte den Gegner abzuschießen. Bei der Einweisung, wie man sich zu verhalten hatte, lief uns schon die Suppe den Beinen runter und es kam uns vor wie Stunden…. Umso lustiger war es dann, als es losging, und sich erst mal keiner wirklich getraut hatte, sich von seinem Schutzwall fortzubewegen.

2 Runden im “Kinder Gehege” und dann ging es ab ins große freie Gehege. Das hat richtig Laune gemacht. Sich hinter Baume und Hecken zu verstecken, über den Boden zu robben, um sich an die Gegner anzuschleichen, war echt geil, auch wenn man vor lauter Schweiß durchnässt war

Kathy hat sich super geschlagen. Im Ganzen waren wir 5 Männer und 2 Frauen. Zum Schluss waren nur noch Kathy und Kwesi im Rennen, und da Kathy keine Munition mehr hatte, hatte Kwesi das ganze gewonnen. Natürlich hat man hier Blessuren davon getragen. Kathy hatte 2 ganz heftige Einschläge an Schulter und Oberarm abbekommen, welche sich in den darauf folgenden Tagen ziemlich blau/lila und hinterher grün/gelb färbten

Thorsten hatte lediglich ne Beule am Kopf davon getragen, was aber nicht wirklich schlimm war. Denn, wir wollen das auf jeden Fall noch einmal machen aber eher im Dezember oder Januar, wenn die Temperaturen knapp unter 30 Grad liegen

 

 

Erstes Wochenende im Oktober waren wir im Siam Park. Ein Park aufgebaut wie Freizeitpark Rust oder Phantasialand, nur grösser mit Safari Park und Wasserpark.

Dieser Tag war für den Wasserpark geplant, wo wir gegen halb elf morgens bis abends kurz vor sechs, waren. Mit riesigem Wellenbad und Monsterrutschen genossen wir den Tag. In wie so üblich musste Kathy mal wieder verarztet werden. Beim Rutschen hat sie sich den Nagel samt Nagelbett (Fleisch) aufgerissen. Und die Frauen die auch künstliche Nägel haben, wissen wie schmerzvoll das Ganze ist. Also ab mit Ihr in den FIRST AID (Erste Hilfe) und behandeln lassen. Der Nagel wurde komplett runter geschnitten, dann mit Jod und Pflaster verarztet, und für Kathy war Schluss mit Rutschen. Der Tag war aber trotzdem sehr schön, und neue (rötliche) Farbe haben wir auch getankt

Beim Eintrittspreis zum Wasserpark hatte man noch eine Freizeitpark Attraktion seiner Wahl frei. Also sind wir (ohne Thorsten) noch auf die Looping Bahn (Boomerang) gegangen. Oh wow…. Kathy war seit bestimmt 10 Jahren nicht mehr auf einer Achterbahn, und kam daher mit etwas zittrigen Knieen wieder von der Bahn

Was die nächsten Wochenenden so passiert, wissen wir noch nicht, aber wir haben noch so einiges vor….

 

 

nächstes Wochenende kommt bald….Ende Oktober gehts nach Koh Samui.

Gran Power

Creaky joints. Bunions. Lavender mist. Blue Rinse. Purple haze. Cliff ‘effing Richard…

Grannies have a bad name.

But one woman’s on a mission to change that – even though she isn’t a granny just yet and she’s a decade shy of her first OAP [old age pensioner] bus pass.

One word. Madonna.

Her of pilates and far eastern hokum. Shangri la la. Our Lady of the Lurex Crotch – see Confessions on the Dance Floor period. One has to applaud her verve. You see, our Madgesty has broken down barriers in her time (gives a whole new meaning to Like a Virgin, does it not?)

People say, oh, you harridan, you! Gyrating your creaky pelvis when you really should call it a day. You’re over fifty, you know. Have some self-respect.

What utter nonsense!

I saw her new video the other day and thought to myself, what a wonderful whirl… literally. There was our Madgesty thrusting and jerking in a micro Balmain dress like her life depended on it. She looked fantastic. The song was a dense slice of clubland manna. And why not? The penny dropped. Why give up the ghost just because of a few hot flushes and grey hairs? Your body’s tight. You’ve built a successful career. You’re a doting mother – see the alternative take where Lourdes appears on screen with her mother dressed as bride a la Like a Virgin. Cute.

