bad luck today
didn't find anything useful on The Red Krayola while i'm still waiting for their cds to return home. Didn't find the black dot, either (i know i was the last one to search it ). Just again a mighty flatus, followed by these shitheads.
Good Night.

Le Beat Group Electrique
I remember a same-as-it-ever-was party in innsbruck/ tyrol about, say, six years ago, when suddenly three rotten guys entered the stage, set up two drums, upright bass, electric guitar. five minutes later they had crancked up every volume knob they could find to max and the man with the guitar would count " one, two three, four...." - bomb-beat-boom
I' ve never seen a live-gig like that again. Wreckless Eric & band
Reconnez Cherie.mp3 1.2 MB/ There ain't nothing else.mp3 1.0 MB/ Whole Wide World.mp3 1.1 MB

lucky them
who are bavarians and can listen to the very fine radiostation Zündfunk where Thomas Meinecke from FSK works as a radio-dj. Unfortunately I could never get tuned to this station yet and they have no streaming audio but provide a lot of other services at their sites. E.g. a story why we (german-speaking) are zapping but the Italians live close to their mama.

Turn it over baby - itīs done
Yes itīs done now - finally - the messagebook of this site - the perlscript. It includes mailaddress and your siteīs url if you want and links it automatically with your name and your siteīs name. I am the king! No, I am the fool and very very special thanks goes out to the helpful Hubert Hausegger and Otto Mateka from the winning team who finally made it running. Good morning!

country - chrome polished
Nevertheless i have to introduce you to yo la tengo's 'fakebook', one of my all time favourites (besides The Red Krayola's 'parable of arable land', as well as every other fart of Mayo Thompson, each of which would persuade pimp-whimpy-posers dackel & pinscher, ok. dakar & grinser to never ever shave their asses again and get them licked by sort of a 'deutsche dogge'). On this 1990 record Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley - one more time together with Dave Schramm on steel guitar and organ - are doing +/- other people's songs (with daniel johnston, peter stampfel or cat stevens(!) among them) and they really do get the hook-line out of it. I'd prefer a glas of brunello along with that or -more often- just take my seat in a fine bottle of blauer zweigelt and weeep. And i spell that with a triple e.

Whatch out for european weblogs!
Netdyslexias have implemented a practical tool on their site. Their Euroblogs and Favorits are listed in the order of their update. I think this will give the blogs a lot more and up to date attention. Thatīs a great tool and meets the idea of logging superbly. Keep this tool in mind - you might find it on known sites within the next time. Ironically the european blogs get the central pacific time within the manila application.

And I say welcome to hans_heinz
who will support me a bit as EuroRanch guest-author. We will see. And you can easily find out who hans heinz is but there is nothing to win. Ok, you will get sent the tangoboys-record if you are the first one who writes him a mail saying: "I know who you are and I want that record!" Only possible today (sunday) and if you are from Europe.
update: The record goes out to nobody, cause nobody did write. We make another brain-teaser another time, thatīs for shure.

Tobi wrote something about catchy tunes recently - The Air That I Breath. Found that song twice now: From The Holies (mp3) and a fat orchestral version from Mr Midi. Oh yes!

Lazy Afternoon
The tiv-server hosting the videos is not running (the admin is on vacation), my message site is out of order for a couple of days now (tripod has changed the cgi-srtucture) and the Chemical Brothers picked up Best Dance Act at this year's Brit Awards. And they make indeed a shaking music - I mean I can remeber that I liked to dance to their beats when I was young. Whatch out for some real cool RealVideos from them!

Oh yes! The Tangoboys concert was realy very fine yesterday. It think that everybody enjoyed it a lot.

Hallo servus grüss Dich!
servus.at is a german language site from Austria and thats why I write auf deutsch jetzt. Wenn ich mir das Design so anschau brauch ich nicht dextra lang nachdenken von wem das sein könnte. Ich magīs halt nicht - sorry Mr Dextro - (Mehrfach)Navigation zum Speiben. Inhaltlich aber interessant weil viel Verrücktes drauf und Musik und alles; z.B. egotrip unter projects, von dem es bei mir auch was zu hören gibt. Weitere Audios gibt es unter content-audio.

You wanna know what eccentric is?
Mmmh ... the ilax trax wants to be eccentric. Eccentric, alternate and unusual. And itīs blinking and flashing there in every corner. Some people like that!? So, now that we know what eccentric is let us come to the point: The ilax trax is weekly updated and broadcasting bands and mp3 samples "carefully selected". Three of them are highlighted.

