Busy as a B-Movie star.

Terrible I am! Four straight weeks of working for the tube have kept me away from my blogging duties and if there won't pop up any long breaks induced by excessive rendering of film grain onto noise free colour layers it might take another couple of days until I report back with some of the things that have piled up in the attic. In the meantime you might want to spent some quality time with our all time favourite Reverse Cowgirl and enjoy her latest story, Hardyman.

Just to say I'm still here – K.

Don't steal music. Buy for free.

The waiting has ended! Radiohead have finally unleashed their new album “In Rainbows” to the world! And released their music it is truly. Without the help from one of those bastardeous record labels they’re promoting and selling the album themselves. You can either buy a pure download (for as little as £0,00) or a gorgeous disc box, which is filled with £40 worth of silvery plastic and jet-black vinyl. The demand for these little gems is actually so high that the server’s almost dying from the load and wouldn’t let me buy a thing before I suggested the sadly low retail price of zero pound sterling. So for now I am listening to the new album and once the shop’s running again, I’ll sure as hell pay for their effort to get music to their audience without neither a record company nor drm. Hail the Radiohead!

Worship the TENORI-ON!

Last night I took a mini break from my duties in the motion graphics industry and attended a concert of Berlin-Düsseldorf-based band To Rococo Rot at Munich’s Rote Sonne promoting their forthcoming album “abc 123” (wich will be released on Domino Records in October). Not only was the music highly enjoyable but I also got the chance to get close to their brand new TENORI-ON, Yamaha’s über-cool ‘visible music’ instrument which they've obviously got only a few days ago.

In case you’re living in Berlin you got lucky: there will be one last concert on Sunday night at the Babylon.

Cut & Paste in the City.

Bring your stainless steel scissors and the organic glue: Berlin based company Basteltüte presents us a wonderful collection of papercrafts that let you build your very own little shrine of Berliniana. Their sets include every important aspect of the city from the Fernsehturm to the Döner shops and recently even got blessed with the introduction of the brand new Berliner Tussen – a collection of our beloved stereotypes of native girlies.

The good, the bad, and the artsy.

If you’re in Berlin this week you might consider paying a visit to the Illustrative Berlin 07. This exhibition in the Villa Elizabeth showcases a variety of illustration artists from all over Europe, and as can be expected you’ll encounter the full spectrum from beautiful, sophisticated drawings to outright tacky pixel bombardment.

Still five days to go.

Just a short reminder that the Gilbert & George exhibition in Munich’s Haus der Kunst will end on Sunday, 9 September. So get yourself out of the house and have a look at the art while it’s still in town.
