Fight For Your Right Revisited
Spät dran hier aber trotzdem geil: »Fight For Your Right Revisited«, das neue Lebenszeichen der Beastie Boys, auf dem Sundance-Filmfest uraufgeführt und damit zurückgemeldet, wie besser nicht geht. Manchmal vergisst man ja ganz einfach, Beastie-Boys-Fan zu sein. »This is possibly the most ambitious, over the top music video ever recorded«, sagt man hier. HOT!
Ban on dancing
Curious things happen these days in Frankfurt, Germany. Based on a law of 1971, it is forbidden to dance in hessia on public holidays like Good Friday, Ascension Day or Whit Monday. Failure to comply is a crime, punishable by withdrawal of the licence for club owners. In the last decades justice was not really rigorous in its interpretation. This status has changed drastically. The head of the Public Order Office in Frankfurt, Volker Stein (FDP), instructed a tougher stance on this law. With consequences. In the future it is not only on paper forbidden to dance on these days and police has already reacted with stricter controls. You can imagine what people here in Frankfurt think about this highly restrictive and bureaucratic advances. Some activists decided to collect signatures for a petition, which is ending soon. Further information can be found in an article of the Frankfurter Rundschau.
Hauschka – Salon des Amateurs
Ganz unbemerkt hat Hauschka unter Mithilfe von Calexico und Múm sein bisher größtes Album veröffentlicht. Dieser Tage kaum zu ignorieren. Meisterlich.
Clams Casino – Instrumental Mixtape
Clams Casino is oh so modern. Named after a Rhode Island seafood dish, his tracks snap and bang in all the right places.
The Joy Of Destruction
A film about the human drive to destroy and the absurd entertaining value that’s attached to it.
