Review + more Blarb

Went to a short play earlier this evening. One word: Brilliant! As mentioned, it was very much inspired by Kafka’s ‘Metamorphosis’. The performance was unexpected and I surprise myself by laughing through most of the play. Cheeky at some point, even reminded me of my random moments with my dad (don’t ask). I read ‘Metamorphosis’ quite some time ago but I remembered the events in the story rather vividly. I suppose if you compare the two, turning into a man isn’t as scary compared to Kafka’s version (I’m trying not to spoil the story, so better read it soon). Unless of course, you despise men in general. You’d probably end up hating yourself and your transformation. No, feminists need not worry (or be too defensive about this) because I’m not talking about you or lesbians. Believe it or not, not all lesbians and feminists hate men. Not to mention, I know of some male friends who are avid feminist supporters. ‘Some’ being the keyword to highlight here. In my personal opinion, some men like to think that they are persecuted upon. Mostly straight men. I was once told that at one point, there were twice as many women than there are men. On top of the fact that in every group of 10 men, one of them is gay. I have no idea what the ratio or the specifics are now but I’ve constantly been told that there are statistically more women in the world as time progresses. Like I mentioned before, I have no idea how real these so called ‘statements’ are.

Nevertheless, let’s just say (hyperthetically speaking, of course) that instead of 2:1 ratio, it is now 3:1 and for every group of 10 men, two of them are gay(one out and proud, the other closeted). Not to mention that more and more women are becoming feminists so for every 3 women, two of them are feminists. No wonder they feel persecuted, population of straight men are slowly decreasing. More women are demanding equal rights to everything and anything that was once male territory. Also keep in mind that more women are buying the idea of bisexuality when in comes to choosing partners as compared to hardcore straight men who would rather bang plastic blow up doll than another man. It might be possible that out of 3 women (maybe), there is equally a straight, a bisexual and a lesbian. Plus, I haven’t even mentioned the FTM and MTF community. Oh dear, straight men are kind of loosing the odds, aren’t they?

Oh well these are just figures in my head. Good gawd, the stats I’ve just made up are slowly killing my braincells. Did I mention that I hate numbers and how I see them as pictures instead? I do, very much so. Here I am, trying to kill my brain by over thinking. Yes, I’ve only just realised that I wrote a paragraph of a purely circumstantial situation that was inspired by the words ‘what if?!’. I need a life. Literally. A hobby. A pet. A ‘season’ to keep me from thinking this much. “秋の彼女募集中”  That’s probably what I need. If you get this, you can laugh. If you don’t, well tough. I know damn well that online translators will prolly come up with some gibberish. Gawd, I sound evil. :P

Blarb (yet again)

Love the track, love the band(*Edit: Arcade Fire, silly me!). Most of all, love the interactive site even more! Did a short review on this site a while back when I was doing a Web Design module. I thought it was an ingenius way of promoting the album, ‘Neon Bible’ being the name of the album. Never a dull moment with the site and the objective of the site was pretty straightforward. The video above was shot just before the band was due to play a gig in Paris. It gives a whole new meaning to ‘band in a box’ (in this case elevator). Shot by director Vincent Moon, creator of La Blogotheque which showcases all sorts of bands and artists doing a live spontaneous performance in random places.

Beirut’s second album was shot entirely using this method and in the spirit of being ‘indie’, I thought it was brilliant. I guess if I travelled around Europe for a few years like Zach Condon did, I’d prolly being a different person altogether. In which case, seems like a fantastic idea to me. Oh well, one step at a time eh. Enjoy the video and bloody buy the album instead of ripping it off the net. I bought this from Amazon.com while I was still in KL, it caused a small fortune (due to the outrageous shipping cost!!) but I must say it was worth every cent. I heard they did something in French as well (being Canadians, who wouldn’t) now I wish I understood French. Well, can’t have everything in one lifetime. Then again, possibly maybe. (That was a Bjork song, I know…so sue me)

These two doors and the stair are very real, suspended many feet up on the concrete walls of the Congress Hall in Biel, Switzerland.  Of course, those doors and the stairs weren’t in the original plans. The original architects weren’t as crazy as Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann, the artists who built this vertigo inducing piece.

I thought this was rather creative and very interesting indeed. Brilliant! Less is indeed more.
