VIELE GRUSSE VOM KRAMPUS
Last night, Krampus paid a visit to lucky children throughout Austria. Krampus is a demonic companion of Saint Nicholas. St. Nicholas rewards good children with presents, and Krampus punishes bad children with his switch and throws them in the river or into hell. Happy holidays!
Lots of images over at Monster Brains.

DAMMIT, PHIL!
Six more weeks of winter - Stop looking for your shadow!
From CNN-
"CNN meteorologist Chad Meyers, citing stormfax.com, said Phil is correct 39 percent of the time. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration goes even further, saying Phil has "no predictive skill." (editors note: that's BS.)
The tradition behind the famous groundhog goes back to medieval times when there was a superstition that all hibernating animals emerged from their caves and dens to check the weather on Candlemas, which is halfway between the winter solstice in December and the vernal equinox in March.
Seeing their shadows would mean winter would go on for another six weeks, and they could go back to sleep, according to the tradition.
The tradition came to America with the early German settlers who arrived in Pennsylvania."

HYMNS SPHERES
gdmac.jpg)
Absolutely epic album. Keith Jarrett, legendary improv jazz piano player, sits down at a huge baroque organ, the masterpiece of French organbuilder Karl Joseph Riepp, in Germany and creates one of the deepest drone, doom, spiritual records ever. Only currently available as a severely edited 4 track CD - seek out the original 11 track double LP.

SILENT LIGHT
Saw the film Silent Light by Carlos Reygadas today in NYC. The above video is the opening scene. The film is simply incredible. An absolute miracle. I could throw endless praise at this film and is would still feel true to me. The story takes place in a german dialect speaking mennonite community in Mexico. Love is the foundation of the narrative. However, nature takes center stage through gorgeous cinematography. For fans of Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Bergman, and Malick. Or any fan of cinema. Do not miss. Playing now at film forum NYC.

I LIKE AMERICA AND AMERICA LIKES ME
by Joseph Beuys
"Beuys traveled to the United States in 1974 and performed an action entitled I like America and America Likes Me at the René Block Gallery in New York. The action actually began at Kennedy Airport, where friends wrapped him in felt and transported him to the gallery in an ambulance. Beuys then spent several days in a room with only a felt blanket, a flashlight, a cane that looked like a shepherd's staff, copies of the Wall Street Journal (which were delivered daily), and a live coyote. His choice of employing a coyote was perhaps an acknowledgment of an animal that holds great spiritual significance for Native Americans, or a commentary on a country that through its Western expansion had become "lost" America." from Walker website. link.

POP KRAUTS
Here's the most welcome return of the summer music scene - a new album from the Notwist - The Devil You and Me. It's been a long hiatus (5 or 6 years?) since these German's delivered the still fantastic album Neon Golden. This album is a step forward and a nod to everything that makes this band special - stark, sharp, electronic krautrock rapped in a puffy pop pastry.
The Notwist - Gloomy Planets
Great video here for another single from the new album.
