Scoreless happy - hoppa

About the state of the underworld, there are so inherently different interpretations. Apart from the traditional one is still the best in memory of Josef Hader - Reinhold Messner, wrapped in a down jacket, deep down, and without any orientation, a jamboree. Since yesterday evening we know now that even a ninety-minute short stay can be perceived in very different ways: The players of FC Basel would complain, for example, probably, hell is a red-lit behemoth to the north of Munich and fun would there not for the life of to find. A few hundred concertgoers again came to the proof that you can be in high spirits, even without gates and saw the amp as beatifying version of Hades - loud, hot, crowded, but full of energy and exuberance: Django 3000 played on a hell ride.

Honestly - they had not expected anything else. That the music of the four, so the Bavarian Gypsy, is calculated to bring the mass to cook, you already knew from their debut album. Live does the thing with the Zigeunermusi almost better, because the unbridled enthusiasm of the boys without detours's dance-crazy crowd on transfers. Not cool or attitude are here, but only the absolute will, in the limited time a maximum share of good humor with each other - "I say disco, you say party," or so. Starting with the Stones cover "Paint It Black" on the hits of the album ("Time fia ois," "Django, Django", "South Wind", and, and ...), the repertoire is filled with new songs and one or the other Russian, well - at least foreign, original. The band surrounding vocalist Kamil Mueller, who has copied the Incarnate Although the devilish grin, like the other three but despite all the wildness makes a very charming impression, enjoy the clear appearance. The sweat-inducing highlights, of course, "Since Wuide and there Deifi", "Tschavo", "Secret Gypsy Agent" and "Rucki Verch", unleashed and down in front of the stage (a decent picture of the goings succeeds well, see above, only one Press photographers), and of course, comes at the end nor the "Heidi" by for a little dance. Müller's conjecture, the amp was finally "zigeinifiziert" complete, has unanimously approved the audience anyway - for all who experience them either still missing or not enough, there are the following two dates for the group dynamic city:

21st July, topless Open Air (e.g. with Kraftklub)
31st December, New Year's Eve / Muffathalle

Times of great miracles are past.

Konzerttip for spontaneous: Tonight, Felix Meyer in public works.

German Sung is just booming. But it's not the question of that, but the question of how. And there are new answers Felix Meyer. Surprising answers to the music. Honest answers in the text. "I can not help it," he says with a smile, "I come from making pictures for writing. And while in the field of documentary photography. I do not need more truth hergibt than life. That may be surprising enough. "The second plate by Felix Meyer" First Love / Last Dance "is full of honesty and this is at least as rich in surprises. The new songs document the fact that pop music with Felix Meyer a storyteller has grown up in the tradition of the great French chansoniers such as Jacques Brel is also, as in that great American historians, such as Tom Waits. Comparisons that must not shy away from Felix Meyer.

More of this high office can look at, you must have already swallowed neat road dust. Because they have to come from somewhere: This very special person perspective on society. The clear and calm language. Musically and lyrically. The Question of Life, the Universe and Everything, Douglas Adams, as they would be better able to provide. "When you are with street music, as we make them for over 15 years, between Esprit and North Sea, between Montpellier, Dubrovnik and Hamburg Felix Meyer - ausrollst the great pop music storytellers your stage, then pulsates just this half of the universe, and always in a little of the whole rest in all its facets and in addition free pass to you, "says Felix Meyer, the rugged charm of the street," you see Human, All Too Human. The pathetic freak show and the whole great drama. But the small pleasures, great moments and quiet operation. "Who can look back on this jogged level of rich experience, as the group headed by Felix Meyer and who has been washed it with a lot of waters that may exist on the hard pavement and has developed the necessary insight to wrap the seen and heard in wonderful stories. Felix Meyer brings no worlds to collapse.

Musically it is on the album "First Love / Last Dance" ever loud and schlurfig rumplig. Since driving a banjo and a heavy scar liges schnaufendes accordion through the song. That's not nice. Since then more Tom Waits is the father of sound thought. Slowly but ecstatically dancing and a musette accordion by the soft-sounding piece, a trumpet, cries, complains of a choir and strings languish. Seem to put scraps breathe. Are wistful and sad. Then, rather melancholy Jacques Brel peeks around the corner. Both times reflects a truth of the street.

Wonderful Gioachino Rossini Google Doodle

Yes, because here are the frogs go? Apparently the Google Doodle designers have escaped the pets and then into the masterpiece in honor of the Italian composer Gioachino Rossini jumped. This would be as of today (Feb 29) become 220 years old, what course should be appropriately recognized.

In theory, Rossini would indeed only his 55th Birthday party, but I do not want them to hold a post to write about himself. So old the joke may be, I always find it very amusing to be made aware that there are people whose birthday is taking place every four years.

This is a little side thing called leap year. According to the omniscient encyclopedia called a leap year, a year in the calendar, which contains, in contrast to common year (the normal year of 365 days), an additional leap day and / or intercalary month. This happens to most of the difference between a scheduled calendar year and the solar year to compensate.

In relation to today's Doodle, this means that the artwork on the performance of both Honoration Rossini's is also a reference to the event taking the leap year. Before I get closer to the eingehe Doodle, as usual, there are a few facts about the person.

Who was Gioachino Rossini?

Google Doodle in honor of Gioachino RossiniGioachino (or Gioaccino) Antonio Rossini was born on 29 February 1792 in Pesaro born. Rossini was baptized immediately after his birth as Giovacchino, but he was known as Gioachino. He grew up in a musical family, so at an early age he began playing violin and harpsichord.

With twelve years already Rossini wrote his first composition for two violins, cello and double bass, the Be sonata a quattro,

In 1815 he became director of two opera houses in Naples, for which he undertakes an opera per year was to write. During this time two of his most famous operas emerged: The Barber of Seville and La Cenerentola. Rossini later learned then Isabella Colbran, an opera singer, with whom he was married from 1823 until 1836.

With William Tell, he wrote in 1928, the last opera of his life, which he wrote in about two decades, a total of 39 operas. After Gioachino remarried and continued to work as a composer, he died on 13 November 1868 in Paris, Passy.
Funny Google Doodle thrilled with frogs

Take a look now, but finally on the Doodle of the day and make a picture. Seeing is held in predominantly green illustration on some frogs seem to feel quite well. For one recalls the image of frogs already in previous Google Doodles from the years 2008 and 2004. On the other hand, there is the link to the famous opera by Rossini: The Barber of Seville.

Google Doodle in honor of Gioachino Rossini

Detail this means then, that the frogs have settled there, where they like best. That would be in nature. So it is only logical that the grass around them and serve up targeted two branches as a picture frame. During one of the protagonists plays a beautiful sonnet, and a frog happily mitträllert to ogle the scene two more frogs. Great Doodle ...


After yet very sobering Valentine Doodle, is now again a fun, high-quality graphic Doodle. In this sense, all the best to all those who are celebrating their birthday today.