You go “Gran”!

Get into the groove.

Madonna mangia la pizza con David Letterman

Una stupenda Madonna ha partecipato ieri sera al Late Show with David Letterman, conversando amabilmente con lo showman (per l’ottava volta) e andando pure in un ristorante italiano a farsi una pizza, visto che non l’aveva mai mangiata, a New York. Qui trovate il video con i momenti salienti.

Una Madonna dall’apparenza veramente raffinata e stupenda, in un elegantissimo abitino nero. Però, oh Mia Regina, smettila col botox e con la chirurgia estetica, perché in alcune espressioni, con quelle guanciotte piene, frutto di protesi agli zigomi, la somiglianza è veramente impressionante…

Fonte: Popslut.

Esto es "noticia"

También se les antojo?

Madonna come! La “reina del pop” se comió un pedazo de pizza mientras grababa un segmento para el Show de david letterman; seguro será algun estúpido sketch. Solo publico esto porque me da gusto ver a Madonna vestida de acuerdo a su edad, 52 años por cierto. Ah también hay rumores de que la cantante esta preparando su boda con el modelo/dj  Jesús, al que le lleva como 80 años.

Fãs tailandeses organizam flash mob ao som de Madonna

Antes de tudo, explicação: flash mobs são aglomerações instantâneas de pessoas em um lugar público para fazer algum tipo de performance previamente ensaiada – e que acaba rapidinho. Entendido?

Bom, depois que um grupo de simpáticos japoneses ter feito um desses na última semana em Tóquio, foi a vez dos fãs tailandeses de Madonna se reunirem. A dança coletiva rolou ao som de uma versão que mistura “4 Minutes” com “Vogue”. As duas comoções foram para divulgar, por assim dizer, a coletânea “Celebration”, que acaba de ser lançada. Confira abaixo.

Reveja aqui o que rolou no Japão, organizada pelo dançarino Takahiro Ueno, ao som de “Celebration” e “Revolver”, as duas faixas inéditas que vem na coletânea.

Ah, quer fazer um flash mob também? Tem fã organizando em Belém, São Paulo e no Rio. Veja aqui.

Heiratet Madonna bald ihren Jesus?

Popdiva Madonna will erneut in den Hafen der Ehe einfahren und ihren Freund, Jesus Luz, heiraten.
Die 51-jährige sagt, sie könne sich das “sehr gut vorstellen”. Insider denken, die Hochzeit könnte noch dieses Jahr stattfinden. Angeblich bereitet sie bereits die Hochzeitszeremonie vor.
Allerdings befürchtet Madonna, in ihrer dritten Ehe für nicht ganz bei Trost gehalten zu werden. Immerhin ist ihr Zukünftiger 28 Jahre jünger als sie selbst.

Eye browse

An occasionally updated list of things seen, heard, read:

1. The nine hottest Madonna videos of all time, compiled by The Beast.

2. Staying with music, Nilanjana Roy makes a compelling case for why the next Nobel Laureate in literature needs to be Robert Zimmerman Bob Dylan.

3. Picked up, in course of a bookshop raid yesterday, Amartya Sen’s The Idea of Justice. I’ll likely inflict more on it once I get through the books I’m reading now and pick up Sen’s latest. In the interim, just stumbled on this appreciation in The Chronicle. Carlin Romano underlines the perennial fascination of this subject: justice is something everyone wants, yet no one has been able to adequately define.

More accurately, Another Idea of Justice

Plato argued, through his familiar Socratic ventriloquy, that justice is divine, an ideal to which human justice can only haltingly aspire. Aristotle then introduced a formal criterion of justice that still wins the greatest agreement, perhaps because it’s merely formal: Treat equals equally and unequals unequally.

From then on, follow the history of philosophers’ sentences that begin “Justice is … ” on and you hit so many diverse endings you wonder whether anyone, including the lady in the blindfold, knows what justice is.

To Aquinas, it’s “a certain rectitude of mind whereby a man does what he ought to do in the circumstances confronting him.” To Hume, it’s “nothing but an artificial invention.” To Sir Edward Coke, it’s “the daughter of the law, for the law bringeth her forth.” To 20th-century American jurist Learned Hand, it’s “the tolerable accommodation of the conflicting interests of society.” Do a survey, and about the only thinker who invites instant agreement is Belgian philosopher of law Chaim Perelman. According to Perelman, justice is simply “a confused concept.”

