video selection #2.

hey guys, i'm finally having an off time from work, visiting my parents and being generally lazy ( except of helping my parents in the house a bit ). and i have fast internet. and so i must take the chance and work on some blog entries!
i've gathered quite some good videos again ( and photography entry will follow soon! ), take a look!

fever ray . keep the streets empty
this time i start with fever ray's 'keep the streets empty' and guess what. you know that voice, huh? yeah, karin dreijer andersson of fever ray distributed to röyksopp's 'what else is there?'! i definitely am hooked!

the ronettes . be my baby
THE song. you know, dirty dancing and everything. i could listen to that song all day long... even though i'm not sure if i'm currently in love with someone, haha :P

well i can't decide which video to post next, so let's do a little triple version:
let me introduce to you 'die antwoord', a south african hiphop/rave crew! absolutely catchy and crazy! i still can't get over the fact how a woman can be so ... teensy ( and sexy at the same time?) i like the whole 'redneck' thing they're doin'. and the hilarious english accent ( netherland english? ).

die antwoord . wat pomp
aaaah, such a jump song! i want to behave as one of the hiphop guys when listening to this song. like... yo, man, whazzup?

die antwoord . enter the ninja
ayayay be my butterfly i need your protection be my samurai. CATCHY AS HELL! and yeah. that alienesque person is REAL! there's a word to that malformation: progeria. quite eerie but interesting!

die antwoord . zef side
zef = cool, rad, etc. and that's it!

okay, now we've been letting out our secret hip hop genes, let's go back to the routine.

POISON - IKWN / Jaakko Eino Kalevi from miikka lommi on Vimeo.

jaakko eino kalevi . poison
this video is beyond gorgeous and the pipe sounds really get into the ears. it definitely is some calming song. oh between the clothes are from ikwn ( iknowwhyno.com ), very lacey and drapey.

and while we're at calming songs.
how about a wonderful lullaby for elmo, the fuzzy redhead of the sesame street?

ricky gervais . a song about the letter n
i laughed so hard! i adore sesame street!

now i wish you a good night, hope i've got you entertained for a few minutes,
until next time!

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

july '20: a boat ride across the lakes.

starting point in malchow harbour. when you're in the mecklenburg lakelands you need to do some of the many boat rides they offer up all around the various lakes! that's really sort of the best way to get a little overview over the many lake destinations and being on the water and feeling the wind on your face ( or the rain 😂 ) and seeing the life in the water and the landscapes around you, it's just special, i think! they often also tell you historic bits and pieces of the lakes, informing you on possible sights you should seek out, too! when you book a tour, you can choose between big day trips crossing several lakes, depending from where you start, or you can choose short rides that last a couple of hours and perhaps even have a theme like a sunset tour or a romance tour ( possibly with romantic dinner for two options 😉 ). from malchow you can choose between two tour providers: reederei pickran & the blau-weiße-flotte . there are tours that include up to 7 lakes, ...
