STEPHANE BODZIN

Bremen producer Stephan Bodzin is standing in the middle of Club Moog in Barcelona surrounded by people – label people, hangers on, fans even. People wait their turn to chat. “Look at him,” says Oliver Huntemann, Bodzin’s DJ col-laborator. “It’s always the same. Everywhere we go, everybody wants to talk to Stephan.”

And it seems Bodzin wants to talk to everyone right back. A bit of background might explain it. This is a man who has spent the best part of his life cloistered away in the studio making records, hundreds of them, although you wouldn’t know it because until 2005 none of them had his name stamped on them. But then he decided to do a Buttrich, stepping out from the shadows to make records on his own terms, this time under his own name. The response was immediate and overwhelming: here was a producer who had seemingly come out of nowhere (which actually wasn’t quite true: he’d come out of trance) that possessed that rare thing in dance music: a fully-formed sound of his own. If you hear a Bodzin track, you’ll immediately know who is behind it: the melodies, the Moog bass and the hissing hats are instant giveaways. People dubbed it - unfortunately for other pro-ducers in his hometown - ‘The Bremen Sound’. Bodzin also seemed able to churn out a record a week, most of them good. What resulted was pretty much instant fame.

All’s well that ends well, you’d think, but nowadays Bodzin has moved onto the second part of his grand plan. Last year, at the age of 36, he learned to DJ for the first time, and he’s also just put together a live show – not such a bad move in a world where even successful producers find it hard to subsist on mere royalties. But one look at Bodzin, beer in hand, happily chatting to the people in the club, and you sense another, more benign motive to new career move: This is a man who needed to bust out. If you’d been tinkering in studios since you were five, you’d want to get out of the house, too.

Finally it’s our turn to meet Bodzin, and his first move is to immediately buy us beers (Bravo. He’s obviously getting this new partying thing down pat). He’s very willing to chat, but I manage just a couple of questions: “Did you choose this club because it was called Moog?” “Yeah, kind of,” he whispers before being dragged away by another well wisher. Soon he’s up on stage preparing his gear, and when his set cranks up it becomes obvious just how much he’s enjoying this second life as a performer. And it’s very much a performance: Behind his space-age control-lers, Bodzin seems determined to make the party jump around through sheer willpower alone - white-gloved (?) fists pumping, he dances as hard as anyone in the room - and while the result is still a work in progress in terms of flow, what Bodzin lacks in club experience he makes up for in enthusiasm. Later Huntemann takes over and the room finds a more even groove (“He’s been a DJ for twenty years now” Bodzin explains), with Bodzin in the box egging his labelmate on as the night settles in for a party.

KATE BUSH

Kate Bush (born Catherine Bush on 30 July 1958)[1] is an English singer-songwriter, musician, and record producer. Her eclectic musical style and idiosyncratic vocal style have made her one of Eng-land’s most successful solo female performers of the past 30 years. Bush was signed by EMI at the age of 16 after being recommended by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour. In 1978, at age 19, she topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut song “Wuthering Heights”, becoming the first woman to have a UK number-one with a self-written song.

After her 1979 tour—the only concert tour of her career—Bush released the 1980 album Never for Ever, which made her the first British solo female artist to top the UK album charts, and the first female artist ever to enter the album chart at no. 1.[2] In 1987, she won a BRIT Award for Best British Female Solo Artist. She has released nine albums, three of which topped the UK Albums Chart, and has had UK top ten hit singles with “Wuthering Heights”, “Running Up That Hill”, “King of the Mountain”, “Babooshka”, “The Man with the Child in His Eyes”, and “Don’t Give Up”.

In 2002, her songwriting ability was recognised with an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribu-tion to British Music. In 2005, Bush released Aerial, her first album in 12 years. The album earned her a BRIT Award nomination for Best Album and another for Best Solo Female Artist. During the course of her career she has also been nominated for three Grammy Awards.Bush was born in Bexleyheath, Kent, to English physician Robert Bush and his Irish wife Hannah Daly.[3] She was raised in their farmhouse in East Wickham, Kent, with her older brothers, John and Paddy.[4] Bush came from an artistic background: her mother was a former Irish folk dancer, her father was an accomplished pianist, Paddy worked as a musical-instrument maker, and John was a poet and pho-tographer. Both brothers were involved in the local folk music scene.[5] Her family’s musical influence inspired the young Kate to teach herself to play the piano at age 11. She soon began writing her own tunes and eventually added lyrics to them.[6]

