    Berlin - whither should I go?

    You'll problably not believe me, but the Berghain is even greater than the Ostgut. Greater by several miles. Huge space, very rough and industrial, amazing soundsystem, probably the best of the city, and still run by the same people with the same attitude. Wonderful. Different planet. You have...

    Let's say 1960 Like the early Coleman with his pianoless Quartett.

    Tzadik

    Take Masada But if you want to hear John Zorn play Jazz - get one of the Masada Live Albums. The whole identity politics aside: that's great Jazz. In the Ornette Coleman tradition. I discovered them just recently and can't stop listening. Especially "Live At The Tonic" is great. It's Jazz with...

    Coffee is the real enemy.

    Not exactly from the producers but from the consumers point of view: I always felt as if Kruder & Dorfmeister were the ultimate example for Kaffeehaus-Dub. The music hipsters with nothing to do, hanging out in a Kaffeehaus listen to, in order to calm down the upped senses.

    The only future is communist

    Yes, k-Punk, you're right. To me the problem with it seems to be a problem of organisation. I think that the left in a certain way should be glad that a communist party of real significance has ceased to exist, because this form of organisation historically led to forms of totalitarism. But...

    Zizek on US elections

    I don't know. Maybe I'm simply not cynical enough. But I don't like these everything-has-to-become-worse-so-the-real-confrontation-becomes-visible. And what does Zizek mean when he says: "However, in the domain of political organization, Europe is now going much further than the United States...

    Eminem's anti-war, get out and vote video

    So the revolution will not be televised was a Gil Scott-Heron quote and not about the question whether the revolution will actually be televised? Just asking. And I love Gil Scott-Heron. But it's a more than weak argument against the possible political impact of Eminem's new single that it's...

    Eminem's anti-war, get out and vote video

    Hm. Does that mean the revolution is not going to happen or is it going to be carried out by some ultrasecret forces nobody knows about? And if the latter: how are we going to told?

    what are you reading now?

    Ten days ago I finished Quicksilver the first part of the trilogy. Maybe it was the german translation but although i'm a big fan of Stephenson I wasn't really happy with "Quicksilver". I had the feeling it was overambitious. As if he wanted to accomplish too much. Tell the beginnings of modern...

    what if he wins?

    When I said the Weltgeist is against Bush I was just preparing to give a little lecture at a Negri-conference and my head was full of Empire-related stuff - so my thought was that if Negri/Hardt are right then todays capitalism has objectively left imperialism behind. So a government that...
