Bowling at the Fitzwilliam. I shouldn't say this, but I find it hilarious:Accidents, famously, do happen. Alas this adage cannot serve to soften the blow inflicted by the events at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge last Wednesday lunchtime, when a gentleman tripped upon his shoelaces, tumbled down a set of stairs and crashed into a set of three, 300-year-old Chinese vases, which had sat happily undisturbed on a windowsill at the bottom of the staircase for a good 40 years.

 Don't move 16 tons all at once. You'll only get another day older and deeper in debt.

I'm getting fed up with this. Here we go again, here it is, thanks to Google searches.
The Clash in Germany. In 1977, the Clash toured Germany. Also in 1977, the German Punk fanzine The Ostrich published 'Total Control', a little A5 booklet full with articles about the band's gigs in Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich. Because I think there's a certain historical value to this, I created a PDF [4.8MB] of the fanzine. It's partly written in English (the interviews with the band), but most of it is in German (the articles). Enjoy and download.

 Never forget dry bones in the oven. In case the oven's still hot and on full power. Just a reminder.

 Oh. Thank you, Scot. But please tell your students I won't answer any questions about blogging; I don't know myself what this is all about.

 Whenever you encounter a Dinosaur, offer him/her a carrot or a banana, or some licorice. He/she will treat you as a friend then, possibly. It works, usually. Sometimes it doesn't.

At Last: Real Flying Saucers. GFS Limited in Peterborough - GFS stands for Geoff's Flying Saucer - have developed a Flying Saucer that does all the things Flying Saucers are supposed to do: it hovers, flies, rotates, lands and whatnot. Apparently the US-Military is already interested.Geoff, of Eastfield Road, Peterborough, who was celebrating his 67th birthday on Monday, said: "It is extremely pleasing to have anything you do recognised by other people.

I've discovered eBay. It took me almost two full days registering, setting up the account, setting up a PayPal account, then scanning covers and writing descriptions. This is hard work, really.And now I'm flogging some Lotus 7-related books. Have fun. As Wolf says: "Aha, jetzt ist das Tafelsilber dran!" He's quite right actually.

Add to those possibilities the automatic loss of credibility an ad foot soldier bears in a youth driven industry and you must accept the fact that each day you go to work in advertising, you're less likely to go to work tomorrow.

A Joint Venture. Left: Cartoonist. Right: London Leben. It is obvious that they both are brainstorming heavily. And now head over there and enjoy the result.Photo taken in a pub round the corner of Holborn station by the fabulous Heike from Hamburg.

That's Literature. From: Perry Rhodan #481, Die Clique der Verräter (Sie sind die Pedolotsen - sie wollen den Ganjo töten), von William Voltz. Fantastic.

 A Punk Legend Returns. Franz Bielmeier, also known as Mary Lou Monroe, was the founding member of Düsseldorf's great punk band Charley's Girls, who then evolved into Mittagspause. Remember the Ratinger Hof? Later, he set up the famous Rondo record label and wrote and recorded beautiful songs for his new band, Aqua Velva. After some private trouble he vanished, only to resurface again for the interviews published in Jürgen Teipel's book about the history of German punk rock, Verschwende deine Jugend; then he disappeared again.
And now he's back. Franz has started recording again, and it's FAB. He gave permission to publish four of his new songs exclusively right here at The Cartoonist. With the exception of Dub, all those songs are part of his Schwester Strahl (Sister Ray) project. Be prepared for some fabulous noise:
Baby Yo [MP3, 2.7MB]Ente + Sally [MP3, 4.3MB] Dub [MP3, 3.7MB] Unfall [MP3, 8.4MB]
Franz Bielmeier is now looking for a record label. Any ideas are welcome, so please leave a comment.
And here are the lyrics:
Höre. Staune. Gute Laune. Enjoy.
