USI-Kleeblattlauf

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

On Friday, I participated at the annual “Kleeblattlauf” organized by the institute for sports (USI) of the University of Graz. As every year, the relay race in teams of four lead us up the Rosenberg. The ascent combined with possibly this-year’s-record-breaking heat was quite exhaustive. However, our results (especially mine :-) ) were quite okay:

Peter 18:28
Jan 12:24
Christian 16:20
Christopher 15:16

Here are some pictures taken before the running:

Kal

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Just visited a free concert of Kal at the Orpheum in Graz. It was awesome! They call their style “Rock ‘n Roma”, a mixture of gipsy folk music and finest punk sounds. Absolutely shakable! ;-) The atmosphere was great, and though there were not that many people, you might have got the feeling that they were becoming more and more… I bought both of their albums, KAL (2006) and Radio Romanista (2008). Hope to see them back in Graz or somewhere else in Austria soon!

Liegen lernen

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Great 2003 film (English title: “Learning to Lie”) by Hendrik Handloegten / X film, who also produced the films “Lola rennt” and “Goodbye Lenin”. From the soundtrack: e.g. Otomo by Tarwater, Inspite of Me by Morphine. I love the music playing when Helmut slips into the rain puddle, apparently it’s “Cotier Liegen Lernen” by Denzel and Huhn. Haven’t found a free full version of the song on the internet, but you can listen to a sample at Amazon.

The Jacket theme

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Fell in love with the theme of the movie “The Jacket” (as in the love scenethe final scene, or this loop) one more time. It’s simply great! Simple, but simply great. Is it “Fleeting Smile” by Roger Eno? Or is it “Sudottu” by 76, as some say? Though having searched a really long time, couldn’t find the whole song… Any help appreciated!
