On 23 February was the day that we could enjoy 'DoYaThing'. Today, thanks to the people of Converse, we can see the video of the issue that has united in the same studio artists as diverse as Gorillaz, Andre 3000 (yes, of OutKast) and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. Far from wanting to do something traditional or recurrent, this small group of musical beasts have chosen to submit a video that mixes 2D and 3D in a really clever ... and taking a piece of Murdoc hangover as a starting point!
Within five minutes we enjoyed seeing the effects of the (presumably huge party) that ran the Gorillaz guys yesterday. Of all the strange moments that you see in the video we stayed with our friend living hair blue to open the shower door. ¿Small pickers little men sweat?Go laugh!.

Bon Iver show the video of 'Towers'. A journey through the beauty
Bon Iver still insists on his particular race to color a universe all its own. The architect who builds monuments dreamlike beauty. The magnificent craftsman who uses the concept of pilgrimage in his artistic idea. The draftsman instead of using bevel square and uplifting guitar lines, steamy atmospheres, sound stages filled with crude colors, earth tones and orchestral tints.
All this prose and persecution plastic construction can be seen in the new video that Bon Iver has been submitted for 'Towers', one of the most achieved and outstanding and its almost classical album 'Bon Iver' (Jagjaguwar, 2011). Here we see a beautiful and meticulous cinematography, bathed in bright autumn light heavy weight. Large flat where we are imposing landscapes that cut the air. A character out of an imaginary novel "boniverista" with the self-characterization based lumberjack shirt, "cabañismo" anarchic beard and hair populated capsized. All scenes and scenarios serve to accompany this character on his way to a dream. Pilgrimage to the artistic ideal, again. The fortified place and have to build their own, despite the distances that have to travel and means of transport have to use. A trip blowing beauty and poetic, with a dose of tragedy and desplomante final.
In short, a brilliant tour. So and so lucid. To somewhere a bit inaccurate but also very clear. Why in the way of the dream of Wisconin architect does not matter where you want to go, but be clear in what ways is to move and insist, wander through plasticity, beauty and very good manners.

Bruce Springsteen talks about "Wrecking Ball" in Paris
Bruce Springsteen in Paris on Thursday presented his new album, Wrecking Ball, which goes on sale on March 6, in an interview with French journalist Antoine de Caunes (who, it seems, is a big fan of New Jersey) .
In addition to talking a bit about the eleven songs that comprise his seventeenth studio work, Springsteen took a moment to remember the sadly late Clarence "Big Man" Clemmons, stating that for him his loss was devastating: "Losing is like losing Clarence the rain, "he said to remember. Obama also discussed, indicating that still is on their side, although no longer actively participate in the upcoming presidential campaign.
Although theoretically Springsteen's label has banned any criticism of the disc until next Feb. 27, some media have released some touches on this new job. Andy Gill, The Independent, for example, calls him "a passionate mix of powerful sound of Springsteen with muscular rock-folk, gospel music and Irish rebel."

Grails: The Colors Of The Dark
Just to emphasize again here: The GRAILS part of the delicate ones, that which is currently moving through the sound world out there! "Deep Politics" the Portland quintet 2011 has once again hit a hook and make various stylistic expectations come to nothing. Instead of a poor imitation of the great "Doomsdayer's Holiday" to lie, they are responsible for the production of their new album once again back and traveled through time and space to deal with an enormous amount of finesse and detail a variety of influences - The palette ranges from Middle Eastern music and 60s-psych up 70s TV series melodies and western soundtracks - in their psychedelic sound mix weave. With grandiose string arrangements by Timb Harris (MASTER MUSICIANS OF BUKKAKE, SECRET CHIEFS 3, Estradasphere, etc.)! Unusual and intense!

Opera, seductive
In Munich's smallest opera house, the Pasinger factory, runs until 26 February, the second series of the acclaimed Don Giovanni directed by Julia Dippel, in June, 2011 premiere.
Don Giovanni is a seducer, who, without the daily challenge of conquering a woman who can no longer define themselves. He also leaves his wife, Donna Elvira in the wedding night are easy, because the goal is reached. Why did he ever married is a mystery. He tries to Donna Anna, his servant Leporello must be dope. Donna Anna does not quite know their cries wake the father, who then is killed by Don Giovanni. He leaves behind a broken Donna Anna, Don Ottavio, whose fiance revenge for the death of his father-in-law swears. His next target is none other than Donna Elvira, whom he does not recognize. Quite forgetful type. No wonder that Leporello tries to Elvira with a reference to the numerous love affairs (Italy 640, Germany 230, France 100, Persia, 90, Spain 1003, the man comes around) to comfort the DG. The third victim will eventually be Zerlina, which is on the verge of marriage to Masetto. Leporello again must serve to distract the jealous husband fast. In the end, however, a DG takes his selfish behavior, because all, including the dead father's plot against him.
Lively it is because the "opera of operas", which is certainly the excellent German text modernized version of the director to owe - and the fact that text is sung very understandable. Martin Steinlein conducted the orchestra at the conductor's podium in chamber music ensembles excellent singer and very friendly. Almost in passing, he also accompanied the recitatives and plays with a little bit. This is one of the major advantages of the production, she plays with the venue and all persons present. Since the beginning of Donna Elvira wanders about and shows a photo of DGs, as are the aisles for the additional stage, there must ever seen a woman in the audience to the front and anschmachten of DG can.
The stage is simple, a staircase that leads to a platform on which a bed is available. Side before the orchestra is placed. This provides for optimum acoustics, at least at my place. The audience consists of many bistro tables to be seated in groups of four. Here is eaten and drunk during the opera, just as in the early days of musical theater. There is surprisingly quiet and you can enjoy the night without being disturbed. The costumes are classic and timeless, just like the story.
An important point for the success of an opera singer, the evening and they were that night good to very good. It had the men in the lead, especially Sebastian Campione as Don Giovanni. His strong, but pleasantly soft voice was perfect for the seductive role and safely melted so many women's hearts in the audience. His duet with Diana Marina Fischer who led the women's squad as Zerlina, singing La ci darem la mano, here in Italian / English / German, was one of the highlights of the evening. Also a very good performance offered Phillip Gaiser as Leporello, Wilko Döring as Commendatore / Masetto and Adrian Sandu as Don Ottavio. Julia Chalfin impressed as Donna Elvira and Ikumu Mizushima added splendidly in this high-class ensemble.
This production is especially for opera newcomers useful since this is connected with the advantages of the great opera smallest opera house: it is generally somewhat informal, it is closer, it is less rigid than, for example at the National Theatre. Tickets reduced from 21 €, ticket of Munich.
