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.

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.

Es wird scho wida!
Found that tag lately on a pedestrian bridge over one of the most crowded roads in Linz. It is written in Austrian dialect and says: 'It will get better'. The sentence expresses a very Austrian style of thinking, which I, in a weird way, appreciate.

Phosphorescent!
Everybody has to listen to Phosphorescent. No excuses.
What a shame that I missed that greatgreat music last year...would have definitely been among my Top 5 back then. Anyway, in 2008 it is consequently my favourite so far.
BUT. As it is spring and the weather here in L-City is so splendid, and the beer gardens are open and the ladies look more amazing than ever before, it is time for some, let's say, happy-go-lucky music. Hence I don't post a song by Phosphorescent, but by another band from Brooklyn, New York City, capital of the world. You shouldn't miss them either. This is MGMT. Disco, here I come ; )
