Last week I met up with Casper from Efterklang. We chatted about their 4th album "Piramida" (http://shop.efterklang.net/Store/DisplayItems.html), Casper's love of sounds, how the band uses SoundCloud and much much more. Oh and I used the new REC feature and edited on the go! Check out Efterklang here: http://www.soundcloud.com/efterklang / http://anisland.cc/home/ / http://efterklang.net/home/

Politaoke with Diana: About Political Speech Karaoke. Biography Politicians sometimes are actors - deliverers of words cleverly written by high paid political scientists working as speech writers sent to them via teleprompters. Other times they are professional improvisers, stringing together the current events jargon into sound bits and phrases that are perfect for being cut into newspapers, radio shows and television. But their words, whether powerful or ridiculous, whether inspiring or down right wrong, belong to us. Completely non-partisan, Politaoke allows the audience to decide how to interpret and perform each politician's words. The political speeches, debates and interviews are provided in their entirety- word for word- only edited into sections (songs) of about 1 - 8 minutes. Politaoke provides the audience a platform to perform, take ownership and finally hear and see clearly what their politicians say. Developed over 2007/8 and first performed in Weimar, Germany on January 30, 2008, Politaoke was expanded and updated to include a wide spectrum of contemporary politics and issues relating to the US election in 2008 and taken on tour across North America.

Alex has never stayed in a hostel and she talked to me about her first experience in Lisbon, Portugal.
