A thousand Tears (6/09-8/09)

"Hab dich lieb..."  "Ich dich net!"
(Im Wartehäuschen - Bahnhof Tauberbischofsheim)

Antony and the Johnsons: Cripple and the Starfish
"Zum weinen schön...  Für  Antony wäre melancholisch eine Untertreibung sondergleichen: Jede Note ist Träne, Schmerz, Hoffnung, Liebe und Sehnsucht." "Beautiful. Amazing. Listen!" (notonmyshift/blip.fm) "When I first heard 'Cripple and the Starfish'‚ I knew I was in the presence of an angel." (Lou Reed)
"And I sighed and bleeded like a windfall
Happy bleedy, happy bruisy"

The Pretty Things: Good bye, good bye (May/Povey)
"You get suckered into this smooth, creamy vocal thing and this dreamy feel just washes over you, and then the second half kicks in and you`re suddenly in the epicentre of someone`s worst nightmare...  Recorded at Freerange Studios in 1980. Before the week was out Phil (May) and John (Povey) were in a vicious cut throat street fight...about nothing, really..  I didn`t see any of them after that for another 6 years."    (Mark St. John, Producer)
"The headless pillow next to me"

Low with tomandandy: Half Light (tail credit)
"the near seven-minute end credits mix. It's even creepier, with someone whispering away in the background in a way that makes headphone listening a little uncomfortable... "bleak" is probably an underused word to describe Low's music" (ian/youcanttrustviolence.blogspot.com) "found out that Low had actually toured with Radiohead in Europe in 2003" (Dustin)
"One thing to you
You gotta go and do
You gotta be awake today"

 

Lene Marlin: Hope you`re happy
"Ich hoffe, dass diese Songs die Menschen sowohl traurig, wie auch fröhlich machen." (Lene Marlin) "zumindest optisch ist sie eine Bereicherung für die internationale Popszene." (Reinhard Schmirl/musikchannel.cc) "the feeling remains that the music is just going through the motions. (Ben Hogwood/kovideo.net)
"I can read to you the letters I wrote
All the words, you say you`ve never heard"

The Rolling Stones: I am waiting
"it's hard to beat the Stones for soul." (msbaby/blackcatalog.com)  "some of their softest (and at the same time, their most sinister) songs like "Lady Jane," "I Am Waiting," (Anonymous/music-city.org)  "1966’s Aftermath, the group’s first classic long-player, features a wider palette only their singles had hinted at previously, including the delicate “I Am Waiting”" (stylusmagazine.com)
"oh, yes we will find out"

Mike Patton: I Rumori Nutrienti
"The sound of an engine with a diaphanous blue light... rouses and nourishes the stomach" (Mike Patton) "alto saxophone John Zorn"