So, and now I have "carefully selected" three fine ilax mp3s for you in case you can not find them: Neoangin Evolution Is Easy.mp3 1,9MB / Lena Japan Adelheit.mp3 2,2MB / Krizz Mental Multobrigado.mp3 2,9MB

Aria fritta
Are you interested in the music of Air? Donīt worry, me neither. Astralwerk says that they have "performed a very special one time only concert in front of a sold out crowd at the American Legion Hall in Los Angeles, ..." and so on and so on. And as there are some people out there who might be interested so get the realaudios then. What? If I think that EuroRanch visitors should not be interested in Air? Argh, do what you want!

Castellare de' Sernigi, Tavarnelle Val di Peza, Italy
Whatīs that, what did I find here? EuroRanch98. "We couldn't do Sea Ranch this year due to many people making moves this year, but Europe came up and the name EuroRanch stuck!" Kind of euro- or italy-trip of about 12 americans. The strange thing: I have also been in Tavarnelle Val die Peza several times. Itīs a wonderful place. I like it so much. I feel warmth in my body. Look where they have lived: Castellare de Sernigi!

Lī Elephant Cruel
I also met the very charming Mr Hey (Helmut Erler) at Svens party yesterday who has released hey-o-hansens latest cd "Lī Elephant Cruel" these days and who of corse gave me a copy (thanks). I like that sound a lot and I enjoy it most when standing in a bar (e.g. Hinterzimmer), drinking gin-tonic and twisting my ass a bit. Check the sound!

Somebody mixed inebriation in my drinks
Me and Tobi have been invited to a party at Mr Sven Saurwein (Tangoboys) and at least I enjoyed it a lot. I donīt know why but I did. Maybe it was his son Luis who was playing around or the endless sushi-catering or the presence of their new female vocalist. But something strange happened there. I think that somebody has mixed inebiration in my drinks. Unbelieveable! In addition I got a furious headache from the weather this morning and my palate is excoriated from snoring.

Regions, towns and villages
As I have a feebleness for such names and as Tobi does know that, he gave me a book as present at my last birthday (I became 26 again in january) which deals with names of villages and their meaning: "Der tiefere Sinn des Labenz" (from Aachen to Zyfflich). Tobi thought that I have lost his present and now I give two examples in order to prove that I did not:

Klein Bademeusel, das
Der verräterisch kleine Gnubbel am oberen Rand der eigenen Badehose, der einen umissverständlich klarmacht, dass man vor dem Schwimmengehen zunächst eine halbe Stunde damit zubringen müsste, das Zugband mit Hilfe einer Sicherheitsnadel wieder ans Tageslicht zu befördern. oder...

Schmersau, die
Jemand, der Zigarettenasche auf einen nagelneuen Teppich fallen lässt und das "kleine Malheur" anschliessend unauffällig zu einem gigantischen Fleck verreibt.

Was bitte ist die blaue Sau?
Schon was vor am Samstag? Wie wärs mit "lost and found"? Fluch selbst beschreibt seinen Abend wie folgt:

Lost and found am Samstag, dem 8.4., in der blauen Sau, also der blue box (vienna)! Die monatliche Unzurechnungsfähigkeit zwischen meist Alter, und zumindest bei den meisten Menschen bereits aus dem Kurzzeitgedächtnis gelöschter Musik und manchmal noch gar nicht erschienener Platten, verlegt von Christian Schachinger und mir, präsentiert dieses mal... ja was? Das müsste man jetzt wissen. Wie üblich geht es aber bei der Programmauswahl um die persönliche Tagesverfassung. Nur soviel: "Tripping Out" von Curtis Mayfield wird laufen. Drei mal mindestens. Und ich bin derjenige, der dazu auf Knien rumrutschen wird. Was für eine Nummer!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be there or elsewhere!

Wobei das elsewhere das Flex sein sollte, wo Kruder, Geier, Gächter und der Rest der Bande für den Weltfrieden auflegen, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Scheisshaufens der Geschichte, unter dem "unsere" Regierung hoffentlich bald begraben sein wird.

If you become my woman
you can share my car bombed flat with me, clean my dishes and buy me some new clothes. But if you are looking for a real man who can provide you everything you have always been dreaming of you should visit Mr Hot. But hurry up! Claudschi found him first.

A car bomb exploded in my flat last night
The occurrence is still not cleared up. When I was waking up this morning everything was muddled, the computer was running, all dishes in the kitchen have been used and my drivinglicence was gone. Who the hell has been living here for the last three weeks? As I will get visitation from outer Klagenfurt this friday evening I will need a cleaning mission - now and promptly.

