Were the 90's really better?

Unfortunately, I'm starting to join those who think so



It's time for the Percumajor

This one's not new or anything, but I looove it. The track naturally rocks like Major Lazer usually does, but I lobe the video as well. Something with the way it's playing all those super familiar images works for me, and also thanx to it I got acquainted with the original one, which has a mega GORGEOUS vid on youtube as well



Haraway's Manifestos

I'm working on this beautiful text now by Donna Haraway called "the Companion Species Manifesto". Haraway, who in the 80's wrote the groundbreaking "Cyborg Manifesto", became at the turn of the millennium more and more interested in animals, and especially dogs. At some point she writes: "I tell stories about stories, all the way down. Woof."
How wonderful!

Luckily, both these texts are available online for free: The Old School Cyborg Manifesto (with the kick-ass ending "I would rather be a cyborg than a goddess") is here and the newer "Companion Species" one is here.

I luv Zehava

thanx to a stupid reality TV shtick that's going on in Israel these days, I remembered what a huge singer she is.

AMAZING!

Go Roseanne!

A recent visit to one of the (boring) Based in Berlin exhibitions brought this video back to my mind. Israeli artist Asaf Koriat had a video there which was a split screen showing nine divas singing the American national anthem at the opening of the several super bowls. I found this as a good excuse to put one of my all time youtube favs here:



I'm still waiting for an opportunity to make the "Tikva" (Israel's anthem) version with Maya.

I say war

She was too fucking cool
