Had a weird day? A shitty day? An exhausting day? A good day?
Well.. whatever. Start dancing!
Musik
Rise Against – Megaphone
Don’t wait, or turn away
Don’t choke on words you meant to say
Speak up now you’re not alone
The already a bit torn American flag held out of the car of the artists INDECLINE (Activist Art Collective founded in 2001, work i.a. naked Trump statue) in the first seconds of the video seems like a pretty clear message. This is addressed to America, to the people.
This ain’t a fucking joke
Pick up the megaphone
Respect Existence or Expect Resistance.
UMSE – Bescheid
Ein wunderschöner Sommertag am See, ein kühles Getränk in der Hand und UMSE auf den Ohren, gibts was schöneres?
Zur Zeit verbringe ich meine Tage zwar eher in geschlossenen Universitätsräumen und das einzig kühle hier ist die Stimmung – aber genau hier habe ich eben auch gesehen, dass UMSE im September ein neues Album herausbringt! Und der erste Track verspricht mit sanften Trompetenklängen schon Großes. Ich freu mich drauf.
Paul McCartney Carpool Karaoke
If you need a little break from life, go on this little car ride with James Corden and Paul McCartney. It is funny, emotional, informative and overall so absolutely entertaining. You will not be able to bear down a smile, I swear.
In the end you can see a woman crying while listening to „Hey Jude“ and yes, that would have definitely been me. Goosebumps. And yes, the take-away message is: sometimes the best things happen to you when you’re day drinking in a pub!
State of the UK – a hip hop summer mix by the Foreign Beggars
The crème de la crème of UK hip hop selected by no one other than the Foreign Beggars. (And of course they included themselves.)
A very well accomplished mix to chill, study or have a drink.
The Rolling Stones – Start me up
Good morning to you all!
Gregory Alan Isakov – Liars
I still have to get used to still seeing the sun at half past 9. Feels unreal. So let’s have a bit semi-dramatic soundtrack for a nice moment on the balcony on such a beautiful Tuesday evening.
Her – On & On feat. AnnenMayKantereit and Roméo Elvis
Beautiful how the three different musical styles fit together in this performance!
This is definitely a feature worth the listen.
RIP XXXTENTACION
Another gun victim
Another dead human being
Another tragedy
Another dead artist
Another musical spring that ran dry

Lorde – Green Light
I think I must have heard this song a hundred times already. But today, while watching the finale of the series „New Girl“ it hit me for the first time. This song brings out so many emotions. It’s good for a kitchen dance, on a car ride or on a bike, but definitely with a loud singing along. This song makes me really happy and really sad at the same time.
‚Here it is! All of it! This is everything that I’ve been feeling!‚
.. was Lorde’s comment on the song. And I am so grateful she shared them with us.
