video selection #3.

here are some very good videos to look at.

Out Of A Forest from Tobias Gundorff Boesen on Vimeo.


out of a forest . animation by tobias gundorff bosen # music by the national ' slow show '

i would like to state that this video has been cutely made, but it's obviously not cute, isn't it? i mean... while some rabbits are having a good time remembering the old times a bad wolf/monster/thing/evil rabbit? is plotting a murder. kudos to tobias gundorff boesen for doing such an excellent job designing and directing such a wonderful movie... stop-motion ingeniousity! another plus is: the music just fits!

Bowerbirds "In Our Talons" from Alan Poon on Vimeo.


bowerbirds . in our talons

another stopmotion video. quite spectacular one! and the music is raaaaaad. makes me want to dance around even though i'd have more important things to do.


ezra furman & the harpoons . take of your sunglasses

i like bob dylan. a lot. so it's somehow very natural that i like these guys as well.
hello yellow rayban glasses, won't you be my sunglasses for this summer?

70 Million by Hold Your Horses ! from L'Ogre on Vimeo.


hold your horses . 70 million

famous paintings are newly interpreted here and it's quite hilarious! watch this, it's worth it, haha <3

nina hagen . tv-glotzer

huge, huge idol of mine. since i was a child, because my parents were/are fans. she's crazy, at least far more than any lady gaga you've ever seen, haha.


ok go . this too shall pass

this here is simply amazing because of the domino effects. can you imagine the hugeness of the building? i tend to envision a building sized like... a football stadium?


son house . death letter

a very old goodie. and a song to think about. ( have you noticed the extreme changes in my musical tastes? one time it's happy go round and the other time it's let me die soon. but in EVERY song there is a deeper meaning for me... )


the white stripes . death letter (live)

and here's the crazy cover done by my most favourite band! oh and how chubby you are mr. white, haha <3


marilyn manson . i put spell on you

i love the song 'i put a spell on you' in general, there are SO MANY versions of it. manson's version is more on the very sick side of interpretation. and the video reminds me of my so beloved 20ies/30ies silent movies! and that is a HUGE plus for me there, you know!


lhasa de sela . con toda palabra

very calming, very balming song! the video is inspired by religion with walking on water and all.


o.children . ruins

the singer's voice i damn great! kind of like a nick cave voice he has, doesn't he? I LOVE NICK CAVE. but this band is kicking your ass as well.


janis joplin = legend. and since summer time is in the air, it's only natural to play this song. all day long, longing for summer to come...


jonna lee . violent playground ( nitzer ebb cover )

this is pure magic.
(ha and for all guys out there: she's NEKKIDDDDD! :P )
but the song's so otherworldly beautiful!


bonobo . eyesdown

another song to dream to. the dress that woman is wearing here is unbelieveable.


dark dark dark . wild goose chase

ha... now i'm not leaving dream land anymore... i'm sorry, but there is nothing to say, because... these songs speak for themselves.

Benjamin Biolay 'Padam' from mmparis on Vimeo.


benjamin biolay . padam

let's dance again! okay you don't have to dance like the guy in the video ( that was the thing what finally caught me for the song. first he is all normal and such and suddenly he wents all crazy, haha :D ).

i guess, that's it again.
wish you a nice weekend!

november: kickelhahn, himmelblau & weimar cemetery.

i had a week off in november and visited my parents ( as i often do on my vacations ). on a sunday morning we headed to the thuringian forest to climb onto the peak of the kickelhahn mountain. the kickelhahn mountain is the landmark mountain of the city of ilmenau . johann wolfgang von goethe , the famous writer & philosopher, often visited ilmenau and also climbed the kickelhahn. oftentimes he stopped at a little hut in the woods to relax for a while and on one of these stops he wrote one of his most known poems.  our little adventure didn't last the whole day, though, as we had a little date with the weimar cemetery to look after the grave of my grandparents and then to visit my cousin and his family. tiny peek onto the kickelhahn tower. thuringian woods - deep dark green. at the goethe hut. this plate shows the german version of the poem goethe wrote here. inside the hut. and here's the english translation. i love this poem so much, as ...

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 ...
