After five long years, German rock band Tokio Hotel is back with their new album "Kings of Suburbia"! During a MYXclusive phone interview with guitarist Tom Kaulitz and lead vocalist Bill Kaulitz, we had the opportunity to ask the band some details about their comeback album "Kings of Suburbia"!
"We worked on this for a long time actually," shared Tom. "We took some time off after the last record and we just need to live life and I think that's what this new album's all about. We put a lot of life and a lot of love into this record," he continued.
As for the title of the album, Tom revealed that "Kings of Suburbia" is about a feeling that they had when they were still kids, growing up in their hometown. "It's a feeling that everybody of us always had. It's a special meaning for us."
Prior to our phone interview with the band, we asked some Tokio Hotel fans to send us some questions that they want to ask Bill and Tom and the twins were nothing but excited to answer them!
And for the most common question from the fans: "Are there any plans of visiting the Philippines soon?"
"We're just planning our tour and we're just thinking about where and when we'll play. We hope that next year, we'll get to travel all over the world. We would love to play in the Philippines! We'd love to see our fans and play there so yeah, this might gonna happen in 2015!"
Aside from answering the questions that you sent them, Bill and Tom also left a message for all the Tokio Hotel fans out there!
"We just want to say thank you so much to everyone! We see the comments and we feel the support and we can see the love. It's so great and we're so grateful for everything they do and it's amazing! We hope to see everyone soon!"

