aussies get it first?

one of my favorit tunes, wiley's 'wearing my rolex', , was featured in some mixes by the usual garage heads. you can image how astouned i was when i found out that two usual radio jocks from nova in australia put this song into their top 5, each one fo them. and one is a female!

new mobile?

after my second mobile in a row broke down out of the blue i wonder whether i should switch from my well known sony ericsson [both mobiles fainted without any outer influence] to nokia!

those small thinks should be that resiatent to survive a normal living in my pocket. i don't care about scratches, it just should not give up it's service without any warning!

one of the best movies ever

surf nazis must die!

question:

do i have to worry if the espresso machine is my best friend?

answer from a good friend: not untill it starts to talk to you....

bob is right, off course!

the pics from down under don't actually were taken in australia. but they we're posted by a blog from victoria, australia ;)

 

now to something completely different, music!

one of my preffered musical bands is bran van 3000. they only released 2 albums so far, as i know. one of them is known for the 3rd track: drinking in LA.

the second album is even better, the first song nearly covers the whole talent of the musical collaboration: the only clared sample of curtis mayfield [signed while he was in hospital, the last action he actully took, rest in peace. but it's a nice fact about this great musician, curtis]. the song's named 'astouned' and you already might have heard it.

but here's a funny story : in the posts beneath a video of bran von someone writes: "Dude I love them!!! I love this CD found it in my car!"

i really like the idea of discovering this band / music with an unknown cd you find in your car. maybe it's a used car you bought and find this cd..... totally love it.

old music to start the weekend

while i just bought zoot woman on itunes, i stumbled through the internet for some "old" tunes, which i really enjoyed back in the days [90ies]:

 

age of love - age of love [watch out for stella rmx by jam & spoon]

cherrymoon trax - house of house [ actually bought this at a mokkum / bonzai shop in the netherlands]

jens [mahlstedt] - loops and tings [out on superstition records, 1994] still have the vinyl

pics from down under

nice new sticker

on my way to work [the trainstation that is for the first way point] i see this nice piece of work

you've got to read between the lines

Bild schreibt:

Gericht stoppt Herzlos-Vermieter, ihm waren die fröhlichen Kinder zu laut

„Juchu, wir dürfen endlich wieder raus auf den Spielplatz – schaukeln, wippen, fröhlich sein“.

Ähem, auf den Spielplatz durften die Kinder immer. Denn es störte einen Nachbarn, dass die Kiddies auf dem vor dem Spielplatz gelegenen Garagenhof spielten, respektive Lärm verursachten. [und nicht den achso herzlosen Vermieter, der auf dem Foto auch noch unkenntlich gemacht wurde, aber dennoch aussieht wie der Franjo Pooth Wuppertals]. Grund für den Streit war, dass die Kinder [egal ob fröhlich oder grob marodierend] den Spielplatz nur über den Garagenhof betreten konnten. Das war einem Nachbarn offensichtlich zu laut, darüber hatte er sich beim Vermieter beschwert [nichts weiteres, dem Nachbarn war auch nicht an einer Kündigung der Eltern gelegen]. Der Vermieter sprach eine Abmahnung aus, wegen der Kinder, welche jetzt unerlaubter Weise auf dem Garagenhof spielten. Bild zeigt aber nur die Kinder auf dem Spielplatz und verschweigt den Garagenhof.

Manch einer mag jetzt denken: und damit beschäftigt sich sogar das Landgericht?

Immerhin haben diese Richter herausgestellt, dass es doch eigentlich egal ist, ob die Kinder auf dem Garagenhof den zu beanstandenden Krach machen oder ob sie auf dem Spielplatz Krach verursachen [was natürlich nicht zu beanstanden ist]. Krach ist in der Nähe eines Spielplatzes halt hinzunehmen.

Ich denke nur: und darüber schreibt die Bild?

Herrgott, wenn ich darüber nachdenke, wie alle anderen „Nachrichten“ in der Bild mit den entsprechenden Hintergrundinformationen zu lesen sind...... ich glaube, mir wird schlecht.

So schrieb im übrigen die Süddeutsche Zeitung darüber.

sticker with meaning

not just the typical "i'm too lazy/shy to write my tag on the wall so i use stickers" design. a cctv-camera covered by flowers. nice! would like to see more of these.

[location: wuppertal]

podcasts to remember:

the shop mentioned below offers weekly podcasts for new tunes [i for sure listen to the drum and bass genrecast]. there's also a genrecast for 'burners'

why.... stupid?

I tried to buy "andrea doria - bucci bag" at my favorite online music store, beatport that is, and didn't get the tune because of some stupid u.s. american market regulations. I would have spent 2,49 € on that track.
now I can get it on iTunes for 99 cents [or 4 bottle caps frome coke...].
shame on someone for this, mayor deal, mayor record lable etc

grower part II

here's a remix of shaggy feat trix and flix [yepp, the eu tournament song] done with the catchy sample of samim's heater:




heatwave comments on the colaboration:
"In fact, when you follow the global trail of samples, remixes and versions that Feel The Rush leaves in its wake, it may be a canny move by UEFA to give the song (and the tournament) as broad an appeal as possible. So we end up with a Caribbean version by a mainstream American star of a Berlin-based producer's smash club hit which sampled a South American folk song and was remixed by a San Francisco house/techno DJ."

update!

just updated the blogroll, may i introduce you to lars:

stupid [movie-]companies

one night after i watched [rec] i find out that although it's already been released on blue ray [first spanish movie ever] it won't be released in the us...... because sony already has filmed an american remake, which totally looked the same. the building [rental house in barcelona switched to l.a.?], the reporter even wears the same clothes.....

so, blame it on the internet: go and watch the real deal!
or compare for yourself:

and the original trailer for the uk:


oh, you gonna see it again:

a real grower

as you might know from one previous post, i really like samim's heater.
and now i'm quite pleased to hear this track on public radio....
released july 2007, still has a long way to go

haha, little fun....

there's more at kensington victoria
