An einem SpätNovemberMontag in der Sonne auf die Bahn zu warten, und dabei den neusten MyMy Mix zu hören ist sehr angenehm. MyMy gehört zu jenen Namen, welche sich klammheimlich und leise in Dein Kurzzeitgedächtnis einschleichen. Hier mal den Namen aufgeschnappt, dort mal aufm Flyer gelesen. Dann kommen Gesprächsfetzen in den Klubs dazu und das typische “Kennste schon…?” Wenn dann die Groove in ihrer letzten Ausgabe über die Jungs berichtet, ResidentAdvisor dem Ganzen einen Podcast widmet und man dann endlich mal schnaggelt, dass schon längst ein Playhouse Album am Start ist, wird die Sache ernst und man sollte sich dem Ganzen mal intensiver widmen.
Maybe you did something unselfish honourable to my city, maybe you saved the mayor’s life, maybe you’re rich and influential in my city, maybe you care for neediness, then you propably already got it.
But if you love my city, just like me and you always wanted to have souvenir, even you’re no tourist, only to memory or own an extravaganza-accessoiry we found a way stalking through the grey autumn proudly.
It’s SevenLives, that made our eyes glossy and guide our hand to our hearts. The KEY TO JENA CITY is a souvenir representing Jena and a mammoth-lookalike production process. Now, it’s time for that little piece of metal lolling in several shop windows and waiting for new owners, look for in OrangeJungle or M*shi.
It’s almost like the key to a heart.
It´s always nice to see how things are developing. Especially when people getting their asses up in regions where you think everything is kinda Game Over and it would be better to press Restart. Gera is such a case and the little label Elster Records works hard to get to next level instead of throwing the controll pad against the wall and leave. Soso they lately came out with their third release on which Douglas Greed found its way back to his hometown and released Molly EP. I´m excited about what`s next cause there are still two more guys from Gera on the fast lane of electronic music.
Now it’s 2weeks ago, windows finished their development work on Windows Vista for business clients. You’re private and you’re computing at home, you can count on slipping into Vista soonest on January’07. Advantages you can check on wikipedia, the price is 549,- for “best” vista-version.
I’m rich, i did beta-testing, just for you, if you’re not interested, please don’t read on.
We tested 2release-candidates, that should’ve been taken, if error-free. That many applications had that hard problems with new windows, especially older programmes, they already aborted while installing. Almost every virus-scanner stepped into beef with it. But implying you’re an owner of high main storage and a delicious graphic-card you will be rewarded with a user-friendliness with 9pts of 10. In course of time release-candidate #1 was improved. E.g. Office 2007 Beta started working, we fell into jubilation. Another (Dis-)Advantage of Vista is it got no volume-licences, as e.g. XP got. That signifies no one is that soft able to install Vista on his private primary and secondary PC.
Our recommendation is, if you absolutly need and want to have Vista you better upgrade your XP Professional to Vista Professional. Or you take the Basic Version, it’s just about 159,-
In Jena wird seit geraumer Zeit an der Revitalisierung des knapp am “Unwort des Jahres 1998″ gescheiterten Wortes Rave gebastelt. Dabei sollen die vier Buchstaben aus seinem Neonoufit-Kuhfellhosen-Loveparade-Image befreit, und dessen Aussprache ohne beschämtes zur Seite gucken gewährleistet, werden. Das ist doch mal ein Statement. Als kleinen nostalgischen Leckerbissen gibt es auf der Rave Strikes Back Seite (für draussen) ein paar ordentliche Rave Sets zum downloaden.
I know, to write about how much I like Banksy is an old shoe but fuck it I love him! Check out his new films on how to kick bored museum asses and how to bring guantanamo to disneyland…
Mit seiner Bankrotterklärung sorgte das Chemnitzer HipHop Festival Splash diesen Sommer für Aufregung. Nach dem zweiten Jahr Pfützenwetter und ausgefallenen US Acts leisteten die Macher vor ihren Fans den Offenbarungseid und erklärten das Festival für nicht mehr finanzierbar… Das ging ja schnell, hatte man doch eigentlich vorher ziemlich fette Jahre, mit mehr als 30.000 Besuchern, in denen man zukunftsperspektivisch ordentlich Geld ansammeln konnte. Was ist los? Hat da jemand vom großen HipHop Bling geträumt und fällt nun auf die harte Ostdeutsche Realität zurück? Klickt man den Unterstützungsbutton auf der SaveSplash Homepage, kommt man schnell auf den Merchandise Shop des Festivals und wird zum fröhlichen Unterstützungsshopping aufgefordert. Nun stellt sich die Frage, was man da eigentlich unterstützt? Ist das da HipHop? Steht man auf 100 Euro Eintritt? Will man immer größer und mehr? Vielleicht sollte man aus dem Denkzettel lernen, zu seinen Roots zurückkehren, MTV in den Arsch treten und einfach wieder Jams machen. Wenn man HipHop leben will, ist man da eh viel eher aufgehoben als in einem kommerziellen Sommerferienlager. Was meint Ihr?
