There’s a pretty clear formula for producing music that I will like. Read More

TONKA – 6 Degrees of Separation from Demi Moore

Patricia | January 9th, 2012

This is an anecdote about what’s called a duplet of Colombian cinematographers who started working in a converted apartment, from a dining room to a meeting room (several times a day) and ended up in the tweets of Ashton Kutcher (among other things).

It’s not ice, but it also melts!

Patricia | January 9th, 2012

I’ve been overwhelmed by anything that involves chocolate before, but this has been the only time that I’ve completely refrained myself from eating it.

Honesty is the Key

Patricia | January 5th, 2012

I’ve always admired people who work hard and believe in themselves, therefore when any person asks me whom I respect and highly recommend, my pal Jorge Jiménez comes to mind in a sec. Read More

Diva Gash

Patricia | January 5th, 2012

 

I have to agree that, as an artist, being born in a Latin country is almost a curse, but as much as it comes with suffering the fact that the world expects us to be upholstered with the cliches that have haunted us since Carmen Miranda, it is always great surprise. Read More

Let’s make a picture

Dicky | December 29th, 2011

As film companies are cutting back on the stocks they manufacture, labs are closing or cutting back services (I still can’t get over that A&I is ending their E-6 processing), and basically everyone is constantly talking about how “film is dead”, it is a pretty audacious act to unveil a newly designed, hand-cranked, 35 mm motion picture camera.

I’ve still got love for Vincent Gallo.

Rita | December 26th, 2011

I re-watched Buffalo 66 last night and I have officially decided that it is one of my favorite movies.

If it’s not Broke…

Paul | November 16th, 2011

Ok, I am hooked on Breaking Bad, who isn’t? But aren’t we getting a little tired of the whole drug-based TV series?  It seems that because they used pot on the show Weeds, heroine in The Wire, and alcoholism in basically every television show, they were like “oh hey, we haven’t done one about meth yet!” Read More

Cyprien Gaillard ruins everything

Guillaume | September 30th, 2011

When we arrive at the Espace Sud of Pompidou Centre , two big letters higher than man size stand as a warning: UR, standing for Underground Resistance, written in the famous typography of the label.

The harpsichord is probably my favorite instrument. Read More

The Return of Modest Sexy

Lee | June 28th, 2011

Minnow Bathers

Hallelujah, it’s sexy to have your booty covered! I am just so pleased to see vintage inspired bathing suits popping up everywhere.  Finally, one pieces are alluring, and highwaisted bikinis are cute again! No longer must an adorable, demure vintage lover like myself scour Etsy for the perfect vintage bikini, I have my pick of brands and sizes from dozens of retailers. Hooray!

Cigarettes and Coffee

Paul | June 23rd, 2011

I was watching Blue Valentine with my girlfriend the other day and at the bit in the motel where Ryan Gosling’s guy puts on some doo-wop song on the stereo she asked me ‘how come you never play romantic music to me’. Read More

Fries with that?

Paul | June 21st, 2011

Films based on comics. I love them. Although I feel that I only love them because I’ve been pre-programmed to love them. It’s like how McDonald’s advertises to kids, so that when they’re grown up they go to McDonald’s and take their kids there. Read More

Sonar got it together again

Paul | June 21st, 2011

Sonar is obviously the biggest event of the year for Barcelona. It’s like a second Christmas, conveniently nestled in the bosom of June, where everyone starts buying drugs getting ready for weeks in advance. Read More

A decent bookshop is hard to find.

Paul | June 20th, 2011

The future of bookselling lies in the past. Pequod Libres is a new bookshop that recently opened in Gracia. It takes its name from Captain Ahab’s Whaler in Moby Dick and the Catalan word for books (which also means free in the plural). Get it? Got it? Good.
