Song of the Day: Lovecat – The Sadness
Notes: Lovecat is the electronic solo project of David Haering – former singer of Austrian Rock band Side Effect. You can download this song for free – and a few more on his FM4 Soundpark page.
Viennese singer and actress Madita just released a new album titled Pacemaker. The first single called ET sounds just great but also quite different from her previous work.
Watch the ET video here…
After closing down their shop in Neubaugasse/Vienna not too long ago Goalgetter are also closing their online store. They announced this in a very short note on their homepage:
Rest in Pixel18.01.2010
Liebe Hiphop-Freunde, fast zehn Jahre lang haben wir euch nun mit Vinyl, CDs und was sonst noch dazugehört versorgt. Aber jetzt ist Schluss. Wir widmen uns künftig neuen Aufgaben und schließen den Shop. Keep diggin’ the crates! Peace out, Eure Goalgetter
Song of the Day: Waxolutionists – Flashlight (Feat. Hygher Baby)
Notes: Yesterday I finally got myself the new Waxos album. It’s great.
Just found out that viennese rock band Julia are breaking up. To be clear here, I never was a real fan even though I’ve been to three or four of their gigs over the years (the photo above was taken at Picture On 2006 in Bildein). Well somehow they were always there. Playing festivals, big and small…
In case you’re interested, you can read their statement on the breakup as well as the dates for their good-bye tour on their Myspace blog.
As mentioned earlier this year, a second Vapiano restaurant opened in Vienna. Back then the location wasn’t known yet but of course now that it’s been open: Praterstraße 24-26, 1020 Wien, Austria (see map below).

Finally there is a name – “We Paint Colors” – and some kind of release date (April 2009) for the new Waxolutionists album. Previously the three Viennese DJs/producers had more or less been away for some time, at least as Waxos. They (DJ Buzz, Zuzee & Bionic Kid) were working on other projects in recent years and so their latest album Counterfight was already released in 2004.
Now there are already three singles off the new album. Feet Don’t Fail Me, Flashlight and Dance With Me all sound very nice and feature some great national as well as international artists on the vocals. So we’ll see what else the album will have in store…

If – at times – you feel like listening to some Soul/Hip-Hop/Chillout music (which for me currently isn’t that often), you could tune in to Superfly, a radio station broadcasting on 98.3FM in Vienna as well as streaming over the web. Right now they have The Message radio show.
And by the way the taxi driver who took us home from the last Flickr meet also had this station playing…

Another branch of the international Vapiano restaurant chain is to be opened in Vienna on 28th January according to their website. I know some people who will be excited about that 
Anyway, seems like the new location is yet to be announced.
