Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam
Drug consumption remains a hot topic, whether we’re talking about governments trying to suppress that consumption or advocates of the legalisation of drug use. While some countries like the United States strive to discourage the use of drugs, and other countries try to cut production, the drug cartels continue generating millions of dollars and are often connected in some way to the governments of these same countries. The idea of legalising drugs frightens Western governments for a variety of reasons, one of which is because to do so could grant drug-producing countries like Colombia or Peru powerful economies, catapulting them into developed-country status. We should remember the opium wars of the late nineteenth century as an example of the way governments’ policies on drugs have evolved over time. The many stories about LSD in the 60´s, the tradition of the Beat poets, The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley and Space Rock, all form part of an ongoing discourse between art culture and drug use. But as well as inspiring revelations, drugs can be blamed for stifling opportunity and action: Much has been said about the fact that an entire generation in the 60s was made too numb by LSD to create a real revolution. On a more frivolous note, the Cannabis Cup is back this year, which is great news for all fans of high quality marijuana. This event started back in 1987, making this the 24th edition. It will be held, as always, in the Dutch capital, Amsterdam, where laws regarding drug use are more flexible than in most other places. Founded by Steven Hager, the Cannabis Cup is a...Vive Berlin

Fleet Foxes concert in Vienna
To some of us it seems unbelievable , but twenty years ago, who was going to say that the city of Seattle, conquered the world musically through a series of memorable band whose sound coined a term on its own, “grunge” which also served loosely to describe, or label, a lifestyle which identified all those angry and uprooted youngsters who had been excluded from the promises of the American Dream due to the antisocial policy of the U.S. administration since the election of Ronald Reagan as president. Coinciding with the arrival to office of Bill Clinton in 1992 and the amazing and huge commercial success of these groups flagged Pearl Jam and, above all, Nirvana, along with the sad and tragic suicide little less than advertised of Nirvan´s lead singer, Kurt Cobain, and the consequent disappearance of the band after just barely five albums that made them one of the great legends of grunge rock a movement which immediately was absorbed and swallowed by the capitalist society of show biz, without a doubt one of the reasons for the suicide of Cobain who saw with astonishment and awe the irreversibility of this process that already begun during his time in the band Grunge emerged from the margins, the anguish and anger, collecting a brilliant musical heritage that was so isolated from the wasteland of tacky and stifling dominant stadium rock in the eighties when it came to sales success and media coverage. Dissidents Americans like Big Black, Husker Du, Black Flag, REM, Sonic Youth or the Pixies, among others put dirty rock guitars back on the map along with...
21 Experimental Film Festival in Madrid
We are witnessing the decline of all common media. No, television radio, telecommunications and film are not going to disappear, it just happens that today we have more technology available that allows us to write, record and reproduce information on the web and other types of media. And due to that some governments are concerned about social media and its effects and possibilities. There is a phenomenon in social networks as well as the means of transmission of information via internet, be it YouTube or any other application to play music which should have us thinking about this amazing change of such sudden and unexpected appearance. The resolution of what we received today on our monitors are not necessarily appropriate, but what is the proper resolution? Sure, the resolution of a vinyl recording is not the same to the resolution of an mp3, of course, this has been discussed before. But what happens with image? Filming does only belong to a larger public domain, well, we do not necessarily agree because not everyone has access to a video camera. Nowadays mobile phones have a whole lot of applications to shoot video at different resolutions and formats, generate effects, edit and other interesting options to let your movie creative passion break out Perhaps an image of democracy is defined by the same texture, the quality of its display, its same mistakes. We do not talk so vividly when creating a video or following the editing processes, so let´s talk about the image error, the lack of light, wrong angles and lack of a provision of what is and what is...Sainsbury´s London
