DEIN KÖRPER GEHÖRT MIR

Went to Theater An Der Parkaue with Skandinavian Muzlim warrior Daniel Hendrickson to see the great Susanne Sachsse´s fractured fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen´s Die Schneekönigin. The children in the audience turned things into an interactive hootenanny as they shouted out loud to the antics of the characters on stage and were swept away by the resplendid visuals including a most beautiful vision of a green eyed wonder boy portraying the Snow Queen. The Sachsse elite power team of geniuses in the form of Nebojsa Tabacki´s brilliant stage design, the Leigh Boweryesque costumes of Angelika Wedde,Dragan Asler´s choreography and enchanting musical score of kJohnny Blue make this stage production a must see for the upcoming winter holiday season. The celebutants in the audience: Empress Stefanie Schulte Strathaus of Arsenal Inst für film und videokunst just back from Egypt and the Middle East, Nanna Heidenreich with her fabulous sister Dodo and lovesexy mom, Hanna Hurtzig of Mobile Academy, Berlin casting agent suprema Constantine Akmed Berger, Elisabeth Heckel one of the M&M´s from Max n Moritz production from the 2007-8 season and the wonderous Theodora of bbooks kollective who contributed to the Snow Queen production with her lovely video projections.

Here is the CHEAP mailing list note about the Snow Queen from Marcu Siegel:

Liebe CHEAP Freunde,

CHEAPs eigene Susanne Sachsse ist eine multitalentierte Frau, die die meisten von Euch als Schauspielerin kennen. Allerdings agiert Sachsse seit einer Weile auch als Regisseurin, am Anfang im Kontext von CHEAP und danach alleine, und zwar im Theater und Film. Diese Woche gibt es die Möglichkeit Sachsses Regiearbeiten im Theater und Film zu sehen:

1. Heute, Mittwoch, 17. Okt, feiert ihre Inszenierung von der SCHNEEKÖNIGIN ihre Premiere am Theater an der Parkaue. Das Stück läuft im Repertoire im Theater, so es gibt viele Gelgenheiten die perverse neue Interpretation Sachsses anzuschauen. Sachsse arbeitete mit langjährigen Regie Partner Dragan Asler (original CHEAP member) sowohl an die neue homoerotisch-epische Fassung, als auch an die stylistische Inszenierung; mit Nebosja Tabacki (COMMUNIST BIGAMIST, STOFFEL FLIEGT ÜBERS MEER) an dem psychedelischen Bühnenbild; und mit John Blue (COMMUNIST BIGAMIST, CHEAP BLACKY) an die wechselhaft-innovative Musik. Neu zum Regieteam diesmal dazugekommen ist Angelika Wedde (Kostüm Assistant zu Mario Montez bei LIVE FILM), die für die brilliant-MacQueen/Boweryesque Kostüme verantwortlich ist. Theater an der Parkaue ist Deutschlands wichtigste Kindertheater und SCHNEEKÖNIGIN ist in diesen Kontext konzipiert; ein weiterer Beitrag–nach Sachsses STOFFEL, CHEAPs MAX UND MORITZ und CHEAPs DR. SEUSS'S ABC und Tim Blue/Stefan Faupels IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?–zum von CHEAP inspirierten queeren Theater für Kinder und Jugendlichen, was natürlich bedeutet, spannendes Theater auch für Erwachsene, die sich an die gender-queeren Umwertung aller Werte interessiert sind. Mehr noch: die beeindruckende aussergewöhnliche Bilder, die der Regieteam von SCHNEEKÖNIGIN auf der Bühne bringen, sind schwer in jeglicher Art Theater heutezutage zu finden.

Received a bunch of emugs from several people from around the globe concerning my text about Parker Tyler. I sometimes forget that I have millions of readers worldwide, until a particular post sparks a bunch of feedback. Got a nice emug from the legendary underground filmmaker and avant garde godhead Wilhelm Hein. Wilhelm Hein and his art photographer girlfriend Annette Frick have been traveling around Europa with the SRO magnum opus final event You Killed the Underground-the three screen version, which has been attracting hordes of young people who want to feast upon this legends incredible work. Here is what Wilhelm sent me:

