An exhilarating journey through the subcultures, occupied squats, and late-night scenes in the anarchic first few years of Berlin after the fall of the wallBerlin Calling is a gripping account of the 1989 "peaceful revolution" in East Germany that upended communism and the tumultuous years of artistic ferment, political improvisation, and pirate utopias that followed. It's the story of a newly undivided Berlin when protest and punk rock, bohemia and direct democracy, techno and free theater were the order of the day.In a story stocked with fascinating characters from Berlin's highly politicized undergrounds―including playwright Heiner Müller, cult figure Blixa Bargeld of the industrial band Einstürzende Neubauten, the internationally known French Wall artist Thierry Noir, the American multimedia artist Danielle de Picciotto (founder of Love Parade), and David Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust incarnation―Hockenos argues that the DIY energy and raw urban vibe of the early 1990s shaped the new Berlin and still pulses through the city today.Just as Mike Davis captured Los Angeles in his City of Quartz, Berlin Calling is a unique account of how Berlin became hip, and of why it continues to attract creative types from the world over.

ABBA blasted their way onto the global pop scene with a Eurovision Song Contest win in 1974.The song, 'Waterloo', the band's tenth single, was a top 10 hit around the world and spurred them on to enormous chart success with singles, then albums, then compilations selling in the millions. They truly conquered the world, recording, touring, performing and entertaining huge crowds everywhere they went, but after less than a decade, the dream was fading and they went their separate ways, seemingly never to record together again.The superstardom was over, but their music continued to be popular and in every decade that passed the question was asked: will ABBA ever re-form? The answer was always no - they even allegedly turned down a billion-dollar tour - until the late 2010s, when rumours and announcements abounded and finally, to enormous global fanfare, the band revealed that a new 10-track album would be released in November 2021, and a virtual avatar tour would take place in from May 2022; fans went wild.The Little Guide to ABBA celebrates everything the super Scandinavian pop group represents: brilliant pop music, 70s style, influence on hundreds of subsequent acts and an enduring legacy.

Im November 1990 spielte die norwegische Black-Metal-Band MAYHEM drei Konzerte in der Ex-DDR. Im Eiskeller zu Leipzig entstand durch Zufall ein Mitschnitt, der eigentlich nichts Besonderes wäre, wenn nicht innerhalb der nächsten drei Jahre zwei Bandmitglieder ums Leben gekommen wären und MAYHEM im Mittelpunkt einer Entwicklung stand, die dem norwegischen Black Metal ein gefürchtetes Antlitz verlieh. Die drei Konzerte organisierte Abo Alsleben und begleitete die Band auf ihrer Tour. Er hat Dead und Euronymous persönlich kennengelernt und erzählt in diesem Buch, wie es zur Tour kam und was alles geschah.Only death is real…?In seinem Buch „MAYHEM live in Leipzig – Wie ich den Black Metal nach Ostdeutschland brachte“ gibt Abo Alsleben einen einzigartigen Einblick in die alternative Musikszene der späten 1980er und frühen ‘90er Jahre. Seine authentische Erzählweise wird ergänzt durch den erstmaligen Faksimile-Abdruck der Briefe des MAYHEM-Gitarristen Euronymous an den Leipziger und bisher unveröffentlichtes Bildmaterial.
