Schlemmen in Corona-Zeiten: Hamburger Restaurants mit Abhol- und Lieferservice
Corona-Quarantäne ist kein Grund, nicht gut zu essen. Viele Hamburger Restaurants bieten daher seit Kurzem Liefer- und/oder Abholservice an. Ich habe aufgrund eigener Recherchen und der lesenswerten Liste im Taste-Hamburg-Blog („Mahl anders: Food in Zeiten der Quarantäne“) eine Google-Map mit Empfehlungen zusammengestellt. Ich habe mich dabei auf Nachbarschaftsrestaurants konzentriert; Kettenimbisse, von denen viele ohnehin schon immer lieferten, bleiben hier außen vor.
Durch Klick auf das Slider-Symbol links oben oder Vollbild (die vier Ecken rechts oben) wird die Karte mit Legende angezeigt:

Wie die taz einen „Gelehrtenstreit“ zwischen Drosten und Streeck über Corona zu konstruieren versuchte
Christian Drosten, der Virologe der Herzen 🙂 , äußerte in der Vergangenheit im NDR Info-Podcast ab und zu mal Medienkritik, die auf manche zu dünnhäutig wirkte.
Gestern meldete er sich per Twitter zu Wort – mit einem Beispiel, das ich voll und ganz nachvollziehen konnte:
„I’m only the story of a moment“ – Poets‘ readings in Bollywood Movies
After a long break, this is an interesting new blog post by Hartmut Pospiech.
As a writer of prose and poetry, I am naturally interested how poet’s readings are portrayed in Bollywood. Basically, they are portrayed as musical numbers, but usually with reduced musical arrangements and no dancing choreography. The film which brought that to my attention is „Kabhie Kabhie“(1976). I watched Amitabh Bachchan think up some poetic lines on a walk and read it voice-over, then step in front of the mike and perform „Main pal do pal“ to an enthusiastic audience divided into women sitting left and men right, the added attraction is Rakhee Gulzar making advances to the poet while Amitabh sang of the fleeting moment of poetry.
Readings of Urdu poetry are called shayari, and the divison between men and women seems to have a long tradition. In a very interesting article in The Guardian, the author states that Urdu poetry and shayaris have become political instruments against…

Als sich Monty Pythons Terry Jones (R.I.P.) ans deutsche „Ike-Horn-Shin“ erinnerte

Nach Graham Chapman († 1989) hat sich gestern auch Monty-Python-Mitglied Terry Jones verabschiedet, im Alter von 77 Jahren.
In den ’80ern interviewte ich den (Ko-)Regisseur der Python-Filme mal in London. Das Gespräch fand im Monty-Python-Büro statt, in dem ich auch Douglas Adams kennen lernte („The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy“), der hinterher mit Jones etwas unternehmen wollte.

Tolle Ella-Fitzgerald-Doku: „Just One of Those Things“ (#FFHH19)
Eines meiner persönlichen Highlights des diesjährigen Filmfests Hamburg war die wunderbare Doku „Ella Fitzgerald: Just One of Those Things“ (Offizielle Website).
Ich muss gestehen, dass ich mit dem Schaffenswerk der Dame selbst als Ex-Musikjournalist nicht wirklich vertraut war. Mir war sie vor allem durch ihren Kurz-Scat im Song „Birdland“ auf dem grandiosen Quincy-Jones-Album „Back on the Block“ intensiver aufgefallen:

Why India Matters to Spotify, and Why it May Not Deliver
There are two key reasons for such weak uptake to date:
1. Music plays a different role in India:Bollywood and devotional are two of the most widely listened to music genres, neither of which are mainstays of subscription services, nor streaming music consumption in general.
2. Income levels are low:the average per capita income is $553 a month, with the luxury of a music subscription far out of reach for most Indians, other than urban elites. Spotify’s $1.80 price point in India may sound cheap, but relative to average income, it is 9.3 times more expensive than $9.99 is in the US. So, Spotify would need to be priced at $0.19 to be the same relative affordability as in the US, which coincidentally is the price for its day pass.
Warner Music and Spotify have been involved in a rather unseemly and very public spat this week over Spotify’s India launch. I’ll leave for someone else, the discussions of the potential implications of a blanket license for songwriter rights in India for an on-demand streaming service. Suffice to say, the words ‘can of worms’ come to mind. Instead, I am going to focus on why India matters so much to Spotify.
The next one billion, perhaps…
Spotify’s Daniel Ek has made much of addressing the next one billion internet users as part of Spotify’s long-term opportunity. Given the fact that China is effectively off the table for now and that sub-Saharan Africa is probably a generation away from being a major streaming market, India is the key component of that next one billion.
Europe and North America accounted for 69% of Spotify’s subscriber growth in 2018. While this…
