No means no - under the motto of the new education campaign to raise awareness of sexual violence in clubs and discos as well as the problem of knock-out drops. The local women's distress call, the youth culture work and a Munich cultural center have initiated the action - only the municipal police shows little inclination to cooperate and writes to the victims of assaults considerable Mischuld: Too much alcohol (especially for women) favoring sexual harassment.
Here is the press release from the Green Youth Munich:
Victim Blaming in the Munich police
In the Süddeutsche Zeitung, 27.02.2012 of the new poster and flyer campaign to raise awareness of sexual violence in clubs and the problem of knock-out drops reported. A cultural center in Munich, the local women's emergency and the youth culture to work with, "No means no 'encourage female guests in difficult situations to say no and to get help. The Munich police supported the campaign is not, rather, Rainer Samietz explained by the Commissariat to fight sex crimes that give women "'insane drinking a lot and then do nothing'. Would be less drunk, you would have fewer cases of sexual assault. "(SZ, dated 02/27/2012)
This explains Charly Roderer, spokeswoman for the Munich Young Greens, "recalls the statement of the Canadian police, who advised women not to be a" dress sluts "to not be victims of sexual violence. Then began the global SlutWalk movement, with the participation of the Green Youth Munich and the Munich Greens also. Rainer Samietz used the same reasoning and advises women to drink less alcohol, instead of condemning the perpetrators.
Dominik Krause, a spokesman added: "That the police in 2012 is still on the blame and perpetrator-victim reversal is incomprehensible. The blame for sexual assault is never the victim. This claim is an insult to all those affected and a trivialization of sexual violence! "
Even Catherine Schulze, Chairman Green Munich, adds: "I am shocked at the statement by Rainer Samietz: Victim Blaming by a person who works at the police to combat sex crimes at the Munich police, is impossible. For rape and other sexualized assault is the only guilt and responsibility of the perpetrators and not appearance, clothes or alcohol consumption of those affected. I welcome the campaign potential victims to give advice, but also would like a campaign aimed at potential perpetrators! And it looks like, the Munich police can then take part in a campaign to have the same gender sensitization. As a first party, I suggest Rainer Samietz before! "

Hear the studio version of "Drunk In The Morning '(Lukas Graham)
Week we played over and over Lukas Graham videos that I discussed a couple of weeks ago. These recordings have a special magic but it is undeniable that we were beginning to get nervous as he felt monkey to hear something recorded in a studio. That great time to enjoy an edited and saved, thank God, has already arrived. Need only enter the BETA YouTube Channel to enjoy the hilarious mastered version of that great hit titled 'Drunk In The Morning'.
The thing does not stop there. Digging through the network we have learned that the singer released his debut album in just one month ...!. March 23 is the day we can enjoy the first LP of a guy who is causing the greatest moments of euphoria of the last two months.That rate does not decline, Lukas!

Nada Surf Barcelona (Sala Apolo, 19 February 2012)
The Sunday afternoon can be a sad, especially in this particularly cold winter beset by cuts and reforms. What can turn it around and turn it into a jubilant celebration of good music and oozing good vibes? A direct of Nada Surf, it is. The successful transformation took place yesterday at the Apolo in Barcelona in what was the last appointment of his Spanish tour before embarking for Europe that is causing us so much trouble lately. But how far is the Merkel, Soraya and all his henchmen depressing when Matthew Caws, Daniel Lorca and Ira Eliot ─ accompanied, just as they did last year, Doug Gillard of Guided by Voices and Martin Wenk of Calexico ─ break on stage and among guitarrazos and infectious choruses, make us feel young and invincible again.
As always, they sound more upbeat in the spotlight but, anyway, his latest album "The Stars are indifferent to astronomy" radiates already feeling very straightforward, with immediate issues and easy to be loved as "Clear eye clouded mind "or" Waiting for something ", with which it arrives. But are the strains of "Happy Kid" who tear the first hangover of my heart palpitations, with its warmth, but also somewhat bitter aftertaste that is hidden under this simple and beautiful letter: "I'm just a happy kid , stuck wih the heart of a sad punk ... "
Interspersed with the nice comments Caws and Lorca ─ the charismatic bassist of the national harvest dreadlocks ─ the new songs are combined with other singles from their previous discography. Nearly 20 years on the road go far and despite the many great songs that sound at the Apollo ─ Weightless, 80 windows (deliciously seasoned with the trump of Wenk), Hi-Speed Soul ... ─ is inevitable that others left out. Echo especially miss the great versions of Bill Fox and his penultimate Depeche Mode album "If I had a hi-fi", which has representation only in the hands of "evolution" of Mercromina.
These small absences are more than offset by the wonderful sound "See These Bones" with its delicate start takes you gently by the hand, its bridge crescendo you squeeze it with firmness and gradual glorious final fee you boot directly to run by the city dotted with night lights of the talking the song. "Always Love" brings together the voices of the audience in singing exalted one, already in the second encore, the poignant "Popular" and the always festive "Blankest year" are responsible for closing the concert in style.
A fantastic evening of unpretentious pop simplicity and honesty which is its strength. If the formula works, do not change, and Nada Surf, with magical melodies, near its staging and its ability to arouse feelings accomplices and chants to the surface, it works. Well if it works.

