DESERT DRAG

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

Cars! Fire! Salt! Ladies! (Actually, hold on, suspiciously few ladies…) And who could possibly argue with that? For years, photographer Simon Davidson has been documenting the Australian drag racing scene, which seems to be very alive and kicking indeed. (Oh, and thank you for pointing it out.)

PARASTROPHICS

Monday, March 12, 2012

Mouse on Mars, one of my all time favourite electro bands released a new album called Parastrophics. I’ve seen them play live for the first time in 1999 at the old Maria am Ostbahnhof.

Sunday, March 11, 2012

The new Koi Klub happens every month on the 11th, regardless of the day of the week. If that date doesn’t ring any bells, then you just need to look up any news site today to find out why. Because, in many ways, today is the anniversary, even though for Koi Klub it isn’t, but [...]

LLIK YOUR IDOLS

Saturday, March 10, 2012

“Llik your Idols is an intimate survey of a VERY particular time in downtown NYC – the mid 1980s – when the fallout of a decrepit city manifested itself through the psyches of young and wild artists, musicians and filmmakers banging into each other in the scum drenched streets.

LIFE SAVERS

Friday, March 9, 2012

Ten songs that saved your life – sometimes the simple questions can be the hardest to answer. And the simplest answers can be the most revealing: Who would have thought that the artist I love to hate and I share a love for an obscure indie band from the 90s, or that our first ever [...]