Tokio Hotel Alphabet
Through the Monsoon and back again. Five years after their last album, the escape to America and an inevitable maturity process, Tokio Hotel show themselves as an entirely renewed band – more international, more electronically and with different hairstyles. But instead of parts, Bill & Tom Kaulitz only know how to spell the history of their band as a continuity. How they urged to be on stage as a duo as B like Black Questionmark, and suddenly had worldwide success as Q like quartet, found in L.A. the missing F like freedom again, caused a spectacle in J like Jerusalem in the meantime, but which P like Pumba doesn't know anything of, because their English bulldog wasn't even born back then. Welcome to the big Tokio-Hotel-alphabet!
A – TOM: Autobahn!
Bill: Oh yeah, we haven't driven on the Autobahn for so long!
Tom: The Autobahn is one of my favorite things in Germany. It's the thing I miss most when I'm in LA: driving fast, no speed limit, anarchy.
INTERVIEW: And less traffic jam?
Bill: The traffic in LA is a horror. I don't drive a car in LA, I generally don't drive a car though.
INTERVIEW: Tom, do you have a doll next to you on the passenger seat, so that you're allowed to drive on the faster carpool lane when you're alone?
Tom: Nah, I always have Bill next to me anyway.
B – INTERVIEW: I have two key words for B.
Tom: Bill?
INTERVIEW: Exactly.
Tom: Bill, the slightly ugly (Bill: hahaha), less well-off…
Bill: …the disadvantaged twin.
Tom: Yes, exactly!
Bill: You'll also have to explain that now, Tom!
Tom: Well, concerning the look it's obvious, I don't have to explain much in that matter. He's the younger one, the more naive one of us. And the one who's carrying all the responsibility, also job-wise…
Bill: …that's me.
Tom: Nah, you're the less well-off twin.
Bill: What's the second key word?
INTERVIEW: Black Questionmark.
Bill: Ah, our very first band name. I don't even know anymore how old we were back then, but we thought the name is really cool.
Tom: Wasn't the name inspired by a song from Nena?
Bill: No, her song was only called Fragezeichen. But that wasn't gloomy enough for us, so we thought about "Black Questionmark" and so we translated it into English.
Tom: We thought it sounds more international and markedly mysterious.
INTERVIEW: How can one imagine Black Questionmark?
Bill: It was only Tom and me. Back then we just started to write our first songs, and in a way we were different that other bands. They first rehearsed their songs, until they could play them. But when we wrote a song, we directly wanted to perform it on stage.
Tom: The problem was: We actually had no skills. I knew how to play four chords on the guitar.
Bill: And I had a keyboard on which I had to push some buttons, so that it played bass and drums on its own. Those were such pre-produced loops.
Tom: But we already performed in the "Gröninger Bad" with that, where we got discovered by our producer later.
INTERVIEW: How big was your audience back then?
Bill: Maybe 15, 20, 30 people.
C – BILL: I can't think of anything with C.
INTERVIEW: Comeback?
Tom: Oh, that's nice!
Bill: For us comeback is a difficult word, because see it differently. The last album was five years ago indeed, but after that we were on tour for a long time. In South America for example, and in 2011 we were in Japan and Russia. After that we took a break for a year and then started to work on the new album. So for us it's not a comeback.
D – TOM: D? D like Dora. Bill, do you want to tell something about your ex-girlfriend?
Bill: (laughs)
Tom: "Drums" comes to my mind. I always wanted to be a drummer.
Bill: To be honest, Tom would even be the better drummer. (laughter) I wanted to say that he's not as good as a guitarist as he would be as a drummer. Because he's always knocking on everything.
INTERVIEW: Does that mean that you'd be incredibly good as drummer or that you're not that good as a guitarist?
Tom: I think I'd be incredibly good.
Bill: The thing with Tom is that he plays guitar on stage, but in the studio he does all sorts of things. He also produced the current album.
Tom: The truth is that I can't play any instrument really well. But I can do a bit of everything and I'm creative enough to make it sound good.
INTERVIEW: I also have Devilish on offer.
Tom: Devilish resulted from Black Questionmark.
Bill: That was our first real band formation then with Georg and Gustav, the precursor for Tokio Hotel.
Tom: You can hear two songs from that time on the Super-Deluxe-Version of the new album.
INTERVIEW: Are they any good?
Bill: Nah!
Tom: Wait a minute! I heard them and thought they're awesome. How old were we, when we recorded them? Twelve or something. Well, for that age! I was totally stoked for myself.
Bill: That was a trip we won't do again.
INTERVIEW: Deutsch?
Tom: We still speak it, also in America. By the way, I think it's incredibly embarrassing when Germans always use English words…
Bill: …but it also always happens to me.
Tom: Yeah, me too. But I think it's incredibly embarrassing.
Tom: E. D. M.
Bill: I can't say much about that.
Tom: Me neither. What's another word with E? Eargasm, excessive weekend… I think Georg might know something. Georg?
Georg: Electronic!
Tom: Right, electronic music has been extremely important for us in the last years. Bill and me partied a lot, listened to a lot of electronic music, been to several festivals, EDC in Las Vegas and Coachella, which is why the album is also very influenced by that.
INTERVIEW: Actually exactly this was my point with EDM?
Tom: But EDM is a term which, well, everyone uses and which means everything and nothing.
F – TOM: Faul!
Bill: Freedom! That's the most important thing for me at all. But in our job freedom is the biggest challenge. Concerning the creative work we have all the freedom we want of course, but concerning the rest, the private life, it becomes more difficult. Especially the life in Germany didn't have a lot to do with freedom anymore for us in the end. Therefore we went to America and reclaimed our private life there. There we can simply go out again.
INTERVIEW: Because no one recognizes you there or because everyone is somehow famous in LA?
Tom: Both.
Bill: You can hide there in the mass super well. You put a basecap on, head down, and you won't attract Attention anymore. There are so many freaks, especially in Venice and Santa Monica, all the musicians and actors strand there, everyone wants to be in the Entertainment business and tries to attract attention. There Tom and I can go underground quite well. Especially as the Paparazzi have to decide which hotel or party they want to go to in the evening, because there are stars in the city 24/7. So we can lean back and relax.
G – TOM: Girl got a gun.
Bill: Wait, didn't I have something else for G?
Tom: Georg and Gustav. The Gs, how they are called as well.
Bill: Well, no need to say anything about that, hahaha.
Tom: Nah, this would get really boring, people would flip pages immediately. Let's rather take Girl got a gun.
Bill: Yes, that's one of the first songs we wrote for our new album.
Tom: There's also a great video for the song, probably the best Tokio Hotel video of all.
INTERVIEW: In the video angry women hound an eroticized, anthropomorphic fur monster, a furry.
Bill: Yes, that's Toko, our big penis-soft-toy. First we wanted to sic transsexuals on him, but then we decided on drag-queens, because they were simply better in the casting.
H – INTERVIEW: Hair!
Bill: Hair? Hair, hair, hair! I sometimes just change them, but they actually aren't that important to me.
INTERVIEW: I thought you have a bunch of wigs?
Bill: No, I only have one, a long hair wig, which was made of the long hair I had at DSDS
INTERVIEW: Is it comfortable?
Bill: Totally! It's custom-tailored and it's wonderfully comfortable. I actually want to wear more wigs, that's way more relaxing. I won't have to sit at the hairdresser for so long then, won't have to always dye my hair and can simply change my hairstyle if I want to. I'm asking myself why I didn't have this idea earlier. In the past people often thought that my black hair was a wig. But it wasn't. And it was so exhausting: Every morning I had to tease my hear for one and a half hours. One day I'll certainly die of all the hairspray I breathed in. Everyone who had to witness that back then is suffering a trauma now, so do I. But now, I think I'll have some new wigs made for the tour.
Tom: We're all really looking forward to that.
I – TOM: International! The fact that we have released abroad since 2007, 2008 – and that it went quite well for us since the beginning – has definitely contributed to a certain relaxation. Because the markets work differently and you're not dependent of a single market anymore, we just have more freedom in our work.
Bill: But actually we never had the plan to work abroad. It just happened.
INTERVIEW: Do you have a different image in other countries?
Bill: In America we are seen as a cool Indie-Rock band. Our age has never been a topic there. Everyone there is starting their career in the showbiz at the age of 6 anyway. We were almost regarded as old with 18.
Tom: Only the fact that I'm the most popular band member is the same worldwide. We tried to change that a couple of times, because actually it would be better if the singer was the role model…
Bill: …but we won't carry that off anymore.
J – Bill: Jerusalem, we played a concert there in 2008. And shortly before the show the German Embassy invited us to a city trip, which they hadn't announced before. It was great actually but the problem was that I was already in my costume.
Tom: Nice that you also refer to your clothes as costumes by now (laughs).
Bill: Anyway, I already wore my performance clothes, my hair was sprayed, my make-up was on and then we were on the way to all these holy places… They people who saw us just thought "What's going on there?" I felt so uncomfortable. I was the freak of the nation.
Tom: But the concert afterwards was great.
INTERVIEW: I have another key word: Jugendpreis Fernlernen.
Tom: That's the award we're especially proud of (laughs).
Bill: I think we only got that so that media reports about it.
INTERVIEW: How does the award look?
Tom: Let's put it this way: The award doesn't look good, but we have some which look way worse. Also the "Echo" isn't really pretty. And when we got the "Goldene Stimmgabel" there was already a part broken off. Which other awards did we get?
Bill: The Golden Penguin…
Tom: Right, the Golden Penguin, another classic one. That's Austria's "Bravo-Otto" so to say. The Bravo-Otto is high-quality made though. The awards which always broke very fast, are the "Comets".
INTERVIEW: Why broken? What are you doing with the awards?
Bill: Well, when you're moving house a lot, they fall down at times.
Tom: Most of them already break backstage.
Bill: I already knocked out my tooth on the "Bambi", haha.
K – INTERVIEW: Kings of Suburbia.
Bill: The idea for the album title crossed my mind last year, when we were in the car here in Germany on our way to Georg and Gustav. It's about the feeling you already have as a little boy, when you think you're the king of your own universe.
Tom: It's a mix of self-confidence and a feeling of freedom, I still have that feeling today. When you're partying with your friends or something good happens to you. A feeling which is extremely good and important, even if it only concerns the own universe which is generally completely unimportant. And we had this feeling to create something essential in the production of our album, therefore it became the title.
L – INTERVIEW: Leipzig, Loitsche, LA.
Bill: Oh, I never noticed that…
Tom: What's coming after LA? Lima?
Bill: Las Vegas! But actually we don't have a lot of memories about Leipzig because we're only born there, and already before our first birthday we moved to Hannover. We lived there until we were six or seven, then we moved to Magdeburg and from there to Loitsche. Most of our memories are from when we lived in Loitsche, that's wasn't so nice.
Tom: ah, it really wasn't nice.
Bill: And LA is actually a quite boring city.
Tom: A huge suburb.
Bill: I would like to move to New York.
INTERVIEW: But New York doesn't spell with L. You could move to Long Island in the best case.
Bill: I want a secondary home in New York.
Tom: I think we should keep it up with the L.
M – INTERVIEW: Monsun.
Bill: A super important song for us…
Tom: …which we will have to perform at concerts for the rest of our lives.
Bill: But I would love to perform it again and again anyway.
Tom: But it's time that we'll modify it, it will get hard with the pitch otherwise.
Bill: But we always played it during the last tour though?
Tom: Yeah, but at that time the guitars were already tuned way lower.
Bill: Okay well, then we'll just modify it.
N – INTERVIEW: I couldn't think of anything with N.
Tom: Isn't there a favorite film that starts with N? But your favorite film is Titanic. But we can talk about that later at T again. (giggles)
Bill: Let's take night life.
Tom: Very good.
Bill: Night life was the biggest inspiration for me with this album, because I could just freely go out for the first time and I really love to go out. In the last four years I did that quite often, maybe even a bit too often. Could be that I had to catch up on something. We also tried to go out in Germany, but it was never as awesome because of the known reasons. But in LA we could really plunge into night life. If I sit at home and don't go out on the weekend I become depressed.
O – BILL: What about on the road?
TOM: Okay.
Bill: Many people think that tour life is a lot of fun, but in fact I actually find this is the most exhausting part of our job.
Tom: You have to know that the cliché of Rock'n'Roll and party isn't true, some might have that, but…
Bill: Party and Rock'n'Roll? Well, not with me. On the road I'm always only focussed on not becoming sick, to persevere three months, to perform every night and to stand on stage. That really takes it out of you. I have to drink tea the whole day then, smoke as little as possible, little alcohol, privately it's really quite boring. On the other hand it's amazing of course, to play the concerts. We'll definitely go on the road again.
P – INTERVIEW: How about Pumba?
Tom: Pumba is good.
Bill: We grew up with Dogs, and Pumba is the newest member in our dog family. Pumba is an English bulldog and he's ten months old now. We brought him over from LA, so he flew with a plane for the first time. He did that really well. I got him when he was eight weeks old, and he's a real star as you can see in our Tokio Hotel-TV episodes. There'll also be a stuffed animal version of him as merchandise article coming soon.
INTERVIEW: The dog?
Tom: Yes, we're getting a stuffed animal made at the moment, which looks like Pumba.
Bill: I'm looking forward to when he's playing with it.
Q – INTERVIEW: Quartet.
Tom: It may sound surprising, but we've been together as a band of four for fourteen year already.
Bill: And we don't have those fights and jealousies for attention, who's doing the most interviews, who's on the Pictures, all these tensions a lot of other bands often struggle with, they don't exist in our band. Most of the people never believe that, but even before we had success the parts were assigned. Everyone has his tasks and gives the others their space.
Tom: That almost sounds a bit corny, right?
R – TOM: "Run Run Run" crosses my mind. Great video, great song.
Bill: Yes, the song was absolutely new ground for us, for me especially because I didn't know if I could even sing that song.
Tom: I didn't know that either.
Bill: But everything worked super well. We also recorded the vocals on our own, unlike with the other albums we didn't have extra people who were responsible for the vocal-production. So, for me it's one of my most favorite new songs.
S – INTERVIEW: For S I have Star Search.
Bill: Yeah, Star Search, that was quite interesting because it was the first experience in front of the camera.
Tom: Of course it was interesting, but you could also say: Star Search, that was E like embarrassing.
Bill: Oh well, if I watch the performance today I think it's quite cute. I especially think: "Gosh, I even had the courage to do that!" But I also have to say that it was mean of the people from Star Search to let me sing "It's raining men". I didn't choose the song myself. I couldn't speak English at that time and had no clue what the song is about, so that it's about raining men.
Tom: Such assholes, those casting show-people!
Bill: No kidding! I mean, that they let a little boy perform this song to provoke a controversy.
Tom: I would have also recommended you this song. (laughs)
Bill: Everything I thought about back then was that I have two and a half minutes to show people that I have a band and want to make music. I always lured the camera team into our rehearsal room, which was quite successful.
Tom: We as a band can only say: Thank God you were eliminated!
Bill: Yes, that was great, well, in retrospect. Back then I was really sad of course.
T – INTERVIEW: T is Tom.
Bill: Tom – There's even less to say about him than about Georg and Gustav, (haha) Nah, Tom and me we're actually like one person. Many people also ask us if we don't fight sometimes and can't stand each other. But no: We live together, we share everything, there's not a thing Tom doesn't know about me.
Tom: And vice versa it's the same.
Bill: We have such a strong connection, outsiders can't even imagine that.
Tom: I always think it's weird when I see other twins who don't have this connection. Because for me it's totally normal, but for them it's not normal at all. But maybe it's because that we don't only share our private life since we were 15, but also the job. Because of that there are actually no boundaries anymore.
Bill: I mean, it's not like we don't fight at all, but that has no bigger consequences. Nobody of us wants to move out afterwards or so. We have the same friends, we do the same things together in our free time, we are together 24/7. And what many people don't know, but which is totally true, is that he doesn't even get along without me. No kidding, really. I could travel to New York on my own, but that's a no-go for Tom.
Tom: Eh, says the guy who can't even drive a car.
U – TOM: Untenrum…
Bill: Man, why can't I think of anything? That's just not possible!
Georg: Urlaub?
Bill: Holiday is great! My favorite Destination are the Maldives. For a time we spent two weeks there every year…
Tom: I love it there.
Bill: You could just put me there for half a year. Many always ask then: "What are you doing there the whole time?" But it's not boring at all. It's just amazing there.
V – INTERVIEW: "Verrückt nach dir"…
Bill: Verrückt nach dir? Great, our first TV-experience. Our mother told us that we were totally cheeky at the filming and that we locked the main actress in the toilet, because we found her so ugly. Tom always said: "I won't shoot with her, that woman has such weird bangs." He wanted to shoot with a pretty woman.
INTERVIEW: How old were you back then?
Bill: We were so young. Maybe six?
Tom: No, younger. I think we were five. But the main problem with this movie was that one of us was supposed to pee himself. First there was a fight about who should do it, in the end it was me.
Bill: They poured tea on his pants then which caused a huge Drama…
Tom: …because I was in that age in which I was proud to not pee myself anymore …
Bill: …we wanted to show that we're big boys already. Our mother had to always tell us that we were only supposed to do that for the movie. And then we locked the main actress in the toilet and threw away the key, so that we ourselves couldn't even find it anymore. The actress got a crying fit then.
INTERVIEW: How old was the actress?
Bill: Maybe 30-ish.
Tom: You could see us for about one and a half minutes in the entire movie, but we were the most complicated actors at the set.
Bill: We also had really sick airs and graces. One time we were hungry and wanted to eat something. And because we noticed that everything was revolving around us we required a certain sort of cornflakes in the hotel we were accommodated at. But they didn't have it. We only said: "If we won't get them, then we also won't continue filming the movie."
W – BILL: For W we'll take "What happened there?"
INTERVIEW: What?
Bill: Yeah, you wrote that in your E-Mail as a comment on the three songs we released as a pre-taste for the new album.
INTERVIEW: Oh right, now that you say it.
Bill: We found that so funny. But "What happened there?" is also well suitable because probably many people will ask that. But the thing is that we didn't even try to sound differently with the new album. We didn't try to sound more grown-up, and also didn't intend to be more electronic.
Tom: We just did what we were up to. That's what I understand by staying true to yourself. It doesn't mean to only satisfy the expectations the fans have.
Bill: I also don't think that success can be planned and to go in the studio with the intention to write a hit. The only thing you can do is to implement at 100 % what you yourself find totally awesome. Even when I look back on our career, then everything we did was fully on purpose and nothing else. It was totally authentic.
Tom: It wouldn't work otherwise anyway.
Bill: We just wanted to record an album that we ourselves like to listen to.
INTERVIEW: But with "What happened there?" I didn't want to express my wonder about that you sound differently now than in the past. I just simply didn't like "Girl got a gun". Whereas "Love who loves you back" is a winner! And the song has even less to do with the old Tokio Hotel sound.
Tom: But the song was also in the album-teaser?
INTERVIEW: Really?
Bill: Oh God, you must have found "Girl got a gun" really bad if you didn't even make it to the third song. (laughs)
X – TOM: There only crosses my mind that Bill's favorite movie is "xXx – Triple X" and Vin Diesel your favorite actor.
Bill: Horror. Can we think of anything else?
Georg: Xerxes!
Bill: Yeah, I think that's great. We namely like to celebrate Halloween, and Xerxes was the inspiration for my Halloween costume last year. Show some pics of it, Tom!
INTERVIEW: Oh I see, like the Xerxes in "300″.
Bill: Exactly. And that was you, Tom? Simply a zombie, right?
Y – BILL: YouTube, there are the new episodes of Tokio Hotel TV. They deliver a really good insight to our life. They turned out to be quite funny as well.
Z – INTERVIEW: Ten years later. It must be ten years ago now, when you recorded "Durch den Monsun".
Bill: That's right! Yes, ten years later we've had a career with the band nobody would have expected. We didn't even want to release "Durch den Monsun" as our debute single. We didn't know the music business back then, I just thought: "I don't care what you release. The main thing is that we have a single." And I found it so funny when later the media wrote that our success is only due to the machinery of the music industry. That some random guy from the record company constructed Tokio Hotel and planned our triumph at his desk..
Tom: But it certainly took us two years until we even got a record deal. Everyone said no, also Universal. What nobody knows anymore today is that we first had a contract with BMG, which was surprisingly so good that it got cancelled again at the fusion of Sony and BMG, because everyone assumed that we would cause more costs than make money. Instead of us another band was signed then.
INTERVIEW: Do you know how things were going for them?
Bill: I think not that well. Also not for the one who cancelled our contract back then. But what I wanted to say: We neither had a professional management, nor a master plan. It just simply happened.
Tom: A big, unplanned career.

