S’il découvre au milieu des années 2000 les joies émancipatrices de l’activisme DIY au sein de la communauté musicale de Bristol (Crescent, Movietone), le jeune homme s’épuise à force de trafiquer avec ferveur mais sans le sou ses comptines lo-fi dans l’ombre d’un micro-label branlant. Il retourne donc se réfugier dans sa région charentaise à la recherche d’un second souffle. Qu’il va trouver. Et qui le porte encore aujourd’hui. Plongé dans l’effervescence d’une scène locale florissante, le musicien y puise l’inspiration ailée et y dégote les acolytes idoines qui vont donner un éclat nouveau aux compositions de Fránçois & The Atlas Mountains. Les deux derniers albums en date du groupe – le recueilli  Plaine Inondable  (2009) suivi de l’épanoui  E Volo Love...

Macy's 4th of July Fireworks   at Hudson River, 7/4, 9 p.m. For all of us who still get that thrill out of seeing a beautiful display of fireworks -- and don't we all? -- there's still no beating the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks. Folks on rooftops and high-up apartments will want to face the Hudson River and let the beautiful pyrotechnic show take over the sky.  Katy Perry and Kenny Chesney will be the night's (human) entertainment. The best part? It's completely and totally free for everyone.   [via  Macy's ]    source http://www.papermag.com/2012/07/papermags_guide_to_july_4th_in.php

http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/travel/12choice.html?pagewanted=all If you wonder why this post..an article published in 2009!!!! ... Yes, I'm planning to travel to DUBAI in the next 6 month... and in the process of cleaning my studio,,, I'm going through the piles of newspaper i kept!

read the entire article finishing with:  I’ll lie on my deathbed regretting that I didn’t work harder and say everything I had to say, but I think what I’ll really wish is that I could have one more beer with Chris, another long talk with Megan, one last good hard laugh with Boyd.   Life is too short to be busy. http://opinionator.blogs. nytimes.com/2012/06/30/the- busy-trap/?utm_source= PolicyMic+Newsletter&utm_ campaign=e78e109bdc-New_ Newsletter2_29_2012&utm_ medium=email Illustration by Brecht Vandenbroucke

Jean Follett was one of the earliest artists to use "junk sculpture" in the fifties. A student of Hans Hofmann, she began to apply paint so thickly that her pictures looked like reliefs. She embedded "found" objects pieces of wood, metal, string, and heavier objects into black-and-white reliefs. With these she created surrealistic figure fetishes and machine-people such as "Lady With the Open-Door Stomach" (1956), and "Many Headed Creature" (1958). She was closely associated with Richard Stankiewicz......... http://www.askart.com/askart/f/jean_frances_follett/jean_frances_follett.aspx Born:   Saint Paul (Ramsey county, Minnesota, United States) http://www.getty.edu/vow/ULANFullDisplay?find=follett&role=&nation=&subjectid=500060631 took part in  Hans Hofmann and his students: MoMA exhibition 1963-1965 source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Hofmann
