Metronomy - “The Look”
Já postei essa música nova do Metronomy aqui, mas vale voltar a ela, olha que delícia.
Canta junto, vai. E tenha um boa dia:
You’re up and you’ll get down
You never running from this town
Kinda think you said
You’ll never get anything better than this
‘Cause you’re going round in circle
And everyone knows you’re trouble
Cause you read it in a big book
And now you giving me the look look
But just remember how we shook shook
And all the things we took took
This times the oldest friend of mine
Get up and we get down
We’re always running round this town
And to think I said
We’d never make anything better than this
‘Cause we’re always in small circles
And everyone thinks we’re trouble
We didn’t read it in the big book
And now we’re giving you the look look
Just remember how we shook shook
And all the things we took took
This times the oldest friend of mine
Banksy at ‘Art In The Streets’
One of the biggest surprises of Art In The Streets was the inclusion of Banksy, who I don’t think was mentioned on any of the publicity materials. Or maybe I just had no idea he was going to be there, either way, I was pleasantly surprised to see his work. It ended up being a mix of both older and newer work, as well as several old stencils that are almost iconic with the idea of Banksy, much like the ‘Andre the Giant Has A Posse’ sticker and Shepard Fairey. Randomly, he also included the piece of paper above, which was sitting on the giant, bloody flattening machine, which gives some important information about his part of the show.
First is the fact that his part is an ongoing project, and will shift and change as the exhibit goes on… or he may have just been late. It also describes that the giant cathedral tag window was done in collaboration with the City of Angels school, showcasing the work of a ton of kids. It also notes that the taxidermy dog was not killed by Banksy, it was found in a freezer, so don’t get all crazy about that part. Overall I thought his section was really great, I definitely spent a little while looking at his pieces and smiling. Maybe Banksy isn’t getting boring…?

"A palestra do Queremos no TEDxRio
021 Queremos from TEDxRio on Vimeo.
“Queremos não é apenas um verbo conjugado na primeira pessoa do plural. Ganhou ponto-com-ponto-br e se mostrou um exemplo singular de mobilização social através das redes sociais. Bruno Natal, integrante do Queremos.com.br poderia ter falado da idéia que teve junto com outros cinco amigos para trazer shows de música para o Rio, mas ganhou a platéia num discurso fluente, bem-humorado e atual – misturando marcha pela descriminalização da maconha, José Sarney, queda do ditador do Egito e É o tchan - sobre o equilíbrio entre gerar motivação para obter engajamento e como recompensar.”
Finalmente pintou o vídeo da palestra do Queremos no TEDxRio, em fevereiro passado, apresentada por mim em nome do grupo - uma das realizações coletivas mais gratificantes de que já participei.