Bill Kaulitz: "The balance was missing"
Four years ago the twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz moved to Los Angeles and enjoyed life out of the spotlight. Now they are back with a new album. In the Interview with "spot on news" Bill Kaulitz and Gustav Schäfer talk about the hiatus and why their comeback actually isn't a real comeback.
The ex-teenie-band has just released their new album "Kings of Suburbia". Before that the four boys had been disappeared from the screen for four years. The twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz (25) ended up in Los Angeles. Also Gustav Schäfer (26) and Georg Listing (27) caught up on a lot of things in that time. But the new record is a success again. At the beginning of the sale the album was on #1 in various countries.
It must be a good feeling to know that the fanbase still exists…
Bill: That's so cool! It has always been incredible. In the four years we still won awards from time to time. Our fans were always voting for us. Even in that time when we didn't do anything actually. The support of our fans is incredible and not taken for granted. Before our break we've been told: You can't do that, it's "career-suicide". But we accepted it. We didn't want to make an album we don't like or which is only half as amazing. But we just personally needed the time. And at the end of the day it wasn't career suicide.
Why did you move to Los Angeles with Tom in 2010?
Bill: At the end we didn't have fun here anymore. We couldn't build up a private life apart from our career. The balance was missing. After our house had been broken in, we told ourselves: We won't look for a new house here again and build a prison for ourselves, in which you can't look into. Within four weeks we planned, packed our bags and just left.
Which things couldn't you do in Germany anymore?
Bill: Actually anything. It already starts with ordering a pizza. Or in the hotel, we checked in with cover names. We can't stay at a place here for too long. We always had security people with us. There were always 20 people following us in the car and 50 stood in front of our house. Then your private life takes place inside of your own four walls behind a gate and a fence. You don't get anything of life or the world anymore.
How was it in LA?
Bill: It was totally different. In the morning I asked myself: What will I do today? Am I going to the restaurant or go grab a coffee? Just the normal things, for example to plan the day on your own. If I wanted to go out with my dog now, it would have to be organized first. When you're on tour it's okay, but you just don't want that in your private life. You need the balance and we found it in LA.
There you could live like normal 20-year-olds…
Bill: Absolutely, we partied in night clubs, and sometimes we were pissed like a rat. Just like others in our age do it as well, just without it being written in the newspapers the next day. We didn't want private stories anymore. The music wasn't in the foreground. It was way more interesting what we say or do, where we live, what we wear and who we sleep with. In the four years we didn't do any interviews, to bring in a bit of calmness again.
What did you not like about LA?
Bill: For example that every club closes at 2am. At 1.45am you get your last drink and at exactly 2am in every club and bar the lights go on. So you have to already start drinking in the afternoon. I won't ever get used to that! It's annoying me so much that I even almost would rather like to move to New York by now. Furthermore we miss the German bread, plum cake and driving fast on the Autobahn.
Gustav, what did Georg and you do in that time?
Gustav: Georg as well as I traveled to cities we have actually already been to for a hundred times, but where we didn't see anything apart from the airport and the hotel. Just like me Georg was also in Paris for the first time. There we went with the metro for the first time.
For the first time at all?
Gustav: Yes, for the first time in my life. In Paris. We have also been on the Eiffel Tower, the whole tourist-thing with lining up and so on. That was fun!
Did you get recognized?
Gustav: No, not at all. That was a good feeling.
So, also a break for you two…
Gustav: Yes, we also caught up on the missing time with our families. For example just having lunch at Sunday noon. Of course we also didn't leave out partying.
Why now the comeback?
Bill: For us it doesn't feel like a comeback. Until the end of 2011 we still were on tour in South America, Japan and Russia. Then we took a break for 1 1/2 years. It didn't feel like it was that long. Then we started to make music in the studio again. We didn't put our feet up for four years straight. Back then it used to be normal that bands didn't release a new album for four years. And we never split up. It was clear that we would make another album one day. Only the point of time wasn't clear.
Are you worried about the future? What if one day you won't have success with your music anymore?
Bill: After the fourth album we are relatively relaxed. I think we'll always have a future with music. We can say that relatively self-confident. We built up a good base in the last ten years which will always be there. That has rather less to do with the success of a single album. Furthermore there are a lot of other fields in music: Tom for example wants to write and produce for other artists.
Can't you imagine something else?
Bill: No. I'm incredibly thankful that we all could go this way. I can't imagine doing an other normal job, which I actually don't want to do. We have the luck every day to do what we love and like to do and what we also feel called to do.
Wolfgang Joop likes your style. What does fashion and style mean to you? Is that art for you?
Bill: Yes, totally. Fashion is my second biggest passion next to music. For me that also goes along with each other. I don't see myself as singer-songwriter who stands on stage and only sings. I have always been more of a singer and performer. I like to have a show. We do a lot more on tour than just playing our instruments. For me fashion is a part of that as well. I also fulfilled some of my dreams concerning that matter: I worked with photographers, labels and designers I have already wanted to work with for a long time. I really have embosomed Wolfgang and we get along very well. He's a great designer. One of my big dreams is to have a fashion line one day. I want to fulfil this dream for myself one day. But also concerning that I want to take time to do it seriously. I don't want to simply write my name on something. There are also already some designs and names I have been working on for some years now. By now there hasn't been the right moment yet, but it will come one day.
But for now the music's first?
Bill: The next time it's the album's turn. We have an incredibly full schedule, there is no minute for other things. Therefore it will still take a bit of time.

