So I went to see The Indelicates at the Babalu Club in Munich, a tiny cellar club with maybe 50 people in it, today. Well, actually, I went yesterday, because it's, now that I came home, a quarter to one in the morning already, so it's technically Sunday. But enough of such details.

I went, as usual, alone because all my friends have no good taste in music and thus declined to come with me. Admission was at 9 p.m., so I went there in time for half past nine, guessing it would give me enough time any way.…

Well, what to say about this album by The Indelicates? I think, the most important thing to say is: Every band which has multiple vocalists tends to make people choose which one is better (there are exceptions, like Travis, but they have only one vocalist and the others just sing sometimes). If a band has vocalists of different genders, it just multiplies the problem. Yes, it is hard to compare female to male singers but usually you simply cannot do so so there is no need to solve this difficulty.

It's different with The Indelicates: They are…

So, Panic! at the Disco (now without the "!" as "Panic at the Disco") have released a new album? Fine. Their first one, A Fever you can't sweat out, was a success. Easy pop-rock, which sold well and did not take much to like. Don't get me wrong on this, I loved it. It was brilliant, yet a bit too mainstream and I feared, their next one will go even more in that (money-making) direction. Boy, was I wrong!

Here I was, thinking P!atD will become just another mainstream pop band…I was so mistaken. They made millions…

Nunja, heute war also das Travis-Konzert. Ich war ziemlich aufgeregt, war es doch meine Lieblingsband und hatte ich es seit mehr als 4 Jahren vor, sie zu sehen. Wie 2003 hab ich auch dieses Jahr keinen gefunden, der mitgekommen wäre, bin aber diesmal auch allein gegangen.

Vorband war "The Taste", eine Zwei-Leute-Band, die nichts mit der hier verlinkten zu tun hat, die aber auch nicht besonders gut war, einige ihrer Songs schienen mir hauptsächlich daraus zu bestehen, dass der Schlagzeuger mit aller Gewalt auf seine Trommeln haute. Lustig war nur der Gastauftritt von Fran und Dougie als "Models" für…

Went to see of Montreal yesterday. The show was great, the band is really great live and the band members are very nice and friendly, my friend who I dragged along and who "converted" to of Montreal during the concert got a very funny autograph which, according to Kevin, will make sense someday. Sure wish I could see them again =)

For those of you, who have not known already, a new track, "Battleships", from Travis' next album "The Boy With No Name" is on Travis' MySpace page.

7 tracks have been uploaded to MySpace already, if they keep up the pace, we will have heard the full album by this time next month :D

Battleships

Eyes Wide Open

it is now available to listen to at Travis' MySpace page

It's kinda strange, but still Travis. =)

If you have friends who own a PS2 and who furthermore tend to like to entertain themselves in silly ways you most likely have already participated/were forced to participate in a SingStar game or at least watched them play it. Now I am not much of a singer myself although I like to sing, I just am no good at it. What annoys me most about SingStar tho is, that the so called "music" on those discs is mostly unknown to me or sucks. So I wondered, what if I could design my own SingStar disc. And I wonder, that's…

Taken the idea from the User "engelXIX" who did it in her journal. I liked it so I did the same.

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be? Here's how it works:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press Play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the Next button.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.
7. Don't skip songs.
