THE PHOTOGRAPHER Josh Goleman

- What are your favorite subjects to photograph?

Someone who is on an adventure.

- Do you have any formal training in the art of photography?

I don’t, but I’ve read enough books and blogs to feel up to speed.

- What inspired your interest in photography?

Seeing photographs that I find myself thinking about later, then going back to them and figuring out why. I love how subtleties of light, texture, and subject can tell a story, or simply just stick in your head.

- What continues to inspire you?

Light. It wakes me up every morning, and yet it still gets ignored most of the time.

MUSIC

It’s been a long !me that the band guided by Courtney Love don't put out on sale an LP. This year comes again to the light with "Nobody's daughter". But they don't go back with the en!re forma!on; the only member that is s!ll in the band is Love. The band keeps the style anyway; the idea of Courtney is to show the en!re world and herself that she was ďŹ rst known as musician.

As I s!ll prefer "Celebrity Skin", "Nobody's daughter" s!lls reminds me the sense that charmed me. This is for those who can accept the change.

REVIEW

This band is a mix of Brian Eno (Danger mouth) and James Mercer, combina!on for an explosive pop style. The combina!on of the melodies of Mercer and the lyrics by Eno complains to shine with sweet and ascendant content, showing at first place the “bombos” in a slow camera, the melancholic line of hip-hop bass. A delicious piece to expand your musical culture. Most than recommended!

Mersey Beat - Under what circumstances Mersey Beat was born in name and form?

It was somewhat by chance ... I was looking for bands to play, and went some !me playing in bands in the city but without much con!nuity. As I did not know many people in Quilmes, I signed the photoblog of "La Roca" (a bar in Bernal) saying that I wanted to form a band. There Cris!an contacted me (a friend of the band) and introduced me to Silvio (guitarist), who told me he wanted to form a Beatle band but it’s earliest !mes, from when they were not famous and playing in bars in Hamburg, Germany .

The name I suggested, on one side because of the River Mersey in England, and on the other side there was a journal called Mersey Beat in those years. But the main reason is that Mersey Beat or Mersey Sound is the type of music called "Beat" that emerged in Liverpool, England in the early 60s.

- How long have you played together?

Since the end of 2007. At ďŹ rst we had another bassist and a drummer, in March 2008 Fede joined, recommended by a mutual friend and by mid 2009 Gabi joins by the hand of Fede.

- What characterizes you as a band?

On the one hand, I believe that the equipment we use, they give us more like the sound of the era, the instruments used is an important influence in the sound. Moreover, I think we have a way to play that shows how much we enjoy it both in rehearsals and in vivo. I think if you are comfortable it moves to the playing.

- Have you had any proposals of great magnitude, musically speaking?

By the !me we are playing in small places, we don’t have much !me to search for dates or large fes!vals because the four of us work-study and we are a bit complicated, but the idea is just to get more dates and make us be&er known. For this we recorded a demo in the LPestudio (h&p://lpestudio.blogspot.com/).

- Already have a demo, tell me, how was the experience of recording?

I personally had a great !me, I really love recording so when the opportunity arose to make the demo I did not hesitate. It was a somewhat new experience for me since we recorded tracks, I was used to home recording, playing live but you want to do something that sounds good so sincerely I loved it.

- The lyrics of the Beatles are very par!cular, which ones iden!fy each of you and why?

I think the best lyrics are those of the second period, ie, those wri&en from the album Revolver. Personally I love the songs with orchestral arrangements like Eleanor Rigby and She is leaving home, or more themes combined with the rock like I am the Walrus.

- How do you feel about the band’s improvement, and how do you think the public percep!on is?

I think the band grew a lot. Why? I think it is due to a combina!on, which is a cocktail of good musicians, passion and strength in what we do, fana!cism and the music we represent and especially a*tude. Something happens in the rehearsals which is very interes!ng, is proposing a topic almost at random and out of a general, and that's because we all know all the Beatles songs.

- What show do you consider as the most important and why?

All shows were / are / will be important, because we really enjoy all and we are ge*ng the juice of it all. Always gave 110% and stay that way. On the other hand I might tell you that the best one is always coming.

- What are your plans for this year?

Probably con!nue to expand the music of the '60s in order to reach as many people as possible. Some people have told me they did not know certain songs that we do and they loved them. That is our main aim precisely: play songs that not everyone knows. We want people to have the opportunity to learn about these issues, because if you want to hear a help or a hard days night, you can hear them on the radio or on TV or online. But it is rare you will encounter with a “Leave my ki&en alone”.

- Finally, A wish for this year?

Peace and love!

