Der musikalisch rote Faden dieser Mischung liegt irgendwo im Gras zwischen Vintage Jazz, Blues und Folk. Thematisch geht es in allen Songs um Drogen, Alkohol, Sex und Glückspiel. Offenbar also all das, was den Leuten auch damals Spaß machte oder zumindest so wichtig war, dass es in einen Songtext gepackt wurde.
The sheer variety of sounds is astounding. To get an idea, take out your metaphorical blender; add equal helpings of jazz, trip-hop, and swing; add pinches of psychedelia and turntablism; top it off with a few glitches and samples; hit purée, and serve chilled. It goes down smooth, I promise. To cite just a couple tracks:
If the Pentagon decides to pass, it is likely to be described as a postponement. But it is unlikely another exercise would be scheduled before 2015.
Dozens of Israeli Arabs protested in front of the Egyptian embassy in Tel Aviv following clashes in Egypt between government security forces and protesters backing deposed President Mohamed Morsi.
France on Wednesday strongly condemned the ongoing repression and violence in Egypt as security forces clear areas in Cairo occupied by protesters supporting deposed president Mohammed Morsi.

Several charred bodies of pro-Morsy demonstrers are still burning in the streets of Cairo; this morning the army as shot the pro-Morsy demonstrers, killing hundreands of them (groups near to the Muslim Brotherhood speak about more than 2000 deads).

Regional Diplomats Say the Violence Is Worrisome for Middle East Stability; Turkish Leaders Call It a Massacre
The promise of the 2011 revolution has simply never been fully realized, and the final outcome of that revolution is not yet decided. It will be shaped in the hours ahead, in the days ahead. It will be shaped by the decisions which all of Egypt’s political leaders make now and in these days ahead. The world is closely watching Egypt and is deeply concerned about the events that we have witnessed today.
The European revolutions of 1848, a series of popular upheavals that were the most widespread revolutionary wave in European history, affected more than 50 countries but soon collapsed under the repression of military forces loyal to royalties and aristocracies. Nonetheless they sowed the seeds of progressive political ideas that would help shape European history for the next hundred years.

Those who were killed during the “first revolution” — in January and February 2011 — from bullets fired by troops protecting Hosni Mubarak’s regime, have disappeared.
(13.02.2011) „We do not want any protesters to sit in the square after today,“ said Mohamed Ibrahim Moustafa Ali, the head of military police.

The resumption of military aid should be conditioned on the implementation of a credible program of national reconciliation in Egypt, and the empowerment of an inclusive, civilian led government with control over the military and security forces. The U.S. response should be closely aligned with its allies so as to exert the strongest possible influence on events in Egypt to avert a further descent into violence.

Something is looming in the shadows that could help erode our basic rights and contaminate our food. The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) has the potential to become the biggest regional Free Trade Agreement in history, both in economic size and the ability to quietly add more countries in addition to those originally included.

„Es ist für mich schwer, die Verantwortung für die Entscheidungen zu übernehmen, mit denen ich nicht einverstanden sind“, so der Friedensnobelpreisträger in seinem Gesuch nach Angaben der Agentur Reuters.
(30.Juli) „Nach dem 30. Juni hat eine neue Etappe begonnen. Wir korrigieren die Route, auf der die Revolution voranschreitet. Aber Mursi hat einen Misserfolg erlitten und es ist kein Platz mehr für ihn im politischen Prozess. Die Muslimbrüder können hingegen daran teilnehmen und wir unterstützen sie dabei“, so Al-Baradei am Dienstag in Kairo in einer gemeinsamen Pressekonferenz mit der EU-Chefdiplomatin Catherine Ashton.
