Oh my god! He’s got his own record! Pat Monahan has his own CD! Without train, only he and his sexy voice! I have to get it. I know I’m gonna love it. The first single, “her eyes”, is great! I looooooove the lyrics. Just imagine he’s singing it for you, girls! You gonna go down to your knees! (and a special advice from me: go and check out his pictures! photo gallery 3, second row, third picture from the left! whoooooo! ) Have to go and check out his video again and again and again…

Heyhey, I wanna be a rockstar… whou – great new song from Nickelback. Very funny video. Did you see Kidrock? And Nelly Furtado? And Alicia Keys?… funny idea! And the lyrics! I want a badroom big enough to play baseball in and a king size tub big enough for ten plus me. We’ll all stay skinny as we just won’t eat. I wanna hire eight bodyguards that love to beat up assholes (I need that too! I always mess up with the security guys at clubs… it’s getting dangerous!). And a big black jet with a bedroom in it. (oh yeah, want to have this too! gonna use that bed! ) I’m gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion (I already do). I want a new tour bus full of old guitars (yes, and full of groupies ).

So, I’m going out again today. And the last few weeks, I already lived the life of a rockstar, somehow. So, there’s not much more to do than to wait until it happens!

It’s getting quite cold these days and it’s somehow time to stay more often at home, light some candles and go deep inside my soul. And, of course, listen to some good music. There are several artists I like to listen to when it’s getting darker and darker.

For me, a typical winter season sound is Sade. Her album “lovers rock” is in my opinion her best one and through and through full of good rhythm and very nice produced with this groovy kind of drums.

Also a good fall season sound is Apocalyptica. It’s dark and pure. I like the idea of going back to the roots and take “real” instruments, unplugged.They have a new song, together with Corey Taylor, called “I’m not Jesus“. I love this song so much! You hardly hear that there are no electronic instrument! It’s really great. It’s heavy metal how it should be!

argh! Got a musical burnout somehow! Feel like every word I write is bullshit and all my thoughts are too childish to be included in a song. It’s so hard: I have so many feelings and I’d like to change them into words and it just doesn’t work. Hope, this will go over soon…

Just saw Ville Valo from HIM on tv. He’s just very sexy. Somehow, his dark voice doesn’t fit to his appearance – it makes him very interesting. And I love their music.

My drummer just sent me two of his songs. I think, we’re gonna pimp them a little bit, make them faster and then, we’ll have some very nice songs! just to bridge the time gap until my ideas come back..

20′000 people have been at freestyle.ch yesterday, they now say on tv. I’m just watching what I saw life yesterday. 2′000 tons of snow on the big ramp. Freeski, snowboard, skateboard, fmx – all the best athletes performing. Really crazy guys! Great event, somehow like a music festival but with much more action. There are food stands, drink stands, label stands and even concerts!

And surprise, surprise, one performed I already saw a few time ago: Gimma. And to my surprise, he was way better than the last time. He was much more talking and making the crowd shake. So, the concert was ok.

And on Saturday evening, Millencolin was on stage. They play good old punkrock – not very special but still good music that fits to an event like that. Lightshow was not very good and I don’t know why they did not turn off the floodlight lighting in the middle of the crowd, it was somehow distracting. But at least the sound was great. Drums very clear and strong – I like that.

So the other good thing about Freestyle.ch is, that there are all the labels which show their new material and they usually have a lot of give aways. so take a big bag with you when you go! By the way: I’m really horny to go out skiing again – can’t wait for snow to come!
And again, another good thing is the spirit. Everyone is happy, good music everywhere, party, cold beer – what do you want more? Everyday should be like that…

But now I have to go back to reality and stop partying so much – the bass guitar player is coming back from his vacation and the drummer sent me some songs to work on and I really want to push this thing forward.

When I’m not struggling through the city, I often sit at home, working or watching MTV or Viva to see what’s going on in the world of music.

Today, they played a song that is on for weeks and it’s called hey there Delilah from the plain white T’s. I heard it before and I loved it from the start. There are these songs you love the first time you hear them. It’s just so easy to listen to and how sweet the story it tells. And then a little bit of guitar and a sweet voice. I have never heard of this band – they look quite young and not too sexy. but it doesn’t matter, if you close your eyes and just imagine the man of your dreams would be singing it to you…

Attention! It’s getting spiritual.

There’s a meadow in the middle of the city where I often go when it’s sunny – as it was yesterday. I just laid there, my handbag as a pillow, staring at the blue sky and the fast moving clouds. If you imagine that the clouds don’t move, it feels like you could see the world turn.

Thus, I was lying there staring at the sky and observing the flies above my head and feathers falling down from apparently nowhere. I was lying there, feeling all alone, only reminded to be in the city by the vibrations of the trams passing by with my absolute favorite song at the moment playing in my head. You wanna know which song, right? It’s from Coldplay and it’s called “Yellow“. This rhythm! Great song. I love the lyrics, I love his voice, I love the positive attitude it gives you! How nice if you imagine someone singing this song for you… It almost made me cry. Ok, I’m honest: it made me cry – it does all the times. I was just lying there and tears were streaming down my cheek and no one noticed because I got the sunglasses on and anyway: there was no one there, at this special moment, in my own world. There it was, this sweet sadness creeping up my stomach into my head and heart and not letting go anymore. How I love and hate this feeling! It gives you somehow the impression to be alive although you are some sort of dying. And it’s always related to some songs which are related to lovely or not so lovely memories. All my live is somehow related or saved in songs.
