Rossija rocks

A proof for the hipness of this blog: Radio FM4 has been airing Lykke Li's 'Little bit' since a bit more than a week, titeling her as the new big thing from Sweden. Ahem. First mentioned on this blog in this story. Watch out for the date.

So much to self-praise. Now to socialism in actual practice. A friend of mine, who is at the moment living in beautiful Soviet Union Russia, sent me this nice little video.



I wouldn't be surprised, if this shiny little song became popular among hipsters and indie-ists in, say, three or four months.

Some lovely music

Here's some stuff I currently like listening to:

Cut Copy - Hearts on Fire
M83 - Graveyard Girl
Kettcard - Graceland
Ladytron - Ghost

so looking forward to tomorrow. end: loneliness.

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?