Madonna planeja se casar com Jesus Luz

Randy Taraborrelli, o biógrafo da popstar, afirma à revista Hello! que a união deve acontecer antes do fim do ano. “Madonna é louca por Jesus e anda dizendo para os amigos e familiares que vai definitivamente se casar com ele”.

O biógrafo afirmou ainda que a cantora está preparando uma cerimônia grandiosa. “Ela tem lembranças maravilhosas de seus dois casamentos e planeja algo grande e fantástico”.

Segundo Taraborrelli, um amigo de Madonna lhe contou que Jesus está maravilhado com a forma que a cantora conduz sua carreira e seu papel de mãe. “Ele a respeita muito e a entende. E claro, o sexo entre eles é muito quente. Para ser sincero, é o que está conduzindo as coisas”, teria dito. Madonna e Jesus se conheceram durante uma sessão de fotos para a revista W em um hotel do Rio de Janeiro, em dezembro do ano passado.

Madonna: La Cantante Quiere Empatar Record de Elvis

por: César Saldaña
Fuente: Televisa Espectáculos

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO, México, sep. 25, 2009.- A sus 51 años, Madonna parece no perder ni un poco del éxito con el que inició su carrera, pues ahora está por conseguir un histórico récord en el Reino Unido.

La cantante podría igualar la segunda posición de más discos que alcanzan el primer lugar en las listas del Reino Unido, récord que ostenta “El rey del rock”, Elvis Presley con once.

Para lograr la marca, Celebration, el nuevo material de Madonna estrenado el pasado lunes 21 de septiembre en el Reino Unido, deberá desbancar de la cima al álbum The Resistance de la banda inglesa Muse, quien consiguió el primer sitio la semana pasada.

Los cálculos a mitad de semana indican que el material de Madonna aventaja al de los rockeros.

Los Beatles mantienen el primer lugar de más discos colocados en el primer lugar.

OSF Tribute to a True Musical Maverick: Meshell Ndegeocello

It’s Tribute Week here at Old School Friday! And here is mine:

It was a hot summer day, Washington D.C., at some outdoor urban fair celebrating some thing or another and featuring overpriced bottled water and free concerts. It was a homecoming of sorts for Meshelle Ndegeocello, a relatively new artist on the scene. Though she was an Army brat born in Germany—she had spent some childhood and college years not far from where she was now jamming on stage. I was impressed with how tight her band was, how they changed chords at her merest nod of instruction and took it to the bridge one more time with the merest thump-signal of her bass. Somewhere in this enjoyment of the concert, the woman standing next to me said “Sweet Jesus, it’s like I wandered into a meeting of the dyke mafia.”

I experienced a moment of confusion. Perhaps she had assumed I was Family and was sharing a wry in-joke observation with me. In which case I would be flattered. But perhaps she had assumed I was a fellow homophobe and was sharing a hateful condemnation with me. In which case I would be outraged.

Probably for the sake of this blog post all these years later I should make up a story of a witty response on my part and a funny resolution. But as happens in most such ambiguous encounters, I said nothing. The moment hung there and then dissipated, leaving the sounds of Meshell and her kick-ass band going through another number for the crowd.

But I do recall then noticing for the first time that the audience was filled with almost all women. Some seamed just to be jamming and enjoying the music. Many, though, seemed to be silently dissecting Meshell and her lyrics: Here she is talking about “if that’s your boyfriend he wasn’t last night…wassup with that? Is that Black woman up front her partner? How well does she know Madonna? I thought her stuff would sound more like John Mellencamp. How the hell do you pronounce her name, anyway? So, is she a rapper or what?

OK. So I know I was probably imagining what these women were thinking. And I understand that most people—regardless of mafia membership—probably had to work a little at fitting Meshell into a neat box. She was funk and hip hop and spoken word and R&B and jazz and rock. She was an openly bisexual woman singing songs about loving men and loving women. She played an instrument that was a tall as she was. What the hell was she?

A maverick, that’s what.

How fitting, then, that she was recording on Madonna’s then-new label, Maverick Records.

