Congrats: “Occupy Wall Street” won this morning!!!! (October 14th, 2011)… I got up this morning at 5:10 am. Turned the TV on to find out what was happening with the Occupy Wall Street movement downtown at Liberty Plaza or Zuccotti Park. This morning at 7am Mayor Bloomberg wanted to clean Zuccotti Park, and use a new set of rules (including no lying down and no sleeping bags) which were designed to end the Occupation of Wall Street for good.
After two years of recording in Brooklyn (NY) Sohrab – with the help of Martin Bisi – is releasing his new CD in the fall! Sohrab might use a new artist name and the title might be Nu World Trash. He might release the CD on his own new label DooBeeDoo Rec. The photos of the cover and booklet were taken by the Berlin photographer Tasja Keetman.
