  Four years after the last record "Return to Happiness" and a long break for solo projects and film adventure ( "Palermo Shooting") are Campino, Kuddel, Andi, and from Breiti with the pure and does not always create a spectacular, but homogeneous album before.

What after the first run immediately, the initial absence of a fun or Sauf anthem mark "tens Jägermeister small" or "Walkampf". We wanted so Campino, the songs that are very thoughtful and critical, are not absolute. The T-40-Toten Hosen force has grown up.
The bulk of the 13 pieces used in pushing forward harder pace as in the AC / DC-derivative "part of me." But there are also some surprises: for example, all new interior, "a dense atmospheric journey into Campinos I, accompanied by a singing saw, or" The final battle "as a bow before Ton Steine Scherben.

God knows, I am now university teachers.

When rock stars wither, they go to the university: Johnny Marr, formerly of The Smiths, brought his guitar sound almost 22 years before an auditorium in Manchester to collapse. Marr is now at the old site back Berserker and lectures about the mean the music business.
  As Johnny Marr as a guest in the Maxwell Hall, had the building then be retreaded. 1986 was that, and Johnny Marr, there was still a guitarist with The Smiths. The band was totally in the crowded hall on the upper floor and raised the audience from the very first note moved into ecstasy. The rhythmic pounding of around two thousand feet massively damaged the floor, it threatened the collapse of the theater.
Four years of renovation work lasted until the building at the campus of the University of Salford heard back was to use. Live concerts, however, were also subsequently banned for many years.
On Tuesday evening the guitarist was a guest again in the Maxwell Hall, again in the main hall on the upper floor. It is also this to the last place filled. These are but also the only parallels to that memorable evening 22 years ago. The Smiths have long under the heading "There once was? Filed in rock history, and Johnny Marr is not as a musician on the podium, but as a lecturer in the Department of Music, Media and Performance" of the University of Salford.
Wisdom of a guitar legend
His appeal, known since October last year, had long before this gray and miserably cold November evening made headlines in Britain. Ironically, the University of Salford, in fact, the local stepchild in the shadow of the University of Manchester, had the guitar superhero native fish can. From publicity stunt was then the speech, and the university was placed under, just as it was possible to students in their courses to attract. Not true, says John Sweeney, the Executive Director of "Music, Media and Performance? Department. Again and again, its Department of professional musicians and lecturers from other universities for master classes obliged.
Indeed adorn the list of big names, such as the architects of the verkopften and music producer Robert Fripp and Brian Eno, in the past, guest lectures and master classes were supervised. Nevertheless, even as he initially had his doubts, Johnny Marr told the British newspaper "The Guardian", and for a pure PR action, he would also have been too bad. But "I have in recent years repeatedly with musicians and producers together, the graduates of the University of Salford were. I have with some of whom hold and quickly found out that Salford it is not necessary, to lure students. The demand for the courses is so great that the university students for years must reject. "
In fact, the small university in Manchester's neighboring city of Salford in the past two decades to a British top address in the fields of media studies and Performing Arts moulted. Her new university professor admits some freedoms, such as in an interview with the BBC Radio 4 broadcaster explained: "I like the university, I like the atmosphere and I love the people. Before I met my final decision, I just a little herumgeschnuppert me entertained with students, with future colleagues and ideas developed slowly. The leaders have wisely allowed me to discover myself, as I said in this environment best fit. "
Marr common: "I will let bubble burst"
This has lasted a whole year and now Johnny Marr knows exactly what form he wants to act. "My focus," he told the "Guardian", "is not so much the theory, but the practice. I wondered what my knowledge in the various stages of my musical development would have been really helpful, and I want to know this now my courses. As it is for production and studio work and go to the mechanisms of the music industry. I am quite sure many of the bubble can burst, these myths, by the rather harsh reality of the music scene are still veiled. "
The beginning he makes in his introduction lecture with the cryptic title "Always from the outside: Mavericks, innovators and building your own ark" ( "Always sidelined: querulous, outsiders and how to build their own ark"). Johnny Marr is a good lecturer, his talk is committed, witty and pithy.
That he by the music industry is not too much holding, is also very fast and delivers the clear statement of its seminar title: Never in its history, he claimed, had this from its own resources to create something new, but with its many financial lasting artists compromised . TV casting shows for musicians rejects the Alt-rocker from. There were always outsiders such as Bob Marley, Kurt Cobain or The Sex Pistols have been the popular music have given new impetus.
After the lecture Marr responds to the public on almost all issues. Only if the Smiths asked, after his relationship with their eccentric frontman Morrissey and the real reasons for separation, it is very monosyllabic and draws from. Otherwise, however, the lecture is a resounding success. The lecturers life can begin and the Maxwell Hall has the second appearance by Johnny Marr in one piece survived.

