1. Departures (Okuribito) <2008>

Selected as Winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film 2008, Departures is a must for people who appreciate the Japanese culture and want to explore more about Japanese life and probably even death. Being a semi-pro cellist, Daigo Kobayashi cannot get away with the thought: “This celo is innocent. But because it’s in my hand, it became a loser“; so he decided to move back to his hometown together with his wife. He got a new job with no-question interview and discovered that the actual work is Nokanshi or ‘encoffineer’ – a funeral professional who prepares deceased bodies for burial and enter the last journey.

Despite the fact that no one supported him including his wife, Daigo takes a pride in his work and begins to perfect his art of ‘Nokanshi’ acting as a gatekeeper between life and death, between the departed and the family of the departed. And just like that, the music comes naturally out of his heart remaining him of his happy childhood and his current gently job …

No other man-made device since the shields and lances of the ancient knights fulfills a man’s ego like an automobile, well-said William. Let’s check out some Street Queens

1. Bugatti Veyron – Hermes 2009

I’m always a fan of Bugatti Veyron and Hermes Un Jardin apres la Mousson; and this one is just an amazing combination

If you ask me about the latest Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2009), first time Steve Jobs did not lead the show – ever, I should say it’s an awe. The keynote give fulld details on release date of Snow Leopard, the next revision of iPhone, and also the re-branding plus price drop on MacBook laptop family.

On this spot in 1989, nothing happened! (Tiananmen Square)

Like him or hate him, it’s just about time everyone knows about Eminem and his taste of music. Despite the little-known fact that there’s only 1 book he read as a child, the dictionary, Eminem has a technical brilliance which powered him become the greatest rapper of time.

One could say his life starts and ends with music. Five years back, after Encore (2004), Eminem rested. As time goes by, this month he hits the mic again with Relapse (2009). Whether or not Eminem’s back to the peak of his talents with Relapse, there’s one thing remains unchanged: Slim Shady is a special guy with real talent

I must say many things have changed, my feeling for Eminem is also changed after half a decade. Hip-hop is like fashion, and styles come and go, but I and the public will still respond to his new album. And just before jumping into any conclusion, let’s take time to listen to Relapse, keeping in mind Eminem’s music is not that ‘smooth’ and would definitely take time to digest

My vote for best track is Beautiful:

Walk my shoes, just to see
What it’s like, to be me
All be you, let’s trade shoes
Just to see what I’d be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each other’s mind
Just to see what we find
Looking **** through each other’s eyes

The full tracklist is after the break ^^
