Old Mates. Harry Rag & Peter Hein & Fehlfarben: Die wilde 13 [MP3]. 7:01:12 PM   MP3 | |

The Blongs. This is all Majo's fault. And I'm actually very busy today, which is why I've posted today's entries yesterday. But there you go. There's no escape. This is going to get very German now. 1. Ein Lied aus deiner frühesten Kindheit Love me do, The Beatles. Weiß nicht warum; fällt mir grad so ein - Ich bin ja in den 60ern aufgewachsen. 2. Ein Lied, das du mit deiner ersten großen Liebe assoziierst Keine Ahnung. Wahrscheinlich Flattermann von the Neat. 3. Ein Lied, das dich an einen Urlaub erinnert Una Festa Sui Prati von Adriano Celentano. 4. Ein Lied, von dem du in der Öffentlichkeit nicht so gerne zugeben möchtest, dass du es eigentlich ganz gerne magst Nee, da fällt mir nix ein zu. Bestimmt Friedhelm Riegel (hiess der so?) mit Rang-Zang-Zang (hätt ich ja wirklich gern mal als MP3). Oder alles von Frank Zander. 5. Ein Lied, das dich 'geplagt von Liebeskummer' begleitet hat Keine Ahnung. Eben Satellite of Love. 6. Ein Lied, das du in deinem Leben vermutlich am häufigsten gehört hast Raumpatrouille von Peter Thomas. 7. Ein Lied, das dein liebstes Instrumental ist Hallogallo von Neu. 8. Ein Lied, das eine deiner liebsten Bands repräsentiert Run Run Run - The Velvet Underground 9. Ein Lied, in dem du dich selbst wiederfindest oder in dem du dich auf eine gewisse Art und Weise verstanden fühlst Nee. Gibt keine Songs für alternde Cartoonisten. Wahrscheinlich aber Pretty Vacant. 10. Ein Lied, das dich an eine spezielle Begebenheit erinnert (& welche das ist) Leimschnüffler, weil da sind mir auf der Bühne gleich zwei Saiten gerissen. E und A! 11. Ein Lied, bei dem du am besten entspannen kannst Piccicato in Heaven. 12. Ein Lied, das für eine richtig gute Zeit in deinem Leben steht Schwachsinn. Hm, vielleicht Janie Jones und Fehlfarben mit Es geht voran? 13. Ein Lied, das momentan dein Lieblingssong ist My LCA von Githead. 14. Ein Lied, das du deinem besten Freund widmen würdest Wie? Was jetzt? 15. Ein Lied, bei dem du das Gefühl hast, dass es außer dir niemand gerne hört Ist doch wohl ersichtlich aus meinen obigen Antworten, oder? 16. Ein Lied, das du vor allem aufgrund seiner Lyrics magst Hallogallo. 17. Ein Lied, das weder deutsch- noch englischsprachig ist und dir sehr gefällt Ah - Una Festa Sui Prati. 18. Ein Lied, bei dem du dich bestens abreagieren kannst Wire - 12XU. 19. Ein Lied, das auf deiner Beerdigung gespielt werden sollte Kein Lied. Ich will, daß irgendein Pfaffe aus Zettels Traum vorliest. Oder wenigstens Abend mit Goldrand. Oder sonst irgendeinen Mist. Aber bloß keine Musik. 20. Ein Lied, das du zu den besten aller Zeiten rechnen würdest Da fällt mir nix ein. War's das jetzt? Es langt aber auch nu wirklich. Ich geb die Latte weiter an Detlev, Mareike und Ernst. 11:06:26 AM   MP3, This & That | |

Busy tomorrow. Tomorrow's blog entries today. The Tigerfibel. The Tiger 1 was a complex and expensive machine, prone to break down in places where repair or even retrieval might be impossible. Lt. Col Hans Christern, in charge of training Tiger crews, realised that a manual written by soldiers might be an easier read than the dull booklets authored by the manufacturers.

Basil Says. I believe The Cartoonist is rather annoyed today: Dear Ralf Thank you for your interest in the advertised vacancy. I have read your CV with interest, however unfortunately will not be taking your application any further. The role demands a specific set of skills and experiences which in this instance do not match your background. I wish you all the best, Kind regards XXX The Cartoonist keeps wondering: what else is there he doesn't know about the wonderful world of advertising? Having worked above the line, below the line, knowing a Mac insideout, able to do magic marker scamps, having art directed photo shoots and films, even working on multimedia business apparently isn't enough these days. So perhaps he should grow himself a third leg or something like that? Or dye his hair green? Wear sunglasses all the time? Or a Paul Smith Suit? Dear readers, enlighten The Cartoonist. Cheer him up. 6:22:16 PM   This & That | |

No Money Down. This video is from '85 or '86, but I still find it shocking somehow. It also reminds me of the Muppets Show though. Update: from some of the reactions (emails) I received, I should add that this video is probably not safe for work; also, if you're of a weird personality anyway, this video could make you even totally weird. Bonkers. Don't watch this video. 2:54:57 PM   Cult | |

Basil Says. He's in a really bad mood tonight; be careful with your comments. I'm still the most incredible and most utterly wise(st) skeleton in and of and out of the whole blogosphere. Just to let you know. Infidels. Pah. I am not going to see a dentist! 9:04:16 PM   Basil Says | |

I hate this. As you might have noticed, I've slightly changed the templates of The Cartoonist, regarding the headings/titles of each post. It doesn't matter why I've done that (this had something to do with my RSS feed, which I still don't understand), but anyway, I've tested it, just to be on the safe side. Now have a look: Safari OK. Mozilla OK. Firefox OK. Even Opera OK. Only Microsoft Explorer shows weird stuff. Why, oh why? Oh bugger this. I'll have a beer now. 8:00:59 PM   This & That | |

Current Affairs. Wolf's done it again. Apart from the fact that I really don't know if I can ever publish my Bishop-Cartoons again anywhere (Thanks to Danish Newspapers, Prophets, Whites, Blacks, Coloureds and probably Super Dickmanns), here's a new one from Wolfgang Sangmeister regarding the Fußballweltmeisterschaft, or Weltfußballmeisterschaft, or Weltballmeisterschaft Fuß or whatever. Or is it merely Fooball World Cup? World Cup by Foot? I don't know much about this sport. Anyway, here's Boneball. Applause. 5:19:18 PM   Paintings by Wolf | |
