An interview with Josef Rauvolf, the man who brought Beat literature and underground culture in the Czech Republic

by Antonio Baroni

Between the pristine white walls of DOX gallery, people are waiting for the lecture while monotonous noise comes out of a player. Already a hint of warholian style, I guess (the lecture is indeed part of the exhibition Ghosts of Bohemia, about Andy Warhol and other members of his Factory).

@ Wild at Heart

This is Der Schöne Jan, Makke, Benis and Mr C, and we are THE DRIFTWOOD FAIRYTALES, Berlin's first All-Fool Band. The four of us played and still play in some other bands but this is rather boring to speak about here. Still you gotta know, that this is an attempt. An attempt to write simple and good music.

Tracy`O

The project is based on a story which is split in different parts and music structures these pieces. This allows to play between narration and proper songs. This is a memory work and a reconstruction attempt. It is about desire, a restless wandering, an escape, an awakening and a fight. That's the story of human being, man, woman, dreams and beliefs. The quest of the Infinite takes shape through the emotional motion of Tracy'O.

The Other Side of Tolerance (or, why people tolerate a pseudo-dictator)

Is Italy, post the fall of the Roman Empire, passing through its second period of decadence? Who knows? What everybody does know is that Silvio Berlusconi has provoked a lot of different reactions in public opinion, both in Italy and abroad...

Ocean vs Daughter

an informal chat with Flanna Sheridan

by Antonio Baroni

When you hear Flanna Sheridan's sweet and velvety voice opposed to the waterfall of vigorous piano-raindrops and the colourful, warm and thunderous violin and cello flows, suddenly the mysterious name of the band makes sense: their music is like a wide expanse of water that can be sometimes quiet and sometimes stormy, nevertheless the sound is always clean, defined, and it's not hard to imagine Flanna as one of the Nereids, the nymphs that accompanied Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea.

Drunk Driving German Bishop Resigns

Over the weekend, the head of the Protestant church in Germany was caught drunk driving. While German commentators condemned Margot Kässmann's actions, most did not feel that she should lose her job. Nevertheless on Wednesday it became clear that the bishop felt her position was untenable.
