以Oliver Ackermann為首的紐約熱血搞團青年為了開設手工吉他效果器工作室Death By Audio，意外在工業區租到一間破舊但龐大的倉庫。他們在這裏搞起各式派對與表演，靠低廉的門票和酒水費支付開銷。Oliver Ackermann⋯⋯
Rock isn’t just a genre—it’s a culture, a way of life. Some may seem bizarre or outrageous, but they’re actually artistic geniuses. Some pioneered new sounds that shaped generations. Some wielded the pen like a sword, turning rock into a cultural force. Some stood tall against oppressive regimes, refusing to unclench their fists. Giloo presents 11 essential rock documentaries. So if anyone ever asks you what rock is, just tell them: watch these films. Don’t ask me what rock means—feel it.
The Kishu An Book Festival aims to overturn the stereotype of books as dull or monotonous by infusing literature with vibrant musical elements and bringing artistic experiences into everyday life. Through engaging sessions led by guest speakers, participants are invited to discover how closely literature resonates with their own lives. The 2022 edition of the festival, themed “Musical Narrative: Music x Reading”, featured lectures, performances, an online film screening series, and a themed marketplace. It brought together music critics, writers, and singer-songwriters who navigate both the literary and musical worlds, sharing how they translate experiences between these forms and explore unique modes of expression and interpretation.
What is rock? Rock is music, a culture, and above all—a way of life. From tender romance to explosive frenzy, rock takes on countless forms. If you’re still not sure what rock really is—watch the films first!
Alcohol is tears, it's euphoria, it's unfiltered release, it's whispered confidences. Its nature, good or bad, is truly indefinable. These films offer a captivating and authentic record of the emotions—the highs and lows—associated with drink.
In the month of 9/11 in the early 2000s, graphic design master Milton Glaser, creator of "I ❤️ NY," powerfully expressed the hopeful and fearless spirit of New Yorkers with a new poster: "I ❤️ NY MORE THAN EVER." The magic of New York's spirit captivated me, drawing me to move to the city two years later. In 2005, I lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, across the river—a dreamland for hippies and artists. Shepard Fairey's graffiti adorned the streets, and at night, for just five dollars, you could slip through a small door into a food warehouse by the river to hear all sorts of wild music performances. At that time, there was no social media, and artists expressed themselves to the world in a very pure way. Banksy secretly hung his work in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, only to be discovered by security two hours later. Marina Abramović and her partner Ulay finally gazed into each other's eyes amidst the sprawling queues at MoMA. After Alexander McQueen passed away, "Savage Beauty" at the Metropolitan Museum became a city-wide sensation. These slightly aged, yet fortunately experienced, New York moments—their initial shock and emotion—have been permanently sealed as scenes, shaping my future attitude towards art and design.
