It's an honor to be announcing an important part in austrian mixtape history, now conserved in digital form: Full Of Flavour by long-time-back-in-the-days Rotaug friend Nuszknacker a.k.a. Old-Shepperhand. More than 10 years old now, this tape features some of my favorite tracks, including The Fantastic Four's You're In The Wrong Place or I'm Coming by T-Love and an abolutely crazy Freestyle by MC Serch. This brings back some good memories! Nuff said - GET IT!!! Nutcracker Yo!

Ex Co-Founder of Slum-TV Alexander Nicolic started a new project in Vienna after giving the responsibility for the Slum-TV project to the local members. Another 5 year project? We, hope SO! Together with two artists friends, he took over a yugoslavian worker's bar in the 16th district. Why, yugoslavian? Well, we have more than 200000 ppl living in this town, and many of them came as yugoslavian workers here. Of course the dramatic events of the last decades did generate a division based on ethnical categories, but one is theory - another thing is the every day live of the working class. Nothing is ideal here, but in every day live, in Vienna, these workers still mingle, regardless where they come from. Is it the common language, the austrian discrimination or something else, which hold's them together?
Next to the bar, they opened a space, which they use as a gallery in a way, as rehearsal venue for public space projects, as cultural center, which intends always to include the locals. To generate a social and political space, where academic discourse can meet working class issues. The first exhibition is as well opened. The Beauty of Work, by Andrej Filev is processual and will be closed on 11th of July, with a huge party.
BOEM - Koppstrasse 26 in Vienna's 16th district. Opening hours: daily (6am - 12pm, except sunday and holidays (9am - 10pm)

i just got the first issue of OOO-Magazine some days ago. with an incredibly nice - 5stars - Glen Porter 7inch called "Smile Now, Cry Later" but that's another story.
Anyhow, I flipped through the pages during my last subway and tramrides, looking at the featured b/w artworks (basically located in a graffiti, graphic and comic, ... context), reading the essays (about music, artists, sticker culture,...) and i must say: i absolutely enjoyed it.
Especially a text about John Coltrane and Flying Lotus that is trying to bring up similarities within their individual approaches in making music and what could be a connecting point between jazz (analog) and electronic music. I also found out, that Alice Coltrane was Flying Lotus's great aunt ...
I scanned the first page of the 6, so that you can make yourself a picture. To find out how this story ends. by the way: the size of the magazine is A6, which is perfect for bumpy "rides", cause you still have one free hand, haha. buy it, support it! handnumbered and ltd. 5$ should not make a difference. volume two was released 5 days ago.

Cinemastart of Sebastian Brameshuber's Documentary "Muezzin"! In Cinemas from June 18th. Enjoy it. Very nice movie!
"The sound of the muezzin’s voice calling the faithful to their morning prayers awakens the 11 million inhabitants of Istanbul every day. Despite the fact that many muezzins have been replaced by CD players and speakers mounted atop minarets, there is still great interest in the profession. Each year, Turkey hosts a competition for the best muezzin. Here, we follow it from two perspectives: Habil Ondes, one of the competition judges and a specialist in the call to prayer plus the competition between his two students, Halit Aslan and Isa Aydin, who are trying to advance to the prestigious Pan-Turkish finals."
Screenings Austrian Cinemas: Votivkino Vienna, Moviemento Linz, Schubert Kino Graz,... (24.6.2010 Gmunden)

Our dear friend and Ford Brother Sebastian Brameshuber has spend the last couple of years creating a very delicate full-feature documentary about the muezzin in Turkey. It's an in-depth view on the work and art of chanting the ezan, the call to prayer, and the corresponding annual muezzin competition, whose background is often misinterpreted and sometimes remains a mystery to the outsider, even within Turkey. This feature does a very good job in sheding some light on this often overlooked artform and does so without ever being judgmental. After being invited to some renowned film festivals this year and last, Muezzin finally hits the box office starting June 18th. Here's the trailer to give you a hint of what to expect:
