Starting with Chris Rea in just a few hours

All things wrapped in paper, the fourth candle just started to sqeeze out christmas atmosthpere out of my living room's air...

Film: Hobbit

Part two of three. 3D and stuff and great pictures.

Christmas is coming even here...

So it's time to practise our ukulele skills for the pleasure of Santa when he will be coming down our chimneys from the north pole's shopping centers to provide us with stuff we desire.

Indian Friday: film 'n food

Friday was Indian Friday: first the film Lunchbox at Orfeos Erben and then, because we had a coupon for it, a meal at Gaylord.

Please find out what spotify says that I liked this year

So Spotify has tracked down what the world and I was listening to this year. And I've to say that I'm surprised that "Inside the Flood" is on place 5... Villagers and Bright Eyes - yep - these were important bands but where's Jacob Bellens and Wampire and Turbostaat ....? I'll make my top ten in the next weeks

17.247 streams would mean that spotify had payed something between 120 and 137 € to the artists (see also t3ns ) Now, is that less than they would have earned if I had bought some CDs? Lot's of artists might get some cents because of spotify which they wouldn't have earned elsewhere.
