Mark Ronson — Siriusly!

Posted on January 19th, 2008 by cliff1976

While Sarah and were I driving around in our rented Avenger in December, we appreciated the Sirius satellite radio it came with. I’d never played with that before. It’s pretty sweet. We tuned right in to “Left of Center Sirius … Continue reading →

“Did he tell you his name was ‘Mary?’”

Posted on June 24th, 2007 by cliff1976

Looks like we’ll be rollin’ on the Danube all day today. I’m very surprised the locals have apparently suspended their weekend / morning noise ordinance for the *Bürgerfest*. I recorded this 5 minutes ago out of our skylight window. It’s … Continue reading →

audio tour of tonight’s Bürgerfest selections

Posted on June 22nd, 2007 by cliff1976

The Bürgerfest is Regensburg’s biggest strictly-summer — not beginning of summer, not end of summer, just summer — festival. It’s so big that they only do it once every two years. Since *everyone* comes out for it, there are some … Continue reading →

iTunes mocks me!

Posted on April 7th, 2007 by cliff1976

We’re big fans of the “Party-Jukebox” function as it’s known in the German version of iTunes (I think it’s “party-shuffle” or similar in the English-language version). But why does Girlfriend by Michael Jackson keep coming up in my playlist — … Continue reading →

Knock-knock-knockin’ on Christmas’s Door

Posted on December 10th, 2006 by cliff1976

This is so weird. I just can’t explain the German obsession with this song. This was taken this evening at the Lucreziamarkt (am Haidplatz), just a few minutes ago. It **proves** (despite the whole Hasselhoff thing) that they are not … Continue reading →

let’s hope he stays off the heroin this time…

I’m so glad John Frusciante is back in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I hated all that Dave Navarro angsty crap. I welcome the return of the Froosh-Funk.

It’s Friday; why no Fest?*

Posted on July 28th, 2006 by cliff1976

I am actually surprised that I’m not hearing street musicians or the feedback shrieks from mics and amps at hastily set up band pavillions or parades of people going past (although that typically happens on Saturday mornings). Thank goodness another … Continue reading →

ugh…my ears hurt again

Posted on July 8th, 2006 by cliff1976

Remember how happy I was earlier this week to jam out to good tunes and great food? Forget all that. This weekend is the Gassenfest. I don’t know how often it occurs, but let’s pray it’s only once a decade … Continue reading →

holy crap, my ears are happy

Posted on July 2nd, 2006 by cliff1976

Does this track not rock out? It’s Ray Barretto’s version of Stevie Wonder’s Pastime Paradise (from the Songs in the Key of Life double-album). We heard it in Exil this evening. I love my semi-regular Sunday night meals there — … Continue reading →