I just read your diarie,speaking,and i have to give you a small history lesson: sorry you cant compare:parker tyler,whose work i know very well and also his value in the history of the avantgardefilm u.a.but vito russo was a person from a total different planet,he know definitively the books by parker tyler,but what he did was far ahead of his time.when i was living in new york from 81 to 82,i went to a lot of his monday late night screenings,which were always packed with great people(not like these little borgouis audience in the arsenal for example)he just started to write his famous book,which was a result of these screenings,in one night,i always will remember the silence in the packed room with glamourous peole: BE CAREFUL.A VIRUS IS GOING AROUND,PLEASE USE CONDOMS he was very serious and was talking about the new virus, AIDS was not a topic -nobody knew anything about it.people had to go into the hospital and were seperated like wild animals,who kille people than he becomes more and more involved in the political movement,he came to berlin,a very good friend of my friend manfred salzgeber,who invited him, and spread the information.
also in europe,wher nearly no information was avaluable both activists died very early,but their work is not only a footnote in the history of the art and filmworld or material for small talks

Yours
wilhelm  

Thank you so much Wilhelm and thankx also to everyone else who sent me emugs directly or to my webmaster Larry Bob Roberts or assistants Glee Brevard and Andrea Novarin.

PIERRE AND THE PAMPLEMOUSSE

 

When I was at dinner at the Korean restaurant with film historian Marcu Siegel and Skandinavian Muslim Daniel Hendrickson besides some fervent gossiping the name of Parker Tyler came up.  Mr. Tyler  was an American surrealist, poet and film critic.  He was also a writer for the journal Film Culture and was film commentator for Amos Vogel´s historic film society Cinema 16.  I adore the titles of Parker Tyler´s tomes: The Young and Evil,  The Hollywood Hallucination, Magic and Myth of the Movies,  Dragtime and Drugtime, Sex Psyche Etc., and Screening the Sexes: Homosexuality in the Movies, 1972 which came out a decade before Vito Russo´s The Celluloid Closet. 

Those of you visiting Berlin in the Fall and looking for something to do that looks fun and oh so queer modaliteed:

THE STONES OF MAGGIARE

Sorry dear followers for not having posted anything in ages. After coming back from my little holiday in Bristol England I fell into a deep Autumnal funk over the recent stroke and seizure of my dear old pal and fellow Watts black diaspora ghetto comrade Mrs. Michael Glass. Mrs. Glass was one of the main geniuses behind the famous Amok Books and their celebrated Dispatch Series. Mrs. Glass also edited an amazing tome on Gilles de Rais and is an extroidinary art photographer, installation artist, musicologist and film expert. She also managed the bookstore and was a curator at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions during its heyday in the industrial section of Los Angeles proper in the 1980s. Before I left Los Angeles for Berlin Mrs. Glass fell into hard times winding up homeless sleeping on the metro rail lines and suffering several strokes and heart attacks. Thank god for Jeffrey Hilbert who along with Gary Stella got Mrs.Glass into a nursing care facility in Silverlake and continued to shower him with love and affection. A lot of Mrs. Glass´s fair weather friends that he hung out with during his time as a DJ at Akbar in Silverlake turned their back on him, but Jeffrey and Gary stayed devoted. The prognosis for Mrs. Glass doesn´t look good. The last thing I heard from Jeffreyland is that Mrs. Glass hasn´t gotten worse but he isn´t any better and is bedridden and comatose.
Other sad, sad news is the sudden death of the first Warhol drag superstar Mario Montez. Mario had been enjoying quite a renewal of his career thankx to the Jack Smith-Live Film´Five Flaming Days in a Rented World Festival curated by Stefanie Schulte Strathaus, Susanne Sachsse and Marc Siegel in 2009 that brought Mario out of retirement from the dulldroms of Florida. Mario was a true sweatheart, and though I didn´t know him that well I felt an instant rapport upon meeting him and his longtime companion Dave back in 2009 and subsequent other times we all hung out. Mario Montez was grace and dignity personified, and will be greatly missed.

Got an email sent to my assistant Glee Brevard from some young British pop star named Jake Bugg who wants to do a musical collaboration with me.  Hmmmm.  Been getting quite a bit of emugs regarding my last two performances in Vienna at the Thýssen´Bornemitza Art Contemporary and my performance at the MMK Museum in Frankfurt where I did this intervention as part of the Helio Oiticica Exhibit at the Palmengarten.

