Gratis Musik aus dem Netz


Musik zum Downloaden ist in, aber teuer: 99 Dollar-Cent kostet ein Song bei Apples erfolgreichem Musik-Greißler iTunes, 88 Cent beim Konkurrenten Wal-Mart. Billiger sind legale Songs im Internet derzeit nicht zu haben - mit einer Ausnahme: Netzlabels. Eine eingeschworene Gruppe von engagierten Musikfans betreibt im Netz professionelle "Plattenfirmen" mit einem kleinen Unterschied: Die Musik ist gratis. Die erfolgreichsten Netzlabels verbreiten jährlich 250.000 MP3s - und sind damit durchaus eine Konkurrenz für die kommerziellen Anbieter.

The Wau-Wau Sisters


have been wooing audiences all over New York and across the land since this sibling duo took the stage together three years ago.Their singular and saucy combination of aerial and circus skills, original songwriting - from country to rock to rap - audacious costuming, "home cooking" and hilarious use and misuse of props, propriety, cocktails and cliche make for a night of careening surprises and titillating fun. Big on talent, tricks and tan lines, they can mix martinis in a handstand, while smoking Pall Malls and thinking impure thoughts! They'll fill your hearts and your bellies, and then some! Always on the run and dogged by a trail of incriminating Polaroids, they take solace in their imagined celebrity, arriving in their hot-pink Buick, matching disguises, and gin-soaked smiles, claiming to feats unmatched and unimaginable acts at every turn. There's no trick these sisters can't turn for the right price!

Canada cool with happy penis song


A song lauding the joys of an "enormous penis" is not obscene because the object of the lyric's affection isn't necessarily sexual, a Canadian regulator has ruled.

The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council was reacting to a complaint from a Calgary radio listener to a joke song that declared: "I've got the cure for all of my blues/I take a look at my enormous penis/And my troubles start a-meltin' away."

Sex with Bjork


"To the one that got away," I said, as I lifted my drink to the heavens.

"Who's the one that got away?" Honza asked.

"Bjork, sweet Bjork."

"That singer from Iceland?"

"Yes, that lovely princess!"

Rewind. We left the Uz Jsme Doma show early. As we waited for the metro to take us back to Prague 6, I saw the sight for my sore eyes to behold. Bjork was there with some of her friends.
