I always wished I got to see this band play live, first heard about them in 2013 but feels like they disbanded / disappeared shortly after they were written about. www.theculturist.com/home/random-...

Not much personal insight, but recall this from 2012, maybe you’ve already seen this by now.
Thank god for blogs. Now feels more urgent than ever to find better ways to have info like this preserved / archived. theaudiotopia.blogspot.com/2012/03/osir...

You should consider screening at NYUAD - it is set in New York 2022. I’m sure lots to unpack from it. Hopefully we can chat night of Koyaanisqatsi.

I’ve never seen it as well. Just hope it will be a good screening experience (not attended anything in that auditorium before).

The new restoration is also to mark the 40th anniv. of the film which premiered last night at Toronto Film Festival.
Dubai, don’t miss this. A perfect concert film.

I’ve not been hearing good things about HF lately, so not been keen to follow / support what he does.

Also this in Chelsea Plaza Hotel across the road from Ravi. Goan.

Al Mallah, good for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Longish walk (in this heat?), Mannaland (Korean food).

Probably too hot to see it during the day now. I know someone that visited last week and she said it was very hot and felt bad for the security man stationed there.

Think the Olafur Eliasson installation is all the rage now.

The simple pleasure and joy of having first rate theatres just walking distance from where you live / work is something that sadly my part of the world will never ever be able to replicate.

It’s been great to see a cinemas in few cities doing a Sakamoto fest, sad to be missing them. You’re in the right city when it comes to cinemas!!!
