Yes, indeed. Adjectives that came to my mind when I thought about Phoenix: sweet and gluey as hell. Well, that describes their last album Alphabetical pretty well. But not It’s Never Been Like That. Still Pop but not the gluey and way to sweet part of it. Great music for the hopefully soon beginning summer [...]

As a kind of follow up to my recent High Fidelity article. Yeah, I dare. But just for fun.
Well, actually, I don’t even own any records, just CDs. I’m a child of the CD age. But records sounds better than CDs, so I will use that. Whatever. Here it is:
5. Set Yourself On Fire, Stars
Simply [...]

This Book’s gonna definitley make it in my Top Five all time favorite books list, if you know what I mean.
I just finished reading it, and it’s really all in there: the music, the relationships and especially the relationships, and wether it’s important what you are like or what you like.
I’m a Rob kind of [...]

The »we-take-photos-of-huge-Apple-ads« business is huge here in Germany. Mainly because there are hardly any of them to find here.
In fact, the first one I saw, was a cool new nano ad, and I saw it two weeks ago in Berlin. Even localized (with German CD covers), and pretty darn huge. It was put up some [...]

I have to write about that. Ten pages.
At the end of one’s career as pupil, everyone (at least in Bavaria, don’t know about the other states) has to write a paper about a topic, that has something to do with one of the two main subjects you have choosen to write Abitur in.
I’ve choosen to [...]

Not in any way representative, but I liked them. They both don’t show the fucked up Berlin I like so much, but rather the »tourist attraction« part of Berlin. Looking back now, I kinda regret not having photographed any fucked up stuff, but you can’t always get everything right.

This one’s from the Reichstag. List of [...]

Today, the Bundeswehr and I agreed that I would be a lousy soldier. Now we both can happily go on and see us never again for the rest of time.

I’m obviously pretty happy about that. But the big problem remains. It may have worked out well for me (because the Bundeswehr and I are talking [...]

Uhm, no. I’ll have to go to the physical examination of the Bundeswehr (at least they have a great Coporate Identity) tommorrow, and if I’m unlucky, meaning healthy enough, I’ll have to become a soldier for nine months in a little more than one year after I finished school (yeah, I know, I’m even somehow [...]

Ich mag die Stadt. So richtig schön abgefuckt, alles, irgendwie. Und man kann nicht mal eben in jeder einzelnen Keipe der Stadt ein Bier trinken, wie im Provinzkaff hier (also, könnte …).
Das war sie dann wohl, eine der letzten Fahrten irgendwohin von mir als Schüler. Vor den letzten Sommerferien meines Lebens geht’s nochmal nach Polen, [...]

After looking once again at the photos, I took the same day as this one, I noticed quite a few photos with the same »topic«.

Hm, strange. Just my mood, or do small bavarian towns have this flair of hostility?