Bush attended St. Joseph’s Convent Grammar School (later the St Joseph’s Campus of Bexley Col-lege) and a Catholic girls’ school, on Woolwich Road in Abbey Wood, London, in the mid-1970s. During this time her family produced a demo tape with over 50 of her compositions which was turned down by record labels. David Gilmour of Pink Floyd received the demo from Ricky Hopper, a mutual friend of Gilmour and the Bush family. Impressed with what he heard, Gilmour helped Bush get a more professional-sounding demo tape recorded that would be more saleable to the record companies.[7] The tape was produced by Gilmour’s friend Andrew Powell, who would go on to produce Bush’s first two albums.[6] The tape was sent to EMI executive Terry Slater who would become famous for signing The Sex Pistols.[8] Slater was impressed by the tape and signed her.[9] At that time Pink Floyd was an important act to EMI.[8] The British record industry was reaching a point of stagnation.[8] Progressive rock was very popular and visually-oriented rock performers were growing in popularity thus record labels looking for the next big thing were considering experimental acts.[8]

For the first two years of her contract, Bush spent more time on schoolwork than making an album. She left school after doing her mock A-levels and having gained ten GCE O-Level qualifications.[10] In 2005, Bush stated in an interview with Mark Radcliffe on BBC Radio 2 that she believed EMI signed her before she was ready to make an album so that no other record company could offer her a contract. After the contract signing, EMI forwarded her a sizable advance which she used to enroll in interpretive dance classes taught by Lindsay Kemp, a former teacher of David Bowie,[11] and mime training with Adam Darius.[12]

Bush also wrote and made demos of close to 200 songs, a few of which today can be found on bootleg recordings and are known as the Phoenix Recordings.[13] From March to August 1977, she fronted the KT Bush Band at public houses around London - specifically at the Rose of Lee public house (now Dirty South) in Lewisham. The other three band members were Del Palmer (bass), Brian Bath (guitar), and Vic King (drums). She began recording her first album in August 1977,[6] although two tracks had been recorded during the summer of 1975.

Larry Hagman lives on. In a year when the legendary star of “Dallas” and “I Dream of Jeannie” endured a risky operation to replace part of his liver, Hagman has reemerged stronger and full of life. The 72-year-old actor, who is approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, spoke this month from his home in Ojai, California, about his resurgent health, claims made by the British tabloid, the Mirror, “The Sopranos” and “Dallas”, his friendship with Carroll O’Connor and the actress he didn’t like working with.

How did you get started on “Dallas?”

Larry Hagman: I had done “Jeannie” before that so I wasn’t unknown. I was in New York City for a ben-efit my mother (Mary Martin) and Ethel Merman were doing for the New York Library. And I had about 15 minutes where I really had to take off and I got these two scripts. One was “The Waverly Wonders” about a basketball coach in high school, it was a half-hour comedy that I thought they wanted me for because I had been doing “Jeannie.” Maj (Mrs. Hagman) took the other one, which was “Dallas,” in another room. And after about five minutes I heard this “Whoop! Larry this is it! This is the one!” I read about five pages and everybody was a cad, everybody was a scoundrel. Mama (Barbara Bel Geddes), Daddy (Jim Davis), Bobby (Patrick Duffy), and everybody and I said, “Great! I can do that one!” This is something that I wanted to do. And it was a struggle at the beginning, we did five shows as a pilot, and then we got picked up for the remainder of the 13. Then we got picked up for another 13, and it just skyrocketed after that. When I was shot, after the second year, it just took off.

CARLOS VALDERRAMA

Carlos Alberto Valderrama Palacio (born September 2, 1961 in Santa Marta, Colombia), also known as El Pibe, is a former Colombian football player. His mass of blond, permed hair made him one of Colombia’s most recognisable footballers. Valderrama captained the Colombia national football team in the 1990s during the 1990, 1994 and 1998 World Cups. Between 1985 and 1998 he represented Colombia in 111 full internationals and scored 11 times, making him the most capped player in the country’s history. He was the most famous soccer player in Co-lombia in the team of Rene Higuita, Faustino Asprilla, Freddy Rincon, Adolfo Valencia, Leonel Alvarez, and Andres Escobar and others.

Career

He won the Colombian championship with Atlético Junior in 1993 and 1995. One example of excellent field vision was in the 1990 World Cup in Italy. In the game against Germany, Valder-rama passed the ball to Freddy Rincon who was open for a pass. Rincon then scored through the legs of German goalkeeper Bodo Illgner. This goal tied the match at 1-1 and sent Colombia to the second round of the World Cup for the first time in its history and the only team Germany could not beat on their way to the championship.

He began his career at Unión Magdalena of the Colombian First Division in 1981. He also played for Millonarios and Deportivo Cali before joining Montpellier of the French First Divi-sion in 1988. to play for Independiente Medellín and Atlético Junior from 1993-96 before going to the US in 1996 to play for the Tampa Bay Mutiny (1996-97, 2000-01), Miami Fusion (1998-99), and Colorado Rapids (2001-02). While a member of the Mutiny, the team would sell Carlos Valderrama wigs at Tampa Stadium. In Major League Soccer, Valderrama scored relatively few goals (16) for a midfielder, but is the league’s second all-time leader in assists (114) after Steve Ralston (121), a former teammate. In 2005, he was named to the MLS All-Time Best XI. He was also named one of the top players of the 20th century by Pelé in 1999.[1][edit] Retirement as player

In February 2004, Valderrama ended his 22-year career in a tribute match at the Metropolitan stadium of Barranquilla, with some of the most important football players of South America, such as Diego Maradona, Enzo Francescoli and José Luis Chilavert.

