Imortais

Um cineasta é um homem porque tem ideias; é um artista porque tem imginação. Michelangelo Antonioni
[29 Setembro 1912 - 30 Julho 2007]


O cinema europeu ficou muito mais pobre com o desaparecimento, em menos de 24 horas, de dois seus nomes maiores: Ingmar Bergman e Michelangelo Antonioni.

Do obituário de Antonioni publicado pelo inglês Guardian:
"At the Oscars ceremony in March 1995, the year of Forrest Gump, he received an honorary Oscar in recognition of his career from the hands of Jack Nicholson (chosen of course because he had been the star of The Passenger). After handing over the award, Nicholson asked him if there was a young American director of today he liked (it was the year of Pulp Fiction, which was to lose out that night to Forrest Gump). Antonioni mumbled a "no", pointed to Jack as maybe his choice, and everyone laughed."

O jornal sublinha, apontando para o You Tube, algumas das melhores cenas filmadas por Antonioni.
Os imortais não morrem.

The Clockworks, Mayday Mayday

Mayday Mayday, the latest from The Clockworks, a four-piece Irish post-punk band from Galway, Ireland, now based in London. Formed in 2019, the band consists of James McGregor (vocals and guitar), Sean Connelly (guitar), Damian Greaney (drums), and Tom Freeman (bass).  One of the most exciting new bands in the post-punk scene, a blend of indie rock and garage rock, with driving guitars and catchy melodies, currently working on their debut album. The Clockworks are a young band with a lot of potential, helping to bring Irish rock back to the forefront. Stay tuned!   

Iain McKell, "New Gypsies"

"Historically despised the new Gypsies are there by choice, not heritage. Unrelated to the Roma, the movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travellers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe - the new gypsies - present-day rural anarchists, living the subversive lifestyle in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans."

New Order - Video 5-8-6 [Extended 22:23 version]

“Video 5 8 6” is a song originally composed as “pap” (as Tony Wilson put it) for the opening night of the Haçienda on May 21, 1982. Parts of this pearl would become the basis for the Power, Corruption & Lies tracks “5 8 6” and “Ultraviolence”, as well as the associated 12-inch single “Blue Monday”.
