On the 4th day of the renovations, the Polish builders have quadrupled. There's 4 of them now, all lumbering about the place while I'm sitting in my little corner, keeping quiet. I'm not having any fun.

Never in a million years did I expect to ever buy tickets to go see a German schlager act in concert. But here we are... schlager or not, she's a stunning singer and I just HAVE to hear that voice live in the room at least once, even though I'm not a fan of the music as such.

A pretty much lost treasure from the 1980s. The legendary Peter Wolf and his classic Come As You Are. Not only worth remembering for this brilliant video, but also because it employs that same guitar riff that the Stones used for Start Me Up, Queen for One Vision and Tom Petty for Jammin' Me.

Trying to mentally steel myself for the trial of endurance I've got ahead of me. Starting tomorrow, my tiny 2 room apartment will be invaded by builders who will put in a new bathroom, shower and kitchen. I've already been warned that there will be a LOT of power drilling. Give me strength...

Marlene Dietrich in the first scene of "Morocco" (1930). I saw this movie at some point in the early 1980s, probably on German tv and probably dubbed in German. I must've been about 17.
Anyhow, instant celebrity crush.

A wry and beloved country singer/songwriter with a sharp pen and well-honed sense of humor, Snider was perhaps the quintessential postmodern troubadour.

Sifting through the super deluxe "Black and Blue" release. And as much as I love "Fool to Cry", on the whole it's still my least favorite 70s Stones album. The added live tracks are quite a treat though.
Then again, that bonus cover version of "Shame, Shame, Shame" is best forgotten about.

I'll start worrying about AI replacing real music when AI manages to get anywhere near the pinpoint precision of a band such as this. Which will be never.
Anyhow, a new Akuruyo no Hitsuji video! I love this band above all else when it comes to Japanese alt-rock.
