Useless quote for 25 May:
"… my taste in music was governed by a futile search for something to relieve the succession of encounters with mediocrity and survive a mind-numbing period in our musical history that I consider to be one of the most barren and pointless of all time."

That theme, "Money", brings this classic to mind:
"Didn't have the money round to buy a Morrie Thou'

The Stranglers, "Get A) Grip (On Yourself)" (1977; live in studio with Simple Minds, 2015)

Es ist Sonntag. Ich habe einfach mal keine Lust darauf, hier einen Film zu besprechen. Für eine TV-Serie ist das Wetter einfach zu schön. (Ja, ich weiß, ökologisch und hydrologisch bekommen wir echte Probleme, wenn das noch länger so bleibt.) Da weise ich Sie freundlich auf mein zweit- oder drittliebstes Fernsehen hin. Das, wo ich nicht immer hinsehen muss, um etwas davon mitzunehmen. Die öffentlich-rechtliche Pop&Rock-Musikbox ARTE!
