E. B. thought a car would have suit me back those days...

Ill have the first drive of my life by myself in half an hour...and I think now while listening to Interpol, about this very beautiful woman, who once told me that she totally saw me driving a car..it was a long time ago, so long ago that she got married, have (at least) one child....
but I finally got it myself and am going for a drive

maybe with the Soundtrack of "Drive", to make it completely sentimental...

Dear John

...yesterday I was in this one bar in Berlin where I deejay from time to time ( also a lot of records of yours) and was listening to some tracks, sipping Brandeburger beer...after the "Rebirth of the Cool" by your old chap Miles, your "Ballads" with your quartet made its come back in my ears...what a surprise! What an epiphany of warm sounds and smooth atmosphere...

Oh man, you cannot believe how happy and uniquely moved your music still makes me, even more when your tracks come unexpected...
I regret so much that I never had the chance to see you live, neither the chance to say that you were still playing by the time I am born...

April 5th 2012

I read the interview with D.Barenboim on this week die Zeit and I felt so enticed that I bought tickets for a concert at the Staatsoper.
One spare card still available

...still it was time for Germany to welcome it...

One record per week - one week with a record

This album is a must if you listen to me
The guy is bliss on a piano

I am considering a feature of this blog nobody reads where I write down my gotta-listen-to-it record of the week

Number 0 is out now

P.S. On NPR you could listen to the whole of it in streaming
Long live to (this kind of) Jazz

New words (for me) and old habits (for everybody)

Yesterday I was thinking about the idea of using internet with the bohemian, idealistic and shallow attitude by which you believe you do good simply by clicking or re-tweeting...
Today I found the word for it...

Slacktivism

Which I believe is very contagious though I am confident I am immune to it...

Greenwood playing Reich being hacked

How comes you are here?

If you happen to read this blog, please think that you either landed here by chance, in which case we could both thank internet for that (unless you want to sell me porn), or you googled my name, in which case you are a voyeuristic geek and should focus more on your friends on FB, LinkedIn, Orkut or Google+ (if you still remember your logindata).
In the very remote case you googled me because of a job opening, you should definitely read my CV and my cover letter and let this aside.

Whichever way you should listen to Wrecking Ball by B. Springsteen

Verdammte Scheisse

This is the trouble
