"The year is 1987 and NASA launches the last of America's deep space probes. In a freak mishap Ranger 3 and its pilot, Captain William 'Buck' Rogers, are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life support systems and returns Buck Rogers to Earth 500 years later." The excerpt above is from the introduction of a classic TV program. In 1979 Universal Studios released a motion picture named " Buck Rogers in the 25th Century ", also it was a series TV based on the original movie released by NBC for two seasons between 1979 and 1981. As usual all this junk came over the "Deep South" to enliven the existence of millions of children whose, eventually, were victimised during the horrible, wasted, hated, and moreover unforgettable 80's. Gill Gerard played as Captain William Buck Rogers and Erin Gray as Colonel Wilma Deering. A lovely home-made character was the star of this sci-fi series (alright! some people may think...

Get Lonely I will rise up early and dress myself up nice and I will leave the house and check the deadlock twice. and I will find a crowd and blend in for a minute and I will try to find a little comfort in it. and I will get lonely and gasp for air. and send your name up from my lips like a signal flare. and I will go downtown, stand in the shadows of the buildings and button up my coat, trying to stay strong, spirit willing. and I will come back home, maybe call some friends, maybe paint some pictures, it all depends. and I will get lonely and gasp for air. and look up at the high windows, and see your face up there. by "mountain goats" from "get lonely

Nobuyoshi Araki: From A’s paradise . At the beginnig of the year I had the chance to wander around the Barbican Gallery to visit Nobuyoshi Araki's exhibition . It was plenty of very impressive photographies. The "polaroid room" was a small room which walls were covered from ceiling to floor by polaroid pictures Araki took alongside his creative life. No Japanese artist is as provocative or triggers such extreme reactions. People either admire Nobuyoshi Araki , or despise him. Like one of his characteristic bondage-nudes, the life’s work of this country’s best-known photographer is laid out unapologetically in "Araki Retrographs," a retrospective now on at Tokyo’s Hara Museum of Contemporary Art. by Monty di Pietro

Summer 2006 is now an annoying collection of memories gone by forever... the time to pick up dry, whithered leaves is here... time to be indoors with a good book (but fuck! I've gotta work...). In "the ballad of the sad cafe" , a tale of unrequited love, Miss Amelia, a spirited unconventional woman, runs a small-town store and, except for a marriage thet lasted just ten days, has always lived alone. Then Cousin Lymon appears from nowhere, a little strutting hunchback who steals Miss Amelia's heart. Together they transform the store into a lively, popular cafe. But when her rejected husband Marvin Macey returns, the result is a bizarre love triangle that brings with it violence, hatred and betrayal...

Hotel Lobby -1943- Edward Hopper (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967) was an American painter best remembered for his eerily realistic depictions of solitude in contemporary American life. Born in Nyack, New York, Hopper studied commercial art and painting in New York City. One of his teachers, artist Robert Henri, encouraged his students to use their art to "make a stir in the world." Henri, an influence on Hopper, motivated students to render realistic depictions of urban life. Henri's students, many of whom developed into important artists, became known as the Ashcan School of American art . Read more...

I do not have much to say. Just to all my dear anonymous. .. watch this video out!...and yes! they are even older than KISS , but if you dare to tell me that they do not sound good 'cause their widely known age I am not sorry to say that you have not got a remote idea about what music is (you might think that Bach's Brandenbourg concerts are a pile of crap as Bach (who is that chap?) is very very very very very old. Wake Up!!!!. Cream is one of the best rock bands ever. I'm sure any of all those new bands wish they had at least 10% of Cream's musicians skills. One of the things that rock is losing nowadays is that, the mastery on the instruments.

I was told they are satanic, the " demon " has got a dog's tongue instead of a human one, the man in the drums has signed a deal with the devil, KISS stands for Kids In Satanic Service, but all that is just a pile of crap. Yet KISS in not my favouirite band I like the design of the masks and the show, also some songs. And yes...someone told me ". ..no pal...KISS? they are too old .." mmm poor sap .

Somersault, man” Working proofs for Animal Locomotion Cyanotypes on cardboard mount Freeze Frame explores the famous photographs of animal and human locomotion that Muybridge made at the University of Pennsylvania between 1884 and 1887. For 100 years, historians considered these photographs to be scientific studies of the body in motion. The Museum’s collection of Muybridge’s working proofs, however, suggests a more complex interpretation. The proofs, never before exhibited, were recently rediscovered and are shown here for the first time. Visit the website

Sealand is with no doubt the smallest country in the world. During World War II, the United Kingdom decided to establish a number of military bases, the purpose of which was to defend England against German air raids. These sea forts housed enough troops to man and maintain artillery designed to shoot down German aircraft and missiles. They were situated along the east coast of England on the edge of the English territorial waters. One of these bases, consisting of concrete and steel construction, was the famous royal fort Roughs Tower situated slightly north of the estuary region of the Thames River. In contrast to the original plan to locate the tower within the sovereign territory of England, this fortress was situated at a distance of approximately 7 nautical miles from the coast, which is more than double the then applicable 3 mile range of territorial waters; to put it briefly, this island was situated in the international waters of the North Sea. After WWII ended, the troop...
