Vienna²

A nice week is over, i spent more than half of it in Vienna. And Vienna was, as always heaps fun, especially as i was there for two nice events: One the promotion of sister Karin to a Doctor of the Law!

The other the birthday of my yearlong friend Dominik (sorry, no pics for that event. All censored).

Fia? Sweden hash it?? Any explanation???

A place to bury strangers - Missing you

Party, party!

Had two days off last week so that my weekend lasted 4 days long! Yay, and i had party for three days in a row. But old man i am, i'm rather exhausted now. Even went to Mensafest, which turned out to be a good choice, surprisingly.













Oh how much i love LUI ; )

I am so happy to be not neurotic.

Indie hairstyle

Here's a nice site on indie-kids and their hairstyle. Pretty funny.

Family matters

Nice sunday. My family and me went to have lunch at an Italian restaurant run by Jean-Pierre from Sarlat, my favourite French cook. Had salmon and scampi, yummie.




Afterwards beer and newspaper in Café Stern in downtown Linz.

I have a formidable song for the day, heard on FM4 this morning while driving home, only moderately speeding. It is a cover-version of one of my all time favourite songs by The Charlatans, done by Mark Ronson feat. some kind of an English Chansonier/Singer-Songwriter and former member of highly influential old-schoolers Take That. Please don't stone me to death. Here is

Mark Ronson feat. Robert Williams - The Only One I Know

Oh you're so silent B.

Obviously I haven't been posting too much during the last two or three weeks. Reason: There is simply nothing going on. Additionally i hardly ever have my camera with me. And stories without pictures are boring (according to advanced media theories). So, here is the obligatory picture:
It shows Steff in Vienna, where him, his girlfriend Evi and me met for having a pleasant night going out. And no, we were NOT wasted. Just tired.

So nothing else to report, but wait, probably there is: I got tickets for 'Control', Anton Corbijn's Joy Division-movie, presented at the Vienna Film Festival 'Viennale' for the first time in Austria. Weeee!!! And finally I am going to Sweden in December. Yesyesyes!

Here are the tunes of the week:

Gravenhurst - Trust
Air Traffic - No more running away

Yes. Finally.

Hello everyone.
Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days;
We've called it In Rainbows.
Love from us all.

Radiohead goes new ways in distributing the record (find here), and no, i not find it cool. But anyway, decision taken, i will follow. Hey, it's Radiohead.

I can already imagine J. Greenwood packing the stuff into boxes. Selway seals the packets. Yorke writes the adresses onto them (bonus! -> free autograph). C. Greenwood buys the stamps. O'Brien brings them to the post office. And Ma' Greenwood is responsible for ordering, complaints and making coffee.
