Hey there! One of my songs recently was featured in C.C. Chapman’s Accident Hash podcast. You can listen to the whole podcast here. This is so exciting. Be happy for me. Like now.

Read this (if you haven’t already). And pray to God this year will either be a lot better or a lot worse. Because the mediocrity drives me crazy. I want to be either snarky or enthusiastic when writing about bit. Either one would satisfy me.

So, here’s what I’m sending out for the High School CD Swap. I am late anyway, but obviously the post office decided to freaking close early on the day I finally managed to get my stuff together. For those of you who are interested, here’s what’s on the mix. I tried to remember the music […]

You remember when I said I kind of love Randy Newman. Yeah. I recently re-disocovered sail away and now I like to sing along to ‚Last Night I Had a Dream‘, ‚Political Science‘ and ‚Simon Smith and his Amazing Dancing Bear‘ at top notch. Preferably while I’m washing the dishes. I just thought about how […]

I think I love Randy Newman and I really start to like Reba McEntire. You can blame American Idol for the latter. The Randy Newman thing just happened. It both sounds kind of wrong, but it’s actually really great.

Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins Rilo Kiley Cat Power Beth Orton Hello Saferide The Clientele Come on, you do trust me, don’t you? I really don’t know what else to write other that I love music. Especially when it’s really good.

I think anybody who lists Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey as their favorite singers should be thrown out of the American Idol contest effective immediately. The reason should be obvious. So, sorry Heather, I don’t think I have even heard you sing, but you just failed the most basic musical taste test. Make room for […]

I can’t help but loving the video to Beth Orton’s „Conceived“, mostly for two reasons. a) Beth Orton. She’s lovely. 2. Muppets. Not Muppets muppets, but very much alike those and so cute. I want a little green furry friend, too. You can find it here. Oh my, this is so cute. The mice on […]

Because it is such a hit, here’s another example of how good exactly we Germans are at singing. Enjoy. And please don’t sue me. (It seems not right to file this under „On Music“, but I do it anyway.)
