Former members of a band's classic line-up meeting up after x years or decades. That's my genre. 💛

Page Hamilton has always been the brain and the main songwriter of Helmet, it's his band. But without John Stanier and Henry Bogdan it's a different and, frankly, second-rate Helmet, that rhythm section was too important to the sound.

Trump’s Air Force One deception faces scrutiny over ‘decoy’ passengers

Journalists and others were allowed to fly on presidential jet despite security threat while Trump was spirited away

The only correct take is, of course: The cowardly media would not be ready and willing to die for president and country, for our freedom! They should be proud to have been used as a decoy!

We've entered a new age of enlightenment. Where someone heard someone else say something. And said, well.

Für mich am Coolsten waren die Sisters of Mercy ganz konkret am 4. Februar 1992, als Unser Lehrer Dr. Specht mit seiner Klasse nach Berlin fuhr und bei der großen Party Fete dort ausschließlich "More" gespielt wurde. Ich kannte die "Band" da vermutlich gar nicht oder kaum, aber: so eine Musik in so einem Straßenfeger! Das waren immerhin verzerrte Gitarren! Cool!

Ich bin danach kein großer Fan geworden, aber seit Freitag kann ich The Sisters of Mercy für eine Weile überhaupt nicht mehr ernstnehmen. Da ist mir nämlich aufgefallen, dass (vor allem der laaange 1993er-Mix von) "Vision Thing" mich gitarrentechnisch an Running Wild erinnert, die einzig wahren Piratenmetaller Deutschlands. Andreas Bruhn hat für "Vision Thing" damals die Gitarre eingespielt, Andrew Eldritch hatte ihn aus Hamburg rekrutiert. Running Wild wurden in den '70ern gegründet in...Hamburg.

Diese Ähnlichkeit beim Gitarrenriff kann ich auch nach ausgiebiger Recherche mit keinem konkreten Midtempo-Lied von Running Wild belegen. Aber ich höre sie trotzdem.

Hier der streithafte Sonnenbrillen-Egomane, der unaufhörlich tourt, auf dem Rücken von mickrigen 3 Alben, das jüngste 36 Jahre alt. Dort eine andere One-Man-Band, die in Wacken gerade ihren allerletzten Live-Auftritt gegeben hat, aber auf bisher 17 Studioalben kommt.

Vielleicht doch re-immatrikulieren. Und eine biographische Gegenüberstellung Andrew Eldritch/"Rock 'n' Rolf" Kasparek (nur 2 Jahre auseinander!) als Abschlussarbeit schreiben.

Trump acknowledges 'no video or proof' of alleged vandalism to Reflecting Pool

President Donald Trump acknowledged on Sunday that there was "no video or proof" of alleged vandalism to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Poo

He "acknowledged", how cool. I'm out of obscenities.

Don Nelson, legendary coach and five-time NBA champion as player, dies at 86

Don Nelson, the second-winningest coach in NBA history who won five championships as a player with the Boston Celtics, died on Sunday

Don Nelson, man. Every German basketball fan of a certain age agrees with Dirk Nowitzki's quoted reaction. The last time I thought of those running and gunning Dallas Mavericks in the early 2000s was...this afternoon.

Right-wing role models for the whole world. Comparing a world-renowned immunologist to Josef Mengele? Take notes, lunatics abroad!

Woke up not remembering any dreams, as usual. But with this song on my mind.

In its detailed analysis of how your corpse will appear when lying on a brightly lit postmortem examination table, a report published Friday by researchers in the University of Minnesota’s mortuary science program concluded that your naked body will make the entire morgue laugh. “According to our projections, the mortician, an assistant, and anyone else who happens to walk in and catch sight of your unclothed remains will immediately burst into uncontrollable laughter at both the size and shape of your various body parts,” said lead researcher Rachel Stein, adding that your abdomen, genitals, and buttocks, along with any tattoos you may have, will become inside jokes at the funeral home, hospital, or medical examiner’s office where your dead body will lie exposed for several hours.

The master race has taken over. And it's passive-aggressive, but also petty and spiteful.

And it WILL de-clog the pool pipes! Thank you for your attention!

Some instrumental and vocal accents in this song have turned into little ghosts that haunt me in the best way possible.
