In vijf bioscoopzalen vindt de avant-premièrevertoning plaats van de nieuwe succesrijke dertiendelige reeks van ‘FC De Kampioenen’ op zondagnamiddag 6 december in Kinepolis.

Je kan alvast genieten van pittige dialogen met veel humor, de ‘trouw’ van Balthazar Boma met zijn nieuwe vamp, de onhandigheden van Markske en nog veel meer, alles gegoten in een vlot  verhaal met misverstanden die tot komische confrontaties leiden.

Immers in deze Kampioenenreeks zit er ook een aflevering, waarin DDT terug opduikt. Samen met Fernand beraamt hij weer een plan om de ploeg een hak te zetten. Maar daarover mogen we nog niks vertellen.

Voorstellingen op zondag 6 december zijn gepland om 14u30, 14u45, 15u, 15u15 en 15u30.

Kaarten kan je reeds in voorverkoop verkrijgen op de website.

Poucas as vezes um remix consegue ser melhor que o original. Na verdade, temos uma desculpa para esse caso. O remix de Radar (re-remixado pelos próprios criadores da versão original, os tais Bloodshy & Avant) é na verdade a versão idealizada para a música, obviamente barrada pelo “Team Britney” (seu grupo de executivos que tomam todas as decisões para ela).

Um som mais gritante, urgente, menos infantil e muito mais “in your face”, o “remix” supera de longe o original.

Para ficar melhor ainda, bastava uma edição, mas na verdade, não tenho muito o que reclamar do que já é um dos meus remixes favoritos do ano.

Os ótimos Bloodshy & Avant são também conhecidos pela banda “Miike Snow”, uma das minhas favoritas do ano, a qual falarei mais tarde sobre.

A-HA!!!

Back on my Sun City Girls trip.  Here are 2 bootleg recordings from the Charles Gocher memorial tour.
Alan and Rick went round the States following Charlies demise and played a bunch of acoustic Girls songs and during each show the scattered a little bit of Charlies ashes into the audience.  It seems sort of fitting in a way that a man so in tune with collective consciousness should eventually be returned to the masses.

Anyways, 2 boots here:
The first one was recorded in New York and is of much better quality.  They do a couple of Charlies “poems” (AKA texts from the Gocher Grimoir) and have quite a lot of banter with the audience as well which I really enjoy, I also particularly enjoyed Alans sly dig at the noise scene. 
The second one is from their New Orleans show and while it is great for any Girls fan its not as immediately arresting as the NYC recording, having said that the NYC recording is probably my favorite boot of all time from any band so its not really a fair comparison I guess!  Nonetheless it provides good listening and is definitely worth having.

And just a reminder there was whole bunch of other SCG records posted ages ago on here if you missed that. Scroll down/back for the goodies I guess…

OK I’m done, have a nice day/month/year/life (delete as applicable.)  linx are belowwwww……

L’única cosa que m’ha distret aquests díes és l’aquarel.la com tots sabeu, i properament us mostraré alguna cosa. Però primer una mica de tonteries. Com a exemple les tonteries que es poden arribar a sentir al tren de viatge a Lleida. No podrien trobar-se conversant dos professors universitaris? O dos físics? Perquè sempre han de ser converses que et fiquen de pollegura? Tots em sofert aquesta turtura psicològica algún cop, i aprenem a no escoltar-ho. Però quan vas en companyia, la truita es gira i n’ets tu el que acaba rient últim. Així és, i per que sempre he pensat igual que en Juan Berrio, i a mode d’homenatge -http://juanberriofrases.blogspot.com/ -dediquem avui un moment a pensar en aquesta gent tant brillant i profunda.
Bon viatge. (sobretot l’Al, que intenta estudiar)

We suspect this car needs no introduction, so we’re not going to bother reinventing the wheel, although the uninitiated can take a quick look here and drool over some photos of a show car here (factoid: three live in the United States, apparently). We may do a proper feature someday, a la the BMW E9. Certainly, it is worthy of one.

This particular car lives in Canada. The owner notes:

In Canada we have a rule that allows us to import any car that is 15 years old or older into the country without having to meet the requirements that all new cars must meet. The car just has to meet basic safety requirements and then it can be registered in Canada. I believe there are about 3 of these in Canada now and I’m sure more will be coming considering the popularity.

Maybe we’ll see one up on BaT one of these days (BaT Exclusive: Offered for sale is this incredibly rare import; fewer than ten exist in North America…).

