“Consequences be fucking damned”, ey!? Made a corona test this morning after having symptoms, and sure enough, it’s positive. Not feeling great today. But not feeling too bad, either. Feels like a cold so far. You get what you deserve, I suppose.

Went to the Ghost concert at Lanxess Arena in Köln on Tuesday. And this was absolutely fantastic. So many great songs, well performed. Plus a great show. I’m usually not too much of a fan of big show elements, but this was honestly good and not over the top, so the music and its performance was still the focus. And I was also sceptical of that big venue. But we were on the floor and it was not remotely sold out, so we could get really close. The support acts Twin Temple and Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats were a great choice, too! We and our friends – and the whole arena really – had a great time! Although it was admittedly a bit careless regarding Covid. But, I don’t know, I think we really just wanted to go. It felt good to visit a concert again, consequences be fucking damned!

As appropriate for the Easter weekend, we watched a flick with a rabbitin it. And I still don’t know what to make of this. I certainly like theperformances, especially of Jake Gyllenhaal. And it has a nice creepyand mysterious vibe. But in the end it left me wondering what this wasabout. Love? Selflessness? And I felt the movie wanted to explain how itall worked, but then didn’t!? I should probably watch this again sometime.

So, I forgot to cancel my Apple Arcade trial. And on the weekend I had a look for a game to play. And now I’m already addicted to Mini Motorways. 🤷‍♂️

Regularly putting on this enjoyable and chaotic little album. Interesting arrangements and great playing has me coming back. Reminds me of old Mastodon and Protest the Hero. That opener is a banger!

First time in the cinema with Zoe. We had a good time. But at 4yo Ithought this was probably a bit much for her – although she liked it andpayed attention the whole time. But the fights, the whole YouTube-andsocial media follower-spiel and a long non-trivial story was pretty muchall new to her. But hey, you have to start somewhere. And when she likescinema, I’m all for it. :) The movie itself was fine, although itprobably tried too hard to be hip and modern (but what do I know).

Start to finish a suspenseful and very captivating journey. There’s notmuch to complain about. Loved the camera angles and the sound. And thewhole build-up is fantastic. Ace!

I don’t remember the exact moment anymore. But I remember that it was with a mix of disbelief and disappointment that I realized one day that there was no way to select the parent of an element in CSS. Wait, what? This can’t be. Why? Obviously, I wasn’t alone. Everyone who ...

Hans Zimmer just won an Academy Award for his musical score for “Dune,” and if you have seen the movie or listened to the soundtrack, you know why. Zimmer’s soundtrack for Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel is an otherworldly masterpiece th...

It’s their new one that just came out. It’s in constant rotation. Much easier to get into for me compared to the previous “The Violent Sleep of Reason”. The tracks on this one are so evil, which I very much like.

I’m almost sad now, that they cancelled all their gigs in Germany for the upcoming tour.

My cover of this Entombed song that never gets old.

Sound is not that great to be honest, but actually not much worse than what came out of the speaker. The signal went through the Eyemaster pedal into my overdriven Katana Mini. And I feel like that little amp/speaker can’t quite handle the amount of distortion. And also sending the backing track through there, too, certainly doesn’t help. I also haven’t figured out what the best postitioning of the little microphone is in front of the amp.

Anyhow. Great song. Easy and fun to play. Tuning is Drop-A#.

Backing track is from HumanPrey2 on YouTube. Thanks!

If a lot of scenes and the plot in general wasn’t so shocking and thelanguage not as coarse, I would say this could almost be described asbeautiful. It’s beautifully choreographed – both in a dancing kind ofway, as well as a cinematography kind of way. But it’s a choreography ofa horror trip. And the film takes you along for it.

Those monsters and the cave setting were actually really well done andit had some good moments. Unfortunately the plot and characters were notof the same quality leaving me indifferent to how this continues orends.

Very much enjoying the new Ghost! This one had me with that opening scream in Kaisarion. Much great songwriting and a great flashback to 80s hard rock and metal. This has great songs throughout and some of them keep making me smile. Especially Spillways and Griftwood, whose beginnings are Bon Jovi’s “Runaway” and Van Halen’s “Ain’t talking ‘bout love” respectively. Guitar work is so good and satisfying. And hiring Fredrik Åkesson is a great choice, as the solos are top notch, too.

I do enjoy some good Jackie Chan stunts. And this had quite a few goodones, if I’m being honest. But overall I had trouble staying motivatedto continue watching. The plot itself is mediocre, the movie is way toolong, and the jokes are almost annoyingly silly. I probably would’vewritten more favourable words if this had been a (max.) 90 minute affairinstead of the 110 it actually was.

Ok documentary. Made me want to watch even more of his movies again.

We were in a mood for Tarantino and decided to watch his debut. And itwas kind of nice to watch this right after The Hateful Eight, as Idiscovered that they share quite a few similarities.

Rewatching this after a lot of years, this was a great refresher. It’sstill his weakest movie, but everything else but a waste of time.Especially enjoyed Harvey Keitel’s performance. And that credit-scoreCoconut song.

A Tarantino film is always a guarantee to entertain me. This one mightbe not have a satisfying ending as his other movies, but nevertheless,it’s great. Love Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack!

Why is it that although we are now in the millions building and creating for the Web, only very few share their knowledge and experience on their own websites? Or, in other words: Why doesn’t every one of us have a blog? Zach Leatherman asked this question on Twitter the oth...

With Ukraine so much in the news, I started listening to Jinjer again more. Hope they are well! Love this EP!
