Hydraulic fracturing - also called Fracking - refers to a method of deep drilling for natural gas in the water is pumped under high pressure into dense rock is to release the gas in the pores. In the U.S., this procedure is already used across the board, just tested in North Rhine-Westphalia. For the digestion of a borehole 16-112 million liters of water are needed, where sand and a variety of highly toxic substances are being added. The film shows, among other things, like the poisonous water under high pressure is pumped into the ground water system - with fatal side effects, of which burning is only a tap water.
When the American director and environmental activist John Fox in February 2012 tried to film a session of the Committee for hydraulic fracturing in the House of Representatives, he was arrested. His documentary "Gas Land" was nominated for an Oscar in 2010.
Following the film screening is Dr. Werner Zittel of Germany ASPO (Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas) for discussion.

The heavenly single ride as Passion Pit
The July 23 launch to the market Passion Pit 'Gossamer', an album that will happen on the throne to a "Manners" which surprised both friends and strangers between 2009 and 2010. The band of Massachusetts has invested heavily in this last LP, as its leader - Michael Angelakos - has not been shy in stating that "Gossamer" is a disc "really fantastic, exciting, beautiful, beautiful.". No doubt the words of Angelakos (reasons will have to say so outright in the splendid "look" of their new LP) but listening to 'Take A Walk', first single of this album-length, has led us to think other adjectives that begin to describe the new adventure of these young princes of electropop.
More than "cute" say "heavenly". The "exciting" it would become "delirious". And prescindiríamos of "precious" to enter in the "pack" to a pleasantly "levitation". It is with this set of adjectives with which we would try to describe a single crushing that, while not no big deal, we get more and engage more with every listen. Right, and risky movement, made by these guys from Passion Pit.
Enjoy the studio version and live 'Take A Walk' they did in last November at the funfunfun Fest 2011.

St. Lucia - Closer Than This
My thing with 'Closer Than This' of St. Lucia was love at first sight. You know, like those arising in the metro. Glances, winks and gestures that make us slight sketch a sea of silly laughter (at least those who are still single). In this case I needed to just listen for about 30 seconds of the song to know it was going to be one of the most played on my iPhone in the face of the entire spring season.
A hypnotic effect of keyboard serves as an introduction of a melancholy song in which Jean-Philippe talks about those relationships that sadly never fully consummated. Everything moved with a lively pace, with a chorus that serves as a platform to hold us and so beautiful surf the waves of the U.S. East Coast. That and much more is 'Closer Than This'. See below both the studio version as the two that are in sound on YouTube. The first is insanely good.
Note: Remember that last Friday wrote a lengthy critique / review in which the EP we told you about St. Lucia. It adjuntábamos full disk streaming.

Trailer and details of documentary Dave Grohl on Sound City
Facts regarding Dave Grohl begins to focus more and more in the documentary about Sound City that has been preparing for some months. Initially only knew a couple of notes about it but today we have a small trailer on it, a possible release date (January / February 2013) and some details concerning this anticipated release.
As you know the leader of Foo Fighters is directing and producing a feature film centered on the famous recording studio in Los Angeles that was recently closed. The idea emerged after the time Dave took the Neve 8028 recording console, went to interview a long line of artists and bands who have gone through this study. According to a statement posted on the network's documentary on Sound City will explain the history of this legendary venue focusing on albums recorded there and the impact that music created around the world. At the same time will also include performances by various artists who could possibly be good for Josh Homme, Trent Reznor or Corey Taylor of Slipknot.
Without further ado here we leave you with the trailer and the release of Dave Grohl on Sound City Movie. Just think of this film and we make your mouth water but touch us wait a long (very long!) Months before you can view.

Revolution in the pub
On the penultimate weekend in March, more precisely, from 23.-25. March
came together 31 speakers and about 70 people on Lake Starnberg, within
the framework of the conference to discuss "revolution in the space" of
urbanaut and the Protestant Academy of Tutzing on the new forms of
protest, participation and discourse production between digital and
urban public spaces.
It was the first official weekend of spring, and up to a few rain showers, it has also kept its promise. There would be probably the course of the meeting, the partners of the Munich forum was best described. Based on global events of the Arab spring, the protests in Tunis, Cairo and Benghazi as well as demonstrations of the Wall Street Occupy movement possibilities and challenges of social media and the Internet for the development of participation and democracy have been debated.
In the audience, and also on the panel met pioneers of the digital society to advocate the analog reality. Sun Facebook was just as open data, e-participation and intellectual discussion. Also present were representatives in addition to the Munich policy and administration (including Dr. Blume-Beyerle, Dr. Kueppers, Dieter Janecek, Siegfried Benker) theoreticians of different disciplines such as urban planning, architecture, politics and media studies (eg Dieter Rucht, Hannah Wettig, Anne Roth and Dirk von Gehlen) as well as practitioners and their specific projects (including the resistance of Slobodan Djinovic CANVAS Agency, part of Anna and Denis Bartelt and Peter Kusterer of Next start of the "Smart Cities Initiative" by IBM Germany).
Munich could be summed up in conclusion, that while others with the digital investment offer for the "Perspective Munich" and MOGDY by the city and a few private networking initiatives, the first important steps to be gone, but many activities are still in their infancy and sometimes the digital public space in Munich is still missing. "The revolution is here slowly, probably at the pub ..." (KM Drohsel). It became clear that it requires not only new concepts and a new awareness of the increasing fusion of digital and urban public spaces.
The meeting was organized here by Stefan and Karsten Michael Höffken Drohsel urbanophil.net of live and recorded in real time to read. Or will soon be on www.urbanaut.org.
