Peace and Quite
September 2, 2010
The Rifels are known for their jaunty garage rock sound. Thanks to LastFM to remind me of the track “Peace and Quite” from 2006.
I want one …

Sangho Kim is a 2010 graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. He has been a member of Local Motors since 2008, and has since won the Miami Road Racer Competition. In addition to earning $20,000 in prize money in a short 4-month period, Sangho earned the greatest prize: to see his vehicle, the Rally Fighter, brought to life. His name will forever live on the side of every Rally Fighter.
Sangho penned the Rally Fighter design in 2008, and posted it to the Local Motors community for review and critique. Community feedback was immediately positive, and many demanded the car be built. Together with the community and Local Motors design team Sangho Kim designed his first production vehicle, the Rally Fighter.
People always say that there is not much space for new car concepts or car designs out on the market. But coming up with something unique and much different of what most brands are going after, creates some space for a new product. Sangho Kim designed a different car concept with a unique and strong charisma. Even that the target group will be very small, I believe that this is the toy which puts every man back into the sandbox of his dreams!
KAKKMADDAFAKKA
September 1, 2010
Yo, it’s almost 3 weeks ago that I went with YouDit to the Dockville Festival 2010 in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg. The Music and Art Festival is well known for the great location (Elbinseln) and a friendly atmosphere, which also comes form the fact that the Dockville is one of the smaller Music festivals in Germany but still with a good selected line up on bands.
Hey, we took the tent and camped for 2 nights at the festival to capture the full festival atmosphere! And it was worth it, we had great fun at the event, watching bigger and smaller bands like KAKKMADDAFAKKA or the Klaxons, playing stupid games or having fun with our neighbour Jan.
It’s a shame that the summer seems to be over and most events are gone by now but for next year I’m all in.
I didn’t bring my Nikon and only took some pics with my IPhone. Couldn’t take too many with the IPhone as there wasn’t a chance to recharge the battery of the phone. So I had to steel some pics from the Internet.
Me, my backpack and Asia
August 30, 2010
It’s over a half year ago that I went on a 6 weeks backpacking trip to Asia. I flew into India to travel up north to Kathmandu/Nepal where I stayed for a week to visit a Nepali family I personally know. From Nepal I traveled more east into Thailand from where I found my way north again to see Angkor Wat at Siam Reap/Cambodia. From Siam Reap I head south over Phnon Penh to later Sihanoukville in the south of Cambodia. Back in Bangkok I went further south to a small place close to Hua Hin where I stayed over Christmas before I continued my journey even more south to Chumphon from where I took a boat to get to Koh Tao over New Year. Back over Bangkok-Delhi-Frankfurt.
The entire trip was quite tough as I crossed 4 borders in 6 weeks and some of them more than ones. I think there wasn’t any kind of transportation I missed on this trip. It was worth every minute and another great experience in life. Finally I managed to upload a selection of images to the diary of the trip.
Have fun looking at the pictures. The above sunset picture was taken in front of a Mosque at Phnom Penh/Cambodia.
Stand Tall
August 30, 2010
Something for the missing summer from the Southern California Reggae band “Dirty Heads”. At least it creates a little kind of summer feeling.
Up in the air

Outsch! Shit happens …
Sunday afternoon
August 29, 2010
After a night out in Happy Mountain where we celebrated at the old town festival, Lola and myself went out for a walk around the neighbourhood to get some ice cream. Nothing special but the pics are quite nice, so I thought to share them.
No waste of space
August 27, 2010
Incredible how people adapt to certain circumstances!
Kids
August 23, 2010
Nice cover version of the MGMT song “Kids” by the Kooks.
What Ever 2.0
August 20, 2010
MIYAGI is a Neo-Disco-Post-Punk band from Münster/Germany which was formed in 2007. As you can see in the category they are in, the band offers a lot of different styles of music. Mostly Punk and Rock but also some electronic disco sound.
What Ever 2.0 is their best song and bloody wicked!
Harrisons
August 19, 2010
Harrisons were a four-piece guitar band from Hillsborough in Sheffield, England. They were one of the leading bands in the so-called New Yorkshire scene, along with fellow Sheffielders Arctic Monkeys, Milburn, The Long Blondes and Bromheads Jacket. A shame that they split up after giving their last concert in December 2008.
Both thumbs up from my side!
Welcome the next generation

