There’s a good reason for that. This past Friday, for exam- ple, whatzup.com tallied 3,596 individual visitors, and we’re averaging Ybetter than 2,200 unique visitors per day, up about 50 percent from this time last year. We cannot, at this point, calculate how many people visit the site in a week, but we’re quite certain that it’s substantially more than the number of people who pick up the print version each week. Not that we want to discourage those of you who pick up the print version of whatzup from doing so, but you should check out the website as well. Why? Because we can do stuff on whatzup.com that we cannot do in print – things like providing a complete karaoke and DJ calendar; publishing a movie page that includes all of today’s, or tomorrow’s, or the next day’s movie times at all the movie theaters in the area; providing videos of performances by area bands; pro- viding up to date listings of all the national concerts in the region, not just what fits onto three, four or five printed pages – and that’s just scratching the surface.

  • Spoon Schonebergkonzerte
    KONZERTBÜR O PRESSEMITTEILUNG VOM 08.12.2017 Konzertbüro Schoneberg GmbH Amtsgericht Münster · HRB 3232 USt.-ID-Nummer: DE126111533 Geschäftsführer: Till Schoneberg Spoon www.schoneberg.de schonebergkonzerte 2018 auf Deutschlandtournee „Hot Thoughts“ (2017), das mittlerweile neunte Album von Spoon, ist das wohl mutigste und klanglich innovativste Werk ihrer Kariere, selbst wenn man Britt Daniels diverse andere Outputs hinzunimmt. Mit Respekt für ihre bisherigen Erfolge, die die Band sowohl bei Kritikern beliebt, als auch finanziell erfolgreich gemacht hat, radiert „Hot Thoughts“ doch eben alle bisher vorgefertigten Meinungen über die US-amerikanische Band aus. Das bedeutet zwar nicht, dass es nicht immer noch eine hohe Dichte an einnehmenden Ohrwürmern auf dem neuen Album gibt (es sind ja immer noch Spoon, über die wir hier reden - auch wenn „Hot Thoughts“ das erste Album ohne Akustik-Gitarre ist) – aber ihren textlichen Bogen spannen sie nun von sinnlich bis listig, während sie nach all den Experimenten der Vergangenheit ihren Sound zwischen den Genre-Stühlen gefunden haben. Anerkennung sollte man auch dem Produzenten Dave Fridmann zollen, dessen Magie in Cassadaga, New York der Band noch einen diabolischen Glanz verleihen konnte. Ohne Frage kann man schon die bisherige Discographie von Spoon bzw. Britt Daniel, Drummer Jim Eno, Bassist Rob Pope und Alex Fischel vom Debüt „Telephono“ aus dem Jahr 1996, über „A Serie Of Sneaks“ (1998), „Girls Can Tell“ (2001), „Kill The Moonlight“ (2002), „Gimme Fiction“ (2005), „Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga“ (2007), „Transference“ (2010) und „They Want My Soul“ (2014) als einzigartige Gewinnserie bezeichnen, aber dennoch ragt hier „Hot Thoughts“ als neues, futuristisches Kapitel im Schaffen der US-Amerikaner heraus.