Advertising on bank notes - will be re-rich state.

An artist and lecturer had the idea to students in Stuttgart to put them: advertising on bank notes - that could make the country rich. It began as a finger exercise in design study, stood at the end of the TV teams snake. ONLINE blogs most advertisement shows the banknotes.
  How can mere government revenues, without adding to the tax screw to rotate? The artist Thomas Winkler had given a simple idea, and just fits perfectly into the time falling rates and global recession: money as a medium for advertising, company logos and slogans directly on banknotes. So that you can now not only buy goods but also promote - what the state many billions of euros into the coffers would be flush.

The bill goes so: 1.20 euros per advertising space and month, makes 12 billion in bilateral notes in circulation 691 billion euros, with a maturity of two years - there would be 500 billion euro rescue comprehensive umbrella for the banks a breeze, even if all German money houses were also under the same.
True Winkler also seriously it does not. "It was really just an exercise to Warmmachen," he says. With students of the Merz Academy, a private college for design, he continued the one-day project to as prelude to a one-week seminar for the artists of Berlin in early November as a lecturer went to Stuttgart.
Winkler plays - and surfs on the news flow
The result can be clearly seen: Euro slips from 5 to 500 euros with creative slogans, as well as from the agency capitals could "wash themselves purely black flowers", stands on a 20-euro note next to the logo of a washing powder factory. On another Zwanziger faded the color from right to left, left at the end of the sham white flowers, there pappt the logo of a detergent company. On a 50-euro note shows an arrow on a small island in the Mediterranean, it's a tour operator advertising slogan: "This was apparent yesterday in Mallorca - and where were you?"
Winkler brought the idea that they have implemented its students. What the lecturer wanted from the outset was little more than a finger exercise for aspiring commercial graphic: He wanted to show how the right topics at the right time can generate media hype.
That was very good. A student came to a claim that the real aim of the lecturers supported ideal: "advertising, which guarantees none away." Manageable - or even sexy, as advertisers like to say - it is not. Thomas Winkler is the student artists from the media and knows the logic of the news flow.
"3.5 million contacts in two weeks"
Already at the Olympic Games in Beijing, he had the students design graphics mean, for example the proposal, but swimmers should be a water-soluble capsule with an artificial blood into the trunks stuck. Subtracting the Olympians its track, turn the water red as blood - intended as a protest against the former media topic of the hour, the human rights violations in Tibet. And in early November, matching the financial crisis, presented Winkler with the idea of advertising on bank notes after.
ON THE THEME blogs ONLINEBizarres designer diploma: When the bearded potentates (22.08.2008) Photography: The art with the click (03.11.2008) Fresh Frisian Counterfeit: Ten students printed euro notes (18.06.2008) "How will I ...": Jonathan Meese, art Chaoten with secret language (20.09.2007) Bizarre game: "No pass, no fun" (02.09.2006) emergency money from the twenties when blogs WISSE no luck case was that the news agency dpa the idea apprehended. Thus came the message in the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" and in the editorial offices of private and public law on radio and television. Winkler satisfied summarizes the blog for the seminar "The outcome of our day mission to the November 6" together: radio and television as well as three daily newspapers and ten online media reported about him, his class, and especially on the idea that money on advertising to print.
In the currency of the advertiser expects Winkler before, so had his class' 3.5 million contacts in nearly two weeks "done -" Congratulations! Course existed. " Winkler was pleased the bustle and visits by camera teams in their conference room. "For the students is priceless, to see how something in real expires."
Of course, the idea was fun, he wanted to provoke the action. That was already a concept, which today no longer prefer: "Subversion is consumed," says Winkler. Large companies continued to advertising that does not look like advertising should, and tried with ideas still inclined to score points.
At the end of the university moved the emergency brake
Not only his students learned in this experiment added, Winkler also found out how public messages can act - and that they sometimes assert its independence. As the third camera team at the Academy Merz had been a guest to his students and Winkler's advertising money to film, asked him the leadership of the university, but now it is good to leave.
Another private channel said Winkler from then. In an Internet forum humor, he was released vorgerechnet that its revenue of 700 billion euros could not vote, because the entire advertising industry only a fraction of this amount would implement. Moreover, the idea was not from him and art lecturer windy a plagiarist.
The accusation that he had stolen, Winkler finds particularly funny, because already in the Great Depression nearly 90 years ago printed cities and companies partly emergency money, and took notes on this very seriously advertising. Even in a TV sketch, wrote a man attached to Thomas Winkler, was money as advertising space has emerged.
But if the idea had already, is not a matter of concern and the artist quite unimportant. A year ago, would have his class with the plan, advertising space on bank notes for the rescue of the federal budget to sell, certainly not even in news broadcasts and newspaper columns appeared. The timing, however, has just voted.

