it's. history you know if you want to store. the fish and. i'm trying to. get you to africa starts december twelfth on t.w. . it's going to have a. little . hi there welcome to the euro max in today's show we'll be featuring one of the most iconic albums in music history and much much more from across the continent is what's coming up. we celebrate the beatles' white album which came out fifty years ago. the rebellious we me the street artist in frankfurt on mine.

and stylish revisit the family in the dream house on the island of malta. we start off with an absolute gem of rock history this iconic beatles double album as you can see the cover didn't feature a title or much else a toll and so it was dubbed the white album not just the color was unusual though it also marked the beginning of the end for the beatles the majority of the tracks were written and recorded separately as tensions in the band and different tastes resulted in a wide variety of completely different songs being jumbled together but with the talent on offer it still resulted in a cracking record. we

all want to change the world john lennon wrote. in his song revolution. nam war on student unrest in paris and elsewhere dominated headlines lennon thought the time had come to make a statement. this fashion took two months before the white album came out and is a bit faster. the release version of revolution sounds a little more reflective. tending. since nine hundred sixty four. i think it's because so many different influences went into it the psychedelic stuff from india played a major part of it. just returned from richie kotzen got to work on this album

because of. nine hundred sixty eight the beatles were here to get away from it all to meditate. left after ten days to escape the food in sex. followed a couple of weeks later to take care of business george harrison and john lennon. mean. they could have strung one another on the album but they didn't there are five hits on the rest. but. done yet anything but consistent by the time they recorded them i tell them. simply the beatles the fact full were already fraught with tensions in part with their private lives. to. have that plane that insists that he can hear it the x. d.j. and radio announcer describes the white album as

a kind of hodgepodge. and neither john nor paul were listening to what either of them were writing or composing any more with it hadn't ever been like that for us in fact the beatles worked on the white album or separately them together. eventually rain goes down after a when the drum sticks disappeared for two weeks. this is in my opinion it's the album that makes it very clear that they'll be splitting up soon after this season but it's ten george harrison took advantage of the growing tensions between lennon and mccartney to move himself into the foreground. he contributed one of his very best songs while my guitar gently weeps playing my guitar and i think it's outstanding it was the first time they ever let george harrison write four songs for an album. and he played while my

guitar gently weeps together with friends old and new concepts up until his death in two thousand and one. but not everything on the want to album was brilliant. as far as i see there's a little trash for me to do your blood does a ridiculous on. that music is really i just hated it and i still hate it when. there was a tragic footnote to the. i tell them that the beatles were not directly involved in cult leader charles munson took the music as coded messages to him personally about a race war and he saw the beatles as the four horsemen of the apocalypse spurred on

by the song helter skelter his calls made of nine people and nine hundred sixty nine. the want to tell them has just been released enough to lapse santa of six c.d.'s and a blu ray disc. the fifty recordings including some previously unreleased material remakes for this edition of the music ranges from the ballots to hans rolf to sound collages and just good puppy is it. because the beatles did things that nobody had ever done before. they set milestones on the white album is definitely one of them with definitely. want to come up to play with the. next stuff express we're making stops in berlin today but first let's stay on the

subject of music and a very successful germans. shannon shaw the singer elaine official has made it into the top ten of the world's best paid female musicians in fact she's in a place on the forbes list. of. the u.s. magazine puts fishes yearly earnings at around twenty eight million euros ahead of international superstars like celine dion and britney spears but she's way behind the highest paid woman in the music business you are seeing are katy perry with nearly seventy three million euros but fisher doesn't seem to mind. berlin's newest baby giraffe ella took her first steps outdoors and was introduced to visitors at the tear parks of. the young female seem to enjoy galloping around

the outside enclosure. elementary more than one metre eighty when she was born on november third as an adult five years from now she's likely to stand for and a half meters tall. so just two meters seventy left for ella to grow. the museo del a cool tool going all museum of conscience in milan is hosting the exhibition of visual protest the artist banksy starting this day is the first time that works by the british street artist are being shown in a public museum his true identity is still a closely guarded secret. back seventy four banksy has revived the rebellious political component which had been lost in street art and that is one of his achievements in. the exhibition comprises eighty works from private collections including paintings belgians and cranes it runs until the fourteenth of april

