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!

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...
