Go check out Pandora by the Music Genome Project. A friend of my mother’s recommended it and I was very sceptical at first, but it works and it is great and so much better than I expected. In short: I am thrilled! I wouldn’t know about Paula Kelley if it weren’t for Pandora.

While talking to Ehle on AIM I managed to both cut and subtitle one of the more hilarious clips of the German Idol for her. I still am amazed at my film-editing skills. However, all this work shouldn’t be kept from all of you. It’s 30 MB for a one-minute clip, but I would say […]

I guess it’s spring, I didn’t know It’s always seventy-five with no melting snow. Does He Love You? – Rilo Kiley

Today we installed our new radio/CD player in our car. Before we had only radio and tape deck and that just didn’t seem enough. Now we can listen to radio AND listen to CDs AND listen to MP3s AND plug in any MP3-player (including my iPod) when driving. As great as this is it also […]

Story #1: About nine years ago there was a song played on the radio that I really liked. I tried very hard to find out its name and the singer, but I failed. I just failed. Although I knew part of the lyrics and I think I even had it on tape somewhere, I just […]

Mostly because suddenly there were a lot of good German singers and bands. Where the hell did they come from? Why weren’t they there before? […]

All of you, go go go to Womenfolk RIGHT NOW. Robbie has put up lots of Christmas songs for you and you alone to download. I cannot stress this enough: GO! His musical taste is really really good and there’s no good excuse you can make up not to check it out. See, there’s an […]

You keep hangin‘ round me And I’m not so glad you found me You’re still doing things that I gave up years ago Hangin‘ Around – Lou Reed

I just wanted to mention that I have songs sung in the following languages on my iPod (and therefore my computer): English, German, French, Italian, Spanish (only I think that’s just one from one of Caitlin’s mixes), Japanese, Icelandic and Estonian. Oh, and Welsh. I also have some Portuguese (namely Arto Lindsay) and one lonely […]

The above statement is actually more true than you might think. Fact is that I can look at my stats for my other homepage and for some weeks – and I’ve wrote about that before – one of my songs gets downloaded about 50 times on average for the last four weeks. I’ve traced it […]