Once old and back.

Most people are afraid in front of Aging. At worst they find the idea of a stranger living in the home. Nadine Diehl has volunteered in a nursing bed: The 23-year-old lived 24 hours and the life of a 80-year-olds - and was almost maniacal.
  I'm naked. Vulnerable, vulnerable, helpless. Every stranger is now an enemy. Even sister Kerstin. Gently wringt the washcloth on the blue plastic bowl next to my bed. Water drops trickle into it. I notice that my biggest enemy is not them, but my fear. "So, now I wash down times, Ms. Diehl," says the young nurse Altenberg.

For fear of shame is. For a moment an eternity. "Is it okay for you?", She asks me. "Yes, yes," I lie. Kerstin sister turns me on the side. Directly next to me, it propagates a paper napkin on the snow-white bed sheets and rolls me about it. Glue to seal, trouser high: expedition "old" has begun.
For one day and one night I inhabitant of a Senior home. I want to experience how it feels, and old to be of help. My fictional inhabitants Act provides my life. Nadine Diehl, built in 1928.

An old man feels just as strongly boredom?
Room number 104th The hands placed in the womb I sit on my bed and let his feet dangle. For the first time I have time for me to restrict my right to become aware. The longer I sit, the harder feel in my legs. The lead up feeling wanders into my Zehspitzen. I have the urge to stand up - but I can not.
Gladly, I would now go to lunch alone, but I have to wait until I pick up a guardian. Maybe it still takes half an hour, maybe only ten minutes. The sense of time, I have now totally lost? so no television and no clock. While I wait, I suddenly thought shoot through the head of parties and reduced dancing. Whether an old man are the same things as I spin? He feels as strong boredom?
My head is dancing on, my pulse is proposing to the bar. Someone is knocking at the door. It is Edeltraud sister: "Ms. Diehl, I bring you to lunch," she says. "Put it out please her arms around my neck, so I put in a wheelchair can." Edeltraud sister is a woman with ample graubraunen, short hair and red cheeks. She wears blue and white striped uniforms and a great spectacle in her mother's face. "Stand, stand, stand," they fired me. I try, I'm not too hard to make. Embarrassingly, from a much older woman to help.
I need urgently to the john, but I do not want
"Can they eat alone or should I give you a meal?" Asks my sister Edeltraud at the table in the dining room. Administer. I see how my neighbor table from another nurse soup into the mouth gelöffelt gets. The old woman stares into the void. The mouth opens it only a small gap wide. After each spoonful blubbert half out and drips on their bib. "No, do I still alone," is my answer. What else should really help the needy people think of me?
Back in my room I lie back in my bed. I need urgently to the john, but I will not. Yes, still persevere and the toilet as long as possible delay, talk to me. But it's not longer. I press the red button attached to a cable above my head dangles. I wait and hope the wait would last forever. But after a short time Edeltraud sister stands in the door. For them is what comes now, mere routine. For me it is a new challenge in the fight against my feeling of shame.
"Attention, because now I grabbel a little rum in their pants," says the nurse, while I am at the bar beside the toilet bowl fixed claws. They clasped me from behind and buttons on my jeans. Inwardly, I balk against the help and to take them anyway. I should be grateful, but I'm not. Then my grazing sister Edeltraud pants down and helps me to the toilet rim. "I go now before the door and call us when you are finished," she explains to me. It takes a while until I can leave the water.

