The legend of the Koala Koobor

Once Upon a Time in the Dreamtime (the central theme of the culture of Indigenous Australians explaining the origins of their world), an orphan named Koobor constantly abused and neglected by his clan.
The area was very dry and every night everyone drank before him and he only had never enough water to quench his thirst. He then had to learn to live by eating the leaves of the gum tree full of water, but it was never enough. One morning, when the clan went looking for food, they forgot to hide the buckets of water for the first time in his life, Koobor had enough water to drink. It fills the belly it was ready to burst. Once, his thirst quenched, he realized that his clan would be very angry when he would return. He decided to gather all the buckets of water and hung on a low branch to hide them. Then he climbed into the branches and sang a wonderful song that made the tree grow so that it became the highest in the forest.
the evening, when people from the clan Koobor regained the village, they were exhausted and hungry and soon became very angry when they saw their buckets of water hanging from the tallest tree that was Koobor. They asked him to make buckets stolen, but he refused and told them: "Your turn to be thirsty!". This put them in a huff. Several men climbed the tree, but Koobor made them fall by tapping with the buckets. Two wizards came smarter still high and beat until Koobor and threw his little weary limbs crashed to the ground.
While all were watching, they saw the broken body morph into koala and climb the nearby tree. He then sat in the highest branches and began to leaf chewing gum. Koobor told them: "You can kill me to eat me, but my skin can not be dismembered, nor my bones broken before I'm done. If anyone dares to disobey my mind all the lakes dry up and all rivers, so that everyone will die, and so it will be all the koalas! ".


is why koalas do not need water to stay alive and why Aborigines always respect the order of Koobor when cooking a koala because they fear it will come back and take them all their water, leaving them hungry for ever.

The Song of the Week (42): The Perfect Circle (Michel Cloup)

Sometimes (it very rare) a song from this point resonates with some of your memories or some of your concerns, within seconds, it stays with you. Ideally, this is what we can expect from any work of art: it crystallizes and expresses a certain state of life, a feeling, an emotion. From this point of view, the latest single from Michel Cloup, "The Perfect Circle" (released last November 22), is a total success. The text evokes modesty and talent, the nostalgic experience of a drift session where every place is full of memories and weight of the past. Everything begins: "We drew a circle the center of the city / central / card we went out and we walked / all day all night / We drew a circle and came back / to all the places where we lived. "During this experience, melancholy ("I must say in recent months / I have a weight that slows somewhat / rhythm of my footsteps") gradually gives way to a form of appeasement and our two walkers complete their drift sitting on a bench in silence, one against the other. This beautiful text is supported by the music of the same level, quite refined: a battery (played by Patrice Cartier) and guitar (which is discrete , at times giving way to text), that's all. The result is a song that could shake your groove, at times, listening quietly letting himself be carried away by the music and text. The whole is more refined and more intimate than other projects of Michel Cloup as Diabologum or experience more exciting too. The entire album will be released in the month of May. It's gonna be a long wait until then ...

The origin of the phrase "Make a beef"

The French expression " jam " comes from the Parisian cabaret, The Ox on the Roof, located at 28 rue Boissy d'Anglas in the 8th arrondissement of Paris where musicians were in the late evening to meet and practice together long improvisations. This restaurant was the meeting place of Jean Cocteau and musicians near "Six" (a group of composers who wrote in France the first half of the twentieth century, members were Georges Auric, Louis Durey, Arthur Honegger, Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc and Germaine Tailleferre). That's where Leo began including Ferré, Marcel Mouloudji, Charles Trenet, or Brothers Jacques. The musicians finally nominate their jam sessions (English word) the term "jam".


jam The term is usually used for jazz, hip-hop and reggae. For rock, one more willing to talk "to beef", "type the beef" or "Boeuff", while the Cuban musicians, Latin jazz and salsa instead of talking descarga ("discharge").

The peculiarity of the Washington National Cathedral

The Washington National Cathedral (officially consecrated under the name "Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul in Washington") is one of the most important religious buildings of the United States States: its size, it is also the sixth largest cathedral in the world (excluding therefore the Basilicas of St. Peter's and Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro, which has the status of a cathedral).

President George Washington was the first to consider the foundation of a cathedral in the new federal capital. In 1893, Congress adopted a charter, laying the legal foundations necessary to build the National Cathedral. The first stone of the sanctuary was laid in 1907 by President Theodore Roosevelt completion dates only from 1990.
This imposing shrine was designed by the architects Frederick Bodley and Philip Hubert Frohman, the latter having taken over the work after the First World War until his death in 1972. After long hesitation about which party architectural would be chosen for the cathedral, its designers finally opted for a neo-Gothic style inspired by the cathedrals of England and Normandy. The dimensions of the sanctuary are impressive: 161 meters long from the entrance to the nave to the apse, and 94.8 meters in height between the base and top of the tower.

On both sides of the building, pinnacles and gargoyles offer sculptures inspired by the medieval iconography, without excluding more secular themes: for example, represents one of the gargoyles corrupt politician with hundred dollar bills in excess of pockets of his coat, another representing the Sith Lord "Darth Vader", key figure of the movie Star Wars. This trait of humor contemporary artists joined in this coarse masks and caricatures adorning some other churches and cathedrals of medieval Europe.

This building is visited annually by over 800,000 people.
