Switzerland has its hidden treasures and this one is called Pippilotti Rist, sculptor, photographer and filmmaker. Recently she gave a "red place" (living red carpet) to St. Gallen, a so relooked city in a hidden corner of Switzerland, near the austrian frontier.
On rebell.tv (photo) she said that people of this region (her native country) always had been more stylish than those suiss guys (and girls) who stared at Zurich or Vienna or Munich to get their inspiration.
Mods ans Punks or simply the latest records from London arrived earlier in St. Gallen than elsewhere on the continent. Must be a nice place ... so international and so "back of the hand" (Rist translated).

"You would not have me to pay, juste for a little ride, two stops", the bus driver agreed silently and wasn't making any replies no more, whilest the young man felt obliged to entertain the driver with the latest news.
He really got off the bus at the second stop, but some seconds later I saw him studying the timetable, to look for another two stops ride, I suppose.

One of my favorite musiciens (Ken Vandermark) dedicating a tune to one of my favorite filmmakers (John Cassavetes), a strange lullaby, very smooth and unlike to both of them.
Perhaps I like it for that.
