no sir, not dancing today.

i went with my friend dave to phonica [http://www.phonicarecords.co.uk/] and i bought a great vinyl: windowlicker by aphex twin [that one posted one week ago].

three days ago i went to the TATE gallery and i couldn't imagine i was able to see my favourite artist: dan flavin.

his minimalistic way of expressing art was made by linking some neon-lights in order to obtain efxs and in meantime, keep people think about how essential are our lives.

i saw just two of his masterpiece but i was lucky cos there were my favourite ones:

a monument for v. tatlin is probably the most famous favlin's work.
it was dedicated to constructivist sculptor vladimir tatlin and it's one of his greatest minimalistic work: you can see b&w game between neon-lights and the background.

this work has got no title but it's amazing how favlin's lights can enlight all the wall with his fulfilled colours.

another great artist who i'd like to see at tate gallery was niki de saint phalle:

shooting picture could be the perfect assembly between spacialism's way of cutting the canvas and pollock's uses of the brushes.

and i could mention a lot of artists but someone suggest me about not being bored and so...
due to the impossibility to make photos on tate, i just post some pics from the 4th floor of it:

millenium bridge, so fuckin' great.

tate modern gallery.

instanbul.

i'm joking [so fuckin stupid!], that's the thames.

me on the couch.

so much wine probably.

me and dave at london's carnival.

ok.. music.
i'm tired and i don't want to talk about artists but i've bought last wolf mother's album which is so great, an amazing mix of emotional musical rescues with the latest rock avant garde.
this one will be my favourite album for the month, let's take a listen to it.
ah, rmxes from mstrkrft and the avalanches.
