    Recently rediscovered Noga Erez through her relatively current single Nails (feat. Missy Elliott) and I can’t fathom how nonfamous she still seems to be despite her obvious talent.

    Just listen to the new song and those amazing performances of ‘Views’ and ‘End Of The Road’ from her 2021 Album ‘Kids’ —which is still available as limited coloured vinyl:

  • I don’t know what I’m doing. And if you don’t know what to do, there’s actually a chance of doing something new. As long as you know what you’re doing, nothing much of interest is going to happen.

    When coffee is all gone. It’s over.

    This advertising by Duolingo made me chuckle.

    Kimonos are known for being expensive, and a kimono from the Japanese brand Chiso is one of the most expensive you can buy. One kimono takes around 20 artisans over six months to make, and it can cost over $10,000. We followed the process of creating a handmade kimono, step-by-step, to find out what makes these garments so expensive.

    I always love to see some good craftsmanship in action, especially from Japan and even more so if it’s about a traditional craft like in this video from Business Insider on Why Chiso Kimonos Are So Expensive.

    2526 refers to the number of hours invested in the creation of the two polymorphic robotic garments, from ideation to the finish, from the first line of drawing to the last stitch.

    Absolutely blown away by these two mesmerizing pieces of kinetic clothing by Montreal-based fashion designer and professor at the University of Quebec in Montreal Ying Gao. Definitely check out the other fashion projects on his website, there’s a lot of amazing stuff to discover;

    This short film tells the story of Walter Strohmeyer who for almost all of his 90 years has been swimming in the waters off Long Island. An honest and at times heartfelt story about the power of ritual.

    The Swimmer by Blaise Hayward is a wonderful little short, I love everything about it.

  • The system will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling … their ideas, their version of history, their wars … their notion of inevitability. Remember this: We may be many and they be few … Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.

    We cannot make social media good, because it is fundamentally bad, deep in its very structure. All we can do is hope that it withers away, and play our small part in helping abandon it.

    According to Ian Bogost from The Atlantic The Age of Social Media Is Ending. Yes, please!

    Bordeaux Concert is a special document from Keith Jarrett’s last European tour. Each of Jarrett’s 2016 solo piano concerts had its own strikingly distinct character, and in Bordeaux the lyrical impulse is to the fore.
