Bang in the middle of Berlin with Thaddi Herrmann

Thaddeus Herrmann runs the brilliant City Centre Offices label, he records under a handful of aliases and edits Berlin’s (and probably one of the world’s) best street press (De:Bug), so no wonder he was the first person I got in touch with when I visited Berlin earlier this year.

I originally wrote up an article for Spinach 7’s Soundplay, but that seems to have stalled, so my interview with Thaddi is now feeling quite at home with the charming guys at Speakers Push The Air.

Our songs and cities are the best things about us. Songs and cities are so indispensable. Even if we go into darkness, the time will come when people will want to know how these ruins were made—the essence of the life we made.
Will Oldham (The New Yorker)
"I’m trying to run a tight ship,” Will Oldham said when he came to the door. By which he meant “Don’t be late again.”

"Sydney could save $185 million in energy costs over five years by adding green roofs to city buildings. And it can be done with simple changes to planning guidelines, according to a report prepared for the City of Sydney Council."
The Long View (Metropolis)
"By embracing the city’s industrial past—reclaiming landfills, remediating brownfields, developing neglected waterfronts—James Corner has helped reinvent the field of landscape architecture."
