Cue the music. A pouty Spanish troubadour needs, no DEMANDS, all of your attention. What follows is a fusion of looped sounds, beatbox, hip hop/freestyle, storytelling, improv, metal guitar riffs and Eric's awkward bird-like dancing.

In 2014, Eric waved bye-bye to the bureaucratic monotony of Washington, DC and embarked on a journey that would become the GREATEST journey ever journeyed upon. He created deep pools of sweat in a Burmese monastary. He chased that experience with a heaping glass of hedonism at the Thai paradise "The Sanctuary," where liver cleanses and acid tabs are consumed interchangably. He fell for a Danish ice queen, an Austrian shamaness, and an especially cold bowl of coconut ice cream.

What happens when you unwind your personal narrative at 35? The voice of doubt, confusion, regret, and siren songs of lives we might have lived grow strong. Eric will strive to reassemble the puzzle pieces and slay the voices beneath the stage lights. Odd, yes. Strange, sure. Groundless, Maybe. Somehow universal? ...I'll get back to you...

THE TROUBADOR'S MUSTACHE Hits The Dragon Stage in One Week - Broadway World

Likud members know how to close ranks when they have too, and that includes the ministers, some of whom bit the bullet on Wednesday evening and sat at the front row at the Likud rally, opposite the stage. They found it difficult to hide the heartburn, but none of them opened their mouths. Anyone looking to the future knows that this isnt the time to talk.

Netanyahu at Wednesdays rally, against the backdrop of the Likud logo. Cynically and sophisticatedly binding himself and his family together with his party (Photo: EPA)

Theres so much Machiavellianism here, so many lies. Why even the latest polls have shown that if Likud is headed by a different leader, the party will gain even more Knesset seats.

Nevertheless, it was impossible not to feel discomfort. Watching this demonstration, the factual distortion (not to mention the historical distortion), hearing Netanyahu turn his familys unlimited hedonism and exploitation into a harassment of his wife by the media, as if its all about a cup of tea served to her righteous father on his deathbed.

Hearing the disparagement, the lies, the hatred towards members of a large public, who felt on Wednesday that this isnt their prime minister, that theyre outsiders in this country in light of such a divisive speech. A speech of a camp leader, turning to the members of his camp and inciting them against the other camp.

A person in Netanyahus situation should have bowed his head and kept silent. He definitely shouldnt have organized an Erdoan-style rally for himself. He should have waited quietly for the attorney generals decision. Instead, Netanyahu chose war.

Downtown Birmingham Alabama is facing the one thing in thirty years it never thought it would see renovation. The city happens to pack the largest population of any in the state. Through hilly regions, country sprawl and more collegiate joy than a frat party in nearby Tuscaloosa, Birmingham enjoys its status as both a crest of modernism and a hastily fastened 1960s time warp.

Churches adorn many a city block, both garish in design and some medieval. The local blues station plays the kind of beer-joint-blues where cheating on your spouse is the base template for all subject matter. Even the strip clubs, perhaps the holy mecca of both hedonism and self-restraint, are next to lots where a sign that asks for your salvation and time sticks out like a sore thumb.

Given that context and backdrop, Birmingham, Alabama is an absolutely perfect destination for a music festival geared around artist discovery, and thats exactly what last weekends Secret Stages offers.

Secret Stages is one of the few festivals that have stuck to the now antiquated South By Southwest model of throwing a ton of shows in a centralized location and keeping the commercialization factor down to zero. There was only one food truck placed in the middle the Loft District downtown, Secret Stages proverbial ground zero, and its only in the South that Ill get an oyster and shrimp po boy and ask myself, How seasoned is this? before devouring it in less than ten bites.

Starting from the centrally-placed Doubletree and walking downtown, I made my way down to the trio of buildings housing every Secret Stage performer. Hearing Austins Adam Torres wail with a haunting, yet relaxing voice was a definite mood shifter, and before long, I found myself close my eyes and picturing how his music couldve easily soundtracked Birmingham, from the daily grind of city workers attempting to maintain its look, to the various citizens who are unsure of what change and the Civil Rights movement would present.

Still from Tom of Finland. Photograph: Josef Persson

Finnish artist Touko Laaksonen, known by his nom de plume Tom of Finland, is brought above the radar of cultural history in this well-acted biopic.