Will you ever pop star, baby!.

It began with street music and would prefer singing in Liverpool learned. Today is the singer Judith Holofernes success band Wir sind Helden. In search of Plan B for the anxious father they lost once in the study - and especially learned what she does not want.
  The young Judith shines and sings and plays. You klampft lilts and "Knockin 'on heaven's door", while people in Freiburg pedestrian zone at their vorbeihasten. With 14 years she earned money for the first time with music, with guitar in hand and wildly strange people.

That was then, it is similar to the well today. Only much bigger. Judith Holofernes now 31 years old, married, popstar and the figurehead of their band Wir sind Helden. A few hours before their next concert artist sits in the room and says that they also as a street musician would somehow be able to live.
A sofa can still be her husband, Pola Roy, the hero drummer with long black hair and beard. Bassist Mark Tavassol sits on a sofa beside it, guitarist and keyboard player Jean-Michel Tourette waiting outside on benches with beer and crew on the Vorband appearance. The heroes are so relaxed and loose, as they would go bowling, but not soon and with thousands of rock, dance, sing.
Photo: EMIVideo: EMIHolofernes bear their long brown hair tied to the horse's tail and told of their school and a summer course at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Of this, she was so excited that they almost stopped there.
After her Abi in Freiburg tried Judith Holofernes, back in Liverpool to come. Because they feared no singing of the six seats feet wet, she attended for performance management. Even so they could be singing courses at the Academy of Music Paul McCartney's show, so Judith calculus. The plan did not work: "In the end, they have noticed that I really just want to sing. Then I was failed and my heart nearly broke."
Studied as a Plan B
They stood empty-handed, but especially the father should have a plan B presented. So get into the profession Information: "I've said that I might somehow like to write and perhaps somehow it journalism, which was totally confused."

Judith heard from the course in corporate and marketing communications. Researchers she drove to Berlin and asked: "If you do this, you can also make music very much and hardly ever needs to come?" She laughs: "And they have said: Yes, this is so." Their Plan B was born.
So they moved into their native city of Berlin and studied at the College of Arts, but happy she is not: "The other students questioned little. The giggling when someone asks whether an award-winning commercials is unethical." Judith looked the part of the socio-scientific studies, but they often found only business communication. The other films they learned to analyze, for a daily television series to write. And they took place at the University of their closest friends.
A small terrier named Holofernes
Young joined them in small clubs in Berlin. That changed only the Popkurs the Academy of Music and Drama in Hamburg. In the summer of 2000 she visited him twice for three weeks and found people who made music with her. The starting gun for Wir sind Helden: "I am like a small terrier in Polase, Jean-Michel and Steven legs grimly at the end we were a band." Bassist Stefan later left the heroes, but rose Mark Tavassol On.
Their last appearance at the Hochschule in Berlin was a nine-month group work on advertising and consumer criticism: "It was a total curiosity in the course and has pretty much a stir." By studying, she was then ready for the chapter she concluded. They just went out no longer.
This is a way, for they have long been clear - since about eight years with the record collection of her mother had discovered. Liverpool, that was the right path, while the study was a red herring, she says. "It was the typical artist thing that we need long to make the leap to dare and to see that you really just want to do." Judith jumped and now focused entirely on the music.
"Do this with the music, but learning what decent"
And what said the father, for they are the zurechtgelegt had Plan B? "Sure, that does not say: Is there a naughty with the music, would you ever pop star, child," recalls Holofernes. "He said: Mach with the music, but still learn what decent." Meanwhile, he has apologized to the daughter and finds it great. "That was more my concern that I had the feeling to have to prove something," she says.

For their study is nothing geworden.Judith Holofernes regretted nothing: "I'm not unhappy about the mistake on the study has been made. I've learned a lot, for example, what I want and not what people want, want the things that I does not want. " And she has also amused, she says, while she aufsteht to get even before the appearance of their young son to take care of Friedrich.
Three successful albums, many singles, a book - it works fine for the heroes: "True, we are not rich, but we deserve in any case more than we ever thought." Later in the evening she plays on the big stage, with guitar, with its three fellow band with trumpet and amplifiers. She plays and sings and shines. Almost as it was on the road - only a few points higher.

