f. just got back from the documenta in kassel – verdict: so so – and has posted two very funny, fantastic photos to flickr, showing that german museum guards seem to have a pretty aweful sense of placement.

“irgendwo muss ich mich ja hinstellen” – i gotta place myself somewhere… one of them told her.

my wonderful wife playing katamari on the psp as if it already had motionsensory navigation; which it should!

“i sta nid gärn uf’d fües am morge”

on our recent trip to england/ireland franziska asked me to take a photo of each hotel- or bed & breakfast-room that we stayed at; she would do the same. so this is the result:

four eyes in nine rooms (two of them not seen – one twice) england/ireland sping 2007

we stayed in nine different places, forgot to take a picture in two of them and stayed in one hotel twice.

disclaimer: ok, ok, so i admit it – to call this project “four eyes etc etc.” is of course inspired at least a little bit by the movie four-eyed monsters, that i quite enjoyed watching this morning. the indie film can be viewed for free this week.

DOWNLOAD: ODE TO PLASTIC [100.23M - 1.12.58 - 192kps]

WHAT: pheew. finally. i’ve worked long, probably too long, on this silly dj mix dedicated to all things plastic. yup. you read that right, it’s an ode to plastic. i produce one longer dj mix per year, usually in november when i spend a month in the mountains. i did start to work on this in november, but for some reason the mix took ages to finish and was shuffled around many times in the process. even if in big parts this is not a propper dj mix, more like a mixtape.

here it is. 26 songs with the word plastic in the title. 1 artist with plastic in his name. 2 mini mixes that are less about plastic. tons of samples from tons of sources with the most recent addition from steve jobs’ keynote a few days ago. and last but not least our friend fred, the voice in my computer, reading this website.

enjoy and please tell a friend …

april 2006 – christoph blocher

strange mea culpa: federal councillor christoph blocher demonstrates how he held his fingers crossed behind his back when he wrongfully called the two albanians criminals and claims that he therefore did not lie.
