Time slip into Showa

Which one shall I spin today....


Let's start with Pedro&Capricious and their first Lp in 1972: Maeno Yoko really knows how to swing it...


Let's continue with Pedro&Capricious and their second album in 1973: the afro keeps growing...and Maeno Yoko has been replaced by Takahashi Mariko as the lead singer.


Los Indios are less funky in their tuxedos but they have a few good numbers behind their bow-ties.

The happy six and Miura Hitoshi, the invisible man on the cover.

This is way too much emotion for me this week, sayonara, matane!

Araki Nobuyoshi: Someone's wife


Araki's laugh was at the opening party of his latest exhibition in Aoyama: Someone's wife.




"Where do I sign?"





Leon Trotsky even showed up for the occasion: "Pubic hair of the world, unite!'







If you double click on this one, there is a chance it will get bigger. 

The exhibition will take place at the gallery Rat Hole in Aoyama until January, 19 2014.

Have a nice week-end.

Ze Instaweek


Christian Gailly est mort la semaine dernière. L'occasion de lire ou relire ses bouquins. Enfin on n'est pas obligé non plus. On a peut-être des choses plus importantes à faire: cirer ses chaussures, mater internet ou bien aller faire les courses pour le dîner de ce soir ou justement on a invité des amis. Enfin des amis, c'est vite écrit, des connaissances, déjà ça s'écrit moins rapidement, il y a davantage de lettres. Des cons de naissance. Oh la! Quel raccourci !  Comme vous y allez! lecteur ou lectrice incontinente, impertinente et impatiente. Bon, c'est vrai que le rapprochement est tentant en même temps. Un calembour est si vite arriver. Il se peut même qu'un jeu de mot en cache un autre. Méfions-nous, enfin vous surtout, moi je suis à l'abri, je suis l'écrivain omniscient qui vous mène par le bout de ce que vous voudrez.  Tant et plus que le temps passe et voilà déjà une semaine de foutue en l'air. Bon tant pis, on lira ce brave Gailly une autre semaine...
