Savour the irony in David Lynch‘s proclamation: “what a great time to be alive if you love the theather of the absurd!” It tastes similar to another punchline by Woody Allen: “Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering – and it’s all over much too soon.” Both phrases...
One of the grooviest dudes on stage that I’ve even seen, spearheadin’ a band of 5 groovy bangers, has rocked the core of Utrecht’s Trivoli Vredenburg (a breathtaking venue!): BLANKO is an artist I’ve discovered quite recently, but for the last 3 months his 2 albums and his live...

“Lars Von Trier – genius or fraud?” – asks a May 2009 Guardian Arts Diary poll. Its subject is arguably world cinema’s most confrontational and polarizing figure, and the results: 60.3% genius, 39,7% fraud.
