Zweimal zu zu Guttenberg:
Einmal ernst und eindeutig von Prof. Dr. Oliver Lepsius (Lehrstuhls für Öffentliches Recht, Allgemeine und Vergleichende Staatslehre an der Universität Bayreuth):
via Frischer Wind
Einmal kabarettistisch und gemein von Volker Pispers:
via Diax’s Rake
The funniest clip I have seen in a while:
Via Geo Graffitico via Starts With a Bang
My work came back from class
With notes attached
Of a place and time
Or how my body kept him up at night
He let me smoke weed in his truck
If I could convince him I loved him enough
Enough, enough, enough, ‘nough
He made me a tape of Joy Division
He told there was a part of him missing
When I was sixteen
He jumped off a building
Mr Petersen
I know you weren’t ready to go
I hope there’s room for you up above
Or down below.
It’s time to honor one of my favorite songs of the summer: Twin Jet Engines by Wires in the Walls (Homepage, MySpace). The song was just a borderline inclusion in my summer playlist, but it more and more grew on me and now it’s one of my favorite songs of the year. I like the slightly sad tune and the how vocals and guitar work together to support it. I also love the lyrics, especially “And I know this, too, shall pass“. That part always reminds me of a tale I once heard:
A king ordered the sages of his country to find him something that would make him said when he was happy and happy when he was said. Many came and gave their presents and ideas, but noone succeeded. Finally, an old man came and gave him a simple ring. The king asked him “How is this ring supposed to make me sad when I am happy and happy when I am said?”. And the old man said: “Look closely, your majesty, there is an inscription written on it”. And the king look more closely and indeed, there was a short sentences inscripted and it read “This, too, shall pass.”
Check out a live version of Twin Jet Engines or go over to MySpace for the original (Gasoline is also an excellent song, both songs are available on iTunes or Napster).
Sometimes, my prejudice deceive me. There was this guy talking, speaking of “us leaders” and “business world” and blaw-blaw, and I thought “oh no, not another one of those successful career people telling me how to be successful” and I was so close to switching to another talk, but then, the talk took an unexpected, but very pleasant turn. Well worth watching:
And it’s time for some music again. Great song, high on my summer playlist.
Corny song, incredibly stupid video and that annoying shalala-part, but still, I really like it.
Ok, I know I am about ten years late on this, but this is the most awesome series EVER. How did this get canceled after one season???
