13.06.08 — almost famous
Here’s our boy Buzz-T of Hamburg’s finest Fingerprints fame, representing all-out Hollywood style in a 31nord Legacy Sweater. The magazine is Gala Men, the german incarnation of yellow press for men. Not sure who needs something like that, but anyway.
02.06.08 — hip hop history
The people over at Switzerland’s first hiphop magazine 14k recently had a very bright idea: They scan and upload each and every issue of the magazine ever made, starting with issue 1, which came out in 1988(!).
At that time the magazine was handmade and had only 4 pages. But think about it, that was the time of Grandmaster Flash, Whodini or Mantronix. That is way back.
Thus, the whole thing is an interesting read and even better: They will continue to upload new issues every two weeks, in supercovenient pdf format. Brilliant.
14.05.08 — raum 25c
Our good friend and supergood photographer Alexander Basile has teamed up with his buddy Hannes Aurand to create Raum 25 c in Cologne, Germany.
Raum 25 c is a former flat turned gallery, where selected artists are invited to deal with the surroundings each week for the next two months. There’s a vernissage each friday at 6 pm, and in the following days the work is on display before on wednesday the gallery closes to allow preperations for the next vernissage.
More info and a documentation of the whole project (in german) can be found on their website.
See you there:

Keplerstrasse 25c

07.05.08 — New boxes
Spent some time today making new boxes to ship stuff in. Utilized our new monster paper printing machine to print them straight away. Came out pretty nice. It sure is nice to have all this stuff right at hand when you’re ready and willing to do something..
Happy unpacking for all of you!
05.05.08 — happy birthday!
Wow! We are growing old. It’s been one year already since we opened our little shop, and honestly, I can’t quite believe it has passed that fast. So far we can say it has been a success, and that not at last thanks to you, our loyal customers and supporters. So at this point, it is time to say thanks once again – you have been great!
To celebrate the occasion adequately, we have two new brands in the shop: Please welcome Peek Skateboards, a Duesseldorf based skatecompany with roots and Smallville, which is the t-shirt line of Hamburg’s finest record store & label, designed by none other than Stefan Marks and printed on shirts of his very own Lousy Livin Company imprint. Definitely nice stuff there!
Everything will be available online as well, just keep checking back. Meanwhile raise your glasses and propose a toast for one year of Paristokyopempelfort. Cheers.
22.04.08 — sub-tle's album is out - finally
Our friends from the great electronic music formation Sub-tle finally released their album on Onpa music. Yay!
For those of you who wonder what this post is doing here, let me remind you: Sub-tle were generous enough to do a really great live show at our shop opening last year which we really enjoyed, so it’s only natural to give something back. And as far as the album goes, let me say it in Klaus Dinger’s (of Kraftwerk & Neu!) words: “I’m totally convinced of their huge potential and their unique capabilities..” So are we.
13.01.08 — blanket benefit: ptp's on a charity mission.
Labor West asked several artists to contribute a blanket for a charity auction to raise funds for homeless women. Besides internationaly known artists, like Mischa Kuball, Tom Lemke, Jim Avignon or Tobias Rehberger, also streetartists and designers like Suki Bamboo, Oliver Räke, Paul Snowden and Faile comtributed. We also did a blanket, the result can be seen above.
The funds will be invested in a contractor’s shed, which will be transformed into a mobile shop for the artworks of the women.
More infos here (German)
Sunday 13th of January 2008, Alte Mälzerei, Speditionsstraße 7a, Duesseldorf.
Start of the auction is at 3 pm.
Update: Our blanket did quite good at the auction, which is good for the homeless women. More infos and photos coming soon.