Want to give another shout out of warm thankx to some of the lovely individuals involved with making my performance piece Lesbi Tropicalia-Tea & Sympathy such a knockout/sluggo:

Tea Service Collaborateurs: Alexander Bacon, Johanna Raoust and Sonja Kleinod. The junior curatorial staff of love sexy girls in demand headed by the super talented Ms. Miriam Bettin, Marenka Krasomil,Clare Molloy,Marie Beckmann,Nadine Droste,Désirée Hailzl,Yanna Varbanova, Professor Dr. Stefanie Heraeus,Head Curator at MMK Bernd Reiss,Technical support:Filip Caranica , and the gracious Palmengarten crew: Frau Wittstock and Julia Reiter. I will be back in Frankfurt in January for a workshop at the Goethr Universität and later in 2014 I will teach a block seminar at the University at Geisen which is close to Frankfurt which is becoming my second Deutsch home.

Was taken to dinner by Film Historian Marc Siegel and Skandinavian Muzlim warrior Daniel Hendrickson to this amazing Korean restaurant in Mitte called YamYam at Alte Schönehauser Str 6. The food was beyond divine and we later went next door to a little cute café for coffee and cake and our waiter was a pretty little pud of a British boy. Zufukar the juicy Sheik of Araby scholar and politikal acktivist joined us and a delightful time was had by one and all.

VISIONARY EELS

Camel took me to a goodbye Bristol digestive feast at a cute Latin fusion joint called Las Iguanas on my favourite street White Ladies Road. We were surrounded by lots of booty pies and the restaurants hostess was a young tunte with an enormous Dickensian Fagin chin that would do Witchy poo from HR Puff’n Stuff proud. The food was delicious in a Sid &Marty Kroft anime like fashion. Early in the afternoon we had coffee and cake at the Boston Tea Party and counted ginger haired male beauties that passed our little viewing perch near the window. In the morning we ate at the tiny Havana Café which is ruled by a Jurgen Bruning doppleganger tante who was very inquisitive about both the Camel and I asking us a million questions. Too bad the students eating at the Havana were doughy and ungainly, but we did get to see some juicemongers passing our seats near the picture window. Watched the Australian coming of age drama Puberty Blues at Kino Love Camel before calling it a nite taking a bath in Camel's large Edwardian tub. We were going to go to a gay bar, but when we walked by one there was some binge drinker challenging everyone to fight him and some pepperpot Polish man took him up on his offer and they started to slug it out in the middle of the street Fight Club freestyle. Ta Bristol. I hardly got a chance to know ya!

BEHIND THE CAMELABRA

Last night attended the book launch at the Arnofini Museum of Ron Athey’s artist book launch Pleading in the Blood a detailing of the father figures art and performances.  Very intimate group came to see Ron and special guest star Judy Chelsea Manning LaBruce.  Ron is such a love god and one of the smartest, well-read artists on the international scene who has gone through so much in bringing the world his intense and genius vision.  Ron grew up as a child Pentacostal minister in a dust bowl white family living in an inner city LA neighbourhood. Ron’s family were too poor for white flight to the posh suburbs.  My favourite story of Ron’s childhood was that he use to force his older big dicked retarded brother to fuck him.  People who are developmentally disabled sometimes have humongous penises that they don’t know how to properly use.  Ron’s poor brother didn’t want to have incestual relations with Ron, but Ron being such a brat and a horndoggy tween  didn’t take no for an answer and smacked his older brother into complacency and told him to, “shut up and fuck me.”  Ron’s mother Joyce who is schitzophrenic and has been institutionalized for decades is also quite a hornpig, as the caretakers of her mental asylum are always catching her in compromising positions with young Latino gangbangers.  Joyce is in her 70s and still quite hot-to-trot.  So in the Athey household the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.  As part of his presentation Ron showed one of his films he collaborated on with Cyril Kuhn that was filmed in my old streamline modern Korea town flat from the early 1920s.  I miss that old apartment.  My scenes in LaBruce’s Hustler White was also filmed in that incredible building.  The celebutants at Ron’s event last night:  Love Camel Andrea Novarin, Mad Alan the lovesexxxy celebrated illustrated man with tattoed eyeballs who is also a Druid high priest who took Ron and Bruce La Bruce to Stonehenge on the Equinox  for a ceremony he presided over, UK treasure Lois Keidan of the Live Art Development Agency, acclaimed scholar Dr. Jennifer Doyle who will be working and writing in London for the remainder of the year on an academic fellowship, Nikolas Kasinos the beautiful Greek performance artist, and Ron’s major Ms. Gorgeous lover Sage Charles who is the sweetest and personable young man I’ve ever had the divine pleasure to meet and is the perfect companion for my Papa Athey who its easy to see is ravenously in love.  Walking back home from the Athey spectacle I was all aglow as Camel and I strolled down this funny street called WhiteLadies Road.  I feel lucky that I have been staying at Camels cozy and comfy flat with so many hunky young college boys running around.  Camel and I had breakfast back at Café Lido and saw the stunning waiter this time with his clothes on, then we went to Castle Park to cruise and oogle juicy male co-eds, stopped by The Reminder Bookstore and i picked up a paperback copy of the Jon Ginoli book DeFlowered-My Life in Pansy Division which was on sale for the New York bargain price of 40p, Bad Reputation, The Unauthorized Biography of Joan Jett and Gavin Lambert’s On Cukor.  We had some cake and coffee at this little café called The Bird Cage, did more eye candy hairy augenballing and treated ourselves to the most delicious milkshakes and malteds at the Gourmet Bourg House on Queen’s Road-how appropriate.  Correction:  Love Camel’s personal film archive is over 5000 film titles not 2000.  The Camel showed me this great film from 1968 called Girl on a Motorcycle starring Marianne Faithful and Alain Delon and a documentary where Marianne Faithful goes in search of the truth about her Austrian mother and Jewish grandmother during the World War II years.  Also saw this twisted flicker starring a long on the tooth Lana Turner and queeny George Chakiris from 1969 called The Big Cube.

