Alison Arboux



ph: Jonathan Segade

New Stuff: Kanye West



Lauded by Rolling Stone as the best album of the year and 3 songs from this cd are also listed among their best songs of the year list I decided to take the risk.

Monika Hederova

New Stuff: Paul Auster



As usual I got me Paul Auster's newest novel.

Tatyana Ruban

New Stuff: The Wire



I've heard so much about this acclaimed new TV series (which so far hasn't been broadcast in Germany), so I decided to get this first season and see what it's all about.

Kamila Filipcikova

New Stuff: Alex Ross



Alex Ross is a music critic on staff at The New Yorker, and I have been enjoying his contributions in that magazine as well as I have also read his great book The Rest is Noise. This volume is a collection of some of his essays, and I already started reading his piece on Björk.

Danielle Evans

New Stuff: Jimi Hendrix



A birthday gift from Ursula. A great box with 4 cds and a DVD, the first cd collects Jimi Hendrix' early jobs as guitarists for other artists like The Isely Brothers, Kind Curtis, Little Richard, etc.

Carolyn Murphy



ph: Patrick Demarchelier

New Stuff: Four Lions



A surprise birthday gift from Tanja. This seems to be an interesting British black comedy, looking forward to watching it.
