watch: mayer hawthorne, holly miranda, the xx, dam funk and many more

Just found some really nice videos from the last Other Music & Dig For Fire´s SXSW Lawn Party, which took place in March in Austin on the occasion of the music and media conference SXSW. Dig for fire was filming the festival and you can see all the sunny performances here.
Really enjoyed the mind blowing performance by Holly Miranda and the show by my favourite Mayer Hawthorne!

The eVe in me.. is red

Just came back from my second little trip to london. No need to explain how cool this city is! There´s so much to do and see that you actually never see enough and allways wanna come back to get more of the city´s vibe! In other words you can always find whatever you like…

…sometimes you can even find out what colour the eVe in you has!

One thing I really wanted to do is going to the Tate Modern once again to see this one painting again. I mean I never really got these people who would say something like “standing in front of this abstract expressionistic piece made me feel the pain of human…..”, but honestly last time I was standing in front of this large red painting with that vertical purple zip on the side I was just overwhelmed by the emotional effect it had on me. In the famous words of Walter Benjamin I could feel “the here and now of the art work”, which constitutes its “aura”. And no technical reproduction like a smaller poster would be like this original. So this time I was of course checking the name of this favourite of mine and you already know it. This painting´s title by American painter Barnett Newman is “eve”

Even though it´s sooo not the same to see it on a little screen in a small format, you can check it out here:

And for those who are still reading and who must have enough of red I have  a beautiful musical complementary colour:
