I like to jump off cliffs. When near the ocean I sometimes spend the better part of a day looking for the perfect rock. If it's not high enough I get dissappointed. If it's too high (or worse: if it's perfect but the water a bit too shallow) I spend a long time staring down, thinking about how it would feel. After climbing back down I can't relax and can't stop talking about it until my friends get annoyed. There's nothing I can do about it.
(Oh, one more thing: I got kicked out of a Christian Rock Band after one rehearsal when I was 16.)

Quote of the month:
Geoffrey Payzant interpreting words of Glenn Gould, 1984
"He is talking about what art shares with prophecy: the capacity to serve as a mirror to those who contemplate it. If one contemplates a work of art with intense concentration, penetrating from its pleasing surface to its disturbing depths, what does one find? Perhaps one finds the inner, vulnerable secrets of the artist who made the work. Or perhaps one beholds a revelation of the cosmos or Divine Truth or of the human condition.
Perhaps what one discovers is none of these, but is nothing less than one's own real self, revealed in its weaknesses and strengths, its simplicity and complexity. [...]
While a work of art might please its beholder, it also presents him with an occasion for introspection of a special and potentially salubrious kind; and that to indulge in such introspection is an active, proper response to a work of art and a condition without wich nobody can produce a work of art."

And maybe Jack Kilian. I grew up with "Midnight Caller" and it was the reason I was putting my tongue into my cheek a lot when I was 17 (literally, not figuratively - Gary Cole always did that on this show). It was also the reason I applied for a job at my local radio station. They gave me an internship and that's how the whole thing with journalism started.
(The endings were much better than the beginnings, but there's hardly anything on YouTube, I'm glad I found this)
a video for someone who just couldn't believe i was able to light a cigarette with (probably) the world's smallest matches
I've never seen this show ("Homecoming Warrior", I don't think it was a big success) but I own that brown robe.
heya! spiel bei einer Vernissage von Lisa Erb, nächsten Freitag, solo mit Klavier... im Raum16: steht hier in meinem myspace-kalender freu mich wenn du kommst! liebe Grüße! violetta
Na gut. Einen Fan hast du schon. Wir hätten da sogar eine neue Musikrichtung erschaffen: Nu Sad. :) Aber da ich kein zweites Standbein habe, geh ich jetzt arbeiten. Zitat Velvet Goldmine: Smile is lie. :)
Oh, dann bist du The Streets?! "Dry your eyes mate!" Aber wir wollen doch keine Tränen trocknen. Mach einfach ein Album zu dem ich Rotwein schlürfen und Kette rauchen kann. :)
Ich verstehe dich sehr gut. Aber du darfst nicht anfangen traurige Lieder darüber zu schreiben. Beonders verboten: Deutscher Hip Hop und Singer/Songwriter. :)
Achtung Werbung!!! Im Buch von Michael Sailer durfte ich ja meine Vorliebe für Purple MKIII (Coverdale & Hughes) breittreten - von daher wäre das die Besetzung, die ich mir mal gerne angesehen hätte. War früher doch irgendwie alles besser? Breitbeiniger Rock'n'Roll, kein Privatfernsehen, D-Mark? Ach...ich weiß auch nicht...
Hi, Steve Morse ist schon wahnsinn. Mir gefällt zwar nicht alles von den Dixie Dregs und seiner Steve Morse Band, aber bei Purple ist er ausnahmslos gut. Wer die Band live mal vergleichsweise mit ihm und mit Blackmore sieht, wird den Unterschied erkennen - vor allem aber hat er eine unheimlich positive Ausstrahlung. Guter Mann!
bei mir sind das: king creosote mit "no one had it better, ohbijou mit "new years" und auf jeden fall die neue modest mouse single "satellite skin", die beim ersten hören ganz schön egal klingt, dann aber ziemlich fetzt irgendwann. ich mag die ja eh sehr.
akademie sommerfest klingt so rätselhaft, wer seid das ihr? freitag bin ich in rosenheim, ships funky. somit verpasse ich wieder ein xtop-set. damn it. deine top 3 lieblingshits des monats, please.
haha! ich bin anti lady gaga. wie gesagt. - sie hat marilyn bestimmt eine ledernetzstrumpfhose gegeben, damit er mit ihr den remix aufnimmt. und ein glas mit einem eingelegten gehirn oder so. yeah! haha.
hier, euer redaktionsliebling hat einen remix mit herrn manson gemacht (haha): http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/06/11/lady-gaga-and-marilyn-manson-team-up-for-lovegame-remix