twenty ninth. well we stay with street up now but back outdoors where it belongs like banksy philip schiff uses the street as his canvas it transforms the city's grey landscape adding color and human commuters in frankfurt to marvel at the self-proclaimed gorilla just used to work illegally but has since started getting permission from the city council for his installations his works are meant to be thought provoking but also make people laugh and look at their surroundings in a new light. his little goes the city. he serves toast in a manhole cover. sent out messages on the net. and sprayed ivory towers slated for destruction. this is street town

intended to make the city of frankfurt nigeria and. and this is the artist philip shaffer. leaving the conventional behind away from normality changing perspectives and seeing things in a new light that's what you could call the essence of my art. for years now philip shaffer has been quite successful as a guerrilla artist as he calls himself here he's making final preparations before he heads out for his next stop to stick undertaking. right now i'm cutting out the stencils from my latest manhole cover work. this is the head of a cheetah for a panther. are there's a manhole cover near the train station that resembles a cage. and it's now being transformed the boring

manhole cover nobody previously noticed suddenly acquires a new meaning the action takes about twenty minutes and shaffer has the big cat in its cage. i have a huge database at home often i get an idea and need to find a suitable manhole cover but in this case i saw the cover and knew right away this has to go there. shafer calls this project where he adds a lighthearted in papal element to the pavement underfoot a swimming pool with a diving board. and who is the birthday cake meant for. where did this tale come from. slices of toast in a manhole cover. something to grin about and maybe also

a comment on our eating habits where does he get his ideas shapeless best known work pokes fun at consumerism. with a good list of you could say the manhole cover told me what it needed all i did was carry it out. the plate had four holes and it was immediately clear to me that slices of toast had to go into them or to find. it doesn't go down the drain it's meant tongue in cheek philip who studied political science wants to change our ways of seeing things it all started with his city ghosts they've now achieved cult status and are often imitated by other sprayers schaffer invented but at first he sprayed the ghost illegally nowadays he asked for permission his ghosts at least are cheerful. with his. they're not meant to scare people just the opposite they're

supposed to make people smile and pull them out of their daily routines. that was also the same when he decorated a train station for christmas twenty thirteen. the balloon on the right carried a wish list the president was parachuted down on the left but shameful with court and fined nine hundred euros. off with his orders on the roaches although i was supposed to face criminal charges as well but thank goodness the case was decided in my favor because i admitted to the judge that i did damage property illegally but convinced her there was a reason for it but if this goes over then you have to pay for make statements about germany's banking have frankfurt known as the city of the wealthy the great eroticized people shouldn't just turn over the city to high finance and speculators . good the city belongs to those who live in it and that's what this is about. to allow everyone to express themselves freely and help shape their social

environment. with. some making philip shapers a bit nuts but his guerilla art makes people smile and brightens up the cityscape and that makes the artist happy to. now from the streets of frankfurt we had two or more traditional place to observe. but the until you had to loom yeah paris is first digital museum you can see classic works by the likes of gustav clint and from an entirely new perspective this sense as used three d. technology to bring these paintings to life. dive into the world of the late austrian artist freedom. for the viewer it's an immersive experience the bull's eye on the floor merging to

an explosion of color while the art and technology blend into a seamless unity. we don't want to be called a museum we're a digital art so. we want to present a different experience of art than what you get in a museum where the art works just hang on the wall of. the new venue is located inside a former ion foundry in central paris. the old cooling pool now reflects the works of. if only it was opened in the nineteenth century by the peaceful family it took two years to participate location for the venue but artistic director. is happy with result. the t.t.c.

to you your point makes this place so special is that the old factory has been brought to new life and it's very important to me that we don't abandon locations like that. shouldn't just be turned into architectural rubbish dumps. a second exhibition features another austrian stuff cliff kemp was initially influenced by historical paintings and mirrors and then made a decisive break with tradition. over the course of his career clipped began to emancipate himself from classical art he founded the vienna secession which produced entirely new artistic genres. including symbolism and art nouveau is. just his kids and that's a painter himself from a step or statistic conventions the founders behind the. one to break with the time on it museum concept in paris the city known for its world famous museums that is

indeed telling tradition on its hand. well the tradition we'd like you to is singing silent night at christmas time as part of this week's competition we'd like you to sing us your rendition of the carol in whatever language you prefer after all the song has been translated into around three hundred languages and dialects you could win a cd and original christmas pyramid so make sure to take part on slash lifestyle next up we're traveling housetops a small town in austria that has developed into a real hits with chinese tourists over the last few years so much so that a replica was built in china for around eight hundred million euros the real house was declared a unesco world heritage site in one thousand nine hundred seven so let's go see the original. there are many many chinese tourists

