Dear Berliners,


If you live in the Berlin area and love Nico (may she rest in peace) you are welcome to join the picnic in her memory,
here you may find details.


if you don't, you can still listen to her version of Bowie's "Heroes".

Nico - Heroes.

Le Marquis


Do you recon Donatien Alphonse Francios de Sade had any clue of his future legacy and historic significance?

Or could've predicted the inspiration of his tales of love and lust,
corruption and virtue on the centuries to come? as they live on in the modern era. side by side with marriage, elevators and aeroplanes?

Not all songs about violence celebrate it, some tell us about weakend characters in desperate search of a way out.
but here are a few tales of dominant-submissive, violent,
yet admirably passionate relationships, also, rather astonishing
songs.

Franz Ferdinand - Darts of Pleasure

The Velvet Underground - Venus in Furs (Outtake)

Antony and The Johnsons - Fistful of love (feat. Lou Reed)
