🎬 My Octopus Teacher

Movie poster for “My Octopus Teacher”.

I didn’t think I could relate to an Octopus so much. This film is a wonderful documentary about a remarkable and almost tragic relationship between a man and an octopus. Amazing footage, brilliantly told.

📖 Im Grunde gut – Rutger Bregman

Was für ein Buch! Es ist lang. Aber ich fand es aber durchweg gut. Ich habe über Monate der ungekürzten Hörbuchfassung gelauscht, wann immer ich mit dem Fahrrad eine längere Strecke unterwegs war. Rutger Bregman geht der Frage nach, ob der Mensch von sich aus “im Grund...

🎧 Heavy Breathing – Black Breath

Man! What’s this? Some Blackened Death’n’Roll Hardcore? It’s definitely fun. Very aggressive with a lot of groovy breakdowns. If you dig the first 20 seconds of this album as much as I do, I guarantee you’ll enjoy the rest, too!

Heavy breathing? Heavy rotation!

🎬 Oldboy

Movie poster for “Oldboy”.

What a trip! It’s quite the (shocking) story. And both the plot and action are brutal and certainly not for everybody. And it’s occasionally even funny, too. I don’t know. It’s unique. In a good way. And was a welcome change from all the hollywood-y movies one consumes.

🔗 Joe Rogan Experience #1675 - Quentin Tarantino

open.spotify.com/episode/5cdu4y60lq6QXyUbhMpVWH?si=3f22394959654c45

An almost three hours long interview. Highly recommended, if you’re a Tarantino fan. The last 45 minutes or so could be safely skipped, though, unless you’re much into Bruce Lee and some legal controversy surrounding scripts for some film and/or series (yawn).

Cheap Trick - Surrender

songexploder.net/cheap-trick

16:05

The song "Surrender" by Cheap Trick was released in 1978. Rolling Stone called it the ultimate 70s teen anthem, and included it in their list of the greatest songs of all time. It’s been in a bunch of movies and tv shows—including South Park, Scrubs, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, New Girl, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Cheap Trick formed in Rockford, Illinois in 1973. They’ve released 20 studio albums, they’ve sold over 20 million records, and in 2016 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rick Nielsen is the guitarist in the band. He wrote “Surrender,” and for this episode, I talked to him about how the song was made.

📖 Horrorgeschichten – Ambrose Pierce

Book cover of “Horrorgeschichten” by Ambrose Pierce.

Ich hatte ca. die Hälfte der Kurzgeschichten aus diesem Buch gelesen bevor ich es abgebrochen habe. Eine dieser Geschichten hat mich sogar halbwegs gepackt, als auch diese belanglos endete.

Die Geschichten waren nicht wirklich schlecht, aber eben auch alles andere als bemerkenswert aus meiner Sicht. Zum Glßck ist Ambrose bereits tot und muss sich somit auch nicht ßber diese eher unvorteilhafte Kritik eines Laien ärgern.

🎧 Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic – The Ocean

I have been listening to this atmospheric and progressive album quite a bit recently. The highlight might be “Devonian: Nascent” just because Katatonia’s Jonas Renkse sings on this one.

🎬 The Empty Man

Movie poster for “The Empty Man”.

Okay. The whole setup and plot was actually quite good and promising. And I found the scary scenes to be quite good, too. But as much as this film spent on story, atmosphere and setup, just as little was spent on explaining everything (almost anything). So in the end I found this a bit disappointing.

🎬 Black Bear

Movie poster for “Black Bear”.

A movie I could watch again. You never quite know what’s real and what isn’t or wasn’t. Throw in some uncomfortable dialogues, manipulative behaviour and great acting, and you have an interesting watch.

Got our first COVID-19 vaccine shot (BioNTech/Pfizer) yesterday. Having a bit of a sore upper arm, but that’s it for side-effects so far.

We’ll get the seconds dose in four weeks, and so should be “fully vaccinated” by September.