From the clip to your own house.

Kyle MacDonald, a 25-year old unemployed Canadians, had an oblique idea: He wanted a red paperclip for barter chain transform into a house - it worked. Moreover, he has written a book. And a German student came in the same way to a cabriolet.
  That they themselves have not yet come up with the idea is! It is so simple: Choose your worthless, inconspicuous everyday object, put an advertisement on the Internet, and change is part of everything that you appear better - offers clip, search the house, so roughly.
It works. Kyle MacDonald, a 25-year old unemployed from Canada, has tested it. "I would like on this paperclip with you into the business and they come against something larger or better exchange, for example, a pen or a spoon," he offered at the online portal on Craigslist.
What he got was a pen made of wood in the form of a fish. It was followed by a door handle with nose, eyes and Grinsemund, a camping stove, later a snowmobile, someday an afternoon with rock star Alice Cooper.
At the end - a year and 14 swaps later - gave him one against a minor role in a film by U.S. actor Corbin Bernsen actually a house. Two floors, freshly renovated, in the Main Street in Kipling, Saskatchewan. MacDonald moved there with his girlfriend one.
On its barter rush, he has written a novel, "One Red Paperclip", now translated into German. A bumpy written book. But the idea, the idea is brilliant. Therefore: Do not waste time with reading, coincide with the start swapping.
After Made, won Convertible
Thus, it also Max Raschke, a student from Osnabrück. He adopted the idea of MacDonald - only he wanted no house, but a car. Raschke began with an autograph card of football Ansgar Brinkmann.

Next it went with a cup, a table tennis rackets, Ampelmännchen ... After nine rounds of barter in a few months had come: Raschke could end in his own "Studi cart" set: Opel Ascona Convertible, black, older Year - but not uncool, the device.

Rich with mom.

How is a really tasty potato? When cooking blödelten around two students - a little later, they had a website created empire. Contents: Household tips for mothers and fathers. Now the two have a "savings" was published. Online blogs reveal the odd tips in the quiz.
  According to legend, as they like Bernhard Finkbeiner says, came with the Frag-mutti.de this way: He and his former scout leader in the Youth tribe lived at the YMCA Renningen anno 2003 in the same house in Ludwigsburg. When common cooking before they were peeled Erdäpfeln and wanted it in steaming, tenderised, bissfeste transform boiled potatoes. But how?

No problem, buddy said Hans-Joerg Brekle, took to the phone number and chose his mother Joyce. Then it was clear: potatoes into cold water, salt, well let simmer 25 minutes. Brekle and appealed to kalauerte: "We-cu-cu, ask mom De-eh." Ready was the idea - and a little later the same Internet site.
The founding myth fits already
That sounds like one of those stories that start-up founders always cope, if they are on their fame or profit-oriented business idea in retrospect plausible, nice and friendly media want to present.

But the media and computer science students Advisor believes it Finkbeiner author's lively founding myth - because it fits well with him. The sister site in question and ask mutti.de-vati.de DIY tips for running well and also raise money from. Bernhard Finkbeiner makes everything itself: For five years he maintains several times a week the page, tips adopts new budget and switches to comment freely.
His friend Hans-Joerg Brekle from Ludwigsburg days, a social educator with carpentry apprenticeship, is still involved in the project. Three books were received advice from the Web site showed the recent string Swabia is "Frag Mutti - the bleu" and contains financial tips for students scarce cash.
Abdominal types without Masterplan
The result is a small, lively guide empire. Student Finkbeiner is the Swabian-earth in person: Two years ago he married after nine years of relationship with his girlfriend from school days. With her is the Ask-mummy-maker a year ago after Canada pulled. "My wife wanted to do abroad," says the 25-year-olds. So he obeyed and sought a university in Canada.
Everything sounds like when Finkbeiner abdominal decision, he has no master plan. It seems that the success has come by chance. And where he now sometimes there is - please very, why not benefit?
They had never advertised for himself, claiming the young Schwabe stiff and firm. First came a newspaper to them, then came the radio, at the end were Bernard and Hans-Joerg twice visiting Guenther Jauch "Star TV." They stood in television studios on the stove and should Hausmann against the cook of the year. With every media appearance increased clickthrough rates.
When money does not listen to this friendship
Finkbeiner and his buddy, Hans-Joerg Brekle shall continue the modest profit, the pages off the Internet. "Of course I get a little more, because of all the work," says Finkbeiner. The guide sold about 100,000 books as well as Internet sites to help two founders of the rounds - the idea of donors in a lumberjack shirt just like the computer science students in Canada.

