Besides a jury vote by a quite impressive set of artists and industry experts, there is also an audience award called Vox Populi. So register and cast your vote by giving 5 stars to your favorite (which I hope will be Dark Model, of course). I would appreciate if you let your friends know to vote as well!

経済に限らず悪いニュースがあると「政治家が悪い!」という風に犯人探しをしたくなるけれど、上位国の政治家がそれほど優秀で国民想いかというと…全然そんなことはないのは秒速で分かる(笑)。 GDP=国の価値ではないけれど、今の日本は仕事の付加価値(レバレッジ)も勢いも少し寂しい。誰かを責める前に、かつてのような「がむしゃらな風土」がなくなった現実を、一人一人がそっと受け止める時期なのかもしれない。

EW&Fというバンドを偉大にしたのは、親方であるモーリス・ホワイトの壮大なビジョンや統率力によるところが大きい。けれど音楽的には、弟ヴァーディンのベースアレンジが大きく貢献しているように思う。 彼のスタイルはいわゆるファンク特有のシンコペーションの反復ではなく、むしろポール・マッカートニーやモータウン的なランニングベース、あるいは対位法的なアプローチの応用に聴こえる。…と思ったら、インタビューで本人がまさにそう語っていた(笑)。

手軽に陶芸気分を味わえる素材として「オーブン陶土」というものがあるが、海外では「ポリマークレイ」という素材が圧倒的に主流。しかし仕上がりは樹脂っぽくて、目指す方向性も質感も全くの別物。100均などでも買えるこのオーブン陶土は、陶芸文化が身近にある日本だからこそ生まれた、本当にユニークで素晴らしいクラフト素材だと思う。とは言え、造形に関しては今のところ、自分で作るよりも達人が作るプロセスを動画で眺める方が楽しい。
