Do you have Pink Floyd‘s “Animals” album?

It was like deja vu yesterday in London when a giant inflatable pig, 30 x 15 feet, flew over the Battersea Power Station.

Organizers had hoped to use the original vinyl pig that’s been in storage for 35 years, but it had leaks so they created a new one.

The Storm Thorgerson and Hipgnosis album cover was recreated to mark the release of remastered versions of Pink Floyd’s 14 studio albums.

Along with the reissued versions coming out on September 27, a two-disc “Experience” version of “Dark side of the Moon” and “The Discovery Studio Album Box Set” will be released. “Experience” versions of “Wish You Were Here” and “The Wall” are planned for the coming months.

Luckily, the promotional event this week went smoother than the original album cover photo shoot. In 1976, the pig broke lose from it’s moorings and floated into the flight path for London’s Heathrow airport. It was later located in a farmer’s field.

Tuning World Bodensee

1299526546 89 Tuning World Bodensee

This is an article presenting the German show named Tuning World Bodensee that it is much appreciated about American people. The show has an annual frequency and it was visited by West Coast Customs team, too.

Tuning World Bodensee is a German Tuning show, this year was the 4th edition and it was much appreciated and deserves all the credits. The Americans know what a good show means when they see one, so they are starting to love it! I must tell you that on this show were even the West Coast Customs team! What can you say about that?

Last year the organizers of Tuning World Bodensee were excited because they were having over 93,000 visitors and that means a raise with 55 % from 2004. Many visitors, don’t you think?

This success can be explained by the fact that the West Coast Customs were there for the first time to this show and they were very appealed to give autographs. West Coast Customs example was taken in consideration by any other American tuning companies who understood that in Germany is “cash flow”. This is one of the motivations because of this tuning show, presented near Constance Lake, and was recording a record with its participation.

Totally there were almost 111,000 visitors between 28 April and 1 may. Almost 90 % of the visitors asked, they answered that the show was “very good” or “good” and they told that they will come next year, too.

Very important is that more than half of the interviewed have a “modified” car and the boring results shows that the “tuning phenomenon” is now even in girls mind and soul. It seems that girls are no longer pleased only with a ride as a passenger of a tuned car. so, 25 % of this year visitors were girls. As a mater of fact, even the winner of “Miss Tuning” contest from this show has a personalized Opel Corsa. This beautiful girl surpassed 239 other girls that were hoping to be Miss Tuning and to become famous for 412 journalists, 14 countries and 10 TV’s that were presenting materials about this “horse power” show.

This year, Tuning World Bodensee was showing that nostalgia for the 80′s and will be followed by the energy of 90′s. After the well known Best of Ibiza party was organized a Retro Dance night where were Snap, Technotronic and Dr. Alban songs. What a night!

This year composition was signed by Vinylshakerz project team, 2 DJs that are much appreciated and make the crowd go loud! The song is great ant stays in your mind, with few rows, but relevant. The language is exactly what the crowd is waiting and uses words like: “angel eyes”, “pimp my ride” (we all know very well what it is about), tuned cars and many other.

This is the art of car tuning, my friends! Don’t you feel the same way, too?
