I didn't paint it, I wish I could but it was a present from some of my best friends, esp. Regina, who brought me in contact with the paintress Sissi Schupp. I love her pictures and if I had more money then...
Meanwhile I try to paint pictures by myself inspired by her work.
...was bad, too many people, bad weather and no personal headliner for me. This years FM4 Frequency Festival was a small disappointment for me, especially Oasis was really bad. Positive experiences were the Foo Fighers, the Asian Dub Foundation and as always the Sportfreunde Stiller. This is maybe one of the loveliest live-bands ever - 40,000 people singing their song "ein kompliment" - amazing!
thanks to FM4, I am now an owner of a cameraphone. To get more into the blogging phenomen I am just checking the requirements for a mobile blog. eventually you will see some pics in the blog in the near future
I am still waiting in Zürich and wonder why the sign says public wlan and then you have to pay. I did not pay and that's why these texts appear a day later. I wish they would offer it for free on public spaces. They can track my paths on the web and create profiles and therefore it should be free (eventually I should be paid for the information I provide to them together with my flight dates and so on, with which infrastructure providers can make money) I am just tired and want to surf through the Internet without paying :|
Besides that, my storage battery runs out of energy and they seem to have different power outlets here :(
Waiting in Zürich I am listening to the last album of the Thievery Corporation titled "The Cosmic Game". It's an amazing masterpiece of electronic music in the area of dub, drum & bass with some I think Indish influences. So far (also due to the fact that I am Austrian) Kruder & Dorfmeister have been the kings of electronic music for me. Their K&D Sessions album from 1998 is still the electronic music album. So far Tosca, the current project of Dorfmeister, could not continue where K&D ended. They also have great tracks and so far I have not listened to their album JAC, but I think they are not reaching the quality of K&D. (Neither does Kruder with his Peace Orchestra project). However, the Thievery Corporation is the first band which I would consider as the real successors and new kings of dub. Maybe they are a little bit softer but their Indian and Spanish beats top what I've heard before. Such music might not be that "cool" anymore but I love it.
I am back from Brussels currently waiting in Zürich for my flight back to Munich. It's amazing that flying from Munich to Brussels costs only half the price when you fly via Zürich. It's even more interesting because it's the same airline that offers flights from Munich directly to Brussels. What kind of world is this in which we are living in?
Volleyball is one of the most important things in my current life. Back in Styria I played with the TUS Feldbach Volleys (some people might notice similarities to this homepage ;-) I still admire this team and wish them all the best.
Here in Salzburg I started to play in the second team of PSV Salzburg (I don't like the webdesign too much, but never mind ;-) We won the title in the regional league of Salzburg, but there are only 4 teams and now we are looking for a new challenge. Eventually we will play in the second National League next season, which would be really cool. So keep your fingers crossed for us that we find a trainer and get enough funding to play and if we play, keep your fingers crossed for us to win.
Professional volleyball might be exaggerated at the moment, but who knows?