Two bids have times where the pages to sell remembers Finkbeiner. "But the bids were much, much more must be" so he would have become soft, because "Ask mom is my favorite project." Aha. Because what works yet? "Well, the study," replied Finkbeiner slightly irritated. No major new plans, no new superpower thing on the Internet. About the guide books, he says: "These are just the tips of the Web pages plus a few anecdotes." One told him once said, the Frag Mutti-book was "his favorite Klolektüre." Finkbeiner has fallen.
How it after the study continues, he already knows: namely quite calmly. "My wife and I take one years out," says Finkbeiner. Maybe he wants then again to the University and a doctorate top saddle. After dogged ambition for an academic career it sounds when he does not - it would be quite content. There remains quite Bernhard Finkbeiner left.

Duel of foot heroes and milk faces.

Britain aims to introduce sharia? Cambridge is for Oxford against - when debating the Nobel-Unis measure their strength. The ritual is considered Wettquasseln starter for political careers. According forces strive to students, and offensive to be common.
  Olivia Potts waits on a big task today. You tigert by her office in the Cambridge Union and studied paper. Many young men and women jostle in the room, make notes panic, learn rote phrases, pluck their flying cope.
Persecuted affect students in Cambridge often. Today is the stress something bigger - this is not even an exam to the students of the Oxford Union come to visit. The two most renowned debating the world gather for their annual fairs forces, "the Varsity Debate."

The theme this time: "This house supports the introduction of Sharia law in the British legal system." The role distribution is already drawn. The guest from Oxford represents the opposition, Cambridge, the pro-sharia thesis defense. Not an easy task.
It has something of theater, where the two finest Debattierteams in twine and thundering applause at the Chamber. The architecture of the "Debating Chamber" is the British Parliament, the House in Westminster, lookalike: The union president is enthroned in the middle of the room, four each debating sit on two parallel benches to the public in their backs and on the balconies over their heads.
Politicians games and offensive jokes
Speeches are in turn kept the opposing team must at all times application to provide opposition. The gesture is seen as a silent film of the twenties and follow a fixed date: The applicant schnellt from the seat high, stretches from the arm, rotates the hand upward and shapes the hand as he beggars to charity.
Mostly it is just ritualisiert further: Without his gaze from one to appreciate the speaker makes a derogatory, wegwischende movement with the left hand - Appeals rejected.
The two universities are rivals from tradition. Cambridge come faster from the starting blocks. The debate of these other university "would probably fear that a pro-Sharia position of their chance at a career in the Conservative Party might harm. Oxford author quickly: On the prime minister post he is doing for a long time no more hope, says James Dray. Therefore, he had far too many affairs with members of the other party had. The room breaks into laughter.
Teens face of a dairy, self-awareness of a Lords
The rest of the three debate is peppered with similarly childish posturing: There is verschwörerisches Getuschel among team members, eye rolls, giggle. There are jokes about the kilt of the Cambridge-torn speaker Robert Nimmo, an Oxford debating trying to wink with the female members of the Cambridge delegation to flirt.

Many of the awards are tasteless, they mostly come from Oxford delegation: Max Kasriel, a student from Worcester College, with the milk face of a teenager and the self-awareness of a Lords, compares Muslim Sharia supporters until the Rassistenvereinigung the Ku-Klux-Klan from the U.S. , Then with Josef fritzl, "this Austrian gentlemen, his daughters einkerkert."
From the audience logs on a girl with a headscarf: Whether the Lords debate ever before with Muslims on the issue would have spoken? You think these comparisons are hurtful and amazed that the President of the Oxford team does not admonish. Adam Bott, ex-president, retorted subdued, it was now once the rules here: Anyone can say what he wants.
