Diesel new identity is unveiled

Please welcome Sid Lee!

Artsy Lördag

Yesterday I went to a Swedish exhibition called 'Touching the Invisible'' at la Sat. It's quite an original exhibition that is mixing art, science and technology. The 'Brain ball' installation is a futurist battle between 2 'competitors' alpha waves. Quite unusual! Oh and it's free so you don't have any reason to miss it!

Later that night, I went to a dance show called Import/Export by Les Ballets C. de la B. from Belgium. It was a mix of dancing and theatre with a live string quartet. It's kind of difficult to describe the performance but I can say it was very touching. The more I think about it, the more it grows into me.

Diesel new identity

Next Monday, the firm where I'm currently working, Diesel , will change its name...

November rain

Highlights

Cinema
Babel (Alejandro Inarritu Gonzalez): beautiful and touching movie. A real masterpiece. Best movie of 2006 in my humble opinion. Run see this movie!

DVD
-I'm watching the last season of Six Feet Under these days...What a great TV serie. Two DVDs to go but I don't want to watch them...I just don't want my Six Feet Under journey to be over. Nate, poor thing, call me and I'll help you out.
-Jack will be back soon so that's comforting :-)
-Brothers and Open Hearts (Susan Bier): I liked these movies as much as 'After the Wedding'. Bier is very talented. I was particularly touched by Brothers. The final part is emotionally charged. Great actors. Nikolaj Lie Kaas is not only talented but very handsome (sorry, I could not help it, he he).

Music
-The Rapture (November 2, Club Soda): The guys have a cool stage presence. They overcame my expectations! Personal highlight: I Need You.
-Hot chip (November 5, Sala Rossa): I was very excited about this concert. I LOOOOOVE their second album (which remind me I should buy their first) so I could not wait for their concert. Iléana, Véro and I had dinner at Sala Rossa, the restaurant (the venue is upstairs). And guess what? The guys from Hot Chip had dinner at the table next to us! Oui mes amis. But as very bad fans, we didn't recognized them...We even mentionned 'Whoa, what a bunch of weirdos' when they came in the restaurant. Ouch! The show was amazing!!! The re arranged their songs so it does not sound exactly like the album and they played quite a few new (+excellent) songs. They played Over and Over at the encore and I'm telling you, I thought the floor would break! Amazing show! I hope they'll come back soon!

How cool is that?
On this rainy and cold day, I'm reading the 20th anniversay issue of Q magazine. I got the one with Madonna which is pretty cool. I'd exchange it for the one with Damon Albarn or Noel Gallagher though...Anyone? ;) This is issue is like candy to me. When they asked Larry Mullen his favorite artist of the last 20 years, he answered Arcade Fire. Pretty cool, huh? Crazy how we're proud of the artists who are from our hometown...They listed Definitely Maybe from Oasis as a must have album of the last 20 years. I haven't listened to it for a while so I put it in the cd player and yeah, it rocks! I always liked Oasis even in their lows.
