Not nerdy, but definitely not hip.

Those dancing days

A long period without posting finally has come to an end. Seems as if this blog has its downs from time to time. Only too human, isn't it?

I caught two nice tunes on the radio today and I cannot hold me back posting them here. The first is a rather new one, done by a Swedish (what else?) band with the indeed nice name 'Those dancing days'. Watch the video (watch out for those indie-boys - hilarious!), listen to the sound-file and enjoy.

Those dancing days - Those dancing days

The second song is a classic. I spotted it today in the morning on Radio FM4 in the nicest company possible. So happy.

France Gall - Le coeur qui jazze

Austria vs. Germany

We are slowly recovering from Monday's defeat in European Championships against Germany. No time for complaining, our national team lost against the stronger team, no discussions.

However, we took retaliation on another field - yet a more intellectual one: Austrian writer Josef Winkler will be awarded the Georg-Büchner-Award, the most important litterary prize for literature of German tongue.

Nice, nice.

My new hood

Happy.

Scarlett sings

Uhoh, long time no post...due to moving stuff from my old flat to the new one (yes, it's great!) i haven't had the time to post. Anyway, here is an update.

Scarlett Johanson, our short-time favourite indie-actress*, recently switched profession and startes a carreer as singer. The outcome is a bit weird, yet very charming. Here is the video. Sorry, there's no possibility to download at the moment, Mediamax is doing some kind of an update.



* for the period of Lost in Translation, what else?

Stress

Everybody's darling Justice freshly released the video to their song 'Stress'. They could also have titled it 'Hate'. The video is - to my eyes - so disgusting, that I'm not willing to post it on this site. Basically it is about a youth gang from one of these infamous Parisian suburbs ('banlieus') which riots through the streets of the French capital. It is kept in cool colours which makes the uncommented violence shown there even more unbearable.

I was shocked when I watched it for the very first time on Friday, but even more shocked, when I discovered the feelings it evoked in me: hatred, aggression, but also helplessnes. The most disgusting feelings I know, basically.

When my good friend Eranium and me watched it yesterday night, both of us dicovered another side of the video: As the members of the gang are mostly black or of Arab origin, it also transports a sentiment of latent racism.

Terrible sidenote: As the jackets the ghetto kids look so cool, I'm pretty sure, that they'll be soon available for purchase all over Europe.

Disgusting².
