  3. Was recently giving this rather odd record, which is like music for "those kids with their rock'n'roll" from middle-aged folks - full of those choral oohs and aahs that MOR pop was filled with in the 50s/60s.

    First time I listened to this I decided to toss it, but I kept thinking, it's Chet Atkins, it has to have some intrinsic value. So I gave it another chance, and you know, it's got some pretty decent numbers.

    Still, weird album.

  5. Stroszek und das tanzende Huhn

    Wer sind wir? Wo kommen wir her? Wo wollen wir hin? Sind wir tanzende Hühner oder Kanninchen auf dem Feuerwehrwagen?
    „Stroszek“, dieses kleine, schmutzige Meisterwerk von Werner Herzog aus dem Jahr 1977, schenkt uns einen faszinierenden Blick auf die menschliche Existenz. Ich würde den Film deshalb nicht gleich in meine Kategorie […]

Ich würde den Film deshalb nicht gleich in meine Kategorie „Lieblingsfilme“ einordnen. Einfach, weil es bei mir etwas gedauert hat, ihn zu verstehen.

  9. New #review today: "One might be immediately reminded of the more laid-back guitar instrumentals of the early 60s when the opening title track begins — The #Ventures, #DuaneEddy, The Shadows, #ChetAtkins, and the like. In fact #DaveLoveland played guitar in a number of instrumental guitar bands in his native England way back in the day, before he emigrated to Australia..." #ExposeOnline expose.org/index.php/articles/

  10. Since my baby left me
    I've found new place to dwell
    down at the end on lonely street
    at #HeartbreakHotel
    I get so lonely I could ⚰️
    Although it's always crowded
    you can still find some room
    for broken hearted lovers
    to cry away the gloom
    I get so lonely I could ⚰️
