Intense
1 Afro Celt Sound System - Whirl-Y-Reel 1 (Beard And Sandals Mix) - Dance dance dance is all I wanne do when I hear ACSS!

2 dEUS - Via - I remember I cried when I first heard this song played live.

3 BLØF - Meer Van Jou - This isn't the best Dutch band, not by far. Their lyrics usually don't make any sense. But this song is just, well, great. It got under my skin after just one listen.

4 C-Mon & Kypski - Chemical Mixture - C-Mon and Kypski are just funky!

5 The Gaslight Anthem - Señor And The Queen - Saw them live last night. Amazing performance, so much energy! Such great lyrics!

6 Tom Barman & Guy van Nueten - Nothing Really Ends - I actually wanted to put the dEUS version on this mix but I already had Via on it so I chose this one. What a song.

7 Cameron McGill - Depression Glass - I discovered him through the Josh Ritter forum. I am a geek.

8 Counting Crows - Round Here - It took me almost forever to get into the Counting Crows. And then they hit me. Hard. Nice link from the Gaslight Anthem's High and Lonesome with this song.

9 Eels - Flyswatter - Eels. Love. Period.

10 Jamiroquai - Deeper Underground - Just dance, okay?

11 Beastie Boys - Sabotage - Ill Communication is probably my all time favorite album. Yes even before everything The Black Crowes and Josh Ritter ever recorded.

12 Green Day - !Viva La Gloria! - !Viva la Gloria isn't necessarily my favorite Green Day song, but it has this climax in it. I saw them live last year and was surprised how incredibly good they were. I somehow didn't expect that.

13 Oasis - Little By Little - The thought that such unpleasant guys can make such a beautiful song - intriguing.

14 Radiohead - Thinking About You - The very first song that made me fall in love with Radiohead. I believe it isn't one of their most popular songs - why?

15 Josh Ritter - The Oak Tree King - The inevitable Josh Ritter song is a brilliant adaptation of Goethes poem "Der Erlkönig". I still hope he will record it some day. It's just so beautiful.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/Knirrie/journal/2010/08/08/3tvrig_summer_time%2C_best_of_2010_so_far Sun, 8 Aug 2010 13:23:52 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/Knirrie/journal/2010/08/08/3tvrig_summer_time%2C_best_of_2010_so_far 2010 has been fun fun fun so far. Since I didn't really like the themes in the Monthly Mixtape Group the last couple of months I decided to make a Best of 2010 - so far mix to accompany me through Europe this summer.

2 The Gaslight Anthem - Old Haunts

18 Josh Ritter - Folk Bloodbath]]> http://www.last.fm/user/Knirrie/journal/2010/05/30/3oa3vg_summertime%21 Sun, 30 May 2010 17:15:00 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/Knirrie/journal/2010/05/30/3oa3vg_summertime%21 Since I'm off to Italy at the end of the week, I really needed to make a summer 2010 mix. It wasn't easy this year. I was sure about 5 or 6 of the songs, but that doesn't make it a perfect-to-put-on-an-actual-cd mix. And the boyfriend needed to add some songs as well (since we'll be spending most of the summer together ;)). Well in the end he came up with just one song, but it's a really really really good one. Oh and look, there's Josh Ritter again!

So, summer 2010 here we come! (And please bring a little bit of sun to the south of Germany. Thank you.)

When you get through the gate they have the flamingo's on the right side and near the exit there's a little petting zoo.