NEW YORK — Hoping their baseball success will translate to titles in another sport, the Yankees are combining with English power Manchester City to own a Major League Soccer expansion team in New York that will start play in 2015.
The team, the 20th in a league that has doubled in size in two decades, will be called New York City Football Club. It has less than two years to find a temporary home while also focusing on where it wants to build a permanent stadium.
"It's a powerhouse combination," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said after Tuesday's announcement.
Manchester City, owned by Sheik Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi, will be the controlling owner. The Yankees were approached about investing last week and will have an interest of 20 percent to 25 percent, a person familiar with the deal said, speaking on condition of anonymity because that detail wasn't announced.
The expansion fee for the new team is $100 million. It will compete for attention and dollars with 10 other professional big league clubs in the New York market.
"They'll be running all the soccer. We know our way around New York, how to get things done," said Yankees President Randy Levine, who will be the team's lead person in the launch.
While the Yankees have won a record 27 World Series titles, Manchester City is more akin to the crosstown Mets. It has just three league championships in England compared with rival Manchester United's 20. Four years ago, after City was bought by Sheik Mansour's company, United manager Alex Ferguson derisively called City a "noisy neighbor."
MLS has been negotiating with New York City to build a stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, near the home of the Mets. The Mets had explored owning an MLS team before financial turmoil caused by the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme.
"Flushing is still the preferred site," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said.
However, some community groups have opposed using city parkland. The new owners will consider other sites.
"We need a community that supports us. We need a family that's going to embrace us," Manchester City Chief Executive Officer Ferran Soriano said. "So we're going to continue this discussion. But the first thing we want to do is to listen, listen to the community, listen to everybody."
Holly Leicht, executive director of New Yorkers for Parks, said the Yankees' involvement "opens the door for the possibility there might be a serious discussion about relocating where the stadium will go."
For a soccer stadium to be built at Flushing Meadows, NYC FC would have to reach an agreement with the Mets to use Citi Field's parking lots. The Mets declined comment on the Yankees' deal.
"It seems to make sense with the Yankees involved that the doorstep of Citi Field would be less enticing perhaps than before," Leicht said.
New Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009, was built on the site of Macombs Dam Park. That parkland was replaced, but not fully until Heritage Field opened last year on the site of the old ballpark.
"While the parks that were built are lovely, there's still a lot of remaining anger among a lot of parks advocates about how that whole process went down," Leicht said.
Bloomberg, in the final year of his term, has advocated the Queens site.
"Flushing Meadows Park is the right place to put it," he said. "It's at the end of the park that doesn't get as much use, and we could get aid for fixing up and helping up the part of the park that everybody does use."