Anthon Berg ‘Taste’
August 18, 2010
In 1884, Mr. Anthon Berg opened his chocolate shop in Copenhagen, Denmark and started manufacturing his now world-famous chocolates. Ever since, his motto has been a constant reminder of what the brand should aspire to do:” Always produce chocolates which will gain public recognition through their superior quality”.
125 years later, we still believe that chocolate is not merely chocolate. This is why we insist on having every step in the making of chocolate attended carefully by our own skilled chocolate masters, who transform the cocoa beans into divine sophisticated pralines.
Hey, this is pretty much the most amazing spot I have ever seen for a product like chocolate.
Klaxons – Echoes
August 18, 2010
Yo, here is another great song from the Klaxons!
Not over yet
August 17, 2010
The Klaxons played their great cover version of the famous club track Crace – Not over yet (original by Paul Oakenfold published 1995) at the Dockville festival close to Hamburg last weekend. It was great listen to in a crowd of thousands of people in the middle of the night.
Enjoy the silence
August 15, 2010
Something from the weekend! A great cover version of the classic Depeche Mode song “Enjoy the Silence” by Nada Surf.
Enjoy!
Happy Mountain
August 10, 2010
Happy-Happy Mountain! A one week vacation at my parents with Lola. A week of eating and sleeping and eating and sleeping and … some little side program like taking the dog out to the fish lakes or going to the outdoor swimming pool. A very relaxing week!
Dutch people and their canals
August 6, 2010
Haha, the Dutch people can’t get off the canals. Kevin Langeree, Dutch kite pro, had some fun with his kite on a tidy canal in South Africa during a training session for the PKRA season. I must say it looks like fun!

Shine On
August 2, 2010
The Tunics formed in Croyden, South London, in 2006. Their music style of highly literate rock & roll brought them acclaim from both fans and critics. Influenced by the tradition of British bands that preceded them, elements of the Libertines, Oasis, and even Radiohead can be heard in their music. Still, the Tunics managed to maintain their own unique take on those influences.
Mystic Men 2010 | short version
August 2, 2010
I know it doesn’t really make sense posting the short version after the full version (post below). But in this case it’s worth to take a look at the Mystic trailer as it got a incredible strong feel the way they cut it down. It’s pretty cool!

Tyler Warren- All Yew
August 2, 2010
A 3rd generation artist, Tyler Warren approaches everything with patience and focus. In this All Yew episode by Korduroy TV, Tyler shapes a 4’10″ Simmons inspired planing hull from a stringerless blank. The result is what he’s dubbed the “Bar of Soap” due to its slippery maneuverability and silky smooth carves. Watch Tyler put it through its paces on the high performance walls of Lower Trestles.
Music by A Slight Breeze and Boaz Roberts

Herrenabend 2010
August 1, 2010
It’s now exactly two years since we moved from Rome back to Frankfurt. I’ve not been to the City of Angels since then. It’s where our little angel Lola was born.
When the taxi turned into Emilio Morosini, and drove down the street where we used to live in Trastevere and stopped right in front of our old house, I had to take a deep breath. I looked at the building and memories were rushing through my head.
It looked like time hadn’t touched Trastevere since we left. The police station, the little shoe shop, the garage and the small bar Roma Libera at the corner of Piazza San Cosimato, everything in the neighbourhood looked exactly the same. Now, I’m there again.
An old friend, Ilja invited me to the “Herrenabend 2010″ in Rome. 10 guys, 3 days and 1 flat.
I must say that the group was a very funny mix of different characters. I enjoyed each of them a lot. We all had great fun to hang out together, and I strongly believe everybody felt the same.
I think the biggest surprise was Andrea, an old friend of mine. When I showed up at his new apartment in Trastevere, he could not believe that it was me standing in front of his entrance. As an old tradition continued, he pulled out a bottle of wine, and cooked an absolutely amazing dinner which we enjoyed on his picturesque new roof terrace with his lovely girlfriend Erika.
So, rewinding the last days in the eternal city, it was good to see that friendships haven’t changed and yes, it was quite emotional when I’d arrived in Trastevere with a tear in my eye, but left with a joyful smile on my face.
Enjoy the video!
