Okay this not music. But this is art. Well there is music involved as well to a certain extend if you get through the galery. Well this are all creations from my wonderful cousin Astrid Küver. No indeed I am not objective! How could I be, when I have such a beautiful and talented cousin who is also my godmother! Lucky me. However I thought I could share with my couple of followers the following website.
It may distract you for a couple of minutes, maybe even inspire you.
The "Souvenirs" section is about my cousin and people she knows, friends, her partner. She is in each picture and a painting of a person. Both are in a place which relates my cousin to that person.
"Slipservice Soundteppich" are handmade rugs by my cousin which represent buttons related to dj-ing (and here comes the music!)
"Landlines" are paintings which are from movies, where people are on the phone... on landlines. Event the 'Matrix' picture is in a telephone booth and not with someone on a cell phonte.
"2nd Holidays" are about pictures, my cousin once found on a flee market. The same persons always travelling together in different places. She reproduced those pictures on big canvas to keep those moment alove from thos complete strangers to her.
"Das Endspiel auf die Farben" shows her very deep interest in snooker!
"Das Leben auf drei Ebenen" has been a new discovery for me. I found those three patings really awsome. Probably it's the setting, the time.
Anyway I hope you enjoy her creations as much as I do and spread the word!

A new discory I made this week were the Isbells. They are somewhere from Belgium and remind me a bit of a mixture of the Great Lake Swimmers (Your Rocky Spine) and Nick Drake.

With my mate Dan we talked recently about music, and I came to talk about G.Love and he told "what a stupid name!". Maybe it is and I don't even know the reason why G.Love is named G.Love. He used to play with a band called "Special Sauce". Do "G.Love and Special Sauce" sounded even more... interesting! But one thing is sure I love his music! And to my surprise he is releasing an album in... just 5 days! How amazing is that?
Oh my God! I missed last year's release of my beloved French band Cocoon! They released their second album in 2010. And yes Nate, it is again a band with two members! That's why they are probably so awsome!