In postwar Helsinki, in conditions of the gravest illegality, Laaksonen produced thousands on thousands of homoerotic fetish illustrations, showing bulgingly endowed leather-clad guys having an unapologetic good time. Tom of Finlands work reached the liberated US in the 1960s via mail order, and he became a counterculture hero of gay liberation, virtually inventing a whole language of hedonism that influenced Queen, the Village People and the club scene.

Pekka Strang is very good as Tom; the movie suggests that he was traumatised by his wartime experiences Finland being a co-belligerent of Hitlers axis powers. The film shows a perhaps imagined episode of Laaksonen killing a Russian parachutist. But something in his creative alchemy responded to the brutality of Nazis and Soviets in uniform, and then to the uniforms of the police employed to break up cottaging in the parks. His eroticism subversively reclaimed these styles.

So what was Tom of Finland, ultimately? A gay version of R Crumb? Not exactly. Interestingly, the movie doesnt locate a happy ending for him in being accepted by the contemporary art establishment: a much-discussed exhibition never happens in this film. Tom of Finland is perhaps closer to the 50s fetish pinup Bettie Page.

Either way, this drama suggests his importance is in something less culturally high-flown: simply being a rocknroll standard-bearer for gay men, he was the means by which happiness could be achieved. It is arguably a structural problem that the movie ends just as the HIV-Aids debate begins, with Laaksonen depicted fearing that he will be blamed, and rather earnestly promoting condom use.

Still: an intriguing demonstration of how eroticism in gay culture became overt, while straight porn retains its furtiveness and hiddenness.

Tom of Finland review intriguing biopic of a gay liberation hero - The Guardian

For whisky lovers, the glorious East Neuk of Fife, with its tiny fishing villages and hidden secrets, is full of treats. There isnt as much whisky-making here as there is elsewhere in the county, but there is more life.Heading down the coast after exploring North Fifes whisky renaissance, its the perfect next stage of my Fife tour.

The first stop for anyone should be to Cambo Estate, with its world-beating collection of snowdrops, which they celebrate with a festival in February. Then theres Cambolicious, their local ale and music festival, which happens in May and November, and may be more up your street. Theres nowt wrong with goodclean hedonism, after all.

For whisky folk, Kingsbarns distillery is just next-door and is an essential place to visit. Its a pretty one at that, fitting perfectly into its beautiful surroundings. Its set up for golf tourists, so try and ignore some of the stuff in the shop and give it credit for the herculean effort that was made to get it off the ground in the first place.

That a golf caddy managed to turn this venture into reality is truly remarkable. Doug Clement has left the business now, but hell no doubt pop up with something interesting again in the future.

The tour is worthwhile, although the opening video is pretty much everything thats wrong with whisky, Scotland and old white men. The distillery set-up is interesting, with everything in one room and a trick of the light that makes the condensers seem just a wee bit too small.

Try the new make thats really all that matters here. Its amazing; hands-down the best new make Ive tried in ages, and I leave feeling the hunger.

For cheese toastie buffs, the real secret is to nip down to Kingsbarns beach to the toastie van. The best surfer I know classes Kingsbarns beach as a decent spot, and those toasties are apparently even better when youve been floating in the freezing North Sea for a good half an hour.

Maritime tradition: Anstruther is home to a Fisheries Museumand a famous Fish Bar

The next village along is Crail, Fifes hidden gem. Im slightly reticent to talk about it here, because it doesnt need any more folk discovering it. Its doing quite nicely, thanks.

The brewing history in Crail, as in St Monans, Pittenween and Anstruther, is quite incredible. There were hundreds of breweries operating here until the late 1700s and, by 1741, there were 27 small brewers at work in Crail itself but by 1887 there was only one left, according to Brewers and Breweries of Fife, by Forbes Gibb.

Today, there are no breweries and only two local pubs. But what great pubs they are: the Golf Hotel, with its dark, cosy bar and cheery bar staff; and the East Neuk Hotel, with its regular live music sessions. Both great places to drink.

Make sure you take a walk down to the beautiful harbour. Theres a wee caf on the edge of the water where you can sit outside with some chickens, and a rug on your knees, if your joints are starting to creak like mine.

From there, head down to the lobster shack with a bottle of booze and some chips, get your lobster cooked and sit on the harbour wall, watching the boats come in, and ask yourself why you dont live here.

