UbuWeb Seems like most of the interesting projects i do interviews with i get to know by chance. This time it was some filesharing community where i came across with the movies of Guy Debord (Situationist International). The filename had "Ubu.com" in brackets and this is how i heard of UbuWeb for the first time...

D-I-N-A Some vague plans to go to barcelona in summer 2005 and the research of what doing there brought made me find out about d-i-n-a, "a small decentralized collective whose purpose is to foster public debate about strategies of...

Asschapel Asschapel, just like Darediablo, i never heard of that band before the last gig on their european tour in Nuenchritz, Germany. On that evening they went totally nuts and a friend of mine told me it was even more insane when he saw them for the first time a few days ago...

Darediablo Darediablo, a hell of a band! Never heard of that fellows before they rocked subway to peter in chemnitz on their short european tour and i think most of the people that will read that magazine do share my former ignorance.

dirk baecker [ systemtheoretiker ] in ihrem buch "wozu kultur" charakterisieren sie die postmoderne kultur (die epoche, in der wir uns gegenwaertig bewegen). in ihrer analyse uebernehmen sie aus der dialektik der aufklaerung das diktum von der kulturindustrie, die alles mit redundanz und selbstaehnlichkeit schlaegt...

armin [ x-mist records ] warum gerade x-mist? nunja, vielleicht weil es fuer mich einer der wichtigsten mailorder in deutschland ist, einer der schon am laengsten mit sein unwesen treibt und das ohne dabei immer wieder den versuch zu wagen nicht mit der breiten masse zu schwimmen...
