Bill Murray finds the quintessential Bill Murray role in Ivan Reitman's 1992 comic morality play about a shallow, egocentric reporter forced to repeat the same 24 hour day till he gets it right. The gently acerbic script, by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis, is equal parts Woody Allen and Preston Sturges with a little Frank Capra thrown in. Chris Elliot, Brian Doyle-Murray and Ramis are part of an amiably eccentric supporting cast that would make Sturges proud. http://www.trailersfromhell.com

Difficile de choisir une salle de concert ce soir là, mais nos jambes nous ont naturellement amenées vers le Kiosk et le Supermarket, où le label Warp Records était à l'honneur. L'occasion pour nous de rencontrer les derniers poulains de l'écurie, à commencer par Bibio, qui nous a gratifié cet été d'un disque fabuleux entre folk et abstract hip-hop. C'est dans le vestiaire du Kiosk que Bibio nous accorde cet entretien, et nous parle de ses relations avec Clark, sa vision de son style si particulier, la genèse de son dernier album, l'origine de ses titres... Merci à Bibio...

Minister Pyne's interview on the Today Show with Lisa Wilkinson and Tanya Plibersek.
Debra was the child of an alcoholic Mother who started seeking because she could not live with her mind’s conditioning anymore. She was a mass of anxiety, hurt and plagued by the past and terrified by the future. She started to meditate which helped to lift the heavy energies she had acquired. She developed a very painful nerve condition and learnt to be with the pain. Found that a dreadful curse became a true blessing. She would spend 5 hours a day in meditation and got to the point where, ‘I was done.’ ‘I thought I knew who I was but suddenly I wasn’t that anymore. So I sat with it and asked ‘Who Am I?’ ‘Who or what is that?’ And the answer came ‘I am God!’ I realised in that moment I am God in expression and now my mind was free. Now there is just me and God and me knowing that I am God...
