Archive.org "Little Shop of Horrors" is one of the most famous B-movie cult classics in film history. Corman and writer Charles B. Griffith purportedly wrote the script over the course of a single evening, writing in all-night Hollywood coffee shops. The film was cast with stock actors that Corman had used in previous films. They rehearsed for three days before filming began.
Principal photography of "Little Shop of Horrors" was shot in two days and one night by Corman, with other material shot over two successive weekends. He used three cameras at once and shot every scene with only one take. As a result, some scenes run continuously for two or three minutes.The total budget for the production was $27,000". Little Shop of Horrors" is also noteworthy for featuring a young Jack Nicholson in a small role as Wilbur Force, the dentist's masochistic patient." Download here
David Keenan, THE WIRE: "Nadler first came to notice as one of the wildcards on last year's Tom Rapp tribute put together by Secret Eye, and as her inlcusion there makes clear, she favours dark folk ballads that reach far into the blackest areas of space. Her debut album Ballads of Living and Dying is a beauty...The LP's back cover fearures some cryptic artwork that looks like a nod towards Current 93's epochal Swastikas for Noddy album, and references to other decadent fantasists and folkloric topes dot the record, culminating in her setting of Edgar Allen Poe's Annagelle Lee for acoustic and electric guitar. Buit it's her own compositions, with titles like "Stallions" and "Box of Cedar", that leave the heaviest afterimages in the air; beautiful hybrids of dark-hearted Bert Jansch-style folk, and drugged, wieghtless psych."

Like his peers, he gained international acclaim in the early 2000s once the French-Canadian city became a hot spot for laptop techno (see the Monteal Smoked Meat compilation), thanks partly to the world-reknown Mutek festival as well as a wealth of Montreal-based record labels."

dradio.de: Was Unternehmen und Regierungen über ihre Kunden und Bürger aus dem Internet erfahren
Wer sich bewegt hinterlässt Spuren! In der realen Welt ist das so, aber auch im virtuellen World Wide Web. Gleichgültig ob jemand E-Mails verschickt, über Suchmaschinen bestimmte Websites sucht oder einfach nur kreuz und quer im Internet surft, Spuren entstehen hundertfach. Und die lassen sich ausnutzen. Unternehmen erstellen mit diesen Daten Profile zukünftiger Kunden, Geheimdienste und Polizeibehörden spionieren das Netz nach Informationen aus, Krimenelle nutzen die Spuren für Betrugsdelikte aller Art. Wie vertrauenswürdig ist das Internet? Wo liegen die Sicherheitslücken und wie lassen sie sch schließen? Die Autoren haben Fachleute aus dem In- und Ausland befragt und waren erstaunt, wie lückenhaft und wenig vertrauenswürdig das World Wide Web tatsächlich ist.
fat-cat.co.uk: "Friends and musical partners since 1992, core members Avey Tare and Panda Bear came together in 2000 with the intention of moving pop music in a direction that would place heavy emphasis on sonic experience. Soon after this, they began operating as Animal Collective, an umbrella name now used for a grouping of four people: Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist and Deaken, who play together under different names and in different configurations (anything between 1 to 4 people), and whose releases are prone to continual musical change: from beautifully skewed pop ballads to fiercely ruptured noise-squalls to tribal rhythmic work-outs to simple folk songs, to who knows where; from fully orchestrated group freak-outs to a the intimacy of an acoustic duo."

<img src="swen.antville.org" align="left"hspace="3"> boomkat.com: "Robert Henke has been releasing music under the Monolake moniker for a staggering 10 years now, originally in collaboration with Gerhard Behles and then on his own. In recent years he has been joined on production duties by the mysterious T++ (Torsten Pröfrock, one of the finest producers of post Basic Channel techno variants under a number of revered aliases) and this is their first album working together on a full-scale basis. What’s remarkable about Monolake is its ability to shift and morph so effortlessly with the times while using more or less the same basic constituent parts. And so what we have here is a collection of spacious, metallic, dub-infused killers that radiate with crunchy and utterly complex beat structures that never veer into academic realms." Read more

nytimes.com: "Actor-director Paul Wegener made three films built around the mythical creature of Jewish legend: Golem was released in 1914, and a sequel of sorts, Der Golem und die Tänzerin, came out in 1917. This is the one film which has survived and is regarded among the landmarks of early German expressionism. In medieval Prague, Rabbi Loew (Albert Steinruck) observes the stars and concludes that trouble is brewing for his people. When the emperor issues a decree threatening the expulsion of Jews from the city, the rabbi, a master of magic, activates the Golem, a monstrous clay figure, to help save his congregation."

bbc.co.uk: "Alva Noto is the operating alias of Carsten Nicolai, who, together with Frank Bretschneider and Olaf Bender, form the musical triumvirate that is Raster Noton Archiv Für Ton Und Nichtton. The label releases a spectrum of electronica that ranges from abstract to ultra-minimal. The roots of much of its output, together with its frequently attractive packaging, might be traced as much to fine art movements like Minimalism and Suprematism as the musical futurism of Detroit techno or Kraftwerk's negotiation of the man/machine interface.
Insen is heir to Vrioon (2003), Alva Noto's collaboration with Japanese multi-instrumentalist Ryuichi Sakamoto. Both represent something of a departure from the ascetic bent of their peers. Both explore the potential for interaction and tension between electronic and acoustic instrumentation, the latter taking form in Sakamoto's piano. This relationship lies at the core of Insen and continues Vrioon's cool melancholia in subtler, even more streamlined fashion. If each part of the marriage were isolated into constituent parts, they might prove too clinical or precious, but together a delicate vibrancy is created. The air-borne reverberations of the acoustic piano combine, impact and dissolve with digital loops, prods and waverings." Read more
