if only fabien baron had wanted to tell a story. if only alexander skarsgård had another gaze than blue steel. if only suvi koponen had been given something to do. if only there was meaning to be found in these nine minutes and fifty-five seconds. if only there was a begining, middle and end, even if not necessarily in that order. if only there was something a normal human being could, if not recognize, at least aspire to. if only the chapter headings indicated something, anything. if only all this sublime beauty hadn’t been wasted, this might have been a truly great film…

As such objects of beauty must be, the music video for Anthony and The Johnsons’s Cut The World featuring Willem Dafoe, Marina Abramović, and Carice van Houten is presented to you without commentary, wit or judgment. enjoy.

Kumbh Mela कुम्भ मेला is a mass Hindu pilgrimage in which Hindus gather at the Ganges river. The normal Kumbh Mela is celebrated every 3 years, the Ardh (half) Kumbh Mela is celebrated every six years at Haridwar and Prayag,the Purna (complete) Kumbh takes place every twelve years, at four places Prayag, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik). The Maha (great) Kumbh Mela which comes after 12 'Purna Kumbh Melas', or 144 years, is held at Prayag (also known as Allahabad).
The last Ardh Kumbh Mela was held over a period of 45 days beginning in January 2007, more than 70 million Hindu pilgrims took part in the Ardh Kumbh Mela at Allahabad, and on January 15, the most auspicious day of the festival of Makar Sankranti, more than 5 million participated. The previous Maha Kumbh Mela, held in 2001, was attended by around 60 million people, making it at the time the largest gathering anywhere in the world in recorded history.

what i mean by that salacious and bound-to-be controversial post title sure to send the taste police to my door is that i’m actully going to be out all day running errands working and i wanted to leave you with something that would satiate you for long enough to forget my lack of inane daily updates about our crazy, crazy world. and i found such treasure in luis bunuel’s 1967 masterpiece “belle de jour.” yes, the whole thing. as much as it awoke in me and my pants feelings heretofore unknown when it screened on television a bit too early for comfort during my pre-teenhood in france, it shall keep you busy during your lunch hour and more, if you’re lucky. so, in the words of another icon, lie back, get comfortable and here’s catherine deneuve in a role you’ll not soon forget…

that’s really dita on this monarchy track, so that’s nice. but nicer even is the wonderful “scenes from an electronic marriage” vibe from the music video directed by roy raz. love everything about it. that’s not an opinion, that’s an order.

i can’t think of a better way to sum up the way i strive to live my life than with those two little words. they are powerful, useful and, couple with discipline, the only way i know of to conquer fear. and to have garnered an eloquent supporter in ice-t doesn’t hurt. so fuck it, have a fantastic week!
