Done some music serving on youtube today. I think I got inspired by the Byrnes and Eno post of yesterday. Anyway, through some unexpected moments of inspiration I searched for one of my favorite German bands Gammalapagos and there are actually a couple of videos around of them playing live. Here is one of the tracks of their first album.
Link.
Brian Eno and I recently finished our first collaboration in about 30 years. The name of the new record is Everything That Happens Will Happen Today. For the most part, Brian did the music and I wrote some tunes, words and sang. It’s familiar but completely new as well. We’re pretty excited.
Cool thing is they only released it on the internet for now and the album is released in high quality DRM free MP3 and Flac. That almost is enough reason to buy it.
Great video. Someone singing a song reverse. Try to get the name of the song before the middle of the video.
I visited the Arcade Fire concert in Cologne yesterday. What a fine band. I completely enjoyed the band an the show. Very impressing and inspiring. Here is a picture posted on flickr:

On the not so good side I can only say that the sound in the Palladium was awful. The sound guys forgot to turn on the microphone for Win a number of times. Apart from that they had a big problem with songs that had just a little bit more bass in them. Due to the fact that volumes were already at max the extra basses turned the Palladium into a big bowl of acoustic soup. That way at least three songs, including “Black Mirror”, got completely ruined. Thanks guys.
