I learned what a Bloc is...



In England it's what they call a case of beer! I won't be going into details about what a bloc party is then. Last monday the band with that name delivered a great performance! It was a f'in great gig!

The joys of attending concerts are just unique. Everyone is there for the same reason, beer can fall on us but we won't really mind, there's a lot of pushing, pulling, jumping, grabbing, eyes-closed head banging, sweat, yelling... and all thos can be obtained fora a fair price at a Bloc Party concert. Just listening to the albums can give a glimpse of what it can be like to be in that crowd. I did get some nasty evil looks fromtrying to stay in the front (as in the 3rd row), but it's part of the game.

Oh, the video is here. The sound is much better than the film, it was a bit hard to keep steady in the crowd.

The upcoming gigs I am attending are totally different though, The Romeros, Bat for Lashes and The Dø. Everybody's welcome to join, you just have to be in Munich at the right date and time.

my bathroom needs pixels


CPLUV never ceases to amaze me with the best design ideas collected from all over the world.

The following reference just opened my eyes to a whole other application of pixel art!

Absolutely brilliant! I'd love to take my morning (afternoon and evening) showers in a place with pieces of art like those!


cheers,
