Ich unterstütze Die Linke, weil ich glaube das wir mehr brauchen als die neoliberale Konsenssoße, um einen nachhaltigen Paradigmenwechsel in der Sozialpolitik, Bildungspolitik und nicht zuletzt in Kriegsfragen herbeizuführen.
As one of the few loyal Sonar users left here in Germany (it seems everyone else uses Logic, Cubase or Live these days) I almost feel obliged to promote it from time to time. So, here’s a bunch of Sonar videos featured on Cakewalks MySpace-blog:
Thierry Massard posted my answers on a “questionnaire of Marcel Proust”, created by Antoinette Faure around 1890, in his Questionnaire blog yesterday. Others that answered it are Gudrun Gut, Kenji Siratori or Alex Cortex, to name a few, so I’m in good company there. 
In case you’re into relaxed slow dub and ambient sounds, you might want to check out latest mixtape from the german duo Das Kraftfuttermischwerk. They compiled thirteen tracks from various Thinner artists into a 78-minute set that could be seen as an entering guide to the label’s world of slow dubs.
All tracks are full of atmosphere and there really isn’t a single track that I’d like to highlight, all are well made, the selection is just perfect. Summing it up, this mix is a wonderful companion for travelling to other planets and dimensions - or perfect background music when reading a good book in the bathtub.
I wanna tell you two stories…
First: yesterday saw another proof for the inproportionality of the american justice, and the greed of the RIAA and major record labels. The RIAA wins in big court and destroys the life of young single mother Jammie Thomas - for music. For sharing 24 songs on some p2p network. Humanity obviously is not something majors and lawyers care about. I say it open: I’m disgusted by those assholes (go ahead, sue me, I don’t give a fuck!) and feel like smashing some faces in. Of course I won’t ever do that, I’m a pacifist, but I’m sure it would feel good. Go read the full story over here.
Lesson: music is not for ruining people!
Story Two: a few blocks from my flat there’s a gas station which I visit almost every day, as it’s also a small supermarket. I get my pizza there, my beer, my playboy… well, and the seller over there is a pretty po-faced guy, almost never even saying “Hello” or “Thanks” or anything. So two days ago I came from a session with a friend and had my bass guitar with me, in a gig bag. He looked at the bag and mumbled something like “need new strings… six months old”. I was like “Err, sorry, what..?” and suddenly he started smiling and explained he plays the guitar and needs to put new strings on and that he doesn’t have enough time to play for his job at the gas station and what not. We were talking some minutes about music and guitars, and now every time I come in he’s all friendly and talkative.
Lesson: music for connecting people!
…that’s the question. I think I’m gonna blog - maybe people expect me to make this a serious artist page without any personal bla, or whatever, but I don’t care, I like blogging.
So: Get ready for some serious BLA!
