Los feeling - Visitor

How can I introduce Visitor without saying a thing that have not already been said about them? It is tough.
It is a duo from London, England that is signed to the French music label Vulture and obviously their pop music is full of passion. I have seen in some articles where people believe that "It could even make you believe again in pop music".
"Los feeling" version you will listen to is a remix of Alan Braxe (owner of the Vulture Label).

The powerful and clean video clip reflects exactly what we all love. Enjoy!

Mad Max / George Miller (1979)

Pacific!

Pacific! (from Gothenburg, Sweden) makes some smooth music that you would absolutely enjoy listening on a sunny summer day, while chilling with some friends and having a barbecue party. Well, at least this is the feeling I have about "Unspoken" song, which is brilliant and cheesy!

Get albums: Narcissus / Reveries

1979 / Paris Match magazine cover: Jacques Mesrine

Visage

Visage is the name of a British New Wave band formed in 1978.

Just in case some would ignore the term "New Wave", this is a type of music that was developed in the 70s in UK and U.S, and it includes some experimental, electronic, disco, and others styles. Indeed, it was popular in the 80s and some say that this genre has actually influenced the current Indie Rock wave.

Having say this, "Fade to Grey" was released on 1980 and reached #8 in UK Chart (1981) and #1 in Germany. French people will be pleased to hear some parts of the song are singing en Français!

EarthRise, 1968

This photo is actually the first photo of our planet taken from the moon! It was taken by astronaut William Anders in 1968 during the Apollo 8 mission, and it has been called by Galen Rowell (a photographer) “the most influential environmental photograph ever taken”.

I will let you be the judge.

1985

Let me introduce an extract from a French classic 80s movie directed by Patrick Schulmann in 1985: "P.R.O.F.S.".

Farah Rescalvo / Inkultmagazine Mexico

Inkultmagazine is a Mexican art, design and culture magazine with the aim of promoting Mexican artists to the world.
You will find below the 5th digital version with a particular feature: "THE FARAH RESCALVO's FIRST OFFICIAL PUBLICATION".

(This girl is actually part of my life since hmmm... long time now and I am proud to announce her very first publication! For those interested, her works are right at the begining of the magazine. You cannot miss it!)

Check her portofio out for more and enjoy the rest of the magazine.

Robert Mapplethorpe

R. Mapplethorpe was an American photographer, born in 1946 and died of AIDS in 1989. He said that he was influenced by artists such as Marce Duchamp and Joseph Cornell for his works.
He took his first photos in the mid-70s with a Polaroid camera and then he integrated them to some collages. "Polaroids" was his first exhibition in solo at the Light Gallery in New York City, in 1973.

His works were qualified of "pornography" (even by the artist himself!) but the aim was not shocking people but "looking for things he has never seen before". You will easily imagine that he was one of the most controversial photograph of his time.

Two years after the exhibition he changed his Polaroid camera for a Hasselblad medium-format camera and he started to take picture of his circle of friends (artists, pornography film star, musicians, etc...).
He actually also made the album cover of Patti Smith's album "Horse", and series of portraits and parties for magazines.

You will find below some "classic" photos, but unfortunately I will not publish some of his pornographic works as some would describe it, because I think it would be inappropriate and shocking.

Anyway enjoy his photos.

North Korea Parade: cheers, missiles & tanks for celebrating!

As you may already know Kim Jong-Un is likely to take the role as leader of his father King Jong-Il pretty soon. He actually has been promoted to 4-star general and as vice-chairman of the Workers Party's central military commissionlast month. Besides, the Chinese government seems to have approved the succession of the son, as it fears an instability in N.Korea which would lead to another wave of refugees crossing borders of China. It is clearly a significance of soon transition of power.

Anyway the parade was broadcasted in live on the national channel and it celebrated the 65th anniversary of Workers' party (led by third generation of the Kim family).
Actually 24 millions of North Korean had never seen the son Kim Jong-Un before, so they eventually discovered what their future leader looks like yesterday...

The parade was said to be the largest ever celebrating in the nation's history.

You better watch the video and look at images to see concretely what is going on in this secret part of world.
