Brazil sum up for me what we’ve lost with modern day World Cups/football

First WC I truly remember was 1982, back then, the Brazil team was full of players who I’d never get to see, based in Brazil

Now they play for Arsenal, Bournemouth etc & play same style as everyone else

🇯🇵 This is what Japan looked like in 1956 - only 11 years after the end of World War II. An incredible recovery which is so difficult to even imagine.

This week I came across the obituary of a photographer named David Plowden. I was unfamiliar with his work, but decided to browse his website after reading that he specialized in photos of trains and industry.

I’m not much of an art guy, but these photos are astonishing. (1/4)

Nobody breaks the fourth wall quite like Julie Andrews. One look at the camera and she can steal an entire scene.

In 1541, John Calvin, a Swiss Protestant Reformer banned all jewelry as frivolous & sinful displays of vanity. This left Swiss jewelers, goldsmith’s & craftsmen jobless, so they all shifted their skills to making watches, which were exempted from the ban because they were considered time-keeping devices , & not jewelry. And that is how the Swiss became the best watchmakers in the world

ジャコパスの教則ビデオの一コマ。おそらく世界一難しい"exercise"。ただこの教則ビデオにはジャコの全てが詰まっており、天才と言われている人間がいかに基礎を大切にしているか、またいかに基礎を演奏に繋げているのかがよくわかる。演奏家ならば一度は見るべき動画。

Richard Burton reciting this piece from Hamlet ("I have of late but wherefore I know not...") is definitely worth your attention.

Today marks 50 years since the world premiere of "Music for 18 Musicians" by Steve Reich on April 24, 1976, at New York’s Town Hall, performed by Steve Reich and Musicians.

a masterpiece of visual choreography that reminds us the world is just one big playground if you look at it right

One of the craziest dum solos I’ve ever seen…

No effects, no auto-tune, no complicated staging – just pure talent.

One of the best documentaries I have every watched. I strongly recommend it to all who love and appreciate Bach and beautiful music in general.

Stanley Jordan's version of Stairway to Heaven is literally mesmerising from the first note to the last one.

For all the advances in filmmaking, this Citizen Kane (1941) shot still feels untouchable.

12 Angry Men turns 69 today
During the “It’s the same knife!” moment, Henry Fonda briefly looks straight into the lens. People read this in many ways: a quiet plea for understanding, a question about what we’d do, or an invitation to stand with him, making us the 13th juror