Please write relevant hints to Aktenzeichen XY. For our vistitors from not-german-language-countries: Thats about the same as Akte X (the x files), just a little more. Ok Scully, what do you think, what does that mean?

Ans Eingemachte - step II
I have released another two realaudios from my tiv sound feature Ans Eingemachte at the mp3-site. One is from Fuckhead, an experimental and elctronic hardcoreband from Linz, Austria. The other one is from my very favorit band FSK, coming from Bavaria, Germany. FSK is one of the most important and intelligent bands in central Europe (thatīs what I think). They have been influenced by and working with a lot of different music styles such as (velvet) underground, country, jodeling, munic disco or tecno. What I like a lot is their transatlantic mixture. Mixing german and english, Europe and America, disco and country. Itīs the band I have most learned of.

Audio Inn - morgen, 5. April, Wiener Volksoper
An evening for dedicated listeners. "Underground" und Elektronik wird hier in einem recht ungewöhnlichen Rahmen präsentiert, nämlich in der Volksoper. Dabei soll ein grösstmöglicher Einblick in die Musikszene gegeben und das Ambiente der Volksoper mit seiner großen Bühne voll ausgenützt werden. Konzeption und Realisation: Patrick Pulsinger & Erdem Tunakan. Durch den Abend führen Irene Lavina und Fritz Ostermayer. Und ich verbürge mich dafür, dass das genial wird. [mehr Info]
update: So, wie warīs? Ein bissl artsifartsi, ein bissl abgehoben, ein bissl komisches Ambiente aber einige Electroeinlagen waren schon lässig und für gewisse Musik hab ichīs oft gern wenn man sitzen kann, weil ich halt gar so ungeduldig bin und dann kann ich mich besser darauf einlassen.

Und heute möge wieder mal das elektronische Wirtshaus das Lokla Eurer Wahl sein. Weshalb erklärt p3k.

Charhizma - a most interesting austrian electronic label
Charhizma is the label of Christoph Kurzmann, a man who deserves a lot of respect for his merits for austrians experimental electronic music. On the website they are presenting their own productions and make available some mp3s of the artists (e.g. b. fleischmann). Just ignore the design. By the way: one of the musicians is elmü, alias Helmut Heiland who is a member of popo.at.

One of the MP3s has something to do with Fritz Ostermayer (from radio fm4) who deserves much more then respect and once I will tell you about him and his part in austrian music. Check this out die Sau!

Ans Eingemachte
...was my contribution to the sound-program of tiv, a local and private alternative tv-station in vienna, austria. The sound-program is broadcasted each thursday at 20:15 - 21:15 and at 23:00 - 24:00. My contribution was about every second week for one and a half year till january 2000, than I put this energy into my website.

Now I want to show to those who might be intersted Ans Eingemachte step by step. First trial is a band called Scheffenbichler. This band does not exist anymore but made some scurrile and charming music: Scheffenbichler.RM 06:46 min. And I will also publish them at the mp3-samples and mark them with a .RM

Last but not least
After netdyslexia, piefke 3000, Chris Langreiter, Dave Winer or spex I also want to say something about popo.at as I am a little bit envolved.

About the slogan "move your popo and your ass will follow": For those who do not understand german - politische potentiale means political potentials, who could suppose that. The slogan itself is a conversion of a songtext from the FSK song Move Ahead.MP3 (1,3MB/64kbps) "move ahead and your ass will follow". Inspite of that, popo.at does not deal with music.

Congratulation to Dave Winer who noticed the popo.at discussion forum finally which is made with his manila application. And he promtly recognized what it is all about: Webdesign!? I have to thank those guys from netdyslexia cause they tried to explain Mr Winer (amongst others) our site: Itīs about an important political content and we decided for read- and useable low-design so that design should not divert from that. [the discussion on netdyslexia]

Good morning! Resistance!

The Schramms - heute im b72
Einmal noch apropos Yo La Tengo: Dave Schramm war mal bei Yo La Tengo und im Vorjahr im Duo mit Jeb Loy Nichols im b72 zu hören. Und mit The Schramms spielt er heute in Wien (sind übrigens ebenfalls bei Matador). Alternative Countryrock könnte man sagen dazu, wenn man will oder wenn man umbedingt möchte, also wenn man das unbedingt benennen muss, weil klint ja eigentlich saudoof und ich weiss, dass da viele die Nase rümpfen. Zu unrecht, wie ich immerwieder meine. Und warum die Amis einen anderen Umgang mit ihrer Volksmusik (country) haben und wie sich das auf die Musik auswirkt, warum die also eher jodeln als wir, darüber will ich ein anderes mal was sagen.
