Adventures Of Rama

Taken at Bangkok airport in March 2009.

You Wanna Be

Who you wanna be, don't you wanna be
You wanna be somebody
Who you wanna be
Don't you wanna be someone

(Everybody) Everybody
(Be somebody) Be somebody
(Everybody) Everybody
(Be somebody) Why don't you be somebody?

Three Wolf Moon

This offer is the funniest I´ve seen on Amazon in ages! It´s not so much the silly tee, but the mock reviews added by hundreds of  "happy customers". And the list seems to grow day by day. If anyone now screams VIRAL MARKETING, now that´s pretty likely. But to keep it going, I just added my review. But if you do dare to look for this amazing tee in my home - you won´t find it...

Start Of The Breakdown

The demolition of the Cologne savings bank old office building took months to complete. Some people wonder until today, why this classic complex was taken down at all. It did give way for the construction of a flashy new one, as can see here. Besides months of dust and noise, one life was lost during the demolition, causing the work to stop for weeks. The process of  taking the building down can be seen in this new photo section.

Cracks Down

Flatter you, sweep your feet.
Pick you up, and drag you in.
Stick to you playing with fire.
And it's so good that you scream.
And someone, sometimes, cracks down.
Someone, sometimes, cracks down.

Homer Building

This building in Munich reminds me of Homer Simpson, taken on Tuesday.

Not Only Rockers...

...reform, we learn today. Sources say the seminal Yellow Magic Orchestra is due to have a comeback! It has been quite a while since their swansong album Technodon in 1993. The three original band members - including famed Ryuichi Sakamoto - range between 56 and 61 years of age these days. Which sounds quite "young" compared to some of the old rockers!

Levi Van Veluw

This guys  art is just fantastic! Basicly art has something to do to come up with unusual ideas that make perfect sense. Which is what the work of van Veluw doos for me. And he must be very patient to have all this stuff done to his head. I mean the little trees and plants on my face would drive me insane instantly, but it must takes hours to complete and photograph it. Great worx!

My Cowboy Pants

I'm lonesome Cowboy Burt!
(Speakin' atcha!)
Come smell my fringe-y shirt!
(Reekin' atcha!)
My cowboy pants,
My cowboy dance,
My bold advance,
On this here waitress . . .
Yodel-oh-oo-pee-hey
Yodel-oh-oo-pee!

Awdio

Crap name, but if you´re looking for a good site that is blasting music from clubs and venues all over the world on the net, have a wee look here.  It promises to broadcast live musical performances 24/7 and the quality I hear is nothing short of brilliant. Let´s hope they will keep the quality up if the service gets busier!

Should Have Known Better

hey hey
when everything goes wrong
sometimes it makes no sense
hey hey
hey little girl
I should have known better
known better then

Wolfram Alpha

Looks like everyone is desperate for new search engines coming up with smarter technologies. This effort gets quoted in the German press for a while now and a launch this May looks likely. People who pre-tested it gave it 50/50 reviews. So lets wait and see what it will be like. 

32 Hours

Spending around 32 hours ONLY in London with a packed schedule waiting can be quite exhausting. It helps when you have been to the capital many times before though... Looking around we found some time to take some pictures of the things that one can spot in London. The absurd, the megalomanic, the beautiful sides of it. Surf here to catch some of the sights! 

Mad Mail Poetry Again

So liess ihm der Genuss der Ruh
Den stillen Wald durchfunkelt.
Am alten grauen Turme
Begleitet mit Göttinger Wurst-Zitaten.
Der Ware gratis geben wollte!
denn alte Weisheit spricht:
Ich pflücke nimmer mehr dich;
sie hatten die Köpfe mit einer Kokard,
hasst warmen Drang und warmen Klang
Drunten singt bei Wies' und Quelle

Who sends this mad shit by mail anyway? Didn´t have some for a while, but this came in today. Still, it has some insanity factor to it...

Sprinkled Moondust

On the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided
To create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
