Mariano Miranda
***

Described just with one word: amazing ... an amazing guitar player. Born in Argentina, obtaining a degree of 'Profesor Nacional de Musica", having won various awards, performing all over the world, currently living in Mallorca since 2002.

I came across his powerful and precise, yet very deep-hearted performance in the park of the Cathedral in Palma de Mallorca. It's been one of these wonderful days, when the world seems to be alright, when everything seems to be just the way it's supposed to be. The weather, the atmosphere, the people ... and Marianos 'singing guitar'. (thank you Sly!) I could have been standing there for hours ....

Pretty obscene, that it usually is not the talent artists get honoured by. It's just about their managers ...

stand-up comedy

Achmed the Dead Terrorist
by Jeff Dunham

Jeff Dunham - a brilliant ventriloquist and stand-up comedian. Achmed the Dead Terrorist is one of the puppets he performs his shows with. The puppet stock also includes a woozle named Peanut, a bitter old man named Walter and José Jalapeño - a talking jalapeño pepper on a stick.

His Achmed show was a strike of genius. Have been laughing my head off and thought I would share ;-)

music

Free Patri-Ation
by Patrice Bart-Williams

Another amazing album ... didn't know anything about this singer till about a year ago. He just kind of "happened to me"... It actually is pretty interesting since I was not such a fan of reggae music. Coming to think of it, I still am not, it's the lyrics that do get under your skin and in my case even further. 'Cause they sound honest...

But music in general is an extremely important part of my being. I am not a religious person per se. I do belive, yes I do, but without tags. And to me music is the church. But this subject - music - is much bigger that this. I would have to make a new website just to explain and that's not what I wanted to talk about. Not now.
So if you come by this album ( or any other one from Patrice), I can only recommend the investment.

movies

Zeitgeist - the movie
produced by Peter Joseph

This movie is another one of that kind, thats been made for one purpose - to make you think. At least. To at least consider the possibility, that what you see is not what you get. To open your eyes a bit wider. Hopefully it does.
Even so I can imagine lots of people dismissing this movie because of it's revolutionary statements and not even giving it a second thought. At this point I wonder what do these people think of the engenius caveman who came up with the wheel. Haven't that been revolutionary as well?

What's the movie actually about? Well, let me say it this way: Imagine you are reading a book. You got yourself through the page 27 and then someone comes along and tells you how the book ends. Got me? To give you at least some corner information, the author speaks of the "Legendary Myths"...
