Isaac Hayes
Yesterday Isaac Hayes passed away at the age of 65. Many will associate him with South Park or Shaft etc. Others will, like I did, remember his songs recorded on Stax Records in Memphis in the 1960's. Like this one: Isaac Hayes -- I just don't know what to do with myself

Trycheln in Meiringen
The origins of the “Trychelns” lies in the pre-Christian time, as the inhabitants of the mountain valley (Haslital, Berner Oberland) at the longest nights of the year tried, to keep away the bad spirit from their villages.
Everyone swings its small or big cow bells in the same rhythm. Drummers indicate the tact. So it goes loudly, for hours, day after day, night after night. The faces are often masked and the faces and costumes are very fear-exciting. The Trychlen begins on the 26 December and lasts up to the last work day in the year, the Ubersitz. The night of the Ubersitz is the crowning conclusion of the Trychelns.
