0:42 Deerhoof – The Eyebright Bugler (2002)

Januar 9, 2011

IIRC Deerhoof are a music collective from San Franciso. Most striking about them is their singer of Japanese origin with a high-pitch voice you can’t forget. I am not sure but Japanese women seem to be able to scream like no other females (Yoko Ono or the singer of Blonde Redhead come to mind). I would like to have been at this Tokyo concert of The Beatles in 1966 just for the screaming of the Nippon girls. The song is a letdown as the band doesn’t get its act together – esp. Paul seems to be totally out of sync – but I think they can be pardonned with all that shrieking action of the audience going on.

0:43 Yo La Tengo – George (2005)

Januar 9, 2011

On Friday night there was this guy at the Nollendorfplatz underground station where I was waiting for the U3 who asked people for money. He also asked me and when I did not react he continued talking to me. He cursed me and said something in the sense that I will think of him when I will be in the same situation in the future. Now I read of a thirty year old stabbing down people in the Berlin underground who did not give him money.