Alice was here!

Oxford was the birthplace of the "Wonderland" and "Looking-Glass" stories, s!ll two of the world's most famous books. And was where Charles Dogson (aka Lewis Carroll) and his real-life inspira!on Alice Liddell (yes that Alice!) both lived. Fringe Indie Magazine was there and these are our postcards.

Christ Church College: Alice was the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church and Lewis Carroll was the Maths Professor at the college.

Alice's Shop: this is weird, but Alice has a shop! (The shop has existed since the 1830s and it became an Alice themed gi4 store in 1965) Pos!ng Box: it's nice to think that Alice has sent her le&ers here!

The Park: here is where Alice spent all their !me in the original manuscript of "Wonderland"!

River Thames: Lewis Caroll took Alice and her friends out on boat trips, and in was on these occasions he would tell them stories.

“THE BLOGGER OF THE MOMENT” Daniella Maiorano

Buenos Aires Flavia Martina

The “F” Blog - When did you decided to start your blog and how was the process?

I decided to start my blog about a year and a half ago a4er reading other blogs (Fashion Toast was one of the first that I started reading along with a few others).

At first I had no idea what I was doing (had no clue how to upload photos properly or use a photo hos!ng website, etc). But I started loving it right away and knew it was something I was committed to.

would you give on how to style it?

Black is a pre&y easy colour to wear- probably the easiest actually. The only advice I would have about it is that if you’re going to wear alot of black at once- make it abit more interes!ng with different textures or propor!ons.

- What importance do you give to jewellery while crea!ng an ou=it?

I love jewellery, but I don’t base my ou=it around it. I usually throw it on at the end. I am one of those people that tends to have a few key favourite pieces and wear them non-stop for a few months.

And then I change it up and the cycle starts over again. Especially with rings (right now it’s a big silver one, a skull, and a turquoise/silverish one). I think rings are my favourite, I am always looking for new ones.

- When did you realize you liked fashion?

I realized I liked fashion at an early age; but I didn’t think about it as a career un!l the end of high school. I almost went to university to become a teacher (thank God I didn’t); just because I didn’t know what else I wanted to do and that’s what all my friends were doing. Then I had some sort of revela!on and decided I could go to school - For what we’ve seen so far you are a hats fan, for fashion. how many do you have and which one is your favorite, why?

- How would you define your style?

I actually don’t have that many hats, only 5 I think.

That’s hard to define (for me anyways). It so- My favourite is a big cream coloured one from mewhat changes from day to day, depending on TopShop. I am looking for a similar one in black, how I feel. I usually like to dress pre&y simple and but can’t find one anywhere. laidback. I love black, vintage, and things with an ethnic feel. I think I like to mix grunge and hippie - Besides managing your blog, what do you do for vibes together… living? Does it involve art and crea!vity?

Well, before I moved to London I was a freelance - To know you a li&le bit more, who are your fas- stylist in Toronto as well as an assistant fashion hion references and icons? editor at a Canadian magazine. I really loved it, I don’t believe in having a muse or an icon really. but decided I wanted to travel before se&ling into I don’t want to look or dress like someone else, I a real job. So I le4 it behind and moved to Lonjust want to be myself. Of course there are many don with some friends and am now concentra!ng people and things that I find inspiring, the biggest on travelling and living my life to the fullest! So, I one being just people and life in general. Others guess I am a stylist… just not working at the moinclude: Jim Morrison (the Doors), Penny Lane in ment.

Almost Famous, Sharne Sco&, and MK Olsen.

- This is our FIM obligatory ques!on: Do you fo- We can see through your ou=its that black is an llow trends or try to build them yourself? outstan!ng color in your wardrobe, what advise I think it’s hard to ignore trends and I’m sure

they influence my style in some way or another, but I definitely don’t base my ou=its/wardrobe on them. If something comes along that I feel would work with my style, I wear it, regardless if it’s a “trend” or not. I pre&y much will wear anything as long as I love it and feel comfortable in it.

- Favourite place to shop?

Vintage/markets.

- What was the last thing you’ve bought?

A bunch of stuff from Monki (a sheer oversized black dress, harem pants, crop top, long grey skirt, etc) when I was in Stockholm last week.

- What is your best kept secret in fashion (that you can reveal to our readers)?

I don’t have one… just be yourself and wear what makes you happy. That’s not a secret really.

- What other blogs do you recommend us and who would you like to be the next "blogger of the moment"?

The blog I read everyday without a doubt is Knightcat. I also love the girls of BleachBlack as well as Anywho. I think Chris!ne of “christeric” is pre&y rad too!
