Olympics in the past and present an image

Our blog project "Olympia 7212 - a search for clues" draws to a close. Since Monday we are, 15 students of the German School of Journalism, in search of remnants of '72 Olympics in Munich.

Martin went on to experiment on himself yesterday against Olympic gold medalist Frank Shorter. He rode his bicycle to the old Olympic distance of the marathon runners. Across the Munich city center traffic. Dog tired and quite upset, he came back to the office. Why do you see here.

Verena, the old Olympic muffle is to continue refining the way to tour the Olympic Park. Today will be abseiling from the roof of the stadium. You will fall forty meters in depth, along with a course on her head-mounted GoPro camera.

Laura, Julia, Max and Julius investigate the reasons behind the terrorist attacks of 1972. Yesterday they were in the Metropolitan Police Office, where today the Tatwaffen the assassination of 5 September will be kept.

And is that "The Royal Concept EP" is a small job that former members of Robyn, Veronica Maggio, Tove MRTN Styrke and show us that addictive pop frenzy that makes them so highly irresistible. In fact a matter of only a month since The Royal Concept premiered the video for 'Gimme Twice', a cutting mood "Neon Trees" (but the debut album, not for now) that results as vibran

The entire EP via Spotify you can listen to it right here at the end of that entry. If you go the more danceable pop and sweetened you can not miss the opportunity to discover about The Royal Concept that perhaps are not very innovative, but fun, fun a long time.

Jack White, the limit of the law in the video for 'Freedom At 21'



We enjoyed the surreal world of AG Rojas in the video for 'Sixteen Saltines' and also the transparent simplicity of 'Love Interruption'. Nevertheless we are still missing to see a video clip in which former The White Stripes Jack White desmarcase what it is: one of the best guitarists in the alternative scene. This is fair tribute has been awarded through the video of 'Freedom At 21' where White shows his guitar skills while trying to deal with (seductive) police force.

Hype Williams is the key to this gimmicky music video work so spectacularly. The director is a familiar figure in the Hip Hopera (in fact worked on clips as 'Stupid Hoe' by Nicki Minaj and 'All Of The Lights' by Kanye West) and this leads to monumental productions director, where the figure of see exalted artist to levels that exceed the unsuspected.

Maybe some do not like the video but recognize that it is a time worked at the technical level. Who wants to narrative when a smug Jack White on the screen?

About four meters long, bright curtains that are attached there to achieve a theatrical effect, and an interplay of light and shade that allow draping, ruffles and co.
"The ability to learn surprising location of new artistic interventions is an essential feature of art in public spaces. Replica 'provides a different perspective on seemingly well-known and familiar as the Munich Hofgarten.

Rock In Rio 2012 in Madrid (July 7, 2012)


 

In the middle of absolute nothing rests, in recent years, an invention called The City of Rock. Every two summers, the machine starts up and hosts the macro festival Rock in Rio, that in six years of life in our country (after nearly 30 in Brazil and 8 in Portugal), has taken shape and it is almost a classic. And that which is neither city nor has a lot of rock and is in Rio, but in a sectoral south of Madrid. But his media character, for good or evil, is undeniable.
Criticize him for being more shopping and theme park music event and for bringing artists to Top 40 rock bands. The package of consumerism we buy the ticket is questionable: are things like El Corte Ingles, fitness classes, a Ferris wheel and other attractions that populate the city. Rock, remember. Other amenities not support rise to complaint: free buses (many free buses, not one every hour), artificial turf (and nothing to eat dust), queues and waiting times reasonable bar, bathroom and between concerts and even price lower than the average of the capital. No I comment where I threw the rest of the night after the discovery of the cups to 6 euros ... Some festivals in the area could learn, because at the Rock in Rio almost anything (zip line across the stage and in which was hung enough people, for example, no) works as it should. But that's another story. In the musical, we break a lance for at least last night: only the names that shaped the poster of that last day of festival deserve our attention. And if you like rock, also yours.
The evening was falling when Gogol Bordello came on the scene. Although these New Yorkers may not be as mainstream immigrants to leave in the chronicles that you have read today in the press (or maybe he just played too soon for the chroniclers were to see them), his concert was a party. Perhaps the best party of the day. The Bordello combined their own issues and Balkan (Start Wearing Purple, My Companjera or Wonderlust King) with others that gave them a touch harder. Hard to the point of asking for a circle pit several times (and no one answered, by the way). Apparently, Eugene Hütz begins to deny the ska and gypsy style and prepares material "rock and roll", but for now all that mixture of ska, funk, rock, of so many members and even social discourse ( Immigrated song touched on the theme that 'no human being is illegal') works. And cold beer in hand, brings happiness to the dancers below.
Late at night, and again with absolute punctuality (remember that in Rock in Rio everything works fine) Incubus were going out to play. They opened strong, Privilege and Megalomaniac, just like old times, almost like when they shared the bill with System of a Down and Marilyn Manson and the thing burned cars and ended in total chaos ... This time, after so many years without coming to the capital the thing was quieter. Not disappointed at all, because in addition to this opening, Brandon Boyd delighted us with almost all mythical (Anna Molly, Are you in?, Nice to Know You, Love Hurts or Sick Sad Little World to close), accompanied by others such as In the Company of Wolves and Adolescents, quietest and most recent left and a bit away from Incubus years ago.
But there she was going to see almost everyone was a Red Hot Chili Peppers. And that does not make or eight months that passed through here (played in December at the Palais des Sports). Many repeated quote: No matter when it comes to such heavyweights, with many years of career behind him show stay in shape. Two hours with encores (the only concert that included), hops and almost pine bridges, black and white screens, more than a bass solo, looking to wonder whose bassist and a set list of classics to please staff. Although there were some who failed him (so many years that put them all complicated) were not lacking, among others, Can not Stop, Under the Bridge, Californication, By the Way or Give it Away, accompanied by fireworks in the background to close .
Full Direct Red Hot Chili Peppers Rock In Rio 2012
While with them more than half of the enclosure put an end to the only night this rock Rock in Rio, there were still two hours long it would bring Deadmau5 electronics: from the outside and compared with the rest, capacity languished. Inside, they endured (know that for some, and his attire mouse ears in imitation of the DJ, this was the highlight of the night), did not stop. Nor wonder: Deadmau5 respasó again and again his hits Strobe, Ghosts n 'Stuff, Some Chords and Raise Your Weapon, which now, along with the sexy singer Sofia Toufa, finished animating the matter.
No more fireworks, ended an evening of music and commercially without failure. Back, free shuttle and space for everyone to fall asleep on the way: one of these facilities may not be very rock but at five in the morning, thanks. So within a couple of summers, City of Rock.

Indie guitars with melodic organ riffs, pounding drums make driving and rolling basslines. In the middle of the music is the voice of a charming singer, who is supported by thoughtful background vocals. With stylish compositions and secure a convincing live performance occupied the first place at Mama Jokes House of Music 2011, the newcomer contest MHMK of Munich.
The Tramps Thursday from Munich whiz. They filled in their first concert at the Munich club scene effortlessly 59:1. The music of these four young gentlemen, is the danceable "Kooks"-style, reminiscent of the cool Drive Mando Diao and sometimes even to the early Stones - a bit retro, but its own.
After delivering the first live recorded EP "Green Carpet sessions" with the scene anthem "Summer is Over" is found in ex-Kook Max Rafferty an ardent fan who brings the band as support on his tour. "You're a brilliant band and great guys too" - so what if the master says ...
