sad story.

good morning. i won some tickets for tonights TU FAWNING show in munich.
i still got a plus one left on the guestlist. if anyone would like to come, feel free to contact me.
meanwhile you can watch the new video for "sad story".


TU FAWNING - SAD STORY

a fuckin' luv ya!

my new favourite tv series. go watch MISFITS!!

seriously one of the best things i have seen lately. the story is about a bunch

of young adults who recently comitted a crime and therefore have to attend

community service. then, on their first day, a huge storms comes up, and all

of them get struck by lightening. afterwards they soon discover that they have

evolved super powers. this might sound like a ridiculous story, yet, but i tell

you i haven't been this entertained for full 40 minutes of episodes, for a long

time. at first there is this gorgeous british accent most frequently spoken by

kelly (who always reminds me to little britians vicky pollard.) then we have

nathan who is currently homeless to due his mother who kicked him out for

the crime he comitted. but nevertheless he doesn't seem to give a shit about

his current situation and always is a hilarous tough-talker. you gotta live him!

and then there is simon, the shy lone wolf who listens to 80ies post punk and

just desperately wants to be accepted by his social environment but always

ends up as the fool.

all this hilariousness is rounded down by an awesome soundtrack (the opening

credits with a song by the rapture f.e.). and it also made me rediscover

drum & bass!

here's my current favourite song from the series.


Adele - Hometown Glory (High Contrast Remix) by Timmy :)

the breaking of the day

JAMES VINCENT MCMORROW - IF I HAD A BOAT

do the lotus flower.

here is an extensive "thom yorke dance guide".

the friendly ghost.

this is a new british tv series about a haunted house called marchlands. it tells the story

of three families that lived in the same house over several decades, the 1960ies, 1980ies 

and in 2010. they sooner or later all get connected by alice, the little daughter of ruth 

and paul, who resided in marchlands in the 1960ies. they loose their daughter due to a 

tragical accident where alice gets lost in the woods and drowns in the nearby lake.

i recently started to watch the series, by now there are 3 episodes and although i expected

a bit more spookieness, the show still gets me in line. lets see how it develops.

unfortunately i couldn't find an official trailer, but here's a tv feature that should do it, too!

the sparrow and the crow.

i am expecting an awesome new album from mr. fitzsimmons.

this song is a pretty good foretaste of what is to come.

WILLIAM FITZSIMMONS - THE TIDE PULLS FROM THE MOON

blue valentine.

[...]

bloom.

so the new record is out, huh? one day earlier than announced. and with it comes a brilliant video for the song lotus flower. brilliant, because i love people who are not afraid to express themselves by dancing like they just don't care. let's dance a little bit with mr. thom yorke.

Radiohead - Lotus Flower

motioning.

i thought about sharing some thoughts about the books i am currently reading.
the first book is going to be this one:

DANIEL GLATTAUER - GUT GEGEN NORDWIND / LOVE VIRTUALLY

(german and english versions)


about the book:

"It begins by chance: Leo receives emails in error from an unknown woman called Emmi. Being polite he replies, and Emmi writes back. A few brief exchanges are all it takes to spark a mutual interest in each other, and soon Emmi and Leo are sharing their innermost secrets and longings. The erotic tension simmers, and it seems only a matter of time before they will meet in person. But they keep putting off the moment - the prospect both excites and unsettles them. And after all, Emmi is happily married."

my thoughts:

I bought this book, toghether with some others, at the fleamarket. i had heard of it before, put it on my to-read list, but never felt like buying it first hand. it is a quick read (about 200 pages) and i would have probably read it in one go, but unfortunately didn't have the time. so, yes this book is quite good. i recommend it to everyone who is interested in the development of emotions and expectations that can grow in our modern world wide web generation where the internet has become incredibly indispensable. i quickly was able to identify myself with boths protagonists, because, yes, i've been there. twice. (sort of) in the end i felt quite unsatisfied, but in a good way. i wanted to know how will their lifes go on, so much about how captivating that story was written to me. and yes! today i saw, there is a sequel! i am excited to read that one!

CLARE MAGUIRE - THE STRANGEST THING

desperation day.

before i'm off to watch katie perry in the new how i met your mother episode, i leave you with another video. its from a band called BRAIDS, they remind me a little bit of BATTLES. and guess what, they're canadian. i swear, i am not even especially searching for it, it just keeps coming to ME! ;)

BRAIDS - PLATH HEART

tumultuous sea.

another canadian gem.

EVENING HYMNS - DEAD DEER

the whole truth.

i want to use the opportunity a public platform like this offers, to introduce you to some friends of mine, who make some fine music. at first there is a collective called UEKI (former MISS UEKI) that develops music by sending unfinished tunes via mail back and forth through the internet as by now the members of the band live in two different cities, munich and berlin. in general, it's a very open project, as the band puts up every track to their website, so other interested musicians are able to make remixes of the original songs.

here are some links to give you more information:

and here is something to watch and listen to:


Ueki vs. Harinezumi from fiesefalle.de on Vimeo.



the other person i want to introduce is CARLOS CIPA who plays piano and composes
film scores. there is nothing much left to say, as i think the music is convincing for itself:

i don't want to take this trip alone.

VILLAGERS - HOME

MENOMENA - DIRTY CARTOONS
