The WIRE: "Hailing from Devon in South West England, the producer behind 10–20’s shatter-beats has so far declined to reveal his real name. But his dexterity with handling huge chunks of machine-tooled sound and coarsely chopped samples were very much in evidence on his first album for Highpoint Lowlife, 10–20, and on this satellite 7" release."

"Reporter Michael Wigge follows up on the term „Krauts", an uncomplimentary term used to designate Germans due to their supposed exuberant love for Sauerkraut. Wigge explored private and professional kitchens to checked out what's cooking in stewing pots and engaged people eating currywurst at the stand to take a sauerkraut test. "
The Truth About Germany
dw-world.de: "Are Germans really hard-working? Do they really have absolutely no sense of humour? Every week our intrepid reporter Michael Wigge goes out and about to search for the Truth about Germany."
dw-world.de: "World War Two started on 1 September 1939 when German forces unleashed an attack on the Polish garrison on the Westernplatte peninsular on the territory of what was then the Free German City of Danzig, later Gdansk.
But that historical wisdom is not strictly true. The first shots opening Nazi Germany`s war were fired just a few minutes earlier when German Luftwaffe planes launched a ferocious attack on Wielun', a Polish town which had no military or industrial targets of any significance.
For the first time, in a joint German-Polish project, film makers from both countries describe the events that marked the beginning of Hitler's assault on Poland. A co-production between DW-TV and TVP Polonia." Read on

Internationaler Kongress
8. bis 10. Oktober 2009
Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln
"Heavy Metal ist Musik von Männern und Frauen für Männer und Frauen. Aber obwohl unter den Fans heute annähernd gleich viele Frauen wie Männer anzutreffen sind, werden die Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern im Heavy Metal besonders betont.
mhs-koeln.de: "Der Kongress, an dem sowohl WissenschaftlerInnen als auch MusikerInnen und Fans beteiligt sind, widmet sich aus interdisziplinärer und internationaler Perspektive Geschlechterrollen, Geschlechterdifferenzen und -stereotypen in der Musikkultur Heavy Metal. Dabei wird der großen Vielfalt des Heavy Metal Rechnung getragen, die sich in seiner 40-jährigen Geschichte und seiner inzwischen globalen Verbreitung entwickelt hat und sich in einer Vielzahl an Subgenres äußert.
Es wird die erste wissenschaftliche Tagung über Heavy Metal in Deutschland sein und die erste Metal-Tagung weltweit, bei der Gender-Fragen im Mittelpunkt stehen." Weiter
Interview Dr. Florian Heesch
Habe gerade dieses Interview des Dradio mit Dr Heesch, dem Organisator des Kongress angehört. Der Interviewer des Dradio ist wohl kein True Metal Fan, trotzdem interessant. Dachte während des gesamten Interview, es gab doch damals in den 80er Jahren schon Warlock mit Sängerin Doro Pesch oder auch Holy Moses mit Sängerin Sabina Classen, und wer spielt live auf der Tagung? Doro, Holy Moses und Cripper.
br-online.de: "In Andenken an das Universalgenie Wilhelm Reich haben Andreas Ammer & Console aus geheimen Akten des FBI, aus der öffentlichen Geschichte der Pop-Musik und aus anderen obskuren Archiven erbitterte Tracks erschaffen. "Have You Ever Heard Of Wilhelm Reich?" funktioniert wie ein Musical des Weltgeists oder ein akustischer Orgon-Accumulator, dessen Wirkungsweise die Space-Rock-Band Hawkwind einstmals folgendermaßen besang: "I've got an Orgone Accumulator / It makes me feel greater (...) It’s a back brain stimulator / It’s a cerebral vibrator". Weiter