RACIALLY EXHAUSTED

I am in awe of the enormous amount of young beautiful boys in Bristol. I have been doing quite a bit of lighthousing with the Love Camel as we walk the city streets together soaking up the male atmosphere. In the late afternoon we had café und kuchen at this cute little bistro called Lido that is directly across the street from the Camel’s lovely flat. Lido use to be a public bathhouse and has a giant heated outdoor pool that we sat next to gorging on the feast of a humpy young man with one of the most scintillating bodies I have seen in quite some time. He was tall, with dark hair, broad shoulders with muscles on top of muscles and a nice peaches and cream complexion. The man was a KO in no uncertain terms. My John Wayne Gacy glare couldn’t be contained. Watching this hungthrob swim laps was sheer joy. The man was creeped out by us I think because after about an hour he left the pool to get dressed and we discover he is a waiter at the Lido taking a swim before he started his work shift. Camel and I then went to the art house cinema near the university green to see a strange little film called Kelly & Victor set in Liverpool where I will be in November for the Homotopia Festival. The dialect spoken in this film was very hard for an American to understand. The lead actress Antonia-Campbell-Hughes was quite good. She reminded me of the actress who played Salome in the Ken Russell version of Salome’s Last Dance from the late 1980s. I didn’t really like this film as I wasn’t in the mood for something so bleak. Camel and I had dinner at this Asian fusion place called Wagamama that was tasty, then we went back to the flat to peruse Camel’s collection of over 2000 films. We settled on having a mini marathon that included the film Pandora and the Flying Dutchman starring a ravishing Ava Gardner and a young James Mason, followed by Godard’s Breathless and the oddest film I have ever seen in my life called An American Hippie in Israel produced by the former vaudeville star Georgy Jessel from 1972 which the Camel proclaimed as a version of Lord of the Flies as re-imagined by a director possessed by the demon spirit of Ed Wood Jr.

PRALLE EROTIK

I forgot to mention that Ken Norton the Heavyweight Boxing Champion died recently age 70. I will always remember Mr. Norton as the star of the sexploitation film Mandingo playing the hot sexy lead jubas jubilee who white matinee idol Perry King falls madly in love with and wants to chug-a-lug from his treetrunk penilesaurus.
Just got this emug from sexy American Latino shtar Gio Black Peter:ello friends - I hope you are having a wonderful summer. 
I am currently in Europe performing and exhibiting new artwork and would like to invite you and your friends to come. Below are my tour dates- I hope to see you there :)-also excited to announce that the music video "BOX" directed by yours truly has been accepted into the Pink Screen Film Festival in Brussels (November 2013). The video is a new song which I collaborated on with "Nursing Home" frontman Justin Symbol. You can find it here https://vimeo.com/70451531

Love Camel took me for a mega tasty capaccino at this cutesy lil place in Clifton Village called 194 Fahrenheit and then we had a womanly breakfast at the Boston Tea Shop and then we went to a tiny bookshop and i bought a copy of Ava Gardner’s autobiography Ava-My Story, Ivor Novello-Portrait of a Star by Paul Webb and Chaplin’s Girl-The Life and Loves of Virginia Cherrill by Miranda Seymour. I will have a lot of books to take home as Camel has given me these tomes: Sex Lives of the Hollywood Idols by Nigel Cawthorne, Marlene Dietrich by her daughter Maria Riva and Art Deco Fashions-French Designers 1908-1925.



