This is Not A Music Blog


says letting loose with the leptard whom I just rediscovered in my referrers. You know I am just a short-sighted egosurfer who does not look further than his own navel...

That's an interesting statement which concerning my little blog I would have to change slightly into "I'd like this to be a music blog but I know this is rubbish as I don't know fuck all about music". That sentence is too long and therefore I won't use it as subtitle. Any complaints?

The leptard (I hope that shortening is not too impolite) has almost written a blog in a blog to explain the name of his blog. I couldn't read all of it but I liked the idea of inventing a word which sticks in your mind. The word leptard somehow makes me think of Def Leppard. I must admit though that I don't really know the music of the guy/band with said moniker. And I don't want to know it. I am a pretentious snob you know. At least concerning music.

Anyways I wanted to say thank you to the leptard for finding such nice words to describe my totally vain try to put words around music. I remember that I stumbled upon his blog when he wrote something about a Nick Drake tape where Nick Drake spoke about a party he attended if I remember well. Nick Drake was the sad hero of my youth. And I was thee person in the world who loved his music most. Nick Drake and me were one and the same (German false friend: eine und dieselbe) person for a year or two. Though I never learnt how to play the guitar. Enough of this now. I'll finish this futile post with a great quotation of the leptard concerning a Pere Ubu song.

I'll never forget the first time I heard 30 Seconds Over Tokyo on John Peel. It was giddy dangerous music that made most rock seem parochial and complacent. Listening to Ubu was like having one of those dreams where you're about to fall and then wake up, except... you don't wake up.
