Kultura

Frank London was generous enough to play a show for my band the other night!

Last night, Orchestra Baobab from Senegal played a free concert in Battery Park City. It was a part of a series paid for by American Express.

Saturday was the annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade.

Werner Herzog's new film from Antarctica is stunningly beautiful.

Restaurant Florent, open non-stop in the meatpacking district of New York since the 80s--back before the expensive shops, apartments, and restaurants, before the Apple store; back when it was just meatpacking during the day and, er, meatpacking at night in the form of transhookers--is closing. Florent and company are going through the 5 stages of loss, one week at a time until it finally closes on Gay Pride Day.

I only see things when they move.

Roman "Poljubac" Gordane Ćirjanić (nagrada Žensko pero) bez problema može da zameni svoje autorstvo sa bilo kojom autorkom sa bilborda, iz kuhinje ili sa jogurtom. Ovakav roman treba da nas zabrine zbog trivijalizacije ženskog pisma, odnosno neverovatne kritičke mrene bar dva žirija...

Gravitacija i Sveti duh – 1. deo

If anyone likes Indonesian music, Bryce is playing a great show of it on WFMU right now. www.wfmu.org to stream it live. Until 3:00, New York time. After that, the show will be archived.

Here is the playlist.

For anyone who doesn't know, WFMU is a great free-form radio station. It is listener-sponsored, which means no advertisements. Lots of great and varied programming, with shows archived for the past several years. Bryce is one of my favorite DJs.

Krvava bajka

Desanka Maksimovic

Bilo je to u nekoj zemlji seljaka
na brdovitom balkanu,
umrla je mucenickom smrcu
ceta djaka
u jednom danu.

Iste su godine
svi bili rodjeni,
isti su im tekli skolski dani,
na iste svecanosti
zajedno su vodjeni,
od istih bolesti svi pelcovani,
i svi umrli u istom danu.

Bilo je to u nekoj zemlji seljaka
na brdovitom Balkanu,
umrla je mucenickom smrcu
ceta djaka
