Miami Horror new album


The new Miami Horror album Illumination is finally out and it is awesome.
If you like synth pop, disco, retro sunshine electo or indie music you will be pleased by Illumination which is the result of 4 years of hard work.

(For those who do not know Miami Horror, in short it is an electro-pop band from Melbourne, Australia influenced by 70s-80s artists such as Prince, ELO, Giorgio Moroder, etc.)

Below, you will find 3 extracts of the album and I can tell "Sometimes" is definitely one of my favourite.

Duane Hanson

The american hyperealist scultpor Duane Hanson was established as one of the leading sculptors of the late twentieth century.
Since the early 1970’s Duane Hanson has been making sculptures of middle American class from live models, recreated in bronze or fibreglass resin.

His incredible last work called "The American Dream" was exhibited this summer in Le Parc de la Villette, Paris.

"My images are no more than what you see in real life" - declared the american artist.

Below you will find some scupltures from the last exhibition in Paris.

An obvious common point of every works is: "Unhapiness". We can clearly see these works contain strong social comments...







This is how we do in the West Coast!

Feliz CumpleaƱos

The English website LearnSomethingEveryday.co.uk celebrates its one year old.

It's been already one year that this funny and original concept has been created.
The concept is "learn a fact every single day of the year and then if interested you have the possibility to print the draws on American Apparel t-shirts." This is simply brilliant...
I'd like to congratulate and encourage the founders for such great idea!

Patrick Joseph Cowley



For those who did not know the existence of Pat, let's say he could be considered as the father of Hi-NRG music and had a reputation of exceptional performer and musical producer.
He was born on October, 1950 in Buffalo, New York where he spent his childhood until 1971. Then he moved from NYC to San Francisco for an intense study of the synthesizer at San fransisco City College.

Patrick was recognized as a master using the "E-mu system" synthesizer, because he did it intuitively and could not explain how he got such sounds... interesting isn't it?

This thing above is the "E-mu system" synthesizer" used in 1973.


I guess you are thinking: "what's the point in introducing Patrick Cowley?"
Well actually there is not point, I just want you to discover his work, simply because he deserves it and to make you realize how ahead of his time he was.

His discography is made of 4 albums:
Menergy (1981)
Megatron Man (1981)
Mind Warp (1982)
Catholic (2009 - recorded 1976)

To give you an idea of what the HI-NRG music is, I choose Megatron Man released in 1982, which is by the way my favourite song of P.C, but I could not leave without publishing "Menergy" (released in 1981) which is without doubt, the most famous song from his discography.

Cheers Pat.
