An a capella Africa
This is an 'a capella' version of the Toto song "Africa". The astonishing human-made storm will surprise you. This is too good to pass by and wait until Friday to to post on my feel-good-Friday feature.

Paul Potts
The other day, clicking through youtube, I stumbled on a clip of last year's "Britain's Got Talent" show, which I wasn't aware of. I was drawn to the title of a clip "Paul wows Simon Cowell", my curiosity was peaked to find out who had managed to impress the well-known talent seeker.
And wow. I was immediately captivated by this underdog story, this bloke's humble demeanor and his amazing talent. It was the first time I got goosebumps watching a youtube video.

Funny e-mail attachment
A lot has been said in the Greek media these past few weeks about the uncovering that the Hellenic Weight-Lifting Team was using extra-strength "vitamins" to boost their results. The following clip arrived in my mailbox this morning from a friend titled "What you can achieve with appropriate doping"...

Adieu Jules
As a memorial to Jules Dassin, American director and philhellene, who passed away last week, the Greek Parliament's tv channel showed "The Rehearsal" last night. I have never been able to catch it from the beginning on Greek public television or track it down at the video store. It is a uniquely staged documentary (filmed entirely in a New York warehouse) depicting the events of the Polytechnic uprising of November 1973 during the the Greek junta. Sir Laurence Olivier, Maximilian Schell, Aurthur Miller, young Olympia Dukakis and of course his wife, unforgettable Melina Mercouri and others make up the cast. It is a powerful film, splendidly directed by Dassin, who once said he was most proud of this movie out of all his works.

Dromoi Palioi / Serpico
March 21st is packed with "World Days". I've posted about World Water Day, World Sleep Day but March 21st also happens to be World Poetry Day. I will not kid you Internet. Poetry -as in recitals- is not on the top if my list of arts that I enjoy.
I do, however, appreciate poetry in the form of lyrics. Here is a video of one of my favorite songs "Dromoi Palioi" that made me discover and appreciate Greek poet Manolis Anagnostakis. Music by Mikis Theodorakis. This song is also widely known as the theme song for "Serpico" starring Al Pacino.
