Sarah Palin's nutsiness is an obvious truth marvelled at by most people. Palin's emergence has made the USA a laughing stock across the world. The idea that a stateswoman like [Margaret] Thatcher ... would be used by such a crackpot is simply unseemly. (more or less, from British "The Guardian")

Harry Nutt

Also, immer wenn ich - z.B. im Perlentaucher - den Namen des sicherlich verdienstvollen Journalisten der Frankfurter Rundschau: Harry Nutt lese, muss ich an die Namen der Protagonisten in den wunderbaren Geschichten von Nick Knatterton denken.

La Vie Electronique

The release of LA VIE ELECTRONIQUE 10 is announced for late June 2011. The three discs contain recordings from the years 1985 to '92, from concerts, as well as studio recordings and two soundtracks. And a ten-minute BONUS track not released before, from a concert encore in Aachen, 1985. And a five-minute interview from the Spain tour 1991 as additional bonus. The other tracks were formerly released on "Jubilee Edition", one track on "Historic Edition". The full entry in the official KS website's discography will follow soon.

German Amazon offers already the mp3 download, but: who will really neglect the set's beautiful packaging (by Thomas Ewerhard) with the many topical photos and the stories about all the tracks' origins, as well as Lars Fischer's written contribution "From the Northern Lights of Scandinavia to the Barcelona Sun" in English ...und Deutsch.

...apropos Italien

Das Motto in Robert Gernhardts neuem/posthumen Buch lautet:

"Ich habe die Besten meiner Generation verderben sehen
bei dem Versuch, die italienische Seele zu enträtseln."
.
Ob der "Howl"-Bezug von Gernhardt gewollt ist? Ich vermute: ja.
Übrigens... 1971 wurde der Anfang dieses sehr langen Allen Ginsberg-Gedichts auf Ash Ra Tempels erstem Album zitiert, weil Bassist Hartmut Enke es ...schätzte? liebte? nachvollziehen konnte?
.
Apropos Italien: Hoffentlich kommt zur Jahresmitte ausreichend GEMA, um wieder unseren alljährlichen Besuch in Alto Adige machen zu können.
