Arcade Fire & David Bowie – Life On Mars? (Live at Fashion Rocks)
Greetings!
Life on Mars? is one of David Bowie‘s best and most moving songs. Appeared for the first time on the album Hunky Dory from 1973, BBC Radio 2 later called “a cross between a Broadway musical and a Salvador Dalí painting”. The attached version is a recorded performance of David Bowie together with Arcade Fire (featured last week) at Fashion Rocks on 8th September, 2005 in New York. [click to continue…]
TV on the radio – Halfway Home
For this Monday’s Tune I’ve chosen to include the song “Halfway Home” by TV on the Radio, who were featured on Monday’s Tune last year.
The song is from the album ‘Dear Science’ which was named the best album of 2008 by Rolling Stone, The Guardian, Spin Magazine, Consequence of Sound, MTV, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork Media’s readers poll, and was ranked 7th in Q Magazine’s list of the 50 best albums of 2008, where it was described as “art rock with a human face”.

This concept came to me as I was walking in the streets of SoHo in New York in April 2007. The display windows reflected the houses on the street, and I thought that the houses reflected the window displays.
This is happening in any city that we live in. The city is a reflection of our way of consumer culture. We can see it in every corner, in every city in the world.
This is my reflections on consumerism.
* I would like it to be my next idea for an exhibition.

Max Richter – The Haunted Ocean 4
Hello all,
It is time to go back to the weekly Monday’s Tune after a long break.
For the first episode of season 2, I’ve decided to send a tune that Dina sent a week ago in her own music list. The track is by Max Richter, composed for the Israeli docu-animation Waltz with Bashir, directed by Ari Folman. [click to continue…]
So This is the first post of the new year.
I guess this year really started for me with the Jewish New Year, in September. Then, I moved back to London, after almost a year in New York and New Jersey (with a break in California and Israel).
But if the real starting point was in September, then the Beginning is happening now. I mean, now I have a job, I have a house, I’ve settled with the fact that me and Dina are going to have a Cross-Atlantic relationship for some time.
This is the beginning of a new era, for me, for us.
Last night we went to New York to eat sushi. Yes, just for the sushi. The train (NJ Transit) was free for a week for students and yesterday was the last day. So we packed our things and hopped to New York. The sushi and the maki were great and cheap (like it should be for students). I will do it again.
This shot was taken outside Penn Station and was edited via Adobe Lightroom (I’m still thrilled by the capabilities of this software). (link).
