Hey, geht doch mal wieder zu einem schönen Konzert!

Anfang April begibt sich der kanadische Musiker Barzin auf ausgedehnte Europa-Tour und kommt am 9. Mai ins ://about blank in Berlin. Das wird eine Duo-Show, weil der Schlagzeuger schon ein paar Tage früher die Heimreise antreten muss.

Hört euch bis zum Konzert, das wir hoffentlich im gemütlichen Garten vom ://about blank machen können, unbedingt das neue Album von Barzin an. Es heisst  „To Live Alone In That Long Summer“ und ist ein nachdenkliches, aber wunderschönes Werk, dem man eigentlich nur vorwerfen kann, dass es viel zu kurz ist. Doch diese 33 Minuten werden euch berühren. Bestimmt reichen schon diese beiden Songs. (Ich hätte die Songs gern eingebettet, ging aber nicht.)

Letztes Jahr hab ich im Ä in Neukölln Chester Travis und Tim Hook live gesehen. Inzwischen firmieren sie unter dem Bandnamen Great Danes. Und eigentlich sind Great Danes auch eine richtige Band, aber für diesen Abend treten der Kiwi und der Londoner noch mal als Duo auf. Chester und Tim sind hervorragende Gitarristen und Songschreiber, davon könnt ihr euch auch am 9. Mai überzeugen.

Apple quarterly, 2014: Record sales but concern about the iPhone 5 c

Apple has presented the results of its first fiscal quarter marked by an increase in its turnover and of its profits. If sales of the various products of the firm show records, Tim Cook acknowledges a weaker demand for iPhone 5 c.

  The first fiscal quarter of Apple continues to align the records. The turnover grew by 6% from 2012 to $ 57.6 billion, and net income amounted to $ 13.1 billion. Earnings per share is $ 14.50, a bit better than the forecasts of analysts to 14.09 dollars.

  On the commercial side, the Cupertino firm said it sold 51 million iPhone, an increase of 7% compared to the Q1 2013. This increase is credited to the arrival of the iPhone 5 S and 5 c in September. However, financial analysts are disappointed by these figures. They expected 55 million sold terminals and defer the blame on weak demand for iPhone 5 c, range input terminal. Tim Cook, during a conference with analysts, admitted choosing the path of understatement, “we sold more iPhone 5s than expected. IPhone sales today account for 56.4% of the total turnover of the undertaking.

  iPad, Mac and China on the rise

  The iPad is sold well with 26 million past units, an increase of 10% compared to the first quarter of 2013. Tablet turnover grew 7%. Tim Cook said the success of the iPad in business. The slate is present in 98% of the Fortune 500 companies. Doped by the iMac and the MacBook Air, Mac sales increased by 19% and the turnover by 15%. This announcement comes at a market in the PC down 6% in the same period. The iPod continues its fall with sales down 52% (53% for the income). IPod contributes only 2 per cent of the total revenue of Apple.

  Finally, the strategy of openness in the Chinese market proves to be paid with revenues up 29%. The Apple CEO spoke of good sales figures for iPad (+ 64%) and Mac (+ 28%) in China. It will be the next quarter to see the benefits of the contract signed with China Mobile for iPhone sales. On the Outlook, Apple provides a turnover ranging between 42 and 44 billion dollars for the second quarter of 2014. Analysts projected a quarterly income of $ 46 billion.
