@ The Deaf Institute

Weird but interesting Danish band Liima @ The Deaf Institute in Manchester (anyhow, for some minutes felt like back in the 80s/90s when going to gigs with a backpack packed with all sort of alcoholic drinks).

Manchester

Meanwhile, in Manchester, is pouring gravely. In a stringency moment went back to that tight, sensations flowing and warm felt hug lasting years, on a chance encounter, which had last less than a minute.

Ain't Gonna Rain Anymore

Ain't Gona Rain Anymore by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Once there came a storm in the form of a girl
It blew to pieces my snug little world
Sometimes I swear I can still hear her howl
Down through the wreckage and the ruins

And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone

Now the storm has passed over me
I'm left to drift on a dead calm sea
And watch her forever through the cracks in the beams
Nailed across the doorways of the bedrooms of my dreams

And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone

Now I got no one to hold
Now I am all alone again
It ain't too hot but it ain't too cold
And there is no sign of rain

And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
And I'm
Here I'm on my own

She ain't coming back no more
She ain't coming back no more
She ain't coming back no more
Say what you will, I don't care

And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone, yeah
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby has gone

A London

at Ping
Andy Warhol had photography running through his whole practice. From the screen prints of famous people, to the soup cans, he used photography in a diaristic way taken one to three films a day. A combination of expressions about life; an interest in the non-hierarchical of contemporary life and everyday life things, and also on the reproducibility of the image. His work alludes to the reproducibility of the image, like a wall of mirrors, of photographic reproduction. By stitching images together (like the ones of the ice cream van, in the photo below) he produces a unique art work. With a sculptural quality. With him we see "famous" people laying together with, positioned on the same level of recognisable objects, brands, those desirous things/wants that define the society where we find ourselves immersed in on an historical level. He said things about life, sex, playing, felling both ways with music and things we can't say about food and about you, it is about two, three, the night and day be together.

Political disobedience! Urban poetics! Public curatorship!

It is what makes Europe so rich in terms of discourse, thought, culture and liberties... to bad the last sentence on the first video... delivered from the womb of social revolution and common disobedience, by the social-destroyers of history - the French.

Sunday evening

Although the music was pleasurable and melodious to bad the sound was not in it's best, because I couldn't understand a word of what the Marble Jacksons' were singing at The Old Queen Head, in Angel.

A Creature I Don't Know



I am not concerned with what you do think about. I was one of the few privileged that was at Laura Marling concert down in London tonight. Two thousand people stayed together in silence to listen to the 2011 Female Voice in a ten UK sold out tour to support the promotion of her new solo album A Creature I Don't Know. At first I've got misled to the somber pieces composed by Drake, words drawn by the works of William Blake and other of the kind, but these were more of the kind of the one I can only find in nature. Not a sea, sun and sand music, but more into the roots. Trawling for warmth along green valleys and streams of fresh water running down the hill. A timeless sensation! In a place where acoustic music has the ability to touch people, Marling's voice made me feel in love, holding in my arms the one who do love me. Like everything in life it is just about emotions with a clear-headed mind. Thank you very much. Hope you have had a good time. I know you did!
