Celebration – Evergreen

…is my song of the day! i love the music from this extraordinary BAND for a long time now (maybe it´s because i´m always in love with a catchy HAMMOND- ORGAN tune).
plus, i found this stunning picture on CULT STATUS this morning…have a look at one of my favourite blogs to get inspired!

das ist Berlin, wie’s weint und wie´s lacht


Back!!!
Jetzt, angekommen in Berlin. Kopf reist noch nach.

Berlin, Berlin, Du bist ein heißes Pflaster
wer Dich nicht kennt, verbrüht sich leicht den Fuß
Wo die Moral wohnt, wohnt auch gleich das Laster
und der Verriß blüht neben süßem Schmus
Berlin, Berlin, hier lebt der Mensch gefährlich
und rutscht er aus, dann dreht sich keiner um
Doch haut er hin, dann ist er der Beifall ehrlich
- Berlin, Berlin, Du bist mein Publikum

Berlin, Berlin, wenn Deine Blumen sprießen
da draußen, in der Laubenkolonie
sieht man Dich steh´n und fleißig sie begießen
das Rosmarin und auch den Sellerie
Fühlt Mutter ihre Lebenszeit verfließen
im Testament wird schnell noch angebracht
Vergeßt mir nur nicht, Vatern zu begießen
- Das ist Berlin, wie’s weint und wie es lacht
- das ist Berlin, wie’s weint und wie es lacht

Mummy Boy

he wasn´t a soft and pink with a fat little tummy;
he was a hard and hollow, a little boy mummy.

“tell us,  please, doctor, the reason or cause,
why our bundle of joy is just a bundle of gauze.”

“my diagnosis,” he said, “for the better or worse,
is that your son is the result of an old pharaoh´s curse.”

(…)

It was late in the day—just before dark.
Mummy boy took his dog for a walk in the park.

The park was empty except for a squirrel,
and a birthday party of an mexican girl.

the boys and girls had started to play,
but noticed that thing that looked like papier mâché .

“Look, it´s like a pinata,” said one of the boys,
“lets crack it wide open and get candy and toys.”

they took a baseball bat and whacked open his head.
Mummy boy fell to the ground; he finally was dead.

Inside of his head were no candy or prizes,
just a few stray beetles of various sizes.

Taken from TIM BURTON´S short story “MUMMY BOY“.
Abstract from a book, called “THE MELANCHOLY DEATH OF THE OYSTER BOY & OTHER STORIES

ATP Festival

There is an amazing music festival which takes place in the UK. why haven´t i ever heard of it? thats pretty sad because the line-up sounds insanely great.
The Festival ALL TOMORROW´S PARTIES is named after  THE VELVET UNDERGROUND song and was founded in 1999. The documentary about the concerts is now available on DVD and the trailer looks really promising!

WE LOVE YOU SO

/ outta the darkness-and into the fire
/ ill tell ya i love ya
/ and my hearts in the strangest place
thats how it started
/ and thats how it ends

/ and i know your with me
/ its a point of pride
/ and its louder then lighting /
in this room of mine

i like to show you that great box of treasures. it´s the whole collection of all the printing blocks my grandparents and my parents used for catalogues, booklets, flyer and advertising for their own company. A lot of material of a half-century! it was such an exciting moment to unpack the carton. Besides old bills, notes and illustrations i found a cliché with an image of my grandparents- i think it was used for an anniversary issue…The two looked amazingly charming, right?
