Very interesting approach

From MySpace page of the artist, i.e. Wolff:

I know there are a lot of Wolf-bands out there but I decided that Wolff is my name and I’m keepin’ it. I’ve been planning this project and making albums for a while but it has just now come to fruition as a complete entity unto itself. I previously played in some bands out of Austin, Texas where I used to live, one of which was called Drums and Tuba and for a while there we were playing well over two hundred shows a year. Last fall I hid in my apartment and worked on being able to pull this solo act off live. The concept I was working with is that all the sounds are generated by, with, and through the tuba itself with the help of numerous guitar pedals and other sundry looping devices. Singing is through the tuba. Percussion is banging on the tuba. You get the picture. And by the way, there’s no need to be afraid. It’s not nearly as scary as it sounds. I just added the amazing Steve Garafano (drums) to the mix and we are currently finishing an album together with other musical guests such as the one and only Tony Pratt singing on a couple songs. The album is being produced and engineered by Paul Mahajan and Mark Ephraim and should be done shortly…

Military Rules Said to Hinder Therapy

Confidentiality rules breed suspicion in troops, and, some say, often make psychotherapy less effective.

Damn!

What the hell I’m doing in Switzerland???

It’s goddam Black Friday!

Life’s tough, baby, life’s tough.

Whatever works

It’s amazing, when, during a movie, you have the impression that you’re watching at yourself!!!!

Therefore, I’ve found that it’s a really excellent movie, with at last a life’s philosophy I could acknowledge.

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.

My heart goes boum

This morning (GMT+2) my heart was jumping inside my chest, was dancing, was laughing: A new album from the Eels is announced for January 19, 2010: End Times.

Internet crashed down….

I’m writing from a statistical seminar (and therefore I’m in a hurry ), just to let you know that internet at home crashed down and that I’m waiting for my new modem (for more than three weeks, now…). Sorry.

Few words anyway: I miss bagels with cream cheese in the morning (even if I have good coffee…)

Katy Perry? No, The Baseballs!

Physical preparation for the Master’s degree…

This week-end I went to hiking on the prealps in Fribourg. Despite a lot of fog, the week-end was a lot of pleasure. Click on the picture to access the whole gallery.
