POW!POW!POW! The woman you can see Polarized above is none other than Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam aka M.I.A. I really doubt that I have to introduce this woman to anyone in this day of age, but in the spirit of “You never know”, here’s a quickie. According to Wikipedia M.I.A. (which stands for Missing In Action) is a […]
THE VERY BEST (nothing but)
Dour, 17/07/2010 Behold, before you are watching upon THE VERY BEST. Let me break it down for you. Sometimes in life, you need to have fun. You need to unleash that evil beast that is called ‘the burden of life’ in you, let yourself go, have a drink and dance the night away. We are all […]
Nr 11 (something to hold on to)
The man you can see Polarized above, is none other than Bilal Sayeed Oliver or simply BILAL. Bilal is labeled as a neo-soul singer when he released his first album 1st Born Second in 2001, but with a classical jazz training in his pocket and a big love for all things jazz he prefers to describe his […]
BADU POLARISM
Trust me. Chasing a queen ain’t easy. You have to conquer thunder and lightning. Or in my case that ànd Sahara sun and desert heat. The woman on the Polaroid displayed on this little blog is the almighty ERYKAH BADU, critically acclaimed as the Neo-Soul Queen and much compared with the late Billie Holiday. There is no need […]
TASTEMAKER
Miami, 27/03/2010 I captured a Tastemaker on Polaroid. Just for you. Let me be so kind to introduce you to the almighty GILLES PETERSON. Since this is an OUNI LIKES feature, let me explain why I like Mr Peterson so much: – His BBC RADIO 1 show – Gilles Peterson is radio and radio is […]
SNdouble03P
This picture is the perfect embodiment of what this blog is all about. A snapshot of an instant moment, a visual shot of a musical journey. Or less romantic : a story based on the 3P-theory: Permancence, Perseverance and Persistence and a lot of blood, sweat and tears. (Well, no blood and tears actually, but definitely […]
(all for) NOTHING
Inhale. Exhale. This one is as fucking unbelievable for me as it probably might be for you. Here is the A to the Z story – with LOTS of pictures. While going home by train, I was checking Twitter on my Iphone when I noticed this Tweet directed at me: Honestly? I raised my eyebrows and […]
RYE!RYE! (wassup, wassuuup)
Miami, 25/03/2010 FINALLY! A WOMAN. Man is it hàrd to get the females on this little blog (!?) but we are getting there. Step by step. Meet Ryeisha Berrain from Baltimore , also known as RYE RYE. If that name rings a bell then that’s completely normal, since Rye Rye is M.I.A‘s young protégé for […]

Twin Madness
New York, 03/02/2010 It’s true, good things come in two. Hahaaa. You probably think I’m crazy for this one. Let me explain. Around February, I ended up in New York for work. (Oh yes, we all need to pay the bills you know) Since I try to always be Pola-ready, I took my camera with […]
