Heraldic


What would be on your coat of arms? I am thinking about things like a library ticket and a piece of jigsaw flying above a golden barley-field or a cookie-cutter and a digital camera on the tips of the southern Alps...
Mine most certainly would display a cat, an angel with sword, a phoenix of course and somewhere in the background the Pluto...
How would our blog's coat of arms look like?

Bob Fosse

The last dance-post for a while, I promise. I just cannot resist to include my all-time favourite (I cannot imagine I did not start with him...)

So, this is very different from what I have showed you: this is musical theater! Nanaimo and Tarelle already had the chance to see my favourite "All that jazz" but I am sure that you have seen other coreographies from him, but did not know it was his (Chicago? Cabaret? Sweet Charity?) The bit that I am showing you is from this latter, where you can see all his genius: at first instant it does not even look like dancing... But it definitely is, and also what I find the sexiest dance ever. Just some subtle movements, or sometimes even the same pose, held for a minute: it takes a great dancer to do it right! The result is highly erotic, without any trace of being vulgar (see any chosen rap-video for the contrast).



This is said to be the direct precedent to this famous number in "Cabaret": I hope you like it!

Musical update and "Chanson de Satie"

A few weeks ago my favourite game has been taken away: that is our "music provider", also featuring the musical links to the right..."working on new tools that will implement the environment for artists and their producers" does not sound good to me. I am guessing that we can say goodbye to that lovely webpage (containing loads of Hungarian songs as it was a French-Hungarian invention.)

All what's left to us is this , a meager substitution but all that is available. You do not need a login, just the newest Flash version and a click on the text "all uploaded files" in the upper-right corner to get access to the (rather slow) alphabetical list. And then you can post stuff like this:

The other thing I wanted to share with you is a song and a singer I have discovered recently (we have seen a small animation with this music at a short-film festival with tarelle) and I find it haunting. You can listen to it on a fellow blogspot page, on the top. Arthur H has a calming-deep voice and sings jazzy stuff. Also comes handy if you want to cut your veins. Enjoy!