  Chegou aos cinemas no sudeste do pais no ultimo dia 30 de outubro o filme Coco Avant Chanel ou Coco Antes de Chanel, pra quem prefere titulos traduzidos. O filme tem a inteção de apresentar o passado que antecede os dias de glamur e fama da designer, conta como foram seus primeiros dias após a perda da sua mãe, sua tentativa sem sucesso em ser cantora e lógico seus romances.

O longa já rolou pela europa e segundo Noemia Ramuz Martins “O filme mostra muito pouco de quem realmente foi Coco, infelizmente não posso dizer que foi um dos melhores filmes|biografia que já vi”. Por enquanto, nós temos que esperar enquanto o longa não chega à Recife, espero em breve poder indicar sallas dos cinemas mais proximos, para que nós possamos chegar a nossas proprias conclusões.

Arrivé au pied du plan d’eau aux dosses, l ‘énigme du jour était de faire le choix de l’aile par une tram orientée au NW mais bien irrégulière de 13 à 30 noeuds , fond de vent à + de 20 noeuds  : la 10 va être difficile à manager dans 30 noeuds et la 6 galère dans les moles.

Allez ne nous laissons pas abattre, calamarkite ne va pas prendre de risques et  décide de partir en 6 car le décollage de notre collègue catalan du sud montre qu’ à 25 m il y a vraiment beaucoup d”air. La température extérieure est fraîchounette et les riders ne sont pas très réchauffés. Prêt à partir, le vent tombe …et donc en 6  inutile d’ y aller car ça va être la misère. N’insistant pas Calamarkite rentre au shop et soumet son problème … En fait il me manquait une 8 … mais très honnêtement le magicien jerem m’indique qu’il est capable de transformer ma 10 en 8. Un coup de baguette magique plus loin et 1 noeuds en plus sur les avants, ça devrait suffire pour incliner l’aile, lui laisser ainsi suffisamment de depower dans le trim jusqu’ à 35 noeuds … La prochaine fois, je serai plus à même de coller la 10 par 25 noeuds, d’autant que la majeure partie des riders du spot avaient 9 et certains 10… Vraiment une histoire de noeuds …

Conclusion du jour, dans le doute Calamar,  joue sur les noeuds (en tête …)  et surtout fait comme les autres !

So long distance + long term relationships do work! Long distance as California to Alabama.  Long term as in 6 years? I believe. Love conquerers all right?

Meet Jenefel and Quentin. Jenefel’s (pronounced jen-uh-full) quite the comedian. Quentin’s (pronounced like Tarantino’s first name) one of those really nice people with out a single bone of malice in their whole entire body. It was a beautiful church wedding, and quite frankly an action packed day.

True story. I was shooting the shoes in the house, and the mother of the bride who’s quite a joker herself, told me I should shoot the shoes on the stove and in the microwave.  I replied by laughing nervously, because I wasn’t sure if she was serious or not. But then I thought to myself, maybe that might be a cool shot. I didn’t end up doing it because I thought the shot below was really really good already.

Um…there was this really awkward looking mannequin outside the house. So I decided to make it look even more awkward by putting shoes on it. But it’s so cool.

Kids as adorable as these make any wedding a lot more fun.

Let me tell you the story of the shot below. The make-up-brushes and compacts had a century long feud, and one day they decided to have one final battle on the land of the towel.  Bobby pins and nail polish were hurled at their opposing enemies for hours and hours.  This is what remains of the battlefield.

Putting the dress on can be a very, very exciting event.

This of course, is the lovely bride Jenefel

Now on to the gentlemen. This isn’t the groom, but I just like this photo because it’s a very interesting photo to say the least. Haha. It’s probably not what you probably think it is.

This is the groom, Quentin.  The jolly chap.

i first declared my love for this lil miss back in july and since then she’s been blowing up all over the shop.

her myspace has finally got two original tracks – ‘femme fatale’ and ‘lolita’ – and you can catch her pretty face in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sorta way in uffie’s ‘pop the glock’ vid.

and while i wasn’t all that fond of her cover of ellie goulding’s ‘wish i stayed’, there’s no doubt in my mind that this kid is going to be big.

Quite some time ago I was walking south of Market Street in San Francisco when I spotted this car.  I did some research and to the best of my knowledge this is a 1955 Citroen traction avant 4 door sedan.  I think that means front wheel drive in French.  The car is a classic and may be featured in a wedding or other event.  It surely is a stately looking automobile.