here and they all want one thing a photo a photo of her in austria and they want to be in it too for some reason the small village in the region is immensely popular two groups come see and click yes it's pretty of course but why in fact do they come here. number three. very beautiful. you know word among their neighbor and. the flower. hi kate just. come here to make a dream come true because it's. up to seven thousand chinese visitors through the streets every day. but they don't stay long just long enough for a snapshot or too. much to the annoyance of some of.

the help i have time to drink a cup of coffee not to buy a souvenir just walk through take hundreds of pictures and then i'm bundled back to the bus and on to the next town. i can't even get through in the book because i get pushed from all sides and on my bike it's really dangerous and. another reason is on the chinese radar is that it has a twin an identical twin in china the house dot com was opened in two thousand and twelve. in the south of the country it's also favored by local daytrippers and chinese people who have neither the time nor the cash to fly to austria and it's popular as a photo backdrop too. but the austrian original is unique thanks to the authentic landscape. of the better off chinese piece. keep coming by the end of the year it could be over a million. that's too many for the townspeople there are now thinking of ways to

limit the tourist crowds. warning signs have already gone up asking visitors to respect the native population in general tourists are welcome and hostile but so many all that once can be hard to handle and a new traffic concept is required. has been made about limiting the number of buses registered buses would be at a certain limited number so. this is up austrian area is just too lovely and it's too bad some house locals may think to themselves that the news has reached all the way to china. time now for our ongoing series euro still locks where we get a sneak peek into someone's humble abode today we're heading to the mediterranean

island of malta this is where one british family chose to settle off to traveling across the world and listen an architect to design and build their dream house and now that it's done they've finally decided to settle down. this house is a typical example of modern multis architecture which features clearly defined structures to smooth bright exterior. the edwards live here northeast of a letter with their daughter isabel who lent her name to the family home. welcome to my health. from the front door you can see all the way through to the garden and the swimming pool this visual access makes the outside area of the response of the living space the edwards moved into the house in twenty sixteen. russell an internet expert from britain and his wife lorraine i have travelled

extensively and moved house thirteen times already give a family feel at home for the first time. i may not like. it just flows really nicely so i always feel. at home there's something lovely about waking up here every day and pretty much the sun is going to be shining and that's really nice. because the sun makes you happy. in order to bring back natural born consigned the owners relied completely on board as a design element. the entrance area is almost completely paneled with oak and looks like a huge sculpture with indirect lighting. i was worried that they would take a lot of my space because they were talking as well behind these units you can storage things so we have the furniture actually here so i thought that either

we'll take the space of the entrance but like i said you aren't witnesses these looks fantastic. the whites nishan the wooden wall in the foyer is mirrored by a similar shaped shell. and the kitchen. the west trying to put the house all together goes white is very clean very i don't mean money speak but for me to happen to be that warm so they want here was a fantastic idea and i think that is different to any other kitchen is the same for me i like that. the architect wanted the sonic dining table to form with the kitchen. but that proved to be impractical to walk around this thing so i think. that's a long way that we tend to the. police down

a little bit and then we can quickly skip through that get there which makes it a lot easier when you're putting your food on the table every day and stuff like that so your architects a great idea is that sometimes you change a little things here on. the staircase of the multi-story building with four hundred square metres of living space is decorated with a motif that features perplexing space perspectives. the master bedroom on the first floor is decorated in quiet beige towns in harmony with the wooden structures on the ground for all. i see is the color scheme in the living room. until to morrow because hidden behind the dark blue. the living room is the focal point of the house. normally we'd sort of turn the lights. and just relax is one of the if i don't say the only

lounge that we have really sat down on enjoy and drink usually not their homes that we have lived before never happened this is my. right and the. left. they don't have a god new usually remains open in the evening after all mild temperatures prevail all year round on the mediterranean island of malta. well from icy cold berlin that's time to say goodbye we'll be back tomorrow with more euro max if you can't wait that long you can find us on instagram and facebook i've d.w. your remarks plenty more content to see them on the bar for no. time on your emacs. and sustainable that's what the finnish fashion label heinous stands for the to design
