Syl Johnson - Is It Because I'm Black

Zeitgeist består af Thor, Rosita og Skurken. 

"Zeitgeist" betyder "tidsånd", og dette er også i store træk hvad projektet går ud på. Vi vil skrive om alt det der karakteriserer vores tidsånd - primært om musik, kultur, kunst og begivenheder som vi finder betydelige. 

Under "photos" vil vi uploade fotoserier fra forskellige begivenheder løbende. 

I fremtiden håber vi på at vi gennem Zeitgeist kan arrangere forskellige events og fester. Store som små. Og vi håber selvfølgelig på en masse opbakning omkring disse arrangementer.
