🔗 Neuanfang mit Mitte 40 | WDR Doku

Ein Paar aus Ratingen lebt und reist seit 5 Jahren im Wohnmobil. Gute Idee, wie ich finde!

Noch vor fĂŒnf Jahren fĂŒhrten Diana Knigge und Phillip Alexander Schubert, beide Mitte 40, ein Leben im sogenannten Wohlstand: eigenes CafĂ©, schickes Auto und...

đŸŽ„ Bridge Of Sighs

Bridge Of Sighs

Playing Robin Trower’s “Bridge of Sighs” on guitar. It’s a bit improvised, though. Of course, I first got to know this song via the great cover version from Opeth.

And still figuring this video stuff out. This time, it’s filmed with my iPhone’s back camera and shared in 1080p with 60fps.

Update: Settings.

🎧 Misanthropic Breed – LIK

I’m mainly in love with the sound of this album. But it’s also an easy album to like musically: well-done good old old-school Swedish death metal à la Dismember and Entombed. Just listen to “Funeral Anthem” to get a rotten taste!

Also: how can one not love that cover artwork?

🎬 Green Room

Movie poster for “Green Room”.

Suspenseful and overall well done. Certainly had parallels to Blue Ruin. But the latter was better.

📖 Off Grid Life – Foster Huntington

Book cover of “Off Grid Life” by Foster Huntington.

This is a beautifully made book with great photos and inspiring approaches on how and where to live.

Unfortunately, though, I found this too superficial. Maybe that’s fair enough, since it’s actually more of a photo book than a “book” book. But I was hoping a little more for stories about what it’s like and what it really means to live off grid in these housings. So, in this regard it was a little disappointing.

But this reminds me to check Foster’s blog again, which I remember to be more insightful1.

 but which I haven’t followed in recent years, because the RSS feed was and still is broken. And which – sadly – is (by far) not an isolated case for RSS feeds. I’m sorry for this brief appendix rant about the state of RSS

🎬 Death Proof

Movie poster for “Death Proof”.

This was a whole lot of fun! Unrealistic, nonsensical, and over-the-top fun. A bit too self-indulgent (for Tarantino), and partly because of that a little bit too long. But overall dialogues, filming and the action were great! That car crash and the final car chase were simply spectacular.

🎧 Serpents of the Light – Deicide

For some reason, I was listening to this last Sunday. I haven’t listened to Deicide in years. But it remained in rotation.

It’s Easter after all.

🎬 Searching

Movie poster for “Searching”.

This was ok. It was mainly interesting because of how it was “filmed”: completely through computer UI. And it was suspenseful. But in the end story didn’t make a whole lot of sense.

I still wish more people/bands/utilities/companies/restaurants had RSS feeds, so this wouldn’t even be necessary.

Oh, sweet: NetNewsWire – my RSS reader of choice – added the ability to subscribe to Twitter timelines.

🎧 Only Ghosts – Red Fang

I recently came across their remarkable videos again. While a while back I mostly listened to their debut and “Murder the Mountains”, this time I’m givin’ their latest output a few spins. And I am not disappointed!

Videos are now served via HTTPS. This fixes playback in Google Chrome. For now, I uploaded a manually generated Let’s Encrypt certificate to my HostEurope webspace for that subdomain. So now, videos should finally be working for most people!

Gestern auf die “Heavy Metal”-Playlist von Amazon Music gestoßen. Als erstes kommt Iron Maiden, dann Metallica, und danach – natĂŒrlich – als drittes – ganz klar – gleiche Liga! – 


 

 


 Guano Apes! đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

Argh! I didn’t know Chrome doesn’t allow mixed content (HTTPS + HTTP) anymore. So, I should get SSL sorted for my newly created videos.danielpietzsch.com subdomain.

Update: Sorted!

🎬 The Godfather Part 3

Movie poster for “The Godfather Part 3”.

I think Part 3 was a great movie. The story probably wasn’t as enthralling as in the other two, so I think I agree with most critics it’s the least favourite film of the trilogy. But the whole opera bit at the end, that scream (!), and the end scene were very much worth it.

We got tested for Corona virus today. The results were negative. In Germany you can currently get one free test every week. While we thought it’s pretty unlikely we’re infected, we thought it couldn’t hurt taking advantage of this (after all, we do occasionally meet a few people). We used “Mein Corona Schnelltest”, and the whole process – registration, test, and test result retrieval – was quick and straightforward. Our test centre was set up in a mall where a shop used to be. I thought it’s worth sharing these two photos.

🎬 Adam‘s Apples

Movie poster for “Adam‘s Apples”.

This was trying too hard being bizarre. It’s tricky to make a bizarre movie. And in this case it didn’t do it for me. I think it also wanted to be funny. I didn’t agree very often (and the jokes sometimes went too far for me). Great cast, though.

“Crystal Mountain” Guitar Cover
My cover of Death’s “Crystal Mountain”. I wanted to try out recording myself – both video and audio – and see how it goes. The playing is far from perfect, but I’m reasonably ok with the take. It was a first take after all, just to try out this sort of thing. I simply hit re...
