|  | Greenhouse Effect performs live here recorded bootleg style on a ghetto blaster on September 1, 1990 along with 6 other South Bay bands at a huge festival where G.e. stole the show ! Drummer Mike Valencia plays here on this -not Clark Hagins ...who was normally the drummer in the usually three piece G.e. Hagins only sings lead here leaping about in his blue hockey jersey. Clark Hagins and Phil Keegan would argue over the merits of four piece vs. three piece; Hagins felt that Mike Valencia was not powerful enough of a drummer and that it made the gigs less tight...G.e. would pride themselves on playing clean ..pretty much like the footage from the Music Machine in West Los Angeles (thats more representative of G.e.)..here..there is some good energy but much like the Who Isle of White, ..its not the tightest recording on earth, Still; that good ol' G.e. energy is there and written all over this...

 | Florence (or Firenze)is famous among tourists and scholars for her glorious artwork, cultural heritage, and the major role she played in the Renaissance and Humanist movements. All these facets combine to make this one of the most glorious cities in the world. Cradle of the Renaissance, this beautiful city is also called the Athens of the Middle Ages. The "Historic Centre of Florence" was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in 1982.
Florence, the main town of Tuscany, is just at the center of Italy (300 kms south from Milan and 280 north from Rome). As a Renaissance city famous for its art and architecture, I rediscovered history and culture in every corner, tucked among the city's many piazzas, beautiful churches, and fascinating galleries and museums. As a matter of fact, there are few places in the world that have such a huge concentration of monuments and masterpieces in such a small space.
The city is dominated by the splendid piazza del Duomo, and, at its core, the Duomo, the city's cathedral, with its exterior inlaid with intricately patterned pink, white and green marble. The symbol of Florence soars above the surrounding buildings; in fact, it's so huge that there's no point nearby from where you can see the entire building, but one gets glimpses of it wandering through the neighboring streets. The word duomo comes from a latin word "domus" (house) and "Domus" is the House of God. The Duomo, or Cattedrale de Santa Maria del Fiore, is one of Europe's most recognizable landmarks. Looming over the city, the building features a massive dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. The Florentine Gothic duomo was begun in 1296 and consecrated in 1436. The baptistry doors dedicated to St. John the Baptist (which date back to 1059), known as the Gates of Paradise, were created by Ghiberti, and Dante, the father of Italian Renaissance poetry, was baptized here. Giotto continued the construction work begun in 1296 by Arnolfo di Cambio, who was also the famous architect of the church of Santa Croce and the Palazzo Vecchio, and Giotto's major accomplishment was the building of the campanile (built in 1334). The frescos at the Dome represent the Last Judgement done by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari, renowned Renaissance artists.
Built around the end of the thirteenth century as a symmetrical contrast to the city's religious center, Piazza della Signoria has always been the civic center of Florentine life right from the medieval times. Of all its many squares, this is Florence's showpiece piazza, with the 13th-century crenellated Palazzo Vecchio, and surrounded by other important buildings, such as the Loggia della Signoria and the Palazzo degli Uffizi on the south side, the sixteenth century Palazzo degli Uguccioni on the north side, and the Palazzo del Tribunale di Mercanzia (about 1359) on the east side. At the heart of the piazza is Bartolomeo Ammanati's Fountain of Neptune, which is a masterpiece of marble sculpture at the terminus of a still functioning Roman aqueduct.
Heading towards the river from the piazza Signoria, the piazzale degli Uffizi is home to the greatest museum of Renaissance art in the world, the Uffizi Gallery. Occupying the former offices of the Medici administration, many of Italy's most celebrated paintings can be seen here -- the Uffizi has a room filled with nothing but Botticellis, including the famous Birth of Venus and the glowing Allegory of Spring, along with stunning works by Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
The huge area that surrounds Santa Croce is one of Florence's richest neighborhoods. The mock-Gothic church of Santa Croce dates back to the 13th century, and is filled with the tombs of the city's illustrious dead. Dante's tomb is just a memorial, as he was buried in Ravenna, but Michelangelo does actually lie in his elaborate tomb, as does Galileo in his. |