Ryan Hollins has a reputation of cheap shots, but this has to be a new low. In the second quarter of Wednesday night's game at Staples Center, Jeremy Lin stole the ball right out of Hollin's hands – which is where his frustration began. As Lin pushed the ball up the court, Odom committed a foul that sent Lin tumbling to the ground, and on his way down, Ryan Hollins clearly kicked him only to raise his hands claiming innocence seconds after the cheap shot. It was ruled a flagrant foul 1, but you can count on the Clippers center receiving a suspension or at least a fine from the league.

Brooklyn, New Yo...
Black hat and scarf. I made the scarf first and I had leftover yarn, so I decided to make the hat. It was my first hat and I needed a pattern. Vickie Howell had a pattern for a very cool men's Brimster: http://vickiehowell.com/2006/05/brimster-free-pattern-of-month_01.html. By trial and error I managed to modify it and came up with a more feminine version. It is a combination of knitting and crochet.
Dec 18, 2007, 07.08 AMby jj1
Hi again, Thank you so much for taking time writing the changed pattern.
Dec 18, 2007, 03.12 AMby fashion1
very pretty picture! you look beautiful!
Dec 17, 2007, 04.51 PMby yoshimi
Oh, they are so pretty on you!
Dec 17, 2007, 04.00 PMby kasia26
Changes I've made to Vicke's pattern: MAKE THE BACK: 98 sts. was way too many, I casted 70 sts. Instead of 2×2 rib I did 1×1, but this change was just my personal like, you can do 2×2 if you prefer it. The rest of the BACK: no change. MAKE THE FRONT: no change MAKE THE BODY: Instead of 2×2 I did 1×1, but if you did the BACK part in 2×2, keep the BODY in 2×2 rib. No other changes. Begin Shaping (No change if you are doing 2×2 rib) Next round: P2tog, for the next 2 sts:purl the purl, knit the knit repeat to the end. Next round: no change to the end. MAKE THE BRIM : This part is all crochet, roughly speaking it goes like this: (The FRONT and BACK must be seemed before this part) Starting 1/3" before the FRONT starts, I crochet about 45 sc onto the hat, finnishing 1/3" from the end of the FRONT. Work even in sc for the next 10 rows, make the edges narrow by skipping the last sc in each row. To make the smooth finish I did 2 more rows in sc from the edge (whre the brim meets the FRONT) to the edge of the brim. BAND: I crochet this part, but it can be knitted as well. Make it as long/wide as you like. After I finished mine I thought that knitting a band with a cable pattern would look nice. End buttons would be geat, too. I hope that my instructions make sense. Good luck and I hope to see your creations soon.
Dec 17, 2007, 08.08 AMby jj1
I love your feminine version. Which part of the pattern that you have changed and it made more feminine? Did you crochet the band and brim? I want to knit one. Thanks

4 iPads and an Orchestra
in Music
"Like all boys growing up in the early sixties, I was fascinated by space exploration," said Anthony Hose, conductor of the Stetson University Symphony Orchestra. "And, of course, I wanted to be an astronaut."
While it is not quite the same as floating among the stars, Hose did conduct the Stetson University Orchestra performing the American premiere of Voyager written by Warren Greveson, who was inspired by Voyager 1 and 2, two spacecrafts launched in 1977 on a grand tour of the solar system. Voyager is composed for four iPads and an orchestra, and accompanied by a film by Maurice Lock.
In this interview, Hose, Greveson and Lock talk about the music and the inspiration from 37 years of research collected and sent back to Earth by the two Voyager probes.
You Don't Need to Conduct the Orchestra! ~ Jack Armstrong
in Spirituality
We humans often feel the need to make things happen – to have things turn out the way we think they should. If we're facing serious challenges, or if something we're working on hasn't happened, our minds tend to jump into action, trying to figure out what to do next.
But the more we struggle to have things go our way, fear, discouragement or frustration can set in, only adding to our struggles.
In Jack Armstrong's new book, You Don't Need to Conduct the Orchestra!, Lessons on Letting Go, Trusting and Allowing, he shares previously unpublished spiritual teachings that gently remind us that we can let go of the struggle and then trust and allow our highest good to flow into our lives.
For more than 35 years, Jack Armstrong has been a reluctant, yet willing, conduit for receiving and transcribing remarkable spiritual teachings through a form of channeling known as Inner Dictation -- the same phenomenon through which A Course in Miracles was received.
After publishing his first book, Lessons from the Source, in 2008, Jack decided to devote his life to sharing these inspiring messages with others for whom they can be helpful, and You Don't Need to Conduct the Orchestra! is his third publication.
Jack is an explorer on the spiritual path whose life's journey has included stops as a nonprofit executive, Peace Corps volunteer, congressional candidate, small business owner, actor, voiceover artist, and hospice volunteer. He lives on Bainbridge Island, Washington, and strives to practice the lessons he has received.

