The other one is a homemade chili sauce, not fermented but there is vinegar so it is still good. It is vegan, you use it as condiment on the side of your plate , like mustard or anything like that, fits well with rice. Not so spicy.
Those bottles were sold as bundle with the records and tape.

Radio-On-Ukraine with Dmytro Fedorenko Part 1

Radio On’s friendship with Dmytro started in the winter of 2013-2014. In a weekly series of skype connections we listened to his reports from the Maidan uprising. Those events turned out to be decisive in the further development of Ukraine as an independent state. Russia didn’t agree with the new government. The war in Donbass, the annexation of Crimea were small steps towards the massive invasion we witness now.Dmytro came to our studio to talk about all this, and give some insights from an Ukrainian point of view: the wars in Georgia and Chechnya were much more than images and words on TV and in the newspapers.To not allow the curtain of darkness unfold over our souls we also talked about how the end of his label Kvitnu opened ways to new horizons. You will hear the name and history of Oles Berdnyk, Soviet and post-soviet moods, Startrek, Zelensky, family, friends, days with three hours of sleep and friends somewhere in Berlin talking about this while trying to keep a light heart.Broadcast : 09.3.22Radio-On-Berlin.com

Mr. Vast threw one story after the other, about smacking the audience in the face, ass prints and angel wings, the downfall of the British Royal family.

The recycled vinyl was made of the ashes of someone who died of hunger (Hunger). (Knut Hamsun, in case you were wondering). The pink album can be bought and heard here.At this point in the show there is still more to come.

Shephard and van Alebeek continue the covid conversations. This episode was recorded close to the Bethanien building, in the park. They talked about the present and history of Teufelsberg and the change of the seasons. Weather forecasts, covid forecasts, vaccination forecasts, the usual modern day ghosts make their appearance.
A short history of Kreuzberg and an even shorter history of Kunsthaus Bethanien for people walking around with maps, nuns from Canada with their breaking news, aluminium hats, the locals doing local things…maybe we are all casualties, somehow…and has time lost its narrative?
If you have any questions, this episode might raise a couple more.www.radio-on-berlin.comRecorded : 13.08.21

It looks like a garden of an english cottage.

Radio On Berlin – The end of summer

Shephard and van Alebeek sat down in the junkie park right outside the Radio On studio in Kreuzberg. They continue the covid conversations amidst traffic noises, sirens, u-bahn traffic and butterflies fluttering around.
Icarus moments, homeless wasps annoying people eating cakes, there are lots of things to see in the park.
A bit of local history, demolition, Taliban in Afghanistan, meeting Momus at the Bahnhof and at the flee market, young urban people becoming older country people, Friedrichshain and Pankow, Curious Fox book store news, small talk in a big city, feeling comfortable in the warm sunshine during one of the last days of the Summer.
