Last week I made a quick, but positive decision ; to go and see Aaron and Joaquin in Madrid. Before 48 hours had passed I had rented an apartment in the building next to were they live.

It’s all on , a new challenge , new language , new inspiration.

Around the corner from the London Stock exchange.

Now that I have been out of any kind of academic structure for three months, I have started to reflect on questions that have appeared before, but were cast aside to make space for the prescribed set of tasks I had ahead of me in the college year. It takes space and distance from other demands to re-examine the way global systems operate , reflect on their current state, and ask “is this optimal?” , “would we design something like this from scratch”? . In international trade , the answer is a resounding NO.

Edith Piaff is one of those incredibly bold and incredibly transparent lyricists who entirely changed what I gravitate towards in music. I was listening to her album today.

intro / verse in english :

” NO , I DON’T REGRET ANYTHING , NOTHING AT ALL “

” WITH MY MEMORIES / I LIT UP THE FIRE/ I WILL START AGAIN “

THE CLOSEST THING WE HAVE TO FACT IS COMMON OPINION. EVERYTHING IS AN OPINION. THE WAY YOU DRESS IS AN OPINION. YOUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE YOUR OPINION. THE MUSIC YOU TURN UP LOUD IS YOUR OPINION.

FOR MOST PEOPLE IT’S EASIER TO JUST AGREE.FOR ME THE HARDEST THING IS JUST TO AGREE , AND THAT’S WHAT SPARKS CREATIVITY. THE FEELING THAT SOMETHING CAN BE BETTER , THE FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS MISSING, THE FEELING THAT SOMETHING’S NEEDED.

Gaga with a Twist.

If this was an artist’s first release it might sound pedestrian. But this is Lady Gaga , and after bad romance, telephone and all the rest , she gets away with being unexpected on this track .I hope it’s on every station in Nebraska.

Anon. The name that this (really good) band in the streets of Edinburgh has been tagged with after they performed on Wednesday night for an hour , without mentioning who they are…we’re not in the US any more.

Kelis feat. Andre 3000 _ Millionaire:

The chorus popped into my head when I was on the escalator at the Holburn tube station. I couldn’t place it all morning…and then it was Outkast , but wait, it’s KELIS and Andre 3000.All the way turned up.

monocle magazine:

I picked up a copy of monocle magazine from the Londis in Bloomsbury. Lupe Fiasco mentions it in ’the cool’ and I wanted to know why it got a shout out. After spending a rainy friday afternoon with a copy I can see why. A bit of global insight , from Oakland down to Auckland.

Grass rooftops , seen from Calton hill in Edinburgh. It looks like the Scottish , in a city full of ancient stone buildings , could be the ones leading the development of green design.