Before you leave, get a treat from Barnetts, the local baker. A Sair Heid a cake wrapped in a bandage is my recommendation. It gives me sair teeth, but no a sair tum.

Rum is often the drink of choice among the fishing communities of the East Neuk, and no more so than in Anstruther. You mustnt miss a couple of things here the Fisheries Museum and the famous Fish Bar.

Theyre right next to each other, so do them in whatever order you fancy, but make sure you go, because the Fish Bar has won more awards than Andy Murray, and the Fisheries Museum is only just behind the Museum of Scotland and the Hunterian in terms of showing us interesting aspects of Scottish culture.

Anstruther is also home to the legendary Fence Records, which has played its part in the whisky story. King Creosote toured the world with Dewars, and artists like James Yorkston celebrated album releases with single cask bottlings.

St Monans: home to the popularEast Pier Smokehouse(Photo: Chris Combe)

If musics your thing, then move here youll bump into folk like Malcolm Middleton in the street. Youll probably form a band, and then maybe youll tour the world and long for home.

Some of the things that happen here are unique. The Yellae Deuks Easter duck race, where thousands of plastic yellow ducks are floated down the Dreel Burn, or the East Neuk Dook sea swim at Christmas, and dont even ask about the Beggars Benison

Just up a farm track from the coastal towns is Comielaw Farm, home to a small community of workers. Tom Pigeons design studio, Keny Drewthe stained-glass maker, Sean Dooley the photographer whos published a book with the esteemed Dave Broom Rory the guitar maker and record label Triassic Tusk Records.

In St Monans youll find the East Pier Smokehouse, which Jay Rayner raved about and made too busy. Its only open in the summer months, but its worth putting up with the queues to get your hands on the hot-smoked whole sea bass and the amazing chocolate brownies. I mean really amazing, by the way; if you could see my little chocolate-covered face, youd know how I feel.

The next stop is Leven, not as picturesque, but one of the most important sites in the whisky world. The home of Cameronbridge grain distillery, powering the whisky industry by supplying the base for blended whiskies all over the world and housing Diageos latest experimental distillery the experimentally-named Leven. Fifes importance to the whisky world should never be underestimated.

What about InchDairnie distillery? It popped up as a fully-formed being with nary a word. Maybe because its not on a route that many whisky folk would be travelling.

Theres a nice contrast, though, between the proliferation of roundabouts around the outskirts of a new town slowing us down, the unnecessary extra road signs, the strange names and the world of whisky... Wait a minute. Theres no difference whisky is the perfect partner for a new town.

Innovative distillery: Ian Palmer uses unusual techniques at InchDairnie

InchDairnie is the brainchild of Ian Palmer, and hes made a distillery exactly how he wanted it to be, after years of learning exactly what he didnt want from a distillery. Its clean and looks amazing. Next time Ill try the new make spirit.

Weve not even talked about the most populous areas: Cupar, Kirkcaldy or Dunfermline, or we could be discussing the debt the whisky industry owes to the theories of Adam Smith or the industry of Andrew Carnegie.

The final stop on our trip is the Goth in Cardenden. Tommy Dewar, the scion of whisky marketing, once wrote a book called TheGothenburg Experiment about the radical Swedish pub system which made its way over to Scotland in the early 1900s.

I happen to know about it because a forebear used to run the Goth pub in Fallin. They were community co-operative pubs that were run well, and any profit was put back into the pub and other good things in the locale.

Presumably in the 1980s they died out because The Cure were on their jukeboxes too often for most folks tastes. The Goth in Cardenden is also the first pub that Ian Rankins John Rebus has a pint in... but thats another story. No, really its in a book that Ive read.

The Rolling Stonesguitarist Ronnie Wood has revealed that he refused to undergochemotherapy after a recent cancer scare because he did not want to lose his hair.

The musician recentlyunderwent a five hour operation to have a growth in part of his lung removed.

Speaking to theMail on Sundays Event magazine, Wood said that the possibility ofchemotherapy had been discussed but that he decided against it.

Its more I wasnt going to lose my hair, he said. This hair wasnt going anywhere. I said, No way. And I just kept the faith it would be all right.

Wood also revealed he prepared to say goodbye to his family after the diagnosis. There was a week when everything hung in the balance and it could have been curtains time to say goodbye, he told the mag. You never know what is going to happen.

