Farewell Godfather !
The one who was nicknamed the Godfather of house music, Frankie Knuckles, has left us for better dancefloors. I'm shocked as I imagined him much younger... still, he was only 59. Born in the Bronx in 1955, he became a DJ in the early 1970s with his friend...

Across 110th song...
In December 1997, I lived one of those life changing moment when a decision you take will certainly change (un peu, beaucoup, passionément) your life. Packed my bag and my hopes, landed in London Heathrow and took a coach to Oxford. A couple of minutes...

A little pink spot, slowing moving back atop of a black speeding car. Something in the way she moves... What a cruel and sick parallel I came across this morning. After all, aren't we all little helpless pink spots, not able to stop the slow/fast killing...

En anglais !
ICI BERLIN is already five years old... and it now speaks English. Stay tuned for some ranting about life, laugh, death, universe, music and funny cats videos. In the meantime have some chocolate ! Mmmmh ! Yummy. Now let's hope I'll find something interesting...

The solitude of the Radio DJ
I would like to play this bizarre recording. This is about ten years old and features the BBC Radio Leeds morning show host John Boyd. Unfortunately for him, he has pressed the wrong button on the desk and has ended up patching his microphone to his headphones....
