• www.myspace.com/theturpentinetreacletravelingmedicineshow Sideshow Stephen has been around. Hes been playing allover the place in pubs and clubs, on blockparties, county fairs, cattle auctions and whatnot, participating in all kinds of shindiggery, jamborezation and hootenannery imaginable. On one of those fairs (or was it a cattle market?) He met Professor Freewheelin Ray Gunn for the first time. "It was down in the swamps. This guy just turned up outta the fog, murmured something along the lines that he was a drummer, and that he would be able to give Sideshow Stephens songs that rhythm, whats able to heal" So forces were joined to form the Turpentine Treacle Traveling Medicine Show, aiming to deliver solid entertainment to their audiences, with the convenient side effect of healing all ailments known to man and beast alike. Those guys medicine is a strange mix of howling blues, wailing country tunes and merry folksongs, accompanied by Sideshow Stephens slide guitar, mouth organ or mandolin, with a voice on top that will make you believe what you hear, the whole thing driven by the healing rhythms of Professor Ray G. from the marshland. Original Tunes by Sideshow Stephen are combined with cover songs, which were of some notoriety for the last time in the first half of the 20th century, although even then they would have been considered somewhat obscure. Their repertoire is of a timelessness that stands in relieving contrast to the overkill of trendieness and zeitgeist so dominant in other modern day acts. The Turpentine Treacle Traveling Medicine Show do not aim to rock the house, but to heal what ails ya ***

ZEIT online - Ein kasachischer Albtraum "Borat" entert die Kinos - die Regierung Kasachstans hätte das gern verhindert. Dabei ist der Film für US-Amerikaner viel peinlicher. Eine Bildergalerie mit Texten von Kathrin Zinkant Jetzt geht’s los! Der Startschuss für eine der kontroversesten Komödien der Filmgeschichte ist gefallen: In Hollywood und London feierte der Film Borat – Kulturelle Lernung von Amerika, um Benefiz für glorreiche Nation von Kasachstan zu machen Premiere. Hauptdarsteller Sacha Baron Cohen erschien zur Uraufführung in Begleitung leicht bekleideter Mädchen – und fiel selbstverständlich keine Sekunde lang aus der Rolle seiner Figur "Borat", eines kasachischen Fernsereporters mit antisemitischer und frauenfeindlicher Gesinnung. Kein Wunder, dass die kasachische Regierung zutiefst über Cohens Film empört ist. In den USA wird das Werk ab Donnerstag landesweit in nur 800 Kinos vorgeführt.

LIECHTI FILMPRODUKTION : The Swiss filmmaker Peter Liechti is always travelling. In his films he casts an ironic and critical gaze on his own country, criss-crosses Europe from East to, West and from North to South, or passionately discovers the African continent, On one journey he will be alone. preoccupied with himself and his obsessions, but keeping eyes and ears open for landscapes, colors. forms and unusual encounters. On another, he accompanies musicians, visuals artists or other bright spirits, whom he joins on their adventures, joyfully letting them under his skin and allowing him to develop a different perspective on the world, If one were to try to find a common denominator in Liechti’s work - no easy task - it might be this: the filmmaker from eastern Switzerland understands the cinema as an art form which makes it possible to cross boundaries, in a number of different ways.

Intro - The Notwist: Mediafiles

Amir hatte eine Reihe von Vorsichtsmaßnahmen getroffen, doch es half nichts. Die Asadis erfuhren schnell, dass er seinen Laden verkaufen wollte. Sie kamen zu ihm und fragten zurückhaltend: „Ich habe gehört, du willst verkaufen?“ Weder bejahte Amir die Frage, noch verneinte er sie. „Was du nicht alles hörst“, sagte er nur und schwieg beharrlich. Seinen Ärger zeigte er nicht. Er hatte genau diese Situation vermeiden wollen. Deshalb hatte er über einen Mittelsmann im Bazar die Nachricht streuen lassen, dass sein Laden zu kaufen war. Er wollte alles geräuschlos über die Bühne bringen. Doch das war gründlich missglückt. Die Asadis hatten offensichtlich ihre Informanten, und nun kamen sie, einer nach dem anderen und stellten ihm alle dieselbe Frage. „Du willst verkaufen?“
