zweitausendeins.de: Statt 50 EUR nur 5 EUR. Douglas Adams erzählt von den Begegnungen mit seltenen Tieren, seltsamen Menschen und oft irritierenden Kulturen. Mark Cawardine liefert für Leser/inne/n und Zuhörer/inne/n zoologische Fakten. Dieses Werk ist alarmierend, informativ und dank des unnachahmlichen Humors von Douglas Adams erfischend komisch. Die CD-ROM enthält sowohl die englische Originalausgabe des Buches als auch die deutsche Übersetzung. Adams liest den kompletten englischen Text persönlich: 6 Stunden und 40 Minuten!
Die CD-ROM kann unter zweitausendeins.de bestellt, oder direkt in den zweitausendeins Läden gekauft werden.
Auch interessant scheint mir das Buch Mitternachtskino zu sein. Kostet beim 2001 Verlag 5 EUR, bei amazon.de zahlt man 25 EUR.

Vinyl on Demand is a label for noise- electronic- industrial- and avantgarde music
signandsight.com: "Maier collects tapes and cassettes of obscure music from the 1970s and 1980s, particularly German music, unreleased musical sketches from the likes of Blixa Bargeld or Gabi Delgado. For Maier "this is material whose influence on today's experimental music cannot be overestimated. This is where everything comes from, even techno, this is the real source of contemporary electronic music. Frank Maier researches pop culture that has not been archived elsewhere. Basically he is dealing with a terra incognita, material that's been forgotten or repressed, the history of its own history. 'In a time when pop music is mainly quoting itself, ' he says, 'the new is to be found in the discovery of the old.' That's why he's been archiving and digitalising his albums and documents. He's archived 100,000 albums on his website, where you can find information on Maier's experience as an extreme collector and on the value of rare albums." In addition, he's founded his own label: Vinyl on Demand."

Mein erster Podcast ! Allerdings ist mir ein „richtiger“ Podcast zu aufwendig, deshalb recycle ich lieber Content vom Deutschlandradio, welcher viele Sendungen als MP3 Dateien zur Verfügung stellt. Ein Pseudocast (meine eigene Wortschöpfung!) sozusagen.
Klickt man auf den Link (unten) sollte sich eine Playlist mit 19 Beiträgen öffnen. Die Beiträge können auf der Homepage des Deutschlandradioauch runtergeladen werde, einfacher geht's indem man die Playlist mit einem Texteditor öffnet, hier findet man sofort alle entsprechende Links.
Vielleicht packe ich nächstes mal noch Musik rein, mal sehen.

villagevoice.com: Collars are up this summer. This is significant, because it's among the few fashion statements that has primarily evil implications. Not a single humanitarian act has ever been committed by someone with a fully upturned collar. No one pops a collar to go volunteer at the women's shelter or pitch in at the soup kitchen. That said, upturned collars can be a cool and intriguing look. There are several theories to explain the resurgence of the style. It could be part of a more general 1980s preppie revival, but this '80s "revival" has been going on in some form or other since 1990. Though there is something to the revival theory—many who couldn't wear their collars up then because of social pressures or the landscape of their confidence at the time, are able to embrace the fashion now. This pattern is similar to the one followed by current devotees of black heavy-metal T-shirts—people who would've gotten whipped for wearing Iron Maiden shirts in 1985 are wearing them now with brio and impunity.
Practically, an upturned collar can protect the neck from sunburn or a slight chill, but fashion is only partly based on practicality. It's more about art and communication—the body as canvas, sending carefully crafted messages. If all we wanted to do was screen the sun, we'd wear moon suits. Or sunscreen. Read more
FINALY!!! A trend that appeared in Germany before became hip in the USA: Upturned collars! But in Germany, most of those "upterners" are students of "business studies" (that's what I think). Also fellow readers from the states, be warned that upturned collars are so 2004 in Germany, all the cool people are pulling up one trouser leg. Don't ask me if you're supposed to pul up the right, or the left one.
npr.org: For the past few years, producer Jennifer Sharpe has amassed a small collection of what she likes to call "foreign tongue recordings." They're versions of hit songs from the American charts, sung by the original artists, usually in German, Italian or French.
The singers learned the lyrics phonetically, line by line, taught by a language coach. Sharpe says the songs were recorded in a time when English-language songs had a tough time making it in Europe

wnyc.org: Paul de Jong and Nick Zammuto collect sounds and phrases from movies, records, and the world around us. They combine those sounds with their cello, banjo and guitar playing and vocals to create an experience that's kind of like music and kind of like a radio play. Recording as The Books, their music is rich with the revealing, illuminating and mystifying magic of collage.
