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.

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.

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.

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.
