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...

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 ...

the america chronicles '22: austin I - city of the violet crown.

sighted on the way to austin: the texas colorado river . but beware, this is not the iconic colorado river ( 2.334 km long ) that has its source in the rocky mountains and confluences in the gulf of california, flowing through the grand canyon and other magnificent landscapes along the way, but this is texas' very own colorado river with a length of 1.387 km starting in the llano estacado plains in northwestern texas, and eventually ending up in the gulf of mexico at matagorda bay . why there are two colorado rivers in the US, i really don't know 😅 my guess is, that they were named by two people in different times, not knowing of the other's colorado river discovery. we'll meet the texas colorado river again in austin, so i will probably bestow more information on you eventually ;D a random road squirrel, also found on the way to austin. austin is about 187 miles ( 300 km ) away from baytown and is situated west from there in central texas. it sits at the foot of th...
