recalls the glory days of the one nine hundred century belgian glass makers whose products were in. and worldwide. sounds of i'm looking forward to this release for years and now sam smith has launched his new album then this singer songwriter rose to fame with his first album and the lonely hour which was a wood wide hit he's already won an oscar with the james bond theme writings on the wall after all the success the twenty five year old went through a break up which inspired some of the new songs. sam smith is back his new album is called the thrill of it all and it's been three years in preparation. it didn't feel like a long time to me and i i was touring that album for two years.

and i just needed to take a year to week where you can be with my family and friends i needed that time to get my head around what happened with that first real. mess rise was fast enough to make anyone's head spin the truck up spectacular sales figures taking on four grammys in twenty fifteen and a golden globe and an academy award in two thousand and sixteen for his james bond theme song writings on the wall. becoming famous is hard. and people don't want to hear you mind about a bit is just the truth it's a lot to get your head around you know i was a kid that loved music and love singing and songwriting and there was a part me that wanted to be famous because i thought that when you become famous it would fill that that hole within you that is sad and. that's craving

that attention and then when it happens you realize that it doesn't fill that void . he. has his second album the creation of a somewhat older more mature or sam smith. i feel like the first album was basically like a gin and tonic with your friends talking and gossiping about boys and this album's a bit deeper and darker it's me singing with myself and and i. also in myself you know how do i feel living in the world right now how do i feel as a gay man living in the world right now. if his new music creates as much of a sensation as before this time at least you'll be prepared.

i mean will be on to across europe next year well i'm sure he would love to perform in a concert whole like one plan the new nick austin architects beat thirty top companies to get the contract the jury appraised their design but many of those not so sure. this is the long awaited design for munich's new concert hall the jury's decision was almost unanimous but the reaction of many visitors to the competition exhibition has been one of bewilderment was is this building. from them i am i a pyramid or something like that out of the groups and there is one like it in the clan like museum and it's a big barn and i was clint's ice block just off the antarctic and talk to us. on facebook the mystification continues futilities have collected so many nicknames

and reactions so soon after a jury's decision greenhouse. the last bunker. cough and nothing at all. such an ugly thing. lots of scorn but not much praise. i mean. we've all waited for years for this design or. noted on it from and because of all the hopes and anticipation associated with it i think everyone's going to have to come to terms with his decision to waste for an innocent or for so i suspect that this waiting ended up hurting the project. and calling that this is for york to los that part. of the concert hall is intended to light up the night from inside austrian architects undress to groove h. and anton not what bailey known internationally before now their concept was

a source of silo for sound it could be drawn from music the form is simple but enigmatic is it a monolith it develops the search intention. we really like to work with the idea of a second look over the things that seemed perfectly natural at first glance and might not be. that way at the second or third glance this is nice to east. earlier projects include the ike for the need of a mountain chapel with its likeness and simplicity the horridest music house a bakery below and rehearsal rooms above. the annex for the full while bag museum in brigand's one you mental and at the same time airy. soaker of each and not power made the whole simple and straightforward their project a consciously a choose to their location. as components the building is simple because

we aim to create tranquility in the situation and the surroundings. this is the size of the future concert hall in munich soon to be redeveloped vacs feared the site places no constraints on contemporary architecture the gracious simplicity of form is almost a given thirty one designs were submitted to the competition many were more spectacular the towering lights started floating whole by the planet was company the giant organ pipes by as i have heard deed architects the radiator by starbuck attacked the temple of culture by david chipperfield architects the billowed stood by three x. in this last one came in fourth place but as the favorite of the guest book with some saying it would have been more creative for the exterior of the fourth choice a thousand times more exciting typical munich too bad about fourth place. most of the visitors to the competition exhibition were enthusiastic about the

skirt but the main entrance was located on the long side the jury saw that as a problem. in super beach and not about was winning entry the main home looks like the is a classic shoe ball. but with gently contoured balconies. three hundred we wanted a concert hall where space potential for acoustically outstanding hols is a priority of acoustics over architecture was set out in the competition requirements that's precisely what we were looking for under two and that's what munich will soon be getting the design makes good use of the space and complements the music but it's true valuable i mean they become apparent when the first no she is struck. he is one of the most extraordinary artists on the