Class and style in 'See It For Yourself' Sugar & The Hi Lows
I write this while I start to dwell on the imminent review of the debut album Sugar & The Hi Lows, musical duo formed by the always brilliant and affable Trent Dabbs Amy Stroup. There is some magic in each and every one of the issues that make a record that is the final twist in particular "Back to the Future" the friend who has lived Dabbs. A clear example of the above? The stylish music video for 'See It For Yourself' that we can enjoy from now through YouTube.
Amy does a wonderful time on this issue but all the fans know that Dabbs was Trent who has injected an extra dose of originality to this new set. This goes way beyond that discrete EP titled "Love You Good" we enjoy the end of last year.Sugar & The Hi Lows have a dreadful class! And luckily it seems that this will not be a mere experiment time.

80th Birthday of French Truffaut
After almost a month now on a new Google Doodle have to wait, it is now time again. The search engine giant Google congratulates François Truffaut's 80th Birthday and honoring the director and actor with a small but fine Doodle. So reason enough to throw a quick look at the image and honor verbloggen some information about Truffaut.
Director, producer, actor and critic
Profile picture directed by Francois Truffaut was born on 6 TruffautFrançois Born in Paris in February 1932 and died at the age of 52 on 21 October 1984 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a brain tumor. Truffaut was in spite of his rebellious youth, a brilliant French film director and a noted film critic. He practices but also in acting and worked as a producer. But also by literary works, he could handle himself and perpetuate his constant theme of the children.
He received his works even some awards. Thus his 1959 released film "They kissed and she beat him" rewarded with the prize for the best original screenplay. Other awards include "Stolen Kisses" for Best Foreign Language Film (1969) and "The American Night" as the best original screenplay (1975).
Small but fascinating Doodle
Even if the user has that Doodle nothing great in terms of interactions, sounds like or expect, this little picture falls into the category >> << small but nice.
Google Doodle honoring fascinating of Francois Truffaut
With the gray screen and held in a conspicuous writing, Google hits 100 percent of my taste. At the same time it is thought-provoking. And somehow reflects the Doodle back some of his work and takes the same relation to his childhood.
The illustration shows the young (or childish) Directors, as this is at the beach and looks out like a scene from the movie "They kissed and she beat him" on the open sea. This is strongly reminiscent of the boy who is trying desperately to see at the end of the sea and it defies any constraints and principles of society.
Thus, the Doodle is representative of how the work symbolized also, for the chaotic last days of young Frenchmen.
Addition of Doodle Slideshow
For some reason, Google in the early morning hours, the Doodle has extended and expanded to include a slide show with additional illustrations to Truffaut. Use the arrows you can move it between the three doodles.

So, now I will intervene once the found object event was about time ...;-)!
This wonderful, sad piece of music from one of my absolute favorite folk, singer / songwriter Justin Vernon from Wisconsin, is found on his debut album 2007er Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago again.
His stage name Bon Iver, refers to the French phrase "bon hiver" (good winter), and is also very Sun The songs, all of which arose to go into this quiet, emotional, almost oppressive direction than Justin because of his separation from his longtime friend one winter in the lonely hunting lodge his father retired to reflect on his life ... and just as they sound!
This track is my absolute favorite track on the album and comes across this absolute acoustic version better. If this bearded man in a lumberjack outfit all alone with his guitar and sing, then sits in his high, fragile voice begins to head, but it would be like to take comfort in the arm.
The result is this recording in January 2008 in the "89.3 The Current studios" in St. Paul, Minneapolis.

Open thread: what are your favourite instrumental tracks?
Tell us about tunes where the music does the talking
"Shut up!" sang Kelly Osbourne back in 2002. "I don't want to hear your voice!" Sentiments we can all agree with from time to time. For much classical, jazz and electronic dance music, a lack of words is either unremarkable or entirely standard. But for the majority of pop and rock acts, the singer is usually the focus of a performance.
There are exceptions, of course. In the 70s and 80s prog acts favoured elaborate guitar and synth lines over vocals, and in the 90s Slint, Tortoise and Mogwai showed a generation of indie bands how to make a terrific racket without a singer.
We'd like to know about your favourite instrumental pop and rock tracks, particularly by bands that usually feature a singer. Let us know in the thread below, or add your recommendations to this Spotify playlist.