Since that first album, she has continued to evolve. Themes of the the often-time painful exploration of spirituality and sexual and racial  identity have taken more space on her albums. Themes of sexual and romantic longing infuse her lyrics in ways that are honest and blunt and familiar to anyone who has ever loved and not-gotten or loved and lost. She has explored jazz instrumentals that—in an ideal world—would have critics talking of her ushering in a “neo-fusion” movement as they have talked of her jump starting “neo-soul.” She has collaborated with some of the most talented artists in the music world.

She is a staple on tribute albums and movie soundtracks, with her ability to so expertly study and reinterpret the music of her predecessors and to so beautifully  paint music-mood pictures.

Despite being—still—highly unpackageable in a heavily packaged musical world, she has managed to produce a steady output of music that is greedily gobbled up by a strong, if somewhat small, fan base.

And I hear that she will be releasing a new album!

I hope that this means she will also be embarking on a tour—a major one that will pass through my small corner of the universe. The Meshell Ndegeocello experience is not complete without seeing her in concert. I saw her one more time after the free D.C. concert—this time indoors, in Montreux, Switzerland at the famous jazz festival. Again, she was absolutely amazing. Again, her band was tight. Again, she took us through all sorts of genres and moods and grooves. She, obviously, takes performing seriously, as she had been no less professional and serious about her performance at her early free D.C. concert than on this international stage.

I can only hope—and wait. And in the meantime offer up this Old School Friday Tribute to a True Musical Maverick, Meshell Ndegeocello. As always, have a great OSF and a wonderful weekend. Enjoy!

Cartolina da Medjugorje

Gli italiani sono molto graditi a Medjugorje perchè fanno fare affari d’oro ai bosniaci e croati. Celebre dal 1981 per le regolari apparizioni della Vergine Maria a sei persone del posto, la piccola località della Bosnia-Erzegovina è diventata un enclave dell’Euro. Provate a tirar fuori dal portafoglio la valuta locale e farete indispettire gli esercenti. La furbata è stata studiata: i prezzi sono stati adeguati a quelli nostri e vecchie catapecchie si sono trasformate in “pansion” per accogliere pellegrini e curiosi che vanno lì sperando di vedere il prodigio. E tra i cattolici c’è chi preferisce  Medjugorje perchè qui “le manifestazioni” riguardano il nostro tempo, come se poi Fatima o Lourdes fossero posti da libri di storia! Non mi pare che quando ci sia di mezzo “la fede” sia regolare fare differenza tra i luoghi. Opportunismo spirituale o cosa? Il business è ovunque, persino all’ufficio postale dove è disponibile il francobollo con l’immagine della Madonna. Per fortuna, incamminandosi sulla collina delle apparizioni tra pietre spigolose e sassi taglienti, si ferma la volgarità che mortifica la fede e il culto. “Arrivi fino in cima. Ne vale la pena. Non si faccia ostacolare da questo sole cocente”, mi ammonisce una signora croata che spiffera qualche parola d’italiano. In cima a quella collina è tutto diverso, ma non c’è il prodigio visionario a cui tutti vorremmo assistere. C’è una pace e una tranquillità che mettono quiete nel nostro spirito. E così che il viaggio a Medjugorje trova la sua motivazione affinchè quella “Bianca Signora” non diventi folclore e il sacrosanto rispetto per la fede altrui si riduca ad altarini illuminati.

Madonna и ее концерт в Москве

Долгожданный час начала концерта Мадонны в Москве пришел в 21.00 и закончился около 24.00. Певица Мадонна была просто великолепна, стройная, спортивная и в разнообразных нарядах. Музыка не звучала вместе с ее голосом просто приятно для слуха. И время от времени музыка заглушалась отлично поставленными голосами доблестной охраны, которая ходила по рядам и грозным голосом сообщала, что после окончания концерта каждый сектор будет закрыт и открыт только после того, как вся масса потенциальных «танцоров» в специальном партере покинет Лужники. В общем, в определенный момент, оказавшись под его очарованием и убедительным тоном, мы все же приняли решение покинуть стадион раньше, что дало нам возможность, в отличие от тех, кто остался, не сидеть в полной тишине 2 часа после окончания концерта, ожидая официального разрешения покинуть стадион. Подводя итоги всего этого вечера, хочется сказать, что все здесь было просто великолепно, а главное бесплатно. А больше всего нам пришлось по нраву, когда до начала концерта сектора пытались делать волну, стараясь хоть немного согреться. Было очень задорно. Певицу Мадонну выносят висящей на кресте, а она поет, это оригинальный номер сопровождается установкой про голодающих детей африканского континента, и высвечиваются интернет порталы тех компаний, которые занимаются этой серьезной темой.

