The new normal?
2024 was the first year since covid hit that I went to more than a few concerts. I have to say it’s not the same anymore. I’m still wearing a mask when surrounded by lots of people for longer periods of time (trains, airplanes, concerts…) and it’s stressful in a sticky, sweaty concert location. Definitely…
Solar Power for our summer
I readily admit to being blown away by this fantastic new song by Lorde. It’s the perfect summer tune, I’m dancing naked through the Tiergarten each day to celebrate it! đ Enjoy.
Lastwagenfahrer
I’m going to use the word thing a lot in this post. For the intellectuals, you can substitute it by entity in your great minds, if that makes you feel better. Or just shove a book up your arse. This is probably the best thing, ahh, music video ever made: Straight and to the point.…
Jawbreaker? Jawbreaker!
Wer hĂ€tte das gedacht, dass ich die alten SĂ€cke noch mal sehe? Dear me! What a great show, sooooo emotional. I nearly cried when they played Sluttering. It’s always funny to see that these days all this sell-out bullshit is a complete non-issue, fortunately. Blake Schwarzenbach still has his voice, most wonderful, showers of emotion…
We came here to rock
I recently discovered that I’ve not made near enough ‚positive‘ lists in the last couple of years. So time to take up this nice tradition again. Plus I’m spending too much time on the move and thus have far too much time to think about shit. âș So, let’s start with a difficult easy one.…
Easter Bunnys
Easter happened quite early this year. And we’d made the decision to go visit the good old British Empire for one last time, before they depart from this world and move to their own fantasy reality. đ So, off to London on Friday, and of course it was raining. More or less all the time.…
Der Kasper
Wir waren am Freitag mal den Kasper gucken. Ich hatte ehrlich gesagt recht niedrige Erwartungen an das Konzert, wurde aber positiv ĂŒberrascht. Erst mal haben wir das Timing richtig gut hinbekommen und mussten ausnahmsweise mal nicht vor der nervigen Max-Schmeling-Halle anstehen. )Wird die jetzt eigentlich in Manuel-Charr-Halle umbenannt und Bushido spielt das Eröffnungskonzert?)Wir mussten nur…
Random rants and ramblings, pt I
I rarely go to concerts these days. To many smokers around. The smoke itself is bad enough, just makes me feel sick. But the real problem is the aggression inside me. I have to stay away from these people because I have good reasons to assume that rather sooner than later I won’t be able…
Der Winterweizen
Im Mai … kommt der Winterweizen. Was auch sonst?Seriously, we were dead tired, having just stepped off a 14 hour flight from Singapore in the morning but this didn’t stop us from finding our way to the Bi Nuu club in Kreuzberg to see the lovely John K. Samson & Co. It was well worth…
