Tortoise’s “What’s In My Bag?”  Douglas McCombs and John Herndon from post-rock band Tortoise go record shopping at Amoeba San Francisco in this "What's In My Bag?" episode.

Jo flere der får øjnene op for Thomsen, jo bedre Af Peter Krogh Søren Ulrik Thomsens seneste (forhåbentlig ikke sidste?) digtsamling “Rystet Spejl” udkom i 2011! Det er dermed hele 15 år siden der sidst lå en samling digte fra mesteren….ikke at han har ligget på den lade side i mellemtiden. I 2016 kom essayopsamlingen “En hårnål klemt inde bag panelet”, den lille, men fine “Tro mod Ritualet” i 2020 om kristendom og endelig det tankevækkende og umanerligt smukke erindringsessay “St.

Tyske Filmdage Af Kim Foss Tyskland, damals 🇩🇪 I dag, søndag, åbner vi årets udgave af Tyske Filmdage – i København, Aarhus og Odense. For mig er det nærmest en højtid. Min affinitet til alting tysk går laaaangt tilbage. Da jeg afsluttede gymnasiet i 1980, rykkede jeg teltpælene til Berlin med min ven Steen. Dengang skulle man bare tage omkring Bahnhof Zoo lørdag aften og købe søndagsudgaven af Berliner Zeitung, så havde man en lejlighed.

1985: Band merch – is it worth the money?  "It is a con, of course it's a con, the whole thing is a con." Whistle Test's David Hepworth looks at the boom in pop merchandise, which now sees bands like The Rolling Stones making more money from t-shirt sales than record sales. And it doesn't stop at just t-shirts, fans of Liverpudlian pop provocateurs Frankie Goes to Hollywood, for instance, could easily deck themselves from head to toe in clobber baring the band's logo.

Testing Flea’s Music Knowledge Today’s episode of Track Star* brought us face to face with one of the most singular musicians of the past 40 years, Flea. Flea met us outside on a cool day in March and was nothing short of excited to talk about some of the legends whose music he covered on his debut solo album, Honora. Sharing his thoughts on Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, Jimmy Webb, Glen Campbell, Eddie Hazel, George Clinton, and more, Flea dives into the music that moves and inspires him, and shares insights into the lives of the giants who brought that music to life.

Robert Walser Af Asger Schnack Robert Walser (15.4.1878-25.12.1956). Jeg læser Robert Walser morgen, middag og aften for tiden. Jeg har andre ting, jeg også skal passe, men jeg sniger en time ind, en læsetime. For mange år siden fik jeg først én, siden endnu en bog af Robert Walser uden anledning af en ven. For nylig fik jeg uden anledning af en anden ven ligeledes en bog af Robert Walser, faktisk den samme bog, som jeg først havde fået, i en ny oversættelse, ”Spadsereturen” (1917, da.

BYD på vej til Formel 1 REDAKTIONEN Den kinesiske bilproducent BYD overvejer at gå ind i Formel 1. Dette følger de nye regler for Formel 1 fra 2026, hvor der er en 50%-50% effektfordeling for forbrændingsmotorer og elmotorer. Dette ville være den første kinesiske producent i F1, ofte betragtet som kronjuvelen inden for motorsport. Det vil sprede brandgenkendelse samt flytte virksomhedens teknologiske grænser. Selvom BYDs flashopladning kan oplade en bil fra 10% til 97% batteri på 9 minutter, vil ikke alle lande have denne type opladningsinfrastruktur, så i de næste par årtier vil hybridteknologi stadig have en markedsniche. Ved at placere sig i spidsen for hybridracing vil BYD være endnu mere dominerende.

Min podcast er noget, der har bragt mig ægte fred og ro REDAKTIONEN Sam Allardyce har modigt åbnet op om sin mentale sundhed - og indrømmer, at han har søgt støtte, siden han blev arbejdsløs: 🗣️ “Når man er færdig, handler det ikke kun om, hvor mange penge man tjener. Pludselig kan man ikke spille mere. Det er det samme med ledelse, men det er bare med et større ansvar. “Man er ansvarlig for alt, hvad der foregår i klubben på fodboldsiden.

Hash Af Lars Movin DET VAR LIVETS SANDE FARVEeller: NYT BIND TIL REOLEN MED HASH-LITTERATUR Forleden var jeg til en af Det Poetiske Bureaus jævnlige receptioner for nyudgivelser i LiteraturHaus i Møllegade, og ikke overraskende havde jeg en lille stak bøger under armen, da jeg cyklede hjem. En af dem var et fikst bind fra forlagets såkaldte Lommebibliotek: en novellesamling med titlen “Hash”, skrevet af den mig ubekendte tyske forfatter Oskar Schmitz (1873-1931).

Richard Wagner x Georg Baselitz Af Jørgen Herman Monrad RICHARD WAGNERs opera PARSIFAL blev førsteopført i Bayreuth 1882. Og på Bayerische Staatsoper i München overværede vi så endnu en opførelse: med pragtfulde sangere, med en fænomenal dirigent og et lige så fænomenalt orkester, og ikke mindst med pragtfulde dystert-dystopiske kulisser af i dag 88-årige maler Georg Baselitz. Fra vores pladser på 4. række så vi op på en sort og sølvgrå skov, som også var et industrilandskab, som også var et tempel for den hellige gral.