Callywood Live with CeCe Peniston, Sensere, Roy Belfrey & Urban Wolf Symphony
CeCe Peniston was born Cecilia Veronica Peniston on September 8,1969. Her storybook beginning is magical in that CeCe Peniston spent most of her formative years in Phoenix, Arizona and got her first start singing before her congregation in church. She performed in plays and musicals and participated in talent shows while learning to play the piano. The real testament of her talent was in 1987 when Peniston, still a high school student, landed a part in a local production of Bubbling Brown Sugar. From their, she would earn her diploma and continue on to the University of Phoenix to study Liberal Arts.
Neo-soul/gospel/group SENSERE, groomed and promoted by former Sony VP, Eddie Pugh. This group is based in South Florida, and would be awesome for an inspirational show looking to pair non-traditional, but uplifting fare -- in that Earth Wind & Fire way. With a touch of hip-hop, jazz and neo- soul, SENSERE looks and performs like The Roots (dapper & funky) with a horn section like EWF and the lyrical spirit of Mary Mary!
Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Roy Belfrey is a business mogul turned moviemaker. Roy participates in multiple facets of the entertainment industry, as he owns and operates MN FINEST Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. "Matthew 18" is Roy Belfrey's first feature film, which he wrote, directed and self-produced.
An eclectic jazz collective blazing out of Hillside, New Jersey, Urban Wolf Symphony breaks barriers, creating and performing music that both defies categorization and comparisons, yet feels familiar and welcome to the music lover's ear. This cutting edge jazz/fusion collaboration also features a deejay, for that extra aural touch. They're not just "outside the box" – they fashioned a new one.

Freedom Friday
in Self Help
Fear can sometimes have a paralyzing affect on your spiritual life; however, understanding how to overcome fear can unlock the door to unlimited freedom.People often have a very limited, stereotypical perspective on what it means to be free-spirited. If you truly want to be a free spirit, keep the following in mind.Society likes to serve us up a very narrow interpretation of what constitutes a "free-spirit." Images that immediately come to mind are the globetrotting bohemian, the manic pixie dream girl, the free-wheeling artist, the minimalist philosopher, or the co-op-inhabiting environmentalist. Maybe your vision of free-spiritedness was defined in high school by that tattooed, trilingual, punked-out guy who never failed to remind people of how many countries he'd been to when, really, it was the quiet, dorky girl who spent every lunch break in the library who couldn't care less what you thought about her. Instead of falling into the trap of molding yourself to some predefined role, live your life as a free agent will be discussed today with host Edna J. White.

That's a pretty impressive amount, probably about the highest I have seen. I just completed a short 2.5hr each way trip through the Benelux countries which included getting lost, some traffic and bad weather conditions. The average was about 45-50MPG, with on the way there being at the higher end of the scale - with little eco driving unless I was on the speed limit and traffic was flowing relatively normally. I get the impression the car may be tuned for UK roads (no surprise as it is the best seller across the channel) as if I sit on the equivalent of the UK speed limit ( which is lower than the speeds here) then I get very good fuel efficiency but the minute I go up to the Luxembourg or Belgian limits I notice a drop in efficiency. Anyway if I can squeeze 50MPG out of it I'll be pleased but even more would make me happy
Rod, tuning has nothing to do with the effect of speed on mpg. It's a simple case of physics ie the faster you drive the greater the atmospheric drag. The effect is so dramatic that, say you double your speed the drag increases four fold, heavily reducing mpg.

Hawaii becomes the Island of Johnny Moreau on Friday's 100th episode of Hawaii Five-0: Bush singer Gavin Rossdale guest-stars as a new villain.
The bulk of the milestone hour is devoted to a "Sliding Doors" plot — in which McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) is kidnapped by Wo Fat (Mark Dacascos) and experiences what his life would have been like if his father, John McGarrett (William Sadler), had never died. And it's a must-see episode for longtime fans, who will finally get a definitive answer as to the exact link between McGarrett and Wo Fat.
So what does Johnny Moreau have to do with all this? TVGuide.com chatted with Rossdale about his guest-starring role, which TV shows he's addicted to, and whether we'll be seeing any more of him on The Voice this season.
[WARNING: The following story contains spoilers from Sunday's series finale of HBO's Boardwalk Empire.

And as promised by creator and executive producer Terence Winter, who worked with the team that crafted the maddening and still-debated ending of The Sopranos, there was nothing ambiguous about it.The show arguably reached its emotional climax in the penultimate episode, when Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) agreed to give up his Atlantic City empire to New York rival Charlie Luciano (Vincent Piazza) in order to save his nephew Willie. As such, the finale became a flashback-heavy exploration of Nucky's soul as he tied up loose ends with his brother Eli (Shea Whigam) and made plans to move to New York and live quietly, thanks to the cool $2 million he made manipulating the stock market with his former wife Margaret (Kelly Macdonald).