Walking around Love Camel’s neighbourhood we passed through Princess Victoria Street and a stately long block of row houses that outdid Downey Street, and a few steps up a hill and a park was this beautiful suspension bridge that overlooked the picturesque River Devon. I forgot to tell you that Bristol is also the home of Princess Caraboo the fake East Indies Princess from Coventry England times. Phoebe Cates starred in the wonderful film version of this historic story.

DIE WAHLBEOBACHTERIN

In Bristol with the famous Love Camel aka: Andrea Novarin. Camel has been living in Bristol for six months working for the Internet Movie Data Base. His flat is gorgeous with fancifull views in the Clifton neighbourhood near the University of Bristol and believe you me everywhere you look there are hot humpy fit young college boys in various stages of undress. Yummy. Its so sweet of the Camel to fly his Vagimule doll here and treat me to a special holiday. My last vacation was in 2010 when Love Camel invited me as his guest for a week-end get-away to Paris. Its so bizarre for me being in a city and not having to be on or perform. I am not use to just relaxing and doing absolutely nothing. The weather is fab, warm with clear skies. Ron Athey will also be in Bristol to do a book presentation at the Arnolfini Gallery Thursday with a special appearance by Judy Chelsea Manning LaBruce and possibly also Dr. Jennifer Doyle so looking forward to that reunion with all my sweet daddy girls.

Upon arriving in Bristol Camel whisked me off to their one Mexican restaurant called Casa Mexicana in the Redland District. The food was de-lovely and de-lish! Walking back to the Camel’s flat he took me past Bristol’s Melrose Place which was a hoot. Camel also gave me a book called The Naked Guide to Bristol which has a chapter on all the Bristol celebutants that include Cary Grant, journalista Julie Burchill, the girl band Bananarama, the graffiti artist Banksy, John Cleese of Monty Python fame, David Prowse of Star Wars, art shtar Damien Hirst, comedy legend Bob Hope, Sir Michael Redgrave father of Vanessa Redgrave, JK Rowling writer of the Harry Potter series, and Hugo Weaving of Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Matrix franchise. This is my first time in Bristol. Was told that it was like the San Francisco of the UK, but I find it more like Vancouver, Canada with its hilly crests and crevices and pretty landscaping. The first time I was aware of the city of Bristol was from the 1972 film A Day in the Death of Joe Egg directed by Peter Medak(The Ruling Class, The Krays) and starring Alan Bates and Janet Suzman.

Had laundry party with Manuel Schubert to wash clothes before running off to Bristol, England. Don’t want to go on vacation wearing smelly chonies. Manuel was giving me his reflections about the recent elections here in Berlin where Mrs. Angela Merkel has won another term as Chancellor of all Germania. Now its official: Germany has officially turned into a completely conservative country. I predict that before the end of this school year Mrs. Merkel will be involved in a scandal concerning her unorthodox private sexual proclivities and it will be revealed that her Phd In Physics was bought through the internet. Mark my words. Friday I had a belated birthday breakfast with one of my fav Berlin ladies Ms. Nanna Heidenreich who is an utter delight. Nanna is not only one of the senior curators with Forum Expanded section of the Berlinale but she is also an in demand theorist and scholar.

Rising Stars, Falling Stars-We Must Have Music was dynamic Sunday evening at Arsenal Institut fur film und Video Kunst with a screening of the most unusual Indian Tamil language avant garde film Donkey in a Brahmin Village by John Abraham from 1978. The movie had everyone shaking their head and talking including Arsenal Empress Stefanie Schulte Strathaus who will soon be going into hyperdrive with Forum Expanded for this year’s Berlinale with her hot team of award winning curators, also seen and heard: film historian Marc Siegel with the divine actress Susanne Sachsse, Markus Ruff of Living Archive, Jewish Muslim Daniel Hendrickson, artist Simone Schardt, that dancing duo of Trixie Schonherr aka Beatrice Cordua and Dr. Tanja, the brilliant and charming specialist in Russian/Soviet film Barbara Wurm with a muscular young hungthrob, Sebastian Silva the Chilean born director who lives in New York and Argentine lovesexxy filmmaker Matias Pinero.



