Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you: The album of the year!

My favourite newly discovered band (well, it’s been a while already but in comparison, rather new discovery with their last album) hasn’t let me down. Just when you thought, there isn’t much new sound to discover, a totally awesome band like Into Eternity comes […]

In an old tale, Gargamelle is the mother of Gargantua, a giant. In Physics, Gargamelle was the very appropriate name for a giant of a machine: The mother of all bubble chambers, as this article states.
A bubble chamber works like this: You fill it with a liquid and heat the liquid to the point where […]

Just days before I’ve been using the service for 2 years, my last.fm profile crossed the 50000 songs line. So, that’s more than 25000 songs per year (plus a couple of thousands on the MP3-player, I want last.fm support for that as well!).
The top artists at this moment are:

Dream Theater crossed the 2000 listens only […]

So, Google Analytics shows a visitor today from China, and shows one visitor today who reached my site via Google with the search words “powered by wordpress” “leave a comment”. He did, but my good old Akismet spam plugin caught it. Too bad for the poor chinese spammer…

I have some new CDs, Twelfth Gate, Shatter Messiah and the new Mastodon. The first two will be shortly covered in a combined review, but the Mastodon will get it’s own review some time next week or next weekend, as it is truly remarkable and noteworthy. Until then, look at their MySpace page and […]

Here’s a link to a video of Christian Lindberg playing Czardas on the trombone. It’s not only fun to watch for it’s beauty and artistry but also because he and his pianist are joking all the time…
If you want to know more about Christian, my favourite and the world’s leading trombonist, look at his Wikipedia […]

First Link: Amazon has released a video downloaded service that is so full with DRM that everybody who still be punched for the higher good of mankind. They even reserve the right to remotely delete the video you can’t watch on your DVD player and payed the full price for. Idiocy…

Second Link: Mark Shuttleworth talks […]

Yesterday, i looked up Wolfgang Pauli on Wikipedia. He was one of the most important physicists. His exclusion principle makes us understand the differences between bonsons (e.g. protons) and fermions (e.g. electrons). His insight has led us to understanding of why electrons move on seperate paths in atoms, and why protons don’t and why an […]

Ok, what can I blog about? Not too much on my head, so it’s time for the promised review of Manowar - Fighting for the World.
I want to compare this album to Judas Priest - British Steel! It’s not really one of their first albums, but viewing from today it’s an early album and sounds […]

Last month I bought some cheap CDs: Manowar - Fighting the World (which I bought because WGAF included the title song in his #100 songs), Simon&Garfunkel - Sounds of Silence; about which I will talk some other time, but now it’s time for a true classic: Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak.
Of all the classic rock bands, […]