GARAGISTES – (gar-uh-zhē-stuh) n, Fr. – A term originally used in the Bordeaux region of France to denigrate renegade small-lot wine makers, sometimes working in their garage, who refused to follow the "rules." Now a full-fledged movement responsible for making some of the best wine in the world. Who's laughing now, Francois?Syn: Rule-breakers, pioneers, renegades, mavericks, driven by passion.
Welcome to Garagiste, a place for the underground, the different, and the cutting edge of small production winemaking with no rules.
Our very first video describing who and what a "garagiste" is. For those of you thinking of starting on your own winemaking journey we hope you'll join us on for our Sunday Symposium on November 9th. Garagiste winemakers Adam Lazarre and Matt Brain (also a professor at Cal Poly) will be leading the discussion and getting into the nitty gritty of wine science. Now's your chance to come get geeky with us! For more details check out our EVENT SCHEDULE.
Steve Lohr Headlines Garagiste Festival Seminar on New Paso Robles AVAs
Chairman and CEO of J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines offers festival attendees insights into what the AVAs mean and why they are important, November 9th, in Paso Robles; Garagiste Festival Grand Tasting offers wines from 8 of the 11 new AVAs
Paso Robles, CA –2014 – The Garagiste Festival has added a third seminar to its 2014 line-up, East! West! North! South! – What Does It All Mean? focused on the 11 new Paso Robles AVA Viticultural Areas, which will become official on November 10th, 2014.
The seminar is headlined by special guest Steve Lohr, Chairman and CEO of J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, and moderated by Garagiste Festival Co-founder Stewart McLennan on November 8th at the Ponderosa Pavilion at the Paso Robles Fairgrounds. The Garagiste Festival Grand Tasting, which follows the seminar, features 60 Paso area winemakers, including a broad range of wines from at least 8 of the proposed new AVAs.
"The diversity of climates and soils is unique to the Paso Robles region and is a huge reason why the garagiste wine movement is able to explore virtually any varietal in any style. No other wine region can say that. On the eve of the ruling going into effect, we are honored to welcome Steve to the festival to share his insights on these new AVA Viticultural Areas," said Garagiste Festival Co-founder Doug Minnick. "Steve was a key player in moving the new AVA process forward, and will share what drove the proposal, and what it means for winemakers and consumers alike."
The seminar, East! West! North! South! – What Does It All Mean? is part of the fourth annual Garagiste Wine Festival, which takes place November 6 th - 9th in Paso Robles, Atascadero and Templeton. Over 70 garagiste* winemakers are scheduled to pour over 300 wines during the non-profit festival, which is the first and only festival dedicated to undiscovered and under-recognized American garagiste winemakers who are making some of the best, most exciting, handcrafted small-lot wines in the world. The festival was just named Best Festival in Sunset Magazine's November 2014 Best of the West.
The seminar is one of three seminars that kick off Day 3 of the Festival, and precede the Grand Tasting. The other two seminars are Taste Like a Pro led by Matt Kettmann of The Wine Enthusiast and Making A Dream Come True: My Second Career as a Vineyard Owner and Winemaker, Bob Tillman of Alta Colina, Carl Bowker of Caliza, and Victor Abascal of Vines on the Marycrest. The festival also offers a Winemaker Symposium on Sunday November the 9th, sponsored for the second year by Laffort, and designed for those wine lovers ready to, or contemplating, making the leap to winemaker.
Other festival events include The Opening Round at the historic Carlton Hotel in Atascadero on November 7th,featuring 20 winemakers from Northern California and Santa Barbara County as well as cheese and charcuterie from Vivant Fine Cheese and hearty appetizers from popular local chef Johnny Jantz; Shiners, Samples, and Secrets Winemaker Mixer at Templeton's First Crush, on Thursday November 6th; and the festival's signature rocking After Party on November 8th, featuring local band High Voltage and beer from Barrelhouse Brewery.

Having won a seat in the West Bengal Assembly in the recently-concluded State elections, FICCI's secretary-general for 15 years Amit Mitra has resigned from the industry lobby.
Mitra, who was with FICCI in various roles since 1994, tendered his resignation on May 16, which the organisation accepted on Wednesday.
"Dr. Amit Mitra has resigned from the organisation in preparing a larger role at the State level," said a statement from FICCI.
Mr. Mitra, who contested from Khardah in North 24 Parganas district as a Trinamool Congress candidate, bagged 83,608 votes beating State Finance Minister Asim Dasgupta by an emphatic margin of 26,154 votes.
A noted economist, Mr. Mitra, 63, is being touted as the next Finance Minister of the State. A Ph.D from Duke University in the U.S., he has been assisting Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee as chairman of an expert committee in drawing up business plans for the railways since she got the portfolio in 2009.
FICCI said that Mr. Mitra had almost single-handedly rebuilt the organisation from a state where it was "struggling to sustain its historical legacy built since its founding in 1927".
"FICCI's revenues, less than a true indicator of its rising influence on policy making, increased from about Rs.3 crore per annum to their current level of about Rs.110 crore during his tenure," it added.

Maleah Torney Photography to Showcase "Modern Florals Photo Set" at GBK's Luxury Gift Lounge for the 2013 Academy Awards
Maleah Torney Photography (http://www.maleahtorney.com), in association with The Artisan Group, will showcase its "Modern Florals Photo Set" at GBK's Luxury Gift Lounge in Honor of the 2013 Academy Award Nominees & Presenters. A version of the set printed on metallic paper will also be included in celebrity swag bags. The GBK Gift Lounge takes place February 22-23, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California.
The Modern Florals Photo Set is part of Maleah Torney Photography's "Urban Collection." Images in the set include "Hello Sunshine," "Vision in White," "Three's Company Squared" and "Daisy Day Dreams." All images are ready for framing and are beautifully packaged in natural colored, recycled, handmade paper folders tied with orange and green ribbons.
"These photos are a fresh, graphic take on everyone's favorite daisies and poppies," remarked Maleah Torney, photographer/owner, Maleah Torney Photography. "I consider them as florals with a modern twist. The color scheme is neutral with a pop of color and will work in almost any décor."
Watch a Maleah Torney Photography video.
While preparing so many photo sets for the Oscars event was hard work, the project went smoothly. When it came time to package the 100 gifts, Torney was assisted by her eleven year old daughter. "It was a very special time with her," smiled Torney. "She loves to help with my photography business when she can and I enjoy showing her the ropes."
Maleah Torney Photoraphy's photographs and photo notecards are a popular choice for celebrity gift bags. Most recently she participated in the Official Gift Lounge for the 46th Annual CMA Awards, where her photograph "The Barn" was included in Press Bags. Prior to that, matted prints of the photograph "Ocean Dreams" were included in celebrity swag bags at GBK's Luxury Gift Lounge for the 2012 Primetime Emmys.
Hugh Bonneville, Stephanie Drapeau, Nia Peeples, Kaley Couco, Jenny McCarthy and Paula Abdul are among the celebrities who have received Torney's photography. Her imagery can also be seen in the 2011 thriller, "The Roommate," with Minka Kelly and it is the focus of a new, nationally distributed 2013 calendar.

CHICAGO (AP) - The average price for a gallon of gasoline across the U.S. is up to $3.67 a gallon.
That's an increase of 12 cents in the past week and 42 cents in the past month.
Oil analyst Patrick DeHaan, with GasBuddy.com, says the reason, as usual, is the rising price of oil.
DeHaan says he's surprised to see the price jump so high in February when demand is normally low, and he's now concerned about what might happen next month.
DeHaan explains, "tradionally gas prices rise anywhere from 40 to 60 cents a gallon in late March through early May." He says if that happens this year "it will easily send the national average over $4.00 a gallon."
