What's going on here is best described by this song:

A film about guitarist John McGeoch (the man behind the riffs of "Spellbound") is in preparation: Johnny Marr, John Frusciante, Johnny Greenwood, Ed'Brien are to feature in it.

A crowdfunding on Kickstarter has been launched to finance the documentary, with goodies  available, and rare personal items owned by McGeoch.

An acquaintance of mine is picking up his future wife from St. Petersburg(!) the day after tomorrow. 🚗 


In the meantime, I'm wondering whether my friend from the Zaporozhye area might be living in Germany (again). Her husband was a member of the Red Army in 1990. Who knows...

A fond farewell to Shane MacGowan (R.I.P.)!

QuoteShane MacGowan, the lead singer and songwriter of trailblazing Celtic punk band the Pogues and one of the all-time great bandleaders, has died aged 65 following a long period of ill health. A family statement said he died at 3.30am on 30 November, and was described as "our most beautiful, darling and dearly beloved".

His wife Victoria Mary Clarke wrote in a statement on social media: "Shane will always be the light that I hold before me and the measure of my dreams and the love of my life ... I am blessed beyond words to have met him and to have loved him and to have been so endlessly and unconditionally loved by him."

Fascinating documentary (sorry, no idea about an English version): it's all in there from King Arthur to Siegfried the dragonslayer, from archeology to medieaval writings...

QuoteDer Mittelalterforscher Emanuele Arioli entdeckt im Jahr 2010 in einer Pariser Bibliothek ein altes Manuskript, das Fragment einer Erzählung. Es handelt sich dabei um die Abenteuer eines Ritters vom Hofe von König Artus, eines Ritters namens Ségurant, der von der bösen Fee Morgan verdammt wurde, einen imaginären Drachen zu jagen. Woher stammt der Text? Handelt es sich um Teile eines Romans, der auf der Artussage basiert?
Emanuele Arioli begibt sich auf die Suche nach den Spuren des Drachenritters. Zehn Jahre nimmt er Manuskripte in Bibliotheken auf der ganzen Welt unter die Lupe und forscht an den Schauplätzen des Mythos, um die Geschichte von König Artus und seinen Rittern, die bekannteste Legende des Mittelalters, zu ergänzen und den gesamten Roman zu rekonstruieren.

Der Film führt in die Artussage ein, berichtet von den ersten dunklen keltischen Legenden, die sich in Deutschland, Großbritannien und Island verbreiteten, und schildert die Blütezeit der Artusliteratur in Frankreich und Italien. Mit der Zeit vermischten sich die keltischen Legenden auf faszinierende Weise mit den nordischen Mythen und Wikingersagen, denen die Figur des Drachenjägers entstammt.
