I though about calling this piece ‚Manson – Dark Angel of Hippiedom‘, but the word ‚angel‘ somehow didn’t fit. On September 24 there will be / was a special about Charles Manson whose murderous activities lie 50 years beyond. This is the playlist: Mamas and Papas: 12:30 Fugs: Carpe diem (Second album) Grateful Dead: Viola…

Cambridge Folk Festival 2019
2019 was the first time to visit the Folk Festival in Cambridge. In previous years I had been watching BBC documentaries of the festival rather jealously so when I noticed that our holiday in Ireland would start at the fifth of August it was crystal clear: that’s the chance. So here are some impressions from…
My (personal) Mekons playlist
I was asked by Peter from Alice in Kopenhagen to write something about the Mekons. I came around with this playlist I want to share with you: (Titles are linked to youtube files) Dan Dare. 1977-79 were the years where I got to know the Mekons as the different punk band. While songs were getting…

Until 1994 Geeshie Wiley remained virtually unknown, for 64 years she has disappeared – that makes Greil Marcus essay „Disappearence and forgetting“ quite appropriate. During the last twenty years there have been people…
