Falls ihr dachtet, schon alles gesehen zu haben… Ich weiß es doch auch nicht!
Einen Kommentar hinterlassenDer Schlagzeuger Tyler Visser hat sich mal eben für acht Stunden hinter hinter seine Schießbude gesetzt und die (fast) komplette Diskografie von Tool getrommelt. Am Stück. Nicht mehr, nicht weniger.
My attempt at drumming through TOOL’s discography in one take. I want to thank my family and friends for the endless support! I also want to thank everyone else for taking the time to share this experience with me. I have definitely gained a greater level of appreciation for the compositional work of Danny Carey and TOOL. Although I do not do Danny complete justice, being able to move past mistakes is something I learned. While I wish I could go back to fix things, I also feel a sense of accomplishment being able to complete something that was once just an idea. Additionally, I want to note that only songs with percussive elements were included. Sweat and Disgustipated were not included for copyright reasons.

CHAIN is a visually stunning and emotionally rich 3D animated short film inspired by the Chinese proverb “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind” (螳螂捕蟬，黃雀在後) — a saying that describes someone pursuing a goal while unaware of hidden dangers or greater forces watching from behind.
Through powerful visuals and atmospheric storytelling, the film explores this timeless idea, portraying the endless cycle of predator and prey, revealing nature’s survival instincts, and encouraging viewers to reflect on life’s deeper questions.

Bei Dawn Chorus sammeln sie ziemlich umfangreich Aufnahmen von Vogelgesängen aus der ganzen Welt. Ich habe mich gerade mal eben durch die Vogelstimmen der Nachbarschaft geklickt und ja, kommen mir ziemlich bekannt vor.

David Charney hat mit „Alphabet Moon“ eine Website erstellt, auf der man jedes beliebige Wort eingeben können, das dann anhand einer Reihe von Fotos von Mondmerkmalen in der Form des jeweiligen Buchstabens darstellt. Außerdem werden die Details hinter jedem Mondmerkmal erläutert und der Standort dargestellt. Leider läuft die Seite aktuell nicht sonderlich stabil, so dass ich diverse Male aktualisieren musste.

Hochräder sind offenbar immer noch ein Ding. Zumindest für jene, die an den britischen Hochradmeisterschaften teilgenommen haben. Und das sieht dann so aus.
Einen Kommentar hinterlassenMake no mistake, this is not a pastime for the timid. A penny farthing stands a good two and a half metres high, which is uncomfortably close to the altitude at which one requires oxygen. Steering the thing is like trying to turn a wardrobe with handlebars, and falling off, which happens frequently, is about as much fun as being thrown from a small horse onto gravel. The machines have no gears, so riders must heave themselves up hills and then hurl themselves down the other side with all the control of a runaway wardrobe.
And yet, there is a peculiar joy in it all. For these enthusiasts, perched aloft like Victorian gentlemen about to cycle into a Punch cartoon, the thrill outweighs the bruises. Against all logic, they are keeping alive one of the most impractical yet oddly wonderful inventions Britain ever produced.
