(about the name of my 1st blog: sex and sunshine)


The name of this blog is totallly random. It could have been called masturbating in the rain or dying in a thunderstorm. Maybe not as Blogspot does not allow such long names I guess. Actually I wanted to write in German and call it Tomaten in Ohren, a pun on Tomaten auf den Augen which translates literally as "tomatoes on the eyes" and is used as a reproach when you do not perceive something apparent because of the red tomato juice which is covering your eyes. I wanted to call it "tomatoes in ears" as I am more the auditive than the visionary (pun intended) kind of guy. And I think there is lots of music which you can only enjoy with tomatoes in your ears.
But I kept getting these 503 error messages so I had to change the name.
But actually THE reason for calling this "sex and sunshine" is that this can be abbreviated to SAS and this stands for at least two totally different things. One of the two can give you a clue about my studies and work. All the above is of course bollocks. I chose sex and sunshine as name for the blog as I hope to attract much more traffic with such a fancy and slightly frivolous title.

[music, albums] Last weekend I bought the new CD Stalled Parade by Eleventh Dream Day. As always 11thDD are very eclectic but pretty good as well. Most songs remind me very much of Sonic Youth. Even Rizzos voice sounds like a blend of Ranaldo's and Moore's. Only difference is a certain monotony, SY are usually more dynamic and innovative. As always there is a song (In the Style of...) Neil Young and Crazy Horse would be proud of. Premier cru guitar work. Unfortunately enough JB Bean has to sing as well. She really should restrict her singing to her other project Freakwater. Especially the country song Valrico 74 is unbearable for my ears. She really has got the classic female country voice. Just awful.
This explanation of the origin of the band name was too phantastic to be true.
