A reasonable day today, started off bright and sunny but with threatening low cloud...
I caught this plane flying over Crispycat Towers...
Decided to stay in tonight rather than going along to Out of the Bedroom....
I’d bought two classical CDs – Salieri and Vanhal, both contemporaries of Mozart, indeed one of the Vanhal Violin concertos was played in concert by Mr Mozart...
On searching for Salieri on YouTube, I found clips from the film Amadeus, which in turn lead me to the great deceased Austrian pop star, Falco...
Being a fan, I spent some time looking through some of his videos – this lead me to other German speaking stars such as Nena, Udo Lindenberg and, probably my favourites, Fehlfarben – who I found have a new album out which I hope to pick up when I’m in Germany soon...
Then OK Go – a great inventive pop band – who have one of the most watched videos on the site – an unmoving camera on a tripod catches their dance routine created using four exercise treadmills...
This led me to watch their other videos – equally as inventive...
A band whose music is in a similar vein is Fountains of Wayne and so they were my next target – then back to Germany and DAF and New German Wave starlets of 1980-82, Ideal whose singer joined her sister in a great pop band in the late 80’s Swimming With Sharks..
The sister is now in a new band, 2Raumwohnung (2 Room Flat) and I’ll be looking for their stuff in Deutschland too...
Then to e-bay and I ended up buying two CDs by Uriah Heep – which I really don’t need and which I know will probably not be very good...
Such was my day today...
