Deutschlandfunk
Deutschlandfunk (DLF, ''Broadcast Germany'') is a public-broadcasting radio station in Germany, concentrating on news and current affairs. It is one of the four national radio channels produced by Deutschlandradio. History Broadcasting in the Federal Republic of Germany is reserved under the Basic Law (constitution) to the states. This means that all public broadcasting is regionalised. National broadcasts must be aired through the national consortium of regional public broadcasters ( ARD) or authorized by a treaty negotiated between the states. In the 1950s, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) began broadcasting its Deutschlandsender station on longwave.

This was granted in 1956 and operated as Deutscher Langwellensender ("German Longwave Station"). On 29 November 1960, the federal government under Konrad Adenauer created ''Deutsch ...

Fast Food (album)
''Fast Food'' is the second album by the English singer-songwriter Nadine Shah, released on 6 April 2015 by Apollo Records and produced by Ben Hillier. The album was preceded by the singles "Stealing Cars" and "Fool" and marked Shah's first entry onto the UK album charts at no. 48. Style and artwork The album has been considered as a stylistic continuation of her debut album '' Love Your Dum and Mad'' (2013) which was seen as reminiscient of Nick Cave and PJ Harvey. As said by Jayson Greene in a review for ''Pitchfork'', "while you can’t exactly hear ''Rid of Me'' or ''The Boatman's Call'' resounding in ''Fast Food'', she shares a certain sea-swept melancholy and a preoccupation with power." Often described as containing elements of goth music, ''Fast Food'' drew additional comparisons to the theatrics of Siouxsie Sioux and the guitar work of the band Interpol, the latter of whom Shah has pointed to as a personal favorite. Lyrically, as opposed to the preceding album which l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