He revealed that hed been surprised that he hadnt fallen ill sooner after his life of hedonism.

I had this thought at the back of my mind after I gave up smoking a year ago: How can I have got through 50 years of chain-smoking and all the rest of my bad habits without something going on in there?' the guitarist said.

So I went along to see our good old doctor, Richard Dawood, because we [Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts] all have to be checked before we go on tour, and he asked me if I wanted him to go deeper and check my heart, lungs and blood. I said, Go for it.'

Wood told the mag that hes fine now, and will be going for regular check-ups.

He quit smoking before his twins were born in 2016 and is now sober after being in rehab eight times, and having treatment for alcoholism.

On what bandmate Keith Richards thinks of his sobriety, Wood said: He was more bothered Id quit the fags I took Champix [a nicotine inhibitor] for three weeks. That stuff is heavy duty. Makes me sick even to think of it now. I just stopped wanting the ciggies.

Wood is expected to join the band on their No Filter European dates in September.

The Rolling Stones upcoming No Filter European tour dates are below.

9 September Hamburg, Germany: Stadtpark 12 September Munich, Germany: Olympic Stadium 16 September Spielberg, Austria: Spielberg at Red Bull Ring 20 September Zurich, Switzerland: Letzigrund Stadium 23 September Lucca, Italy: Lucca Summer Festival-City Walls 27 September Barcelona, Spain: Olympic Stadium 30 September Amsterdam, Holland: Amsterdam ArenA 3 October Copenhagen, Denmark: Parken Stadium 9 October Dusseldorf, Germany: Esprit arena 12 October Stockholm, Sweden: Friends Arena 15 October Arnhem, Holland: GelreDome 19 October Paris, France: U Arena 22 October Paris, France: U Arena

From ravers sucking spaghetti off one another, to live alpacas strutting around the clubthere's hardly a part of Berlin nightlife that Jess Pastor hasn't caught on camera. Over the past seven years, the photographer has roamed Berlin's most hedonistic parties to document its "animals of the night," as he likes to call them. "In Berlin, people are really awake at night," he tells me.

Pastor started in 2010, by capturing the hazy after parties of the Berlin International Film Festival. Soon, his reputation got him and his camera access to the kind of events that traditionally ban photographylike parties in the King Size Bar (famously tiny and hard to get in) or the House of Red Doors at the Wilde Renate nightclub, which its organizers describe using the key words "sex, hedonism, escapism, and exuberance."

Jess Pastor's latest series, Wild Wolves, brings together his best photos showcasing the hedonistic glory of Berlin after dark. He tells me that what he likes about Berlin nights is that people there have almost no taboos. "You can smell the freedom from every corner," he says.

A NAKED News presenter has bared all from behind the scenes of a swingers party in Jamaica.

Outrageous Carli Bei stripped totally nude to visit the event Hedonism II in Negril this weekend.

She dared to quiz the sex experts on their favourite positions before they volunteered to show her how its done.

Her raunchy interview comes after the whole Naked News team got covered in whipped cream during a backstage game of Pieface on the show last week.

Before that the presenters were filmed snogging lads in the buff in a bid to raise money for charity.

The programme started in 1999 as an English speaking show and now has one based in Japan too.

It was reported to be attracting more than six million viewers at its height.

Current anchors include Whitney St-John, Isabella Rossini and Elise Laurenne.

The male version closed in 2007, six years after it was launched.

The channels Twitter page has more than 60,000 followers and the site even has a Naked at the Movies show for film fans.

Naked News airs six days a week, with 25-minute bulletins showing the women carrying out interviews and presenting the big news stories of the day completely starkers.

Earlier this month the presentersmesmerised viewers with their fancy moves doing an Irish jig.

One Reddit user pondered: Certainly the first time Ive sat through an entire hour of Irish dancing.

Eric Rubin Brings The Troubadour's Mustache to Redwood City in August - Broadway World

We stay in the legendary Hotel Les Bains to get a glimpse of where the worlds glitterati go to bathe in excess, and what the establishment has to offer those seeking respite today.

They have condoms in the mini bar.

