video selection #1.

welcome to my first video selection installment!

i try to share my musical tastes here from now on ( be warned, they change continiously, few years ago i was all into heavy guitar music, then i fell in love with the 60ies and now i start to like electro/dance/minimalistic stuff ). so. it'll be a huge mish mash around here, but whatever. it's simply me.

dangerous muse . i want it all
well, i had to warm up to this song, but slowly i like it. i did like the video more than the music first, but when you listen more and more to it, it starts being an earworm.

gil scott-heron . me and the devil
funky, souly, jazzy. and thoughtful. and the video is so gorgeous in its very own style. even though it's kind of creepy at times.

muse . muscle museum
muse is an all time favourite of mine. i can't say no to their dramatic, apocalyptic music and bellamy's ability to screech like a woman! the video is a muscle museum indeed, when you look at all those crying faces. those facial muscles are very expressive, haha.

pj harvey . to bring you my love
a very badass and dark pj harvey. i totally love how she sings stretches her voice several times. you know, so it sounds like ghosts crying for help. killer song!

dan mangan . robots
what a wonderful video about loosing a game and winning friends. robots need love too, as well!

the week's most loved:

What Else Is There? from Röyksopp on Vimeo.

röyksopp . what else is there?

may '20: seeking modernism.

super pink rhododendron buds emerging! i start off this post with some flower images to appreciate and praise the time of spring, especially the month of may, which is the most abundant spring month to me personally. all the blossoms, all the fresh greens amass during may, and my heart and mind are hardly ever able to not frolick & gush about it all! for this post i am returning to one walk i did with the sole purpose to find a special mid-century villa in königstein ( which would ultimately prove to be a failure - i did find it, but i couldn't approach it properly to have a good look at it and only ever saw a tiny bit of the garden/forest side ). the whole walk was not a letdown, though, as i did find some other mid-century & brutalism gems and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the old spa town in the taunus mountains. rhododendron shrubs yield all kinds of different blossoms in myriad colours, they are easy to breed, therefore a wide variety can be found all over the wor...

autumn impressions.

a selected assortment of autumn related things. ( or things that don't fit into a 'bigger picture' ) i will get around to posting my autumn vacation photos as well. my parents and me visited france a second time and i think it was almost as wonderful as the first time. but i'll get to that soon. moth in front of a vinyl shop window. i bet you know who's smile it is that strikes at you from the record. elvis! i went mushroom hunting again, this time with jasmin, the best mushroom finder i have :) but we didn't have a lot of time together this past autumn, i am very sad to admit this. she's one of our apprentices in the serving area in our market, but recently she's on exchange in a different outlet until january. but soon we'll have her back and our sporadic meetings will stop being sporadic. i think times like these make me realize that there's something worth living for. mostly my life is very grey and i'm so thankful to s...

of dragons & critters and yin & yang kittens.

my cat shadow is a very prolific cat and gives birth to baby sweethearts annually. we always let them grow up until they're old enough to be given away. growing up in a huge garden where they can roam around freely - isn't that the best way to grow up? it's always a joy to visit my parents and my cat in that time of the year. i have also included some pictures of a little rhine trip i made in the middle of may. and the occasional random ones that didn't fit somewhere. rhine wood dragon. sitting on the rhine beach enjoying the beautiful day. my stone collection of the day. ( i seriously have a lot of stones in my home. i love to collect them! ) the river rhine near eltville. random skull assortment ( shot this at the naxoshalle in frankfurt - i was there for a japanese movie festival ) rosey roses. they also smelled heavenly. raindrops on my window. chameleon tail. i adore spirals. baby kittens drinking momma m...
