Bla bla bla

Sorry, no news so far. At least none which were of anyone's business. No days off work during summer (ok, 1.5). Tired. I want those shoes:


Today everybody listen to Okkervil River, no excuses.

Okkervil River - For real

Big trip in December! So looking forward!!!

There they go, pt II

St. Thomas - Heroes making dinner

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'To live is the best way to die' said the girl from California i met yesterday night at Café Roter Krebs. How right she is.

A tragedy and a shame that i rediscovered St. Thomas not before the dinner party at my place earlier this year.

No Rain!

It has been raining for almost 24 hours now. Without any pause. The first austrian cities are starting to sink. Bah. I want sun. Now. I demand a nice and proper autumn, moderate temperatures and decent sunshine. Everyone supporting this 'Sun now!' petition sign this post with a 'Yeah!'.



However, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. There will always be The Beatles. There will always be Belle & Sebastian. Here is 'Here comes the sun'. Done by Belle & Sebastian.

Belle & Sebastian - Here comes the sun

Alles wird gut.

Lazy sunday, pt. II

I never knew that sober sunday afternoons are even more boring than hung over ones. But ok, on Friday and Saturday i spent a great time out partying and talking and watching movies...can there be any better?

So, what to do on a boring, not even sunny Sunday après-midi? Exactly - it's music, what else. I just learned that José Gonzáles is to release an new album later this year, the first two outtakes sound really promising.

José González - Down the line [linx not working at the moment, gonna fix that]
José González - Killing for love [linx not working at the moment, gonna fix that]

Moreover, THE big surprise of 2006, Zach Condon - the whiz kid behind 'Beirut', is going to release a successor to his monolithic 'Gulag Orkestar'. There are rumours that 'The Flying Club Cup' will be even bigger. We will know more in two weeks, here are some teasers.

Beirut - In the mausoleum
Beirut - The penalty

Finally, i found this cute cover-version of Primal Screams' classic 'Higher than the Sun', performed by this years Mercury-nominees Bat for Lashes, Fionn Regan and Maps (the latter ones being my favourites, but that's a different story worth).



Yes, and we have a new club in the city! And it is not Remembar-style!!! Named after Stanislaw Lem's sci-fi classic 'Solaris', it seems to be quite promising. Hope that i can upload some pictures sooner or later. Check out its webpage.
