E.T. Explore Me, Exchange Radical Moments, Tim Burton, Breakbot, Arctic Surf Film, MGMT, Yang Yi, Memory Tapes, The Birth of Big Air, History of Art



Probably my favorite band on this moment, E.T. Explore Me are a Dutch noisy trio from Haarlem in the North Holland, they make the perfect combination of garage punk, Psychobilly with a organ fuzz madness, i would say considering the state of music at this moment that they are absolutely refreshing, unique and to find anything remote as good can only be the Canadians "We Are Wolves" second album "Total Magique" .



Not only they are exceptional awesome musician but great entertainers and they love to have their audience really close, last weekend in the beeckestijn pop they played on the grass and left the stage for anyone who felt like some head banger.
On the big stage really close was hollywood star Juliette Lewis but no one moved one inch from what was happening on the smallest stage of the all the festival, like always you can see Joost Varkevisser flying around with his Acetone organ for the delight of the fans that can play some notes at the same time, Jeroen Kruijs on drums is like a very oiled machine and there are never dol moments, Jeroen Blijleve gives soul to their music with impressive bass work, They will be big for sure.

It took me some time to post about them cause there was not so much material available that could sustain how good they are, they are extremely good but its their live performances that makes them unique. I guess with this stuff you can flavor it a little bit

Before seeing is village totaly submerge by the Yangtze River, Yang Yi from Kaixian in Chongqing Municipality captures the ruins of his village.

"I don’t intend to dwell on the meaning to be found in my photography. What is important for me is that I came from that town. It is about all that we have in common there: our accent, our spicy coriander, the nod we give each other, a friendly signal to say hello when we pass one another on the street, these streets that we have traveled alongside our ancestors, that have herded us along together… this series was created for all of that. It will be my personal memoir!"

" In 1985, at the tender age of 13, Mat Hoffman entered into the BMX circuit as an amateur. By 16, he had soared to the top of the sport. Throughout his prodigious career, Hoffman has ignored conventional limitations, instead focusing his efforts on the purity of the sport and the pursuit of "what's next." Academy Award® nominee Spike Jonze and extreme sport fanatic Johnny Knoxville, along with director Jeff Tremaine, showcase the inner workings and exploits of the man who gave birth to "Big Air."
