WOW!

soutpark studios are giving away [okay, they're streaming....] every aired episode of southpark! that's nice.....

amsterdamse confusion

the rest of my crew besides the cox speaks spanish, i communicate with them in english. with my girlfriend sitting next to me at the restaurant i speak german. and when the waitress asks me something in dutch i can understand it but my answer is in spanish!

roeiveerkamp amsterdam

we're leaving a fair enough impression for the lack of training, a newly assembled crew and severe conditions for the spainish team ;)
and no, i'm not crying...

last night i dreamt of st. pedro

i have no clue what this means for mrs. madonna.
but for my part, my dream was about rowing in the old drummoyne rowing club eight back in sydney!
and i wonder what mr. freud would have to comment on this one....
it could be that i'm facing a rowing regatta in an eight in amsterdam this weekend and that i found out that one comrades from the old eight in sydney is now state champion...



drysdale vs waddell!

we`re going strictly international

after the cologne head last year, this year it's time for the
heineken roievierkamp! with a crew from barcelona!
same time as the head in london, same fun.....
next weekend with not so funny weather forecast!

interesting....

50% of all bittorrent downloads are tv-shows

sound of the moment:

burial, burial, BURIAL and some more burial!

give his latest album a try, absolutely worth listening.
nothing you would expect from the word DUBSTEP.
deep, dubby soundspaces.... not too concentrated on bass, a cinematic album.
i wonder why he himself describes his music as sad. sure, it's not uplifting but really interesting!

by the way, album of the year by the readers of de:bug, etc....

to all the bootleggers:

have been skiing in austria, crappy music nearly everywhere.
but here comes something entertaining.
dead singer FALCO recieves a new treatment like dean grey [bootleg of green day]

falco re:loaded

nothing more

pe number one!

one of the best concerts i've ever atended was public enemy live in sydney 2003!

the slogan during the concert was "don't call it a comeback they've never been away"
[yes, borrowed from another great group: run dmc].
and now they confirm the slogan with another great album:
how you sell soul to souless people who sold their soul?

after heaving heard the first seconds of the song 'harder than you think' i felt like a youth, 15 years younger! thank you PE

season greetings

i´ve got a day off at the office, time to clean up everything and set up the moving to the new flat.....
meanwhile, from the dusty/not so snowy, dtown harbour:

the first time this year

a few minutes ago i heard for the first time this year wham's last christmas [in a commercial for mobile ringtones]

some memories

of barcelona [while there is a mixture of snow and rain coming down outside]

after some really impressive human castels the teams celebrate by carrying the small ones like horses.

for a new asterix movie

did some rowing on my erg today while watching the quater final france v new zealand from the rugby world cup.....
sebastian chabal of the french equipe could be picked for the next real live motion picture of the asterix comic strips. and yes, he is a gaul!

pic bbc

typical for halloween?

i got up and found out by reading the tv-program on the loo that vox was showing the royal tenenbaums from 6:20 am..... another reason to have a telly in the bedroom.
GREAT movie! great music for the morning after halloween, cold, misty....

it's a good day

a) my erg arrived [that's really fast since i ordered it on tuesday]
b) we signed our contract for the new flat!
yupieh

more erg videos

all with the same theme:
devotion to a dreadfull mashine

beach body 2009

after the devestating effect of yesterdays first circuit training and last weeks wheights training i actually finished a lontime thought and ordered me a concept 2 rowing erg.....

that's what it looks like and no, that's not me, but yes, it's in sydney, and yes; it's meant for indoor use ;)

the beauty wihtin

why should i buy ski from gucci?
or why should someone buy coffey for more then 3 € when you can have a great cortado around the corner for just 1,20 €?
is there really need for a style-company to sweep the market with "sport glasses"?
why choose a poloshirt from the so called "designer" tommy hilfiger [he himself pronounced this title and picked the option for very unnatural looking teeth] when there a shorts from [for example] lacoste or fred perry, which have have prooven their style over decades?
why watch football/soccer when there is the rugby worldcup? [zero response in germany]
why listen to madonna when the "originators" as liam howlet from the prodigy refused to work with her / for her new album [his great words were " i could directly sell my soul to the devil"] or from jaques lu cont?

if anyone can answer one of these, besides the last question of course, drop a comment.

good news everyone....
