SHAME

Tuesday, February 28, 2012

I saw Steve McQueen’s new film, Shame over the weekend. The performances by the lead actors, Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan are quite sensational.

MONDAY MUSIC: GONJASUFI

Monday, February 27, 2012

STORE OF THE MONTH: FOYLES / LONDON

Friday, February 24, 2012

When I was a student at art school in London, Foyles bookstore used to be a regular spot to hit for research, general browsing or simply to escape afternoon rains.

WHOSE IS THIS SONG?

Whoever travelled the balkan region with backpack and sleeping bag might very well have met the locals and encountered the people’s love for traditional songs.
