“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!

🎬 Donnie Darko

Movie poster for “Donnie Darko”.

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. 🤷‍♂️

🎧 Bleeder – Mutoid Man

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!

🎬 Rabbit School: Guardians of the Golden Egg

Movie poster for “Rabbit School: Guardians of the Golden Egg”.

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!

CSS :has( ) A Parent Selector Now

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 ...

Don’t Play It Like the Flute

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...

🎧 Immutable – Meshuggah

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.

🎥 Wolverine blues

Wolverine blues

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!

🎬 Climax

Movie poster for “Climax”.

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.
