Os Mutantes - Eu descobri Julien Gracq, Un balcon en forêt, Corti, 1958 Julien Gracq, Un balcon en forêt Corti, 1958 1939, ce sont les premiers mois de ce que l’on appellera la drôle de guerre. Période de suspens, d’attente particulièrement dans les Ardennes où l’aspirant Grange a pour mission d’arrêter les blindés allemands si une attaque se produisait. A la fois île déserte et avant-poste sur le front de la Meuse où montent des signes inquiétants. Un souvenir de l’auteur dans Carnets du grand chemin : Lorsque nous partîmes en mai 1940 pour la Hollande — une des pièces maîtresses dans la stratégie du général Gamelin — nous débarquâmes du train le 13 dans le soir avancé à proximité de St-Nicolas d’Anvers et nous passâmes le reste de la nuit sur l’herbe du bas-côté de la route. Dans la solitude du Balcon en forêt, un chemin s’offre à Grange comme un appel obsédant (...) suspendu sur une absence sans fond. Ce fut vers la fin de décembre que la première neige tomba sur l’Ardenne. Ils fumèrent un moment en silence.

The 50 Greatest Jazz Albums…Ever At the end of any year it’s a great time to look back and so we’ve decided to attempt to come up with a definitive list of the 50 Greatest Jazz Albums of all time. Impossible, you are probably thinking, and it probably is, but rather than just thinking of our favourites we decided to take a good look through the web to see what other lists there are and combine our findings. As usual we expect many of you to disagree, sometimes strongly, but as usual we will love hearing from you. It took us several days of searching but here it is, the 50 greatest… 50.

Helen Levitt (August 31, 1913 – March 29, 2009)[1][2] was an American photographer. She was particularly noted for "street photography" around New York City, and has been called "the most celebrated and least known photographer of her time. Biography[edit] Levitt grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY. She associated with Walker Evans in 1938-39. In 1959 and 1960, Levitt received two Guggenheim Foundation grants to take color photographs on the streets of New York, and she returned to still photography.[4] In 1965 she published her first major collection, A Way of Seeing.[8] Much of her work in color from the 1960s was stolen in a 1970 burglary of her East 13th Street apartment. She lived in New York City and remained active as a photographer for nearly 70 years. Published collections of Levitt's photographs[edit] Levitt, Helen; Agee, James (1989) [1965].

Musicovery Android RoboSpice with GoogleHttpClient In this post we will examine an example app in which we make a RoboSpice request using GoogleHttpClient. The github repo is here. Dependencies First, we need to grab the RoboSpice dependency JARs from the repository repo. git clone Inside of 1.4.11/robospice-google-http-client are the JARs we need to include in the project. We will also need one JAR from the Google-Http-Lib source. Classes We are going to create a few files: BaseSpiceActivity import com.octo.android.robospice.JacksonGoogleHttpClientSpiceService; import com.octo.android.robospice.SpiceManager; public class BaseSpiceActivity extends Activity { private SpiceManager spiceManager = new SpiceManager(JacksonGoogleHttpClientSpiceService.class); @Override protected void onStart() { spiceManager.start(this); super.onStart(); } @Override protected void onStop() { spiceManager.shouldStop(); super.onStop(); } protected SpiceManager getSpiceManager() { return spiceManager; } } Fin

My Morning Jacket - Victory Dance This is What Michael Jackson Sounds Like in Quechua Even the youngs think Quechua is cool. After the language was translated for a book, a song, and given a shoutout by a fútbolero, we started thinking that Quechua was having a sort of moment. Perhaps the biggest sign of this is that a 14-year-old girl named Renata Flores sang a Quechua version of Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel.” The Ayacuchana sings the tune at the Vilcashuamán ruins, as guitars and a Peruvian cajón play. According to La Republica, the video is part of the Asociación Cultural SURCA, which works to get the youth to learn the importance of Quechua.