Sabato Italiano - Italian Saturday - is a video project that was born from the combination-synchronisation of two videos related to the political gig of Forza Italia, named No Tax Day, which took place Saturday, December 11th 2004. The date is important because it follows the day when Court in Milan sentenced and assessed the corruption of Romano Squillante, a judge, back in March 6/7th 1991. Corruptor was Silvio Berlusconi, our prime minister(2001-2006). The crime was cancelled because of new prescription
Lets go back to the No Tax Day, Berlusconi's intervention inside Palasport Taliercio wad filmed by Matteo Rosso, who managed to attend the gig among hundreds "berluscones" and supporters. At the same time Andrea Morucchio filmed himself while listening to Radio radicale live show, Radio Radicale played Berlusconi's speech live. Morucchio is also reading the newspaper "L'Unità". The newspaper's front page stated: "Berlusconi corrupts judges".
Few months later we found out that the two of us were working on a similar project and we edited images via synchronizing the audio of Taliercio's and the one of the radio broadcasting.A six-minute six is the result, half of the monitor show the shooting at Taliercio and the other half the shooting at Morucchio's. Editing criteria: parallel vision depends on the synchronisation of audios. The final product play them in alternation.
Sabato Italiano is a video that goes through reportage and domestic "reality-show", it documents the perception of a political and media happening from two different points of view. The combination of different perceptions of a garish and absurd happening -- at least to a great majority of Italians, we hope, the constant presence of L'Unità's front page and of Berlusconi's supporters' reaction, Berlusconi's words generate a sense of "satiric horror vaqui", which is at the end stressed in Morucchio's glance while Forza Italia's supporters sing their chants.
Sabato Italiano è un'opera video che nasce dalla combinazione-sincronizzazione di due documenti video relativi alla manifestazione politica di Forza Italia, No Tax Day tenutasi a Mestre Sabato undici Dicembre 2004. La data è importante in quanto è il giorno successivo alla sentenza del Tribunale di Milano che accertava la avvenuta corruzione in data 06-07 Marzo 1991 dell'allora giudice romano Renato Squillante da parte del Presidente del Consiglio della Repubblica Italiana Silvio Berlusconi 2001-2006). Reato cancellato per intervenuta prescrizione.
Ma torniamo al No Tax Day, l'intervento di Berlusconi al Palasport Taliercio è stato video documentato in loco da Matteo Rosso infiltratosi tra centinaia di berluscones sugli spalti tra sventolii di vessilli forzaitalioti e l'entusiasmo grottesco dei supporters del premier.Contemporaneamente Andrea Morucchio si autoriprendeva nel cucinino di casa mentre ascoltando in diretta da Radio Radicale le parole del Presidente del Consiglio sfoglia l'Unità di quel giorno che titolava in prima pagina "Berlusconi ha Corrotto i Giudici".
Qualche mese più tardi scoperta la coincidenza di aver realizzato degli spezzoni video riguardanti lo stesso avvenimento abbiamo montato le immagini sincronizzando l'audio in presa diretta delle riprese al Taliercio di Rosso con quello della radio ascoltata nella "messa in scena" domestica di Morucchio. Il risultato è un video di sei minuti in cui metà monitor rimanda le riprese del Taliercio e l'altra metà quelle del cucinino.
Il criterio che ha determinato il montaggio e quindi la visione "in parallelo" delle diverse riprese dipende dalla sincronizzazione delle due fonti audio che nel video finale vengono trasmesse alternate passando via via dalla presa diretta all'interno del Palasport a quella trasmessa in diretta dalla radio nel cucinino.
Sabato Italiano è un'opera video che attraverso il reportage sul campo e il "reality" della scena domestica, documenta la percezione di un'avvenimento politico e quindi massmediatico attraverso due punti di vista.La combinazione di diverse percezioni di un avvenimento talmente pacchiano e assurdo, almeno per un numero speriamo sempre maggiore di italiani, la costante presenza del titolo dell'Unità riguardo al reato di Berlusconi da una parte e le reazioni dei suoi fans quando li invita a leggere questo quotidiano dall'altra, le esternazioni del nostro premier a proposito, appunto, di Giustizia, provocano una senzazione di "satirico horror vaqui" che nel finale si enfatizza nella fissità dello sguardo di Morucchio al crescendo del canto collettivo del karaoke di Forza Italia. |

Quiet and a bit shy, Jeram says that her "pagiging natural" is the power behind her irresistible cahrm.
"Kiss Me" by Sixpence None The Richer
Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.
[Chorus:]
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map |