Сегодня певица не дремлет и новая песня Madonna – Celebration – это лишь подтвержение, что 51 летняя певица полна сил и готова продолжать радовать многочисленных поклонников все новыми и новыми хитами.

Como estamos nesse clima, queremos dividir isso com você.

Your Body Image - Loving the Woman Staring Back

Wow, sitting at Second Cup, writing today’s blog entry before going to serve pizza lunch at my son’s school. I have to say, I’m enjoying this new venture. I simply love everything women related, all the issues, and this has become an incredible medium for me to connect with all of you.

Because many of you have written in about body image, diet and other, I am dedicating today’s blog to you ladies. Summer is practically over, BBQ season is just about done, the flowing booze is no longer flowing. It’s time to head back to the gym and get remotivated. As my woman Oprah says, “It’s time to put yourselves back on your to-do list.”

I often hear, “I look like sh*t… I feel like sh*t… I need to lose 10 pounds… I’m too short… My thighs are too big… My skin looks old… I”m sagging…” and the list goes on and on. We are very hard on ourselves. Who can blame us? All you have to do is open any magazine… you see what you’re “supposed” to look like. An airbrushed, anorexic, body focused, diet and exercise obsessed individual. Sweethearts, you’re never gonna win that battle. Kelly Ripa, Madonna, and Gwyneth’s bodies are their careers. They have unlimited budgets to spend on custom designed organic meals brought to them three times a day. A trainer 7 days a week. A masseuse. An accupuncturist. A yoga guru. A spiritual adviser. A beautician on call 24/7. And the list goes go on and on.

Now, back to reality. If you’re like the rest of the world who just struggles to make it through the day, Stella, you gotta get your groove back! And while most women who stare in the mirror don’t love what they see staring back, it’s time to work with what you got. It’s time to embrace what god gave you and work it to your advantage. I swear, it ain’t all physical. Please let that soak in. Attractiveness is so way beyond how thin or fit you are, and how great your skin looks. It’s time to change your body image. I’m gonna try and help you below.

Firstly, let me give you a few disturbing facts. Take away what you will from them.

  • The average American woman is 5’4” tall and weighs 140 pounds. The average American model is 5’11” tall and weighs 117 pounds.
  • One out of every four college aged woman is suffering from an eating disorder.
  • At age 13, 53% of all American girls are “unhappy with their bodies.” This grows to an enormous 78% by the time the girls turn 17.

Now, starting today, you’re gonna try one or a few of these suggestions below. You’re gonna start loving the body you were given and make it work for you. Your going to start improving your own body image.

  1. Try and not weigh yourself. Go by how you feel. If you are at the gym exercising regularly and eating well, throw the scale away. You don’t need it if you’re doing everything else correctly. It just leads to obsessions!
  2. Surround yourself with realistic images of women, like the one at the top. Women come in all shapes and sizes, and stop perusing through Bazaar and Vogue in the grocery line.
  3. Look for clothes that compliment your OWN body shape and size… NOT THE ONE YOU WANT TO HAVE. Wearing clothes that fit you properly and look good on YOU will help you feel better. However, please note, external beauty isn’t only about your size. It’s about how you carry yourself, your confidence, your aura. Stop those negative thoughts.
  4. Exercise. Do something 3-6 times a week that makes you sweat. The endorphins do great things for your brain. They give you feelings of euphoria. It will in turn have beneficial results on your body. It’s a whole positive cycle.
  5. You’re gonna have to be with yourself for a very long time. Treat yourself kindly. Wake up gently. Grab a cup of warm tea. Shower with care. Get ready slowly if you can. Take a hot bath at night with lavender oils. It’s not realistic every day. But pampering yourself makes you feel better. And when you feel better in your brain, it shows everywhere.

And realize. All we can do is our best in life. Try and cut yourself some slack. Learning to love yourself inside and out is a process. Start today. Go easy on yourselves. Be kind to the woman staring back in the mirror. Love her.
