donaufestival day 3

rufus wainwright and scott matthew. both brilliant. both in a good, talkative mood. both with songs to make the crowd cry. but I enoyed scott more than rufus. he has something deeply touching in his fragile voice. it was a very intimate concert, not that many people, cozy atmosphere. I sat in the back, listening, enjoying.

donaufestival day 2

wo anfangen? ich bin taub und noch immer begeistert. XiuXiu und Deerhoof spielten Joy Division und zwar auf eine art die durch mark und bein ging und mich manisch mit dem kopf nicken und dem körper zucken lies als stünde Ian Curtis höchstpersönlich auf der bühne.


die Fuck Buttons lieferten einen komplett unverkennbaren eigenen sound der mich die hände in die höhe werfen und tanzen ließ als gäbs kein morgen. die ganze nacht hätte das so gehen können. alles rundherum vergessen und sich von der musik einsaugen und umhüllen lassen. sie haben das fabulös gemeistert.


Dan Deacon. noch nie zuvor gehört. ein quatschkopf der gute laune und saftige beats verteilte nur waren meine füße leider einfach zu müde. aber auch von der ferne beobachten machte spaß.

Panda Bear. meine ohren dröhnen noch immer. mein ganzer körper wurde von wummernden basswellen durchzuckt, heftig. eine so fragile stimme die klingt als stünde er alleine in einer riesengroßen kirchenhalle. einzigartiger musikalischer wahnsinn, wunderschön. ein pandabär der einen ins delirium befördert und zwar ohne drogen oder alkohol. eben eine vom aussterben bedrohte spezies.

...failed revolutions

Ja, Panik - Eine Entgiftung - das Publikum vor den Kopf zu stoßen ist ihnen erfolgreich gelungen. Ich habs genossen.


Deichkind in Müll - eine Diskurs-Operette der Superlative


Bonaparte - unanfechtbares Hightlight des 1. Abends


and now everybody: Noooo, I'm against it!

don't want you to wake up

Teitur - Don't want you to wake up
Dont want you to wake up.
Stay under the stars,
Where noone can make us,
Change what we are.

Dreamers in the dark,
Following our hearts.

Try to be silent.
My eyes are too loud.
I sit back in my hiding,
While you're in the clouds.
One kiss away from what i have to say.

Don't want you to wake up.
Stay under the stars,
Where no one can make us,
Change what we are.
Don't want you to wake up.

Its almost the morning,
One foot out the door.
As i let the light in,
To love you even more,
May our minds lose the battle.
And may our hearts win the war.

Don't want you to wake up.
Stay under the stars.
Where noone can make us,
Change what we are.

Dont want you to wake up

very loud

shout out louds have been to salzburg touring their new record WORK. no one of us saw a chance in winning tickets on fm4 for the concert in vienna so we decided to see them in salzburg. 1st of april; matthias, anna, eva, lisa et moi on the road to salzburg, we drove from sunshine into the cold snowy/rainy/cloudy salzburg, checked in into a catholic youth hostel which was weird anyway but close to the rockhouse.

great concert. great crowd. me and my camera, what a pity that I am just too small in comparison to the tall guys in front of me, it was hard to take good pictures. the band was adorable, the set crowded with new stuff as well as old material. I was drifting away with my thoughts, letting the music take over my mind.

show me something new

you and I have so much to describe.
you have so much to live for, while I'm just dying to stay alive.

you and I have something you shouldn't try.
you have an eye for fashion darling, while I'm sitting in my room
and let the days go by.

so much to live for.

radio daylight, radio darkness.
show me something new.
show me something new.

you've seen things I've only read in books.
I've been stuck here for ages
while you get younger and younger.

so much to live for.

radio daylight, radio darkness.
show me something new.
show me something new.

radio daylight, radio darkness.
radio darkness, radio silence.
show me something new.
show me something new.

blue skies

wonderful vienna in the early springtime. why can't it look like this all year long? blue skies with sparely spread white clouds and the right amount of sunshine make my heart go faster and my mouth smile widely. It has a slightely melancholic though sweet taste of freedom, it's when the daydreaming becomes more regular, and the thoughts go crazy. spring brings life into the city, into the people, life and joy. please stay long...

tell me just how good it can be

Been to london and met great new people, new faces with new lives and new, interesting stories to tell.

Came back to vienna, did exams, failed exams, went out with the ones I love, met new people, just lived, it's all about live and give as good as you get! I read milan kundera recently, I drank too much alcohol recently and I've been to great partys recently, I think I'm about to feel, I'm about to live and it's all about me, about what I like and what I want, things please me and I'm happy and that's how it should go on!

(pling plong at fluc - the crowd, me within, currently taking the picture)

I've been to seabear concert and again fell in love with bleached or at least light-blue jeans and pullovers!
