Whomever the "Lebanese Leftists" are, their sense of design is impeccable

A cleaned up version (by Tarek Chemaly) of the posters on Beiruti walls 

Yes, we all heard about the posters being plastered in Beirut, yes, apparently they may or may not be related to the Hizb, yes, it seems that their design might or might not stem from the Hizb flag, yes, the saying on the said posters (between you and us, days and nights and the battlefield) might or might not be related to the said Hizb again. This being said, what an impeccable design. The poster is signed "Lebanese Leftists" whomever those may be, but the throwback to the early designs of political posters (I invite you to see Zeina Maasri's site Signs of Conflict - here - which agglomerates posters dating back to the Lebanese war from many political parties and organizations) is simply beautiful. Clear signals, minimal elements, striking colors, and single-minded messaging, along with some very respectable typography. Seriously, that is one masterful exercise of graphic design.

In praise of the eternal Beirut5Ampere.

Just in case you were busy with the Baalbeck, Byblos, and Beiteddine, you might have missed this series of awesome concerts offered by the guys from Beirut5ampere.org - namely "Jimmy Almouhandrix" (the engineer in case you didn't get it), Led Zepplin singing "Mar2ad anze" LP tour (too difficult to explain) including the hit single "Sellom bel 3ard" (holding the latter vertically - but also a word play on "Stairway to heaven"). Oum Koulsoum will grace Madison Square Garden in an effort to ease up Michele Bachmann anti-Islamic witch hunt, and Pink Floyd (yes, the old line up) will be doing the audio-visual bonanza of "Dark side of Bhamdoun" including the hits "See Oum Elie play" (as a reference to "See Emily play" - one of the very rare songs along Billy Idol's "Dancing with myself" which tackle the topic of... playing with one's self!) - do note the difference in pricing for Lebanese and Gulf tourists however. These are indeed concerts for the moteur generation.