Valderama has since become assistant manager of Atlético Junior. On November 1, 2007, Valderrama accused a referee of corruption by waving cash in the face of Oscar Julian Ruiz when the official awarded a penalty to América de Cali. Junior lost the match 4-1, which ended the club’s hopes of playoff qualification.

alderrama is married and has three children.Valderrama appeared on the cover of Nintendo 64 and Konami game International Superstar Soccer ‘98, as well as in the PlayStation conversion. In the N64 game, the player based on him is the only one whose name is not similar to the real-life counterpart; instead, he is called “El Pibe”. He was also in the computer game “Backyard Soccer 2001”.

In 2006 a 22-foot tall bronze statue of Valderrama was placed by the Eduardo Santos stadium in his hometown Santa Marta, created by Colombian artist Amilkar Ariza.

KIM JONG-ILThere is no official information available about Kim Jong-il’s marital history, but he is believed to have been officially married once and to have had three mistresses.[96] He has five children, daughters Sul-Song and Il-Soon and sons Kim Jong-nam, Kim Jong-chul, and Kim Jong-un.[97]

Kim’s first wife Kim Young Sook, was the daughter of a high-ranking military official. His father Kim Il Sung handpicked her to marry his son.[96] The two have been estranged for some years. Kim has a daughter from this marriage, Kim Sul-song (born 1974).[97]

Kim’s first mistress, Song Hye-rim, was a star of North Korean films. She was married to another man when they met; Kim is reported to have forced her husband to divorce her. The relationship was not officially recognized, and after years of estrangement she is believed to have died in Moscow in the Central Clinical Hospital in 2002.[98] They had one son, Kim Jong-nam (born 1971) who is Kim Jong-il’s eldest son.[99]

His second mistress, Ko Young-hee, was a Japanese-born ethnic Korean and a dancer. She had taken over the role of First Lady until her death — reportedly of cancer — in 2004. They had two sons, Kim Jong-chul, in 1981, and Kim Jong-un (also “Jong Woon” or “Jong Woong”), in 1984.[99]

Since Ko’s death, Kim has been living with Kim Ok, his third mistress, who had served as his personal sec-retary since the 1980s. She “virtually acts as North Korea’s first lady” and frequently accompanies Kim on his visits to military bases and in meetings with visiting foreign dignitaries. She traveled with Kim Jong Il on a secretive trip to China in January 2006, where she was received by Chinese officials as Kim’s wife.

Like his father, Kim has a fear of flying, and has always traveled by private armored train for state visits to Russia and China. The BBC reported that Konstantin Pulikovsky, a Russian emissary who traveled with Kim across Russia by train, told reporters that Kim had live lobsters air-lifted to the train every day. [101]

Kim is said to be a huge film buff, owning a collection of more than 20,000 video tapes.[102] His reported favorites are the Friday the 13th, Rambo, James Bond, and Godzilla series, as well as Hong Kong action cinema, and any movie with Elizabeth Taylor.[103] He is the author of the book On the Art of the Cinema. In 1978, on Kim’s orders, South Korean film director Shin Sang-ok and his actress wife Choi Eun-hee were kidnapped in order to build a North Korean film industry.[104] In 2006 he was involved in the production of the Juche-based movie Diary of a Girl Student – depicting the life of a girl whose parents are scientists – with a KCNA news report stating that Kim “improved its script and guided its production”.[105]

Kim reportedly also enjoys basketball. Former United States Secretary of State Madeleine Albright ended her summit with Kim by presenting him with a basketball signed by NBA legend Michael Jordan.[106] Also an apparent golfer, North Korean state media reports that Kim routinely shoots three or four holes-in-one per round (The odds of making a single hole-in-one in one round are around 1 in 5000).[107][108] His official biography also claims Kim has composed six operas and enjoys staging elaborate musicals.[109] Kim also refers to himself as an Internet expert.[110]

Defectors claim that Kim has 17 different palaces and residences, including a private resort near Baekdu Mountain, a seaside lodge in the city of Wonsan, and a palace complex northeast of Pyongyang surrounded with multiple fence lines, bunkers, and anti-aircraft batteries.[111]Kim Il-sung died 8 July 1994, at age 82 of a heart attack. However, it took three years for Kim Jong-il to consolidate his power. He officially took the titles of General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and chairman of the National Defense Commission on 8 October 1997. In 1998, his Defense Commission chair-manship was declared to be “the highest post of the state”, so Kim may be regarded as North Korea’s head of state from that date. Also in 1998, the Supreme People’s Assembly wrote the president’s post out of the constitution in memory of Kim Il-Sung, who was designated the country’s “Eternal President.” It can be argued, though, that he became the country’s leader when he became leader of the Workers’ Party; in most Communist countries the party leader is the most powerful person in the country.
