Coca-Cola changes name after 127 years

Hallo to all !!
A little out-of-topic for today... infact I post about Coca Cola !

After  127 years (May 8, resorted, in fact, the birthday of the drink) Coca-Cola changes its name. Indeed. Change names. From May to August, in fact, the drink with the best-known name in the world, in Italy will be distributed without the written iconic created by Frank Mason Robinson in 1886. In its place, the 150 most popular names in the beautiful country (next to generic nicknames like "The Professor", "type", "team"). An operation, called Share a Coke, which happens to be the most impressive customization campaign ever made and was created for, as the Director of Marketing Coca-Cola Italy, "to be closer to our audience and become more and more , the drink of all. "

Asaf Avidan

Hallo to all !!
Tody I post for you an interesting interview with the singer Asaf Avidan ! Enjoy it !

How did the collaboration with Dondup come up? In what way do you think your songs inspired Manuela Mariotti and the Dondup collection?
I think I got a mail from Manu. I saw her work, and was curious to meet her. Once we met it was obvious we wanted to do something together. She told me that my music was the soundtrack for her days of designing that line. Music has a way of being interpreted and molded into emotions and actions. That's the magic of it.
How did you become so fascinated with rock and American folk?
My parents lived for a long while in New York during the 70's... They had an amazing record collection of rock, folk, blues and jazz.
How about your voice? when and how did you realize you could use it as a form of art?
About six years ago I was an animator with no musical background or inspiration. I was going through a rough breakup and a broken heart, and I found that vocalizing my feelings with music , helped me understand myself better. The voice came as a result of all the hidden emotions and thoughts that needed to come out with all the pain of what I was going through.
How much of Israel  is in your music and the way you perform, I mean has the complexity of the middle east situation influenced you, if yes how?
None at all... I write about universals subjects like death, love and hope... You don't need a specific passport to understand them. I'm an artist from Israel. Not an Israeli artist.
Are there any talented Israeli fashion designers that you know and would like to mention?
There is David Sassoon, an amazingly talented and humble designer , and his stylist Edward El Camino. About 80% of my wardrobe is David's.  He has a simplicity and elegance, and a knack for designing for skinny guys. You should definitely check him out.
Fashion is more and more attracted by rock and roll at its wildest: what do you think of fashion?
I think fashion is hooked on a small cliche of rock and roll... And I think people are starting to mix up music with external accessories . Music is a deep and profound art form with more meaning than some mouse in your hair or a cool tshirt. I think if fashion designers respect the complexity of musicians , than it can be a very strong connection. Much like music and videos.
What is the favourite item in your wardrobe? what do you pack in your suitcase?I have two sets of leather suspenders that I wear for every show.
Where do you leave and work today and where do you see yourself in the future?I have an apartment in tel aviv near the beach and that is where all my belongings are. But to call that my home is weird, because most of the time I'm on the tour bus or in hotels. I'm a traveling circus now. I hope I can buy a nice old house in Italy and renovate it... With some horses and grape vines and some olive trees.
What about social networks? are you on any?
I operate my facebook page and that's enough for me.
Future projects?
Touring till the end of the year... then take some time off to sit in front of the sea.

The Gaga Gate continues

Hello to all!
Today I continue to talk about the case that I found out about Lady Gaga .... I searched a bit around and found this nice little article published on Vogue.it :

"The details are those of the 14 pages of documentary evidence, including numerous exchanges of mail, the former assistant Jennifer 'O Neill (who called to the bar Lady Germanotta for a refund of several hundred thousands of dollars in overtime) filed in court and on which, needless to say, the reporters were reckless.

He learns that Lady Gaga at the Monster Ball Tour hopes in his dressing room a mannequin with pubic hair pink. Or that the pop star is a true champion of bargaining. Also as reported by former assistant, Gaga would have asked for a discount of two thousand pounds for a dress that was later acquired.

By exchanges of e-mails is not clear, however, nothing scandalous if not some ordinary superstar tantrum. And then we have to evolve. A demonstration of the fact that the problem is not the money but the principle (as Gaga has said the same, it's the pain of having lost a friend to an economic issue), Mother Monster have decided to donate the amount for which it was cited new assistant affected by breast cancer. A move to great effect, which we hope is not just pure marketing. "

The Gaga Gate

Hello to all!
Today I post a disconcerting news! it's of two months ago but I've  discovered it only now ..... it seems that
Lady Gaga has been sued by Jennifer O’Neill, former assistant (or, as Gaga herself made clear, “my best friend since she was 19 years old”), that asked for a 380.000 dollars compensation for the 7000 hours of overtime work. “I was with her almost 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This includes sleeping in the same bed with her. Because she doesn’t sleep alone”. In bed together? Yes, but without sex, obviously. It seems that the assistant has been only asked for a bit of company (this could be explained with the relationship that existed between the two ex friends), that was nonetheless lived as a forcing, that could be accepted only if adequately paid.
You know that ? How did it go?
If anyone knows anything about that write! We are curious to know how the story ended!
