a gem a day: The Village
http://gem-a-day.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-village.html
A gem a day. Keeping you, friends and foes, up to date with my daily inspirations and aspirations. The Village, an awarded short animation by Mark Baker, United Kingdom (1993). I recall a British documentary set in a village all in turmoil over two newcomers, an elderly couple, who dared to erect an ugly, unusually high wall around their house. And the more the villagers spoke, the more they let slip. tiny snippets demonstrating that they climbed, and drilled a loophole into, that wall to pry and spy.

A gem a day. Keeping you, friends and foes, up to date with my daily inspirations and aspirations. LONDON, 2 January 1884. As the Daily Empire. Reminds us, we are entering the feared year of 1884. It was more than 30 years ago, in 1848, that Mr Phineas Jupitus horrified the audience at the Old Red Lion Theatre, when unveiling his phantasmagorical steam image projection machine. The audience was ever so pleased at first - elated! We are now living in that prophesized future. Antony and the Johnson's title...

a gem a day: Of human whale songs, and monsters

A gem a day. Keeping you, friends and foes, up to date with my daily inspirations and aspirations. Of human whale songs, and monsters. Antony and the Johnson's title track from their 'Cut the World' live album is, indeed, old news, being that it's already been performed as part of The Life and Death of Marina Abramović. What brings it back to the stage is the above avantgarde video directed by Nabil Elderkin. And starring Willem Dafoe and Carice van Houten. I kept saying out loud: 'Who is he?

A gem a day. Keeping you, friends and foes, up to date with my daily inspirations and aspirations. A bed is a book. Open at twilight. Cover yourself with the page. Read yourself into sleep. Write yourself out. This 'writtenafterwards' futon book bed was designed by Yusuke Suzuki. Is a Japanese fashion and culture label. While Waterloo was no doubt Napoleon’s most crushing defeat, it was not his most embarrassing. The shooting party – now in shambolic disarray – could do nothing to stop them&#...According...

a gem a day: Who
http://gem-a-day.blogspot.com/2012/09/who.html
A gem a day. Keeping you, friends and foes, up to date with my daily inspirations and aspirations. Is a wonderfully tomwaitsy opening track on Love This Giant. A rare and unsettling album that entered the market mere days ago. The album is a mesmerizing collaboration between David Byrne (the frontman of Talking Heads) and Annie Clark (the alias of St. Vincent). The who-hounts-whom. Video of mutual pursuits was directed by Martin de Thurah. Who’s gonna be my friend. September 12, 2012 at 4:16 PM.

A gem a day. Keeping you, friends and foes, up to date with my daily inspirations and aspirations. Tu Fawning's 'Heart on Holds'(2010) is a project album by two Portlanders: Joe Haege of the '31 knots' and Corrina Repp. The song here featured is 'I know you now'. On a lucky day, you may come accross Miss Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse on her stroll through Amsterdam. It is easy enough to spot her. Always and everywhere, she wears period clothing from the 1930s and 1940s (see for yourself in her photostream. An arti...

A gem a day. Keeping you, friends and foes, up to date with my daily inspirations and aspirations. In the princedom by the sea. Every prose is a narrative, and good prose will make you search for the narrator. The images above are of Humbert Humbert, not only a literary character from, but also the narrator of, Vladimir Nabokov's 'Lolita'. The first image was created using law enforcement composite sketch software and descriptions of literary characters. Go here. I was and still am, despite. She did, ind...
