Chemical Brothers

“The brothers gonna work it out!” – It’s ChemBros time today!
The music was great, the scenery was great, the lightshow was great, only the duration sucked!
They started late (after a nice DJ) and finished early!?

They seem to be the better rock stars than the Foos ;-)

Science Night and The LHC Express

Yesterday (June 14th 2008) I was guide in the LHC Express at the Science Night in Berlin.
The LHC Express was a pimped city train (S-Bahn) that was circling the city ring from about 16h00 till 1h00. After my three hours shift, explaining the LHC and it’s connected experiments as well as the physics behind all this to the visitors/public, I had problems speaking …
With some minor issues/problems/difficulties I still think it was a big success.

Links in German: Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften, S-Bahn

Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?

Good question! But I wont tell you the answer!
This very nice book is actually the novel the movie Bladerunner is based on.
Its about a bounty hunter looking for fled androids … its not just science fiction!
Certainly recommendable!

Immergut Festival

Just returned from the Immergut Festival near Neustrelitz/Germany.
A small but very nice festival with a good selection of not too big bands in a nice area.
The camping site was nice (the toiletts actually got paper refillments and some pumping action on a regular basis … cool) and line up was even better than I expected.

Ólafur Arnalds, The Audience, Blood Red Shoes, Trip Fontaine, Johnossi, Menomena, The Weakerthans, iLiKETRAiNS, The Notwist, Louie Austen, Ter Haar, Microstern, John Goldtrain, Cartridge, Lo-Fi-Fnk, Get Well Soon, Girls in Hawaii, Fotos, Slut, Peter Licht, The Lemonheads

I even caught a stick from the Get Well Soon’s drummer … does that make me groopy?
If not than maybe getting the signatures afterwards does … but I thought a stick without names is just a stick.

Well … nice exhausting weekend ;-)
And I certainly have to get hold of some (more) music by The Weakerthans, iLiKETRAiNS, The Notwist, Get Well Soon and Fotos.