Stylewalker out of Berlin wrote about this guy S-Boy J. who is a producer from the south. He`s looking forward to make a producer album and searches for people who rap on his beats. And since we kinda got a little plattform for young artists to get their asses on the floor ( hey andi / designmai) i thoughd that i know a lot of good rappers and singers out there that could be interested. So check out his beats and go for it!
Das der fünfte Monat des Jahres in Berlin Designmai heisst, brauchen wir zur fünften Ausgabe des Festivals ja wohl nicht weiter erläutern. Bei den rund 100 Events, Ausstellungen, Vorträgen, Workshops etc. setzen sich Berliner- mit NichtBerliner Designern auseinander und schauen mal was in Sachen Design 2007 so Sache ist. Wer der Hauptstadt seinen persönlichen Stempel aufdrücken möchte, kann sich noch bis zum 24.November mit einem eigenen Projekt unter dem Thema Digitalability anmelden. Dabei soll sich mit dem Verhältnis zwischen digitaler Technik und Gestaltung auseinandergesetzt werden und wie jene welche unsere Umwelt beeinflusst. Wir sind gespannt und werden 2007 sicherlich vor Ort sein.

Zum Geburtstag gibts gleich mal ein CMR Crew Special aus Prag. Big Up nach Leipzig, macht weiter so und Happy B-Day!
I tried to find some words but Cornelius Tittel just got the point:
“The documentary film “Feiern” presents people whose nights don’t stop for 72 hours. Their stories are about tenderness, excess, and self-destruction. About the search for happiness and the fear of being alone. The portrait in 19 conversations, 56 nights, and 13 tracks.
Berlin 2005: Techno has returned underground – and lives more excessively than ever. And once again the city has become the place to be for those who want to go all the way.
“Feiern” shows them getting down – sweaty, dazed, deliriously happy. People who dedicate their lives to music, clubs and drugs talk about their experiences.They tell stories of self-destruction as well as tenderness. And every one of them is about the search for happiness: about that perfect moment of collective ecstasy, about the right record being played at the right time, about talking for eight hours to a complete stranger, who you adopt as your best friend – for the night. Or about how it feels to walk into a darkroom and become “a mere piece of meat, to be used and use others”. The conversations add up to the portrait of a family and make “Feiern” the melancholic homage to a subculture that continues to celebrate until, finally, a simple cough turns into pneumonia, and a blackout leads to psychosis. In Berlin, says Ewan Pearson, a DJ and producer from London, somebody could bang a wooden spoon on a saucepan- as long as you did it in time, nobody would go home. With a smile he advises his friends: “Don’t forget to go home!”. They might not. And rave on happily ever after.”
Happy carnival! I found myself hustling online and melting away recognizing it’s Druckhaft.de started adoring us like the air to breathe. According to the rumors, nothing else than TheFastLife-posters hanging around in Druckhaft-offices and TheFastLife-cups being filled with TheFastLife-coffee made by accredited TheDruckhaft-salesmen from TheFastLife-colony on TheFastLife-continent.
Soso, thank you Hamburg for being that patient with me!
It´s time to remind you.
We’d like to give you the chance to create a Header-image (at present the bubble). The only rule you have to deal with, is the size: 800×117px, and it should contain TheFastLife.org, any way - anything else is free, just let your ice hang outside of your vest, get upon your steely armchair and support us being multiplex.
It’s not just one graphic, that could win, we’d like to use a random-code, that chooses images by hazard! Have fun while preparing & send the results to Mgbf@thefastlife.org / TeenMillionaire@thefastlife.org