My travel partner declares this as I enter our room at Les Bains on my return from a lunch engagement in nearby Saint-Denis. Though amusing, its not surprising, given the hotels past as a watering hole for the best and brightest of many an era. The building began life 132 years ago as a restaurant and bathhouse for the bohmes of the belle poque, frequented by the likes of Marcel Proust. It later reincarnated to become the hotbed of 1970s Parisian hedonism: Les Bains Douche, a nightclub with as the name suggests its own pool, that was ornamented by regulars such as Yves Saint Laurent, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Bowie and Grace Jones. Although Les Bains Douche closed its shutters for the last time in 2010, filmmaker Jean-Pierre Marois, whose family has owned the property at 7 Rue du Bourg LAbb since the 1960s, enlisted architect Vincent Bastie and architects and interior designers Tristan Auer and Denis Montel to create the latest reimagining of the fabled Parisian landmark.

Couched in historic Le Marais in Pariss third arrondissement, Les Bains is an imposing Haussmann-era building designed by Eugne Ewald in 1885, and has retained elements of its legacy as the pleasure dome of multiple eras. Bacchus the Greek god of wine and intoxication still rears his head above the entrance archway, and is embossed on everything from the bed linen to the slippers, the towels, and, yes, the condom wrappers. There are plenty more not-so-subtle reminders that pleasure is to be had throughout the property, and staff do an admirable job of leaving you to enjoy all of it by yourself. The corridor leading to the 39 guestrooms is clad with a replica of the black-and-gold carpet immortalised in a photograph of the great singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg scribbling lyrics in his bathtub. The black doors and corridor walls offer a stark contrast to the bright and airy rooms they lead to, a third of which contain hammams.

References to the hotels rich history do not end here. The rooms have an unapologetically retro vibe. Grey carpeting is juxtaposed against rust-coloured banquette sofas, an homage to Warhols Factory in New York. Guests can warm up for a party using the Marshall speaker that is available in every room. The mini fridge is covered in a black and white check motif, an aesthetically pleasing touch that references the bathhouse tiles of the Philippe Starck-designed Les Bains Douche; and in proffering a complete liquor range its also pivotal in helping to unleash your inner Mick Jagger because, of course, all you need before and after a night of revelry in Les Bains basement club is a bed with superior linen, some booze, good tunes ... and protection.

Should you be more high-brow than high-throttle, you can spend time reading on your rooms Haussmann balcony; we cannot forget that Frances finest thinkers once frequented this establishment, so it stands to reason that books are available in each room for the intelligentsia of our time. Or simply lounge around in the hammam bathtubs if the personal steam rooms are not to your liking luxuriating in the heated bathroom floors and a generous selection of Le Labo amenities. While away the rest of the day in the hotel swimming pool and resurface for a drink at the bar. It is, ultimately, a hotel you do not wish to leave.

For those who have the great fortune of living in the City of Light, or perhaps the lesser fortune of staying elsewhere, there remain a host of delights. On entering the hotel, restaurant La Salle--Manger creates a dramatic first impression. Crimson lacquer coats the ceiling and the sheen is such that the Lalique bar and tables and the black-and-white floor tiles are all flawlessly reflected (breakfast is served in the restaurant until 3pm and dinner until midnight). There are two courtyards that can accommodate those who wish to dine outdoors or bask in the sun with a drink. Alternatively, those wishing to imbibe in a more intimate space can sequester themselves in the Honesty Bar, a chinois-inspired room with stained glass windows and leather chairs.

It would be remiss not to visit La Boutique Les Bains, which, like the rest of the hotel, is a dream to look at, an experimental gift shop that knows its cooler than you. The stripped-down, wood-beamed space offers exclusive Les Bains collaborations that include coffee beans from Parisian micro roaster Belleville Brlerie, swimwear, and La Planche Roulettes skateboards.

However, the main attraction will always be the club, with its legends of the hedonism of yore. Marois was astute enough to include a club in the new space, preserving some elements of the original, such as the voluminous Phillippe Starck-designed white and light blue speckled mosaic bathtub. Taking the stairs down to the basement, one enters the storied cave that once saw Carla Bruni partying before her Dior-donning days as First Lady, when everyone from Basquiat and Warhol to Linda Evangelista and Jack Nicholson cavorted in the steamy pulsing darkness.

The club only opens its doors to the citys glitterati on weekends, but if youre there, why not take a room to conclude your night of intemperance with appropriate sybaritic indulgence?
