An old-school blog.

  • Watch: Chemistry of Death (Paramount+/ARD Mediathek)

    To be honest, I never read the books, but it’s impossible to have never heard of them if you read (crime) books. I always wanted to read them, but there are so many books and so little time. I even bought the books, but they’re still unread on my e-reader. However, I think we can…

  • Play: RetroArch

    After the AltStore launched Delta, its gaming emulator, everyone, including me, eagerly awaited more official emulators. The wait is over with SameBoy and RetroArch, bringing the joy of emulation to iOS.

  • Hear: Roel Funcken Mix for Feierabendradio

    I can’t remember when and how I discovered the music and mixes of Dutch musician Roel Funcken, but I’ve been following him on SoundCloud for quite a few years now. He releases a lot of mixes, with mostly ambient and experimental music.

  • Discover: An unexpected mash-up

    I just found that short clip, and this mash-up is as unexpected as funny. It gets funnier every time I watch it. Unfortunately, I don’t know where this is from or who made it, but LOL!

  • Watch: Operation Fortune (Amazon Prime)

    While I was watching the movie, I was already thinking about what I could write here because it’s kind of sensational to witness a bad Guy Ritchie film and an outstanding Hugh Grant performance at the same time. But sometimes, somebody else already has the words you’re not finding. In this case, I stumbled upon…

  • Watch: Unfrosted (Netflix)

    Jerry Seinfeld is a comedian I deeply respect, though I’ve never been a fan of him or his self-titled sitcom. Despite this, I recognize that Seinfeld has touched many people worldwide with his work, which is an outstanding achievement.

  • Watch: Resident Alien (Season 2 — SyFy)

    After watching Season 1, I was really enthusiastic about Resident Alien. But now, after having watched Season 2, it’s time for disenchantment. I still find this show highly entertaining, but it seems to have lost its ease.

  • Hear: Kings of Leon – Can we please have fun

    Fun is a matter of perspective. When it comes to music, fun can be dancing wildly in a club, but it can also be enjoyable to listen to loud music in the car or calm music at home while watching a rainy day through the windows. And yes, it can be exhilarating to gather in…

  • Learn: How TV advertising affects the climate change

    Honestly, I never would have thought that there’s a connection here, but according to researchers, there is. A recent study at the University of my hometown Leipzig, led by communications scientist Dr. Uwe Krüger, took a closer look at the media’s approach to the major issue of our time: man-made climate change, and came to…

  • Hear: The Lemon Twigs – A dream is all we know

    While I am still amazed by the possibilities of music AI’s (udio, suno, riffusion, etc.) these days, the new (never heard of them) album of The Lemon Twigs is out. The 12 track release covers me in a strange plaid of melancholy, and I feel torn. On the one hand, I’ve always loved when old…
