raël, the leader of the cult with the alleged clone baby:
“of course we celebrated christmas since it’s the day of my conception. my mother conceived me on december 25th 1945 from an extraterrestrian. on christmas i usually celebrate both my conception and the birthday of my brother jesus, because we have the same father.”
[translation: mine]

where is home?

i just looked at my keychain and noticed a key on there, it’s been on there for ages and this key that i never use ???!!!
and: i don’t have clue what the key is for …
not the faintest idea …
its just there, i never use it, i forgot what its for, and nobody ever claimed it back …
what you should know, is that there are only a total of 4 keys on the keychain!
even more embarassing somehow, no?
25% of my keys are unaccounted for
is anybody missing a key, maybe?

did you know there is such a thing as jesus porn?
apparently a finnish porn-movie from the 70’s with the promising title: i saw jesus die offers a hardcore version of the bible !!!
sounds like a romp!

jap

also interesting: found the following here
“Jesus said men should have a larger penis now! Did you hear that? Jesus wants you (or your lover) to have a larger penis! All you have to do is CLICK HERE, and soon you may have the larger penis that Jesus wants you to have!

We know what Jesus wants for you!”

wooheeee end of the year : it’s list’s time!

>>> best records 2002:

1. boards of canada: geogaddi - warp warplp101
the masters of groovy ambient did it again. maybe the second boc lp is not as genius as music has the right to childern, but it’s still utterly mindblasting, amazing, unsettling music. this years re-release of their very eary material on two-ism confirms that we have here two true master-musicians, who just (luckily!) happen to make electronic music.

2. fingathing: superhero music - grand central GCLP114
albums that keep growing on you with each listen are a rare thing. fingathing has managed just that (and more) on their second longplayer. the melodies are amazing, almost kitch, but always really strong and funky. goosebump hop

3. the streets: original pirate material - locked on 679003CDLP
one word would actually be quite enuff to describe why this album really works: zeitgeist

4. akufen: my way - force inc. FIM-1-060
click house has found it’s genre-defining artist. akufen did an amazing job here. the richly layered samples, great sense of humour, housey basslines result in mind and body equally being stimulated.

5. layo & bushwacka: night works - xl XLLP154
i actually liked their first record even better, but this again is a great dancemusic record, with excursions into many genres of electronic music. and then there is that big track with the devo’s mongoloid(!) bassline …

>>> track of the year

dj shadow: six days [remix feat. mos def] - mo wax
no more war!
no more war!
no more war!

>>> mix of the year

various artists: 2 many dj’s - pias PIASB 065 CD
2 many dj’s have spearheaded what hopefully will be a new genre with their cheeky mix. from pop to krautrock to synthpop to techno, it all gets thrown into the mix. high-intensity garantied.

>>> compilations of the year

various artists: in the beginning there was the rhythm - soul jazz SJR LP57
a document of the time, when punk decided to get funky. all the protagonists of the time are present. plus: really well researched liner notes make this a great package.

various artists: back to mine orbital - dmc BACKLP10
orbital take us on a journey from punk/dub to acidhouse to techno with a few quite surprising additions. jethro tull anyone?
this is fun!

while locking yourself into a booth at a public toilet, it’s best to avoid thinking about who touched these doorhandles last and what they in turn had done with their hands before that, innit?

joe strummer R.I.P.
still in shock!
but considering what we used to say: “trust no one past 20″ 50 seems quite a respectable age…
innit?
the most revolutionary lisfffffp in punkrock is no more! clasffff sffity rockersffff
after years of wondering if he should stay, joe decided to go after all.
his music will stay though!
and it fills my appartment with it’s still unabashed raw and wild energy on this greyish x-mas day!
watch out now: pogosession in the kitchen!
this is the cfffity of the dead.
r e s p e c t to joe and joey and ian and all who decided to go oh

why oh why do i hate x-mas so?
is it because i am like dr. seuss’ the grinch, who’s heart is 2 sizes too small?

yeah:

ta ta wurzel!

a friend of mine has recently moved into a house right across the street from our house. from his balcony he can see straight into our bedroom and kitchen. and on that balcony he smokes his cigarettes.
tricky situation!
of course i am glad for him that he found a beautiful appartment.
yet at the same time, it feels strange. he has turned into this looming presence in my space. i can’t even say i feel observed by him, because of course he is not always out there watching - at least now in winter he is not - but it is somehow enough to know, that he always could be…
i used to walk into the kitchen naked to grab some juice from the fridge; feels too weird now.
i used to cook while dancing around the kitchen; not without the occasional glance to his balcony anymore.
the bedroom is less problematic, except that we only ever raise one of the two blinders anymore.
yeah…
whatchumma say?
somebody else had lived in that same appartement before and had had the same clear view, but somehow, since we did not know her, this was no bother at all. why is it that now, that we know the person, it feels so invasive ?