german scene we're talking about jim the bottom based artist is known for his colorful and bright style you can find one of his works on the wall of the east side gallery him berlin on all his find it more than ten thousand pictures during the last thirty years three decades with lots of ups and downs the early one nine hundred ninety s. i'm jim out of the army and today. a little light i'm jim abbott yeah i mean you know. the painter has summed up his life between then and now in his book titled business as unusual become much you know photos artwork an anecdote that document not just his successes but his failures as well. it's been a lot if i don't think much before i do something and then i analyze it to see what was good what was not so good and what i'd do differently. he's an author of on

five so my life is like a roller coaster ride that she can do some things that really gone wrong and is on this was an interesting life has its failings and its ups and downs and i live quite well with mine school. in the late one nine hundred eighty s. evan young moved to berlin in one thousand nine hundred eighty and one hundred eighteen other artists were asked to paint the now famous east side gallery then at the one thousand nine hundred two document of contemporary art exhibition he created a stir with a guerilla action every day jim painted a picture and every evening he had the public destroy and thinking it's because seventy was about showing that an art was putting an image into the world and yet in its value got taken away it about because it no longer exists as me about on flights going to people or taking photos they'd seen it means before hand maybe they had it in their minds the way a melody goes through your head then it is now i'll pay it was a pretty punk simplistic critique but it was my critique of the whole art market

system at the conference the ones marked for me. jim decided that art had to be affordable so he sold his works at bargain basement prices often as little as ten euros for smaller ones but that didn't earn him a living so in the mid ninety's of a young took on industrial jobs even painting aircraft the more the hype around him grew the more he felt he betrayed his ideals he'd left commercial work and started his off the wall one man band neo on. trying to. sneak. through advisedly stomach and take i was smart enough to take it to the techno clubs and frankly i had no idea what it was about i didn't get booed off the stage people were just wondering what it was as it was going through what i needed was the feeling of being back in the avant garde you know that for myself. and

that's pocket for me said. jim of a new one followed his own artistic instincts in two thousand and thirteen rather than simply restore his painting at the side gallery like other artists did he painted over it with an entirely new motif creating a scandal. that's and alternately it was an illegal act because by then the east side gallery was a protected monument to the rights and think so i was defacing my own monument by painting over it and i think my case for me personally might have it was a question of what was more important and i aspirations for the work or my respect for the mine about my mistakes and it was more important that i was not happy with my old paintings because i want to something new because she was was. jim haven't your own has no shortage of ideas he paints an average of four new pictures a day his style has barely changed over the years his pop art may look whimsical but it deals with serious issues like capitalism and gentrification but words have

a new one is hanging for his new show aren't necessarily finished off and he won't complete a painting until the first viewers are already in the gallery. that doesn't mean by the much it's like a marathon runner who senses in the last ten kilometers that he's got the pull out all the stops to reach the finish line and suddenly it was her three days to go i have so much energy to hear in the notes i want to finish this and that it's wise that she doesn't doesn't us but has become wanted to need only two hours of sleep that's how suddenly things come together about an idea that i pondering for weeks. although once it's clear that's the. gym i've been yon's painted about ten thousand pictures over the past thirty years he hasn't kept count but one thing he's certain he's nowhere near done yet. we're also not quite yet november. is

edible. but delicious that's a matter of taste how kartel has a strong ammonia like flavor. the side of this dish found in spain in austria might make strong men faint from disgust for a. number for bulls testicles here they are being served up as a kind of carpaccio. blows don't have to be slaughtered specifically for this delicacy which is a byproduct when they're castrated at a young age. you eat with your eyes says the saying goes the traditional seafarers meal has plenty of normal ingredients like potatoes beets ground salted meats and fish but it looks like well as if someone has been seasick which is why it's often served concealed under friday the northern german specialty lobster cows. is number three in our list of less than appetizing

dishes from europe this recipe arose as a matter of necessity in the past sailors suffering from lack of vitamins lost their teeth so they preferred to keep their food mashed up. what were the swedes thinking why would a country with a thousand kilometer long coastline with fresh fish on their doorstep go for old rotten herring. it's second place in our list of not so delicate delicacies service to make. it's a roma is legendary the stench a rotten fish it's non swedes like a blow to the stomach some lose their lunch before the first bite restaurants tend to seats are streaming fans apart from other guests for obvious reasons but people in sweden are so proud of their iconic dish that the even export it in cans. flies buzzing around your food is pretty disgusting for most people but flyers are
