Park Live. Day 1. Put on your red shoes... lipstick!

I think this festival has only one minus. Sound! Yes, Poets of the Fall did suffere from it. As well as Limp Bizkit in the beginning. But when Poets were trying to be nice and remind the sound crew that they should listent to what's going, Limp Bizkit frontman just gave a microphone WTF-look and magicly it started to work. Otherwise it was AWESOME!
Music, weather, company and a lot of expensive water ;)
Ladies were very pleased to get red brasslets!

"POTF will release a new album while you are getting ready,girls!" (c) ;)

Limp Bizkit. Me - I'll sit on the grass... ok I'll stand here, behind everyone... yeah, they seems good... Uhoooooo!!!!

Vera was right - Limp Bizkit is not about words and music it's about beat and the crazy wave they send that the whole Fan Zone, including me, was jumping like crazy! They are like drums of ancient priests that one just can't stand still. Very beasty feeling! ;)

Oh, David Bowie

One more ear/eye/brain candy from Beat Film Festival was a movie dedicated to David Bowie.
"David Bowie: Five Years" by Francis Whately shows Bowie's transformation from Ziggy Stardust to the serious soul singer, from Thin White Duke to the Major Tom and finally to the one of the most expansive singers EMI ever sign up a contract with. First of all the movie is indeed interesting for rare documentary videos and interviews with people who followed Bowie during all these years (priceless realisation how modest is one of my heros Brain Eno). It's so full of everything that only in the end I realized that I haven't seen real, contemporary Bowie in it, only his voice and old documentaries. It has so much drive in it - from music, from Bowie personality, from incredible beat of energy that makes you feel from complitely useless creature to the happiest person living on earth. I love the feeling when you actually want to applaud in the cinema.
Yet, apart from all above, there was one amazing thing that I never knew about Bowie. His work on Broadway in "The Elephant Man".
Oh, dear! "goosebumps" (from 5'14'')

"Turning"

I wish the trailer could show more so I won't have to struggle with words and just say - look at it, it's beautiful. But it's quite wordless and imageless compare to the movie itself. I assume even the authors couldn't put it together to present the movie short but fully. So I excuse myself for a struggle I gone through just to start writing about it.
There is nothing left to it when the light goes off and you hear the music for the first time. Don't know how will it be watching this movie at home, in the middle of the day, surrounded by real life. Probably then I would get less emotional and more reasonable and will take a closer look at the very important issues of gender and personal identity that are actually the main for all performance.
This documentary, music, women telling their stories bring up so many questions and ideas that no brain can handle immidiately. That's why on my part I just decide to focus on the beauty of visual representation. And it's a beauty indeed. The pictures of women were made by two cameras and immidiately projected on the screen. Anotony was performing the song that in his idea reflects the personality of a woman present on a stage. These images, changed and transformed by two angles camera work, together with music present heartstoping mosaic of pictures. Even though almost all of the heros telling the stories of their lives between music performances, you see them in a make up room, laughing and sleeping on the bus, when they are on the stage - there is nothing left of real life. There are only stories created of bodies, looks, music and lyric. This performance is such a strong visualisation of how the big issues of gender, rase, skin color, religion becomes equal against the fragile beauty of life and music.
"I wanted to matter. Because I was so judged one of the things I wanted the most was never to be judged. And I wanted to be beautiful."(c)

Oh, Amsterdam. Del 1.

Det var så många saker jag gillade om dig att det kommer att tar tid för mig att beskriva allt! Men jag kan kanske börja nu:
Den bästa engelska bokhandeln jag någonsin sett!!! "Ja, det är ett träd"

Tre eller fyra våningar! " mitt huvud snurrade med glädje jag inte minns hur många det var"

Jag kunde stanna där i timmar =)

Mer av Amsterdam att komma =>

PS Score, btw!

Just like heaven ;)

Jag var kanske... ok, nu jag måste tänka! Det var vinter 1999, så jag var...omg! Jag kan inte räkna! 13! jag var 13 år gammal.
Jag besökte mina farföräldrar och min farbror bestämde sig för att köra mig hem.
Jag vist det kommer att bli hell on earth eftersom det var söndag kl.18. I Moskva menar det - du kör 20 km per timmen och det kommer bli 3 timmar resa till hem med alla galna trafikstoppar.
Men jag sade ingenting eftersom det är kanske kul att köra hem med min farbror, fästan jag var alltid lite rädd för honom. Jag vet inte varför - han är så kul och älskar mig som jag är hans dotter. Och, ja, retar han mig en hel del också.
I mitt av resan stoppade han bil och sade till mig att vänta på honom för en stund.
Jag var lite irriterad eftersom jag trodde mamma kommer att oroa sig, vi var riktig sena.
Men... När han kom tillbaka tappade han ett paket i mitt knä. Han hade sitt vanliga ansiktsuttryck som on han inte gjorde något annat än att ge mig ett glas vatten.
Det var glänsande silver CD-spelare.
Min första CD-spelare!

Det är självklart hur lycklig jag var! Jag kom hem, sprang förbi arga mamma och placerade CD in...
Och den var första låten! And it was just like heaven =D

Vad som helst!

Mitt liv är en konstig art-house film med ganska bra soundtrack!

Och vem som är bäst trummis?

Bara lyssna på rytmen...och försöka att fånga det! ;)

Muse – Starlight - [Live From Wembley Stadium]

Day 29: A song with your favourite guitar

Vad kan det vara? Den mest kända 3:40 ever (från början inte när det är en konsert version, här från 3:50)





Men självklart finns det massor av låtar jag älskar bara därför att av gitarr =D

Muse – Hysteria

Day 28: A song with your favourite singing

muhahaha, jag tror "favourite singing" menar - vocal del?
Om "ja", då...
"Microcuts" av Muse! Därför att det är sååå mycket om hans röst i den här låten! Det finns nästan ingen musik där. Och hans röst är så hög som det är ett djur sjunger!

Day 27: Favourite song from the movie

Detta är den diagnos =)



Ska jag säga att jag var "in love" med Patrick Swayze?
