There is this really hilarious sketch of German comedian Hape Kerkeling about Finish Eurovision songs (even if you don’t understand German it’s still great!). I always thought he had made up the songs but…
…BUT! These songs really exist!
Song no.1 was performed in 1988 by “Boulevard”:
Song no.2 was performed by Fredi (!) in 1976! And I can’t say which is more funny – Hape Kerkeling or the original:

Okay, wahrscheinlich hab ich’s nur wieder nicht mitgekriegt, aber gerade bin ich auf YouTube auf den deutschen Trailer zu New Moon gestoßen (die Stimmen sind lange nicht so gut wie im Original) und was sehe ich im Abspann? Kinostart ist nicht – wie es bislang hieß – der 2.Januar 2010, sondern nun doch schon der 26.November 2009 (also nur 6 Tage nach der Weltpremiere)!
Hier der aktuelle Trailer im Originalton (aber mit deutschen Untertiteln – und dem englischen Premieredatum):

Here are two videos I made from our nephews. So here is Samuel (7 months old) speaking his mind on a hot and humid summer day:
And here comes his brother Lorenz (3.5 years) with his new bubble pipe
(but somehow the camera is more interesting):
Accidentally stumbled across this song again today on tv and remembered the great times I had while living in Speyer when the “Supernatural” album of Santana was all new. We played this song on and on in the bar and club that was part of the house I lived in by then. Here it is: Enjoy!
Couldn’t be long before the video would appear on YouTube:
Before it was broadcasted on Viva last night, it had been already online on the Viva-website but apparently only visible to users with a German ip (which imho wasn’t fair). That’s why I had made some Screenshots for the fans I know abroad.
The video seems to relate to “Hunting High and Low” in a few camera perspectives and the idea of the floating bubbles…
… reminded me of the moving ray of light in “Analogue”.
I only wonder what the bubbles and especially huge bubble at the end of the video are meant to symbolize.
Any ideas out there?
After Werder Bremen losing the final of Uefa-cup today there was one song immediately coming up in my head: “Make it always be too late” by Del Amitri performed live by Justin Currie. So browsing through related videos on YouTube I stumbled upon this interview (2 parts – as part 3 didn’t load) with Justin – who imho is one of the (as he’d most probably add) “fucking” great musicians ever:

Here we are back from a gorgeous concert of Angelo Branduardi. He played in the concert hall of the Bonn Brückenforum that is only five minutes walk from where we live.We had already been to one of his concerts there beofre and so we knew it was going to be a great evening.
Our seats were on the right outside but third row, so we could still see quite well. The only problem was the fact that the right front speaker was almost in front of us so the sound got a bit rattling for us sometimes.
In the first part Branduardi – who praised the Germans to be his most understanding and faithful audience – presented songs from his Francesco program (see introduction and finale) starting and ending this part with “Il Cantico delle Creature”. Here’s a short video I made of this song:
After a short break he started the good old songs that everybody knew. Several of my favourites were played too, like “Vanità di Vanità” or “Ballo in fa diesis minore” (song starts at 5.38 in this video but for those who understand Italian it’s worth to listen to what he tells there too!).
My video of “Alla fiera dell’est”:
Of course il maestro got standing ovations and had to play several encores including “Cercando l’oro” (to make the audience sing along), a wonderfully fragile version of “O sole mio” and “La luna”.
I realised there were some other people taking videos or photos, will have to search the web within the next days 
Grazie per una grandissima sera, Angelo!

Found this video through Andrea and it made me think…What would have become of people I know, what would have become of me, if we hadn’t been in this educative system? Have we preserved our potential? Are we using it now? And what do we teach to our children? Do we help the make the most of their potential?
20 minutes worth watching!
