Return of the Mac

My friend Sascha sent me a preview of the next RC-design and I guess this is the first place where this beautiful new poster is published online.

Besides being one of the hosts of Relaxed Clubbing, Sascha is in charge of all printed matter and promotional texts for this mad weekly partynight. And I think he’s doing a great job.

For the May-issue, Sascha chose a picture of Macaulay Culkin, shot by dirty T. R. about 10 years ago. I remember seeing these pictures for the fIrst time in an issue of FACE magazine, which my friend Flo gave me. I loved them and I still do. And I love Macaulay because of all the drama associated with him. Because I have a soft spot for fallen angels. And because of Sonic Youth.

And: Before talking about May - April isn’t over yet - make sure to see Professor Genius of Italians-do-it-better-fame at RC. He’s gonna play a DJ-Set on Monday 29th. Click here (facebook) for more information.

Here’s some more pictures of the series:

A poster by German band F.S.K.. I bought this last year in december, when F.S.K. played a concert at Palace St. Gallen. It was a wonderful evening with a real nice and interesting conversation with Thomas Meinecke, the singer of F.S.K.. He’s also an author and I recommend his novel Tomboy very much ( I also recommend all records by F.S.K.).

Get Lost

A mix recorded in 2010. I remember drinking some red wine while doing this. I really enjoyed this night. I’ve chosen the title “Get Lost” because a friend of mine sent me a postcard from Vienna, showing an artwork by Tony Martelli. Martelli was asked to design a big poster to be shown in public and he took a piece of yellow paper and wrote “Everyone, get lost!” on it. I liked this postcard very much and I still do.

Leon Zuodar

My dear friends Katja and Piper are into the exhibition-biz again. After last year’s show with Fernando Elvira, they invited Leon Zuodar, an artist from Ljubljana/Slovenia (which is - by the way - on a high rank on my personal “cities I want to see in the near future-list”).

I really liked Leon’s design for the exhibition flyer (click) and though I don’t know him or his work at all, I think that I like his attitude towards things (life, art, capitalism).

Katja & Piper invited me to play some music at the exhibition opening and I’m really looking forward to (because being a DJ for occasions of art is my favorite hobby these days). I intend to play some nice electronica, a little bit of country and hysterical punkrock-songs. And - of course - music by the wonderful Rae Spoon, my current love-affair.

Exhibition opening is on Saturday, April 6th, 8pm at Neuwerk, Constance. Check this for more information.

Starting this sunny Easter Monday with Superioryouareinferior, the 2008 record by great musician/singer/author Rae Spoon. Rae is a transgendered artist living in Montreal. After years of fighting to be called “he”, Rae came out as “they” in 2012. And I think that’s a good idea. “I think the ‘they’ pronoun is a pretty cool thing. It’s letting a lot of people not have to identify as a man or a woman. Whatever it means to them.” (Rae Spoon in Now Magazine).

Over the years Rae’s music developed from country towards a pretty unique indietronics-thing, that I like very much. I’m totally into their lyrics (listen to the song above - Leonard Cohen - Morrissey - Kraftwerk) and I’m curios of reading their first book “First Sping Grass Fire”, a collection of short fiction pieces.

Right now, Rae is raising money in order to cover the costs for pressing some vinyl of their next album “My Prairie Home”. I recommend to make a preorder and support this wonderful artist.

Plus: Buy some other records of Rae. They are great.
And: Download the “thereisafire EP” for free. It features “There is a light (but it’s not for everyone)”, the song from the video above. And did I already mention, that the video is also really great? Because it is!
