"They say we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death...
everyone.
The weight of a stack of a nickels.
The weight of a chocolate bar.
The weight of a hummingbird."

The basic idea of "21 grams" is the fact that we all lose 21 grams when we die, which means, maybe the weight of our soul, which leaves our body, is exactly 21 grams.
The movie, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, released in 2003. The main characters are Paul Rivers (Sean Penn), Jack Jordan (Benicio Del Toro), and Cristina Peck (Naomi Watts).
The film is very unique, because the timeline is totally destroyed, and there are no signs which helps us to arrive at a point about the exact story, until about the first 60 minutes of the movie. But later, everything becomes clear.


"21 Grams, written by Guillermo Arriaga (Amores perros), explores the emotionally and physically charged existences of three people over a period of several months. An accident unexpectedly throws their lives and destinies together, in a story that will take them to the heights of love, the depths of revenge, and the promise of redemption."
In my opinion, the characters are all have serious problems with the meaning of life, and with their own roles in the society, but they're searching these things, which sometimes harder than we think it is.

Bauchklang - vocal groove project from Austria. Bauchklang is an extremely creative music group, which consists of six vocalists with six microphones. These guys make a very complex music without any instruments!
The drums, percussion, keyboards, guitar, bass - everything, every sound made with mouth. Bauchklang more than just beatboxing, their sound is on a complete basis, which seems to be a unique conception. Their style is mainly a mixture of ragga, drum&bass, hip-hop, world music, avantgard and electronic, but anything else is acceptable in their music. "Jamzero" was the debut release, in 2001. Their second album was released in 2005, with the title "Many People".
They've played once in Hungary, at the Sziget Festival, and in June, 2007 they'll come to our country again, to play at the Balaton Groove Festival.

Press Review about Bauchklang:
"...not only the technical achievement leaves one speechless, but also the
music stands ist ground all the way through, this probably is the secret that propels these austrians well ahead of the scene..."(magazine la cote/nyon/ch)

Must see this one:

Soulfly - Prophecy


Unearth - Giles


Mastodon - Colony of Birchmen

Stephen Marley, one of the twelve children of Bob Marley released His first album, "Mind Control" in the beginning of 2007, although He has made a lot of previous records and collaborations with other artists. Most of His collaborations made with one of His brothers, Damian "Junior Gong" Marley (Bob Marley's nickname was "Tuff Gong", similar to a label where "Mind Control" was released), who has three solo albums ("Mr. Marley", "Halfway Tree" - which is a Grammy-winner album, and "Welcome To Jamrock" - a Grammy-winner album too, and it is the greatest success of Junior Gong).
Although, He has spent many years in music, "Mind Control" has just released with 11 songs, and with featured artists like Mos Def (one of the leading figures of conscious hiphop), Julian Marley, Mr. Cheeks, Spragga Benz, Damian Marley, Maya Azucena & Illestr8 and Ben Harper (on guitar). My favourite songs on the album are "Mind Control", "Hey Baby" (with Mos Def), "Iron Bars" (with Julian Marley, Mr. Cheeks and Spragga Benz) and "The Traffic Jam" (with Damian Marley), but the others are also great (except "Let Her Dance", which is the only one that I don't like).
Stephen Marley's music is very full-fledged and professional, and I would mark this album as one of the best reggae releases of the year, although the most of the year is just coming, but maybe this will be one of the biggest successes in 2007.