Earlier Sunday I had breakfast with handsome Landgraf Jan Klesse of Tenderloin who now lives in Leipzig. I adore Jan who filled me in on gossip about Los Angeles where he was in January visiting his beautiful and talented wife Ms. Glen Meadmore. Jan told me some LA gossip but its too explosive to repeat so i have had to censor it.  Sorry.  Its amazing I was able to introduce a film Sunday nite as Saturday evening I was DJane-ing till 5am the closing night party for the Listen Up-Feminist Music Festival at Sud Block. I had a great time at Listen Up! chanting the mantra of Change the Rules. As we all know the Berlin music scene is very male dominated so having an alternative to that is very much needed. The Listen Up Team consisted of sultry Brooklyn musical transplant Miss Leah King, the girls of Ruby Tuesday, Berlin’s Lady Fest, La Moustache and Jenny Cyber Cashy one of my ueber talented former students from when I taught at Weissensee Art Academy. Friday was a concert at Gretchen that featured Noblesse Oblige, Raeuberhoehle, Turkish/Deutsch rapperin Ebow, DJane Bearcat and Hanin Elias the Syrien co-founder of Atari Teenage Riot. The night I DJaned I saw nuanced performances by Mary und Mandy who are two sweet handicapped musicians who reminded me of a German version of the Roaches, a young girl punk band called The Levitations who really rocked out with their double barrelled cocks out, A Thousand Yellow Daisies featuring the Maria Muldair sounding Annemieke on guitar, and Katja von Helldorft/ Cristian Forte of tango band LeiseyLento. The staff of Sud Block really treated me wonderfully including the super friendly bar manager, hot muscle butch sound lady and juicy lighting designer. Ran into Joel Gibb of the Hidden Cameras with Felix Knoke and Landgraf Jan Klesse of Tenderloin, filmmakers Benh Zeitlin and Na Wong-Jin of South Korea and Laura Poitras.

GLANZ UND ELEND DER KURTISANEN

Didn’t know it was Berlin Art Week until i ran into Ali Janka of Gelatin and his lover Babi Papi aka: Gunther Gerdes at the Folsom Street Fair Europa. This version of the Folsom Street Fair is very high on expensive fetish costumes and acting out. Not as raunchy as the Bay Area version where porn models let every Tom’s Harry Dick fellate him in public as part of their charitable mercy sex obligation. Strolled about for 30 minutes or so looking for eye candy but grew tired of all the sex lizards with melting flesh and decided to call it quits. Had a hard time trying to find the Schinkel Pavillion off of Unter der Linden because of all the tedious construction in the area. But it was well worth it to attend the Gelatin discursive construction versus communicative destruction with Anettia Mona Chisa, Lucia Tkacova, Kris Lemsalu, Michael Sailstorfer, Thomas Zipp, Katrin Plavcak, Wolfgang Ganter, Tom Humphreys, Will Benedict, Simon Denny, Daniel Keller, Lucie Stahl, Michelle Di Menna, Karl Kolmqvist, Gerwald Rockenschaub, Anna Ly Sing, and Douglas Gordon. From Thursday till Saturday you can watch the Vienna gang and pals construct their sculptures from 4-9pm with a grand opening Wednesday Sept 25 at 7pm. Thank Jehovah of Armies for the whimsical wonder and splendour that is Gelatin!!!!

This weekend the doll will be DJaning my spinderella mix of femme pop rock slop, indie punky funky,freestyle and disco damageria for the Feminist music festival Listen UP which seeks to change the rules where most musical festivals are dominated by dullard men. Listen UP begins Friday Sept 20th at Gretchen and features performances by Noblesse Oblige who have a new video of a remake of The Eagles Hotel California along with Hanin Elias, Elbow, Raeub Erhoehle and DJ Bear Cat with panel discussions and free workshops and more performances Saturday at Sued Block at Kottbusser Tor with musical sets from A Thousand, Yellow Daisies,Leah King, Mary & Mandy and LeiseyLento. Sunday is Rising Stars, Fallilng Stars-We Must Have Music with a rare screening of the Indian Avant garde film Donkey in a Brahmin Village, 1978 directed by John Abraham.
