Acording to some of my friends while I was thirteen or fourteen, the most horrifying and most evil movie ever, now availible as a musical:

I was searching for mp3 files of Souad Massi when I stumbeld over weblisten.com self claimed "first legal spanish mp3 shop" or something like that. By the time I entered the webpage I didn't know yet that they are offering only paid downloads and pressed the download button for one of the songs by Souad Massi. This is the result:
If you have installated an antivirus with firewall in your PC you must disable it and restart your Explorer to start the download.
Well of course I will disable everything and also give them my creditcard number, my amazon and ebay password. What else do they need? Maybe PINs and TANs for homebanking or the PIN for the ATM?

The first tapes I bought (in the early eighties at the age of ten) were Sigue Sigue Sputnik (which I still like), Wham!, Depeche Mode and ofcourse Nena. I sold the Wham! and Depeche Mode tapes shortly after I purchased them, because it seemed that those tapes where produced especialy for girls, and I at the age of ten needed more manly music.
Some would say Nena isn't very manly music, but I only listend to a few tracks. My favourite track was "Im Land der Elefanten" ("in the land of the elephants"), yesterday I downloaded it and listend to it the first time since almost 20 years. IT WAS HORRIBLE !!! The lyrics: ...you can hear the drums, but you will never know what elephant eyes see, you can hear the VODOO drums, but you will never know what elephant eyes see.
The Nena tape survived maybe one year, my little brother, at the age of maybe three or four pulled out the ribbon. Shortly after the Nena incident, I got hold of the only tape I still posses today: Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill. A bit latter, maybe at the age of thirteen I found LPs and the holy grail of music: german heavy metal (whimps and poseurs leave the hall!!!). I grew up in a very little town were only two types of music existed: True music (aka Heavy Metal and Hard Rock) and stuff poor lost souls were calling "pop". My favourite german Heavy Metal bands where ACCEPT, RUNNING WILD and HELLOWEEN, but also (of course) IRON MAIDEN and MANOWAR. Manowar was known for its "great lyrics": Manowar, Manowar, living on the road, when other bands play, MANOWAR KILLS. On the Hard Rock side: AC/DC and Guns N` Roses' If you're interested in obscure german music, try out "Running Wild" they play Pirate Metal, Cowboy Metal and Fantasy Metal but mostly Pirate Metal. Pirate Metal means that the songs usually have a pirate theme, good example is their song "Under Joly Roger"
At the end of the 80th, hardcore arrived in our little village and I became a fan of Suicidal Tendencies. At the age of 14 I once entered my room and saw all those Manowar posters pinned at my wall (next to the Iron Maiden flag) and I was thinking, that at I am defenetly to old for LPs and posters from Manowar and I taered down all the Manowar posters (I kept the Iron Maiden flag for a bit longer).
It dawned to me, that there must be more to music than long haired men in tight spandex trousers.
In the early 90th Grunge started. Like everone else I was wearing checkered shirts but except everyone else I didn't liked Nirvana.
In 1992 (then 17 years old) I felt a bit lost (musically), because I didn't liked Heavy Metal anymore and I didn't like Grunge :-( . But then suddenly bands like Rage against the mashine apeared and I was thinking "holly shit !!!". But very soon I became bored by Crossover. After that came my "dark" stage. I never wore those helloween like gothic clothing but for a few years I listend to bands like Projekt Pitchfork and Deine Lakaien.
During the late 90th I moved to Heidelberg and later to Mannheim, small towns but towns with much more CD shops and music magzines, this and the rise of the internet in 1995 introduced me to millions of "musics" I never dreamed of as a teenager.
Why this outbreak of nostalgia ?
Everytime I have to go to the "Einwohnermeldeamt" (Citizen Registration Office) I see a very badly done graffiti, it says "there is no ending of history". Each time I see this graffitiI start to laugh, because there is a german song called "Alles hat ein Ende nur die Wurst hat zwei" (Everything has an end, but the sausage has two) by Stefan Remmler (member of Trio). A couple of days while downloading stupid german songs I realised, that I actually never heared that sausage song. I listend to an excerpt at Remmlers homepage and as you can guess it's awfull. But aren't suasages awfull too? Sausages are the most surreal food there is. Sausage is very strange to me, just think how they are made: a gut stuffed with meat and sometimes even blood. But I have to confess, as strange sausages are to me, i still eat them from time to time. While thinking of how surreal sausages are, I started earching for surreal wurst/sausage pictures and there are lots of them:
So while spending a few minutes looking for surreal wurst pictures I stumbeld across the domain www.wurst.com the private webpage of someone called Shane, which hosts more than 1GB of mp3 and video files of Sigue Sigue Sputnik, the hereos of my pre-teenage time!!! Which made me think of all the other scary stuff I listend to while I was still very young which made me think that I never posted any private stuff to my weblog.
The "Brief Safe" is an innovative new diversion safe that can secure your cash, documents, and other small valuables from inquisitive eyes and thieving hands, both at home and when you're traveling. Items can be hidden right under their noses with these specially-designed briefs which contain a fly-accessed 4" x 10" secret compartment with Velcro® closure and "special markings" on the lower rear portion. Leave the "Brief Safe" in plain view in your laundry basket or washing machine at home, or in your suitcase in a hotel room - even the most hardened burgler or most curious snoop will "skid" to a screeching halt as soon as they see them. (Wouldn't you?) Made in USA. One size. Color: white (and brown). To add realistic smell, check out "Doo Drops" on Page 67. Order it here
While seated on the bench, an Oklahoma judge used a male enhancement pump, shaved and oiled his nether region, and pleasured himself, state officials charged yesterday in a petition to remove the jurist. According to the below complaint filed by the Oklahoma Attorney General, Donald D. Thompson, 57, was caught in the act by a clerk, trial witnesses, and his longtime court reporter (these unsettling first-hand accounts will make you wonder what's going on under other black robes) More info

