Playlist #11: Winter Blues

““Have you got any soul?” a woman asks the next afternoon. That depends, I feel like saying; some days yes, some days no. A few days ago I was right out; now I’ve got loads, too much, more than I can handle. I wish I could spread it a bit more evenly, I want to […]

Playlist #9: Spring Fever in January

One of the best things about living in San Francisco? Coming back from freezing Europe in January and having emotional outbursts of Spring Fever in the middle of the winter. Well, you know, because of the climate… Makes total sense to me: Walking around with a slightly stupid grin on the face and listening to […]

Don’t Date a Girl Who Travels

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of […]

Playlist #7: Monday, go away

San Francisco, your fog annoys me. Especially on Monday mornings when I actually planned to rise and shine. Instead: Snooze, coffee and a warm sweater. One way to deal with it: Back to bed. A better one: Good music. 1.Ed Sheeran – Don’t 2. Left Boy – 10 A.M. 3. Kiesza – Hideaway 4. Cro […]

Playlist #4: “Morgen…”

Es gibt so manchmal diese Tage. Man hat einen riesigen Berg Arbeit vor sich, vergleichbar mit dem Mount Everest. Und man selbst ist gerade nicht mal im Basislager angekommen, da wird schon die Luft knapp. Wenn aber nur diese Arbeit wäre… Nein, da sind noch paar Dinge, die einem genauso die Luft abschnüren und man […]

Playlist #3: Songs für die Postalkoholische Depression

Du wachst auf. Leichter Alkoholgeschmack auf der Zunge, erinnert an den letzten Gin pur, den du letzte Nacht hattest. Wie kamst du eigentlich heim? Immerhin bist du in deinem Bett aufgewacht. Wie kleine Fetzen in deinem Kopf fügen sich die Erinnerungen langsam zusammen zu einer Handlung. Noch kurz in der verschwitzten Euphorie der letzten Nacht […]

Playlist #2: Hallaaaa!

Als ich mir letzten Samstag den Hintern vor der noblen Tür des P1 abfrierte, hatte ich endlich mal die Gelegenheit dazu, mit dem DJ zu quatschen. Er ist Hip Hop Hater und hatte dennoch ein RUN DMC Shirt an. Ich fragte ihn nach seiner musikalischen Verwirrung und er entgegnete mir nur lässig wie ein Cowboy […]