This track is actually boring and stupid, but if you know the tv commercial (for Rügenwälder sausages) which is also weird in some way, then you may find it funny like I did.
nevertheless, I was able to work my 12h shift today :-(
That's not all folks, my girlfriend is visiting her parents for a few days, so I am alone for christmas :-[
To summerise, today at Christmas, I am :
ill
alone
tired from working
Yesterday when I was allready alone, I spend my time on some big questions which are allready for a long time on my mind:
Question One:
"There's an old folk warning that if you throw a frog in boiling water he will quickly jump out. But if you put a frog in a pan of cold water and raise the temperature ever so slowly, the gradual warming will make the frog doze happily . . . in fact, the frog will eventually cook to death, without ever waking up." The answer, in english or german
Question Two:
"The jolly old Santa Claus that we know from countless images did not come from folklore, nor did he originate in the imaginations of Moore and Nast. He comes from the yearly advertisements of the Coca-Cola Company. He wears the corporate colors — the famous red and white — for a reason: he is working out of Atlanta, not out of the North Pole." The answer
Anton Maiden represented the ultimate in geek DIY culture. Using MIDI files of Iron Maiden songs cribbed off the Internet and a microphone plugged into his PC, 19-year-old Anton Gustafsson created energetic and excitable versions of his favorite band from his home in Sweden. His unusual recordings became a cult hit in the United States, mostly with college radio DJs and fans of "outsider music." More

The story of the "Exploding Whale" is one of my favourite weird stories that realy happend.
Dave Barry 1990:
I am absolutely not making this incident up; in fact I have it all on videotape. The tape is from a local TV news show in Oregon, which sent a reporter out to cover the removal of a 45-foot, eight-ton dead whale that washed up on the beach. The responsibility for getting rid of the carcass was placed upon the Oregon State Highway Division, apparently on the theory that highways and whales are very similar in the sense of being large objects.
So anyway, the highway engineers hit upon the plan -- remember, I am not making this up -- of blowing up the whale with dynamite. The thinking here was that the whale would be blown into small pieces, which would be eaten by sea gulls, and that would be that. A textbook whale removal.
So they moved the spectators back up the beach, put a half-ton of dynamite next to the whale and set it off. I am probably not guilty of understatement when I say that what follows, on the videotape, is the most wonderful event in the history of the universe. First you see the whale carcass disappear in a huge blast of smoke and flame. Then you hear the happy spectators shouting "Yayy!" and "Whee!" Then, suddenly, the crowd's tone changes. You hear a new sound like "splud." You hear a woman's voice shouting "Here come pieces of... MY GOD!" Something smears the camera lens.
Later, the reporter explains: "The humor of the entire situation suddenly gave way to a run for survival as huge chunks of whale blubber fell everywhere." One piece caved in the roof of a car parked more than a quarter of a mile away. Remaining on the beach were several rotting whale sectors the size of condominium units. There was no sign of the sea gulls, who had no doubt permanently relocated in Brazil. This is a very sobering videotape. Here at the institute we watch it often, especially at parties. But this is no time for gaiety. This is a time to get hold of the folks at the Oregon State Highway division and ask them, when they get done cleaning up the beaches, to give us an estimate on the US Capitol.
