The Earworm Eraser is a 40-second audio track designed specifically to squash earworms — a song on repeat circling around and around in your brain that can't easily be shaken off.

No festival this weekend. Did some hiking with friends instead.

Last weekend I attended the Subset Festival. It was the first edition of a new drum and bass focused festival.
There were some great artists there, most of them I knew before and was very much looking forward to see them live.

My favorite one was (unsurprisingly?) Andromedik, but also liked Hybrid Minds, Netsky and Andy C.
Very cool was that the festival was rather small, so felt quite intimate and super close to the artists.

Could post the same music video as two weeks ago (Andromedik's remix of The Feeling, which he said is a song very close to his heart), but you should also discover some other tracks.
Thus here we go with the recently released Paradise 🥳

Andromedik - Paradise (ft. Luka)

I'm continueing my festival summer also this weekend. Yesterday I've attended the Simmentaler Bier Festival, which celebrates the 10 year anniversary of the Simmentaler Bier brewery.

The festivities included some fine music from far away and not so far away.
Rooftop Sailors opened the afternoon with their refreshing rock music.
Then came my favorite, Open Season, which was a nostalgy throwback as I was attending their concerts already 22 years ago ❤️
Last band of the day was Delinquent Habits, which brought their habit from LA to serve the public Tequila shots during the concert.

Open Season - Rocksteady

One of my favorite moments from the second weekend of ZÜRICH OPENAIR 2024: the concert of Lost Frequencies, especially the drum&bass live performance of The Feeling 🥳

Lost Frequencies - The Feeling (Lost Frequencies & Andromedik Deluxe Mix)

Catchy memory from the first weekend of ZÜRICH OPENAIR 2024: Armin van Buuren's version of Artemas - I Like the Way You Kiss Me, which is very similar to the Bassjackers Remix 🔊

Artemas - I Like the Way You Kiss Me (Bassjackers Remix)

Amazing discovery from the recent Paléo Festival: Lucie Antunes

Lucie Antunes - Carnaval

Hilltop Hoods - Laced Up

Some vibes from Australia ❤

Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock & 1991

Some very fine Drum and bass. Recently got to experience two of them live (Sub Focus & 1991), and have plans to see Dimension next :-)

Especially like the little The Prodigy mixin starting at 1:04:30 🥳

Here's a bit older mashup. Happy Australia Day!

Another nice discovery from Metropop: WOODKID

Major Look - Too Late

One advantage of being in Australia during the swiss winter is that you can go to music festivals in January! And so I did :-)

Last thursday I went to the Big Day Out festival in Sydney.
What is interesting compared to festivals in Europe is that in Australia the festival starts at 11 in the morning and ends at 11:45 in the evening, whereas in Switzerland festivals start around 5 in the afternoon and end around 5-6 in the morning.

I really liked the performances of Parkway Drive, Miss Kittin, Röyksopp, Bassnectar, Kasabian, Soundgarden and Regurgitator.
Also it was nice to catch a glimpse of The Jezabels, Hilltop Hoods, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis and the show of Kayne West.
A bit disapointing was the performance of Cavalera Conspiracy. They even had to fallback to popular Sepultura songs (Refuse/Resist, Roots Bloody Roots) in order to get the crowd moving. On the other hand it was lucky for me, so I got to see a live concert of Sepultura (performed by the founders of Sepultura!), something I didn't think I would ever see after Max Cavalera had left the band.
Unfortunately the last train back was before the end of the festival and so I did miss Nero.

Listening to Keren Ann is just perfect when you have to work on a rainy Sunday.
Thank you Metropop for showing me her music.

Keren Ann - My name is trouble

Tagada Jones — Une fois de plus (Industrial Version)

Die Toten Hosen — Strom

Die Toten Hosen - Strom

Qu'en est-il de Noir Désir?

On s'est remis au boulot. On projette d'enregistrer un album durant l'hiver prochain… C'est court, mais on a besoin d'une échéance pour se structurer.

Jamendo playlist

Je me rapelle ces cellules vides
Tout petits bouts de vie sordides
Je passe ma journée à attendre
Que quelqu'un tente de la comprendre
Il vaut mieux apprendre à mentir
Se supporter tant mal que pire
Mieux vaut apprendre à oublier
Que tous les jours faut se lever
Trouver la force d'y croire encore
Quand tout notre corps hurle "assez"
Sourire à des gens inconnus
Quand ceux qu'on aime ne sourient plus
Dans la galerie de nos amours perdues
Se souvenir que l'on n'est rien
Qu'un paranthèse dans le destin
Sous-particule du genre humain
Et ces journées sont toutes les mêmes
Avec nos peurs et nos "je t'aime"
Avec cette solitude amère
On vit – on meurt et on espère
Une dernière lettre abandonée
Du rouge à lèvres sur un café
N'importe quoi pour oublier
Que tous les jours faut se lever…

(Glardon/Melatonin)

Cette chanson décrit pas mal les trois semaines que je viens de passer à l'armée

Und wieder eine Ausgabe der freitäglichen fünf, diesmal zum Thema Musik und Internet.

1. Nutzt du kostenpflichtige Angebote zum Musikdownload? Wenn ja, welche und wenn nicht, warum nicht? Nutzt du kostenfreie (legale) Angebote?

   Nein, ich nutze weder einen kostenplichtigen noch einen kostenlosen Musikdownload-Service. Meistens kaufe ich CDs direkt an einem Konzert oder ich bestelle sie bei cede.ch.

2. Spielst du ein Instrument?

   Aktuell nicht mehr, aber früher habe ich Schlagzeug gespielt.

3. Wie hat sich dein Musikgeschmack entwickelt? Haben Musikangebote aus dem Internet evtl. Einfluß auf diese Entwicklung?

   Bedingt durch mein Studium in Lausanne, hat mein Musikgeschmack in letzter Zeit etwas einen französischen Touch erhalten.
   Musikangebote aus dem Internet haben keinen Einfluss auf diese Entwicklung, hingegen die Konzerte im Satellite schon eher :-)

4. Bist Du mit der derzeitigen Gesetzgebung zum Thema Privatkopien vertraut?

   Ja.

5. Deine Platten-, CD- oder MP3-Sammlung ist dein Schatz? Gibt es besondere Schmuckstücke?

   Ein Schatz nicht direkt, aber ich verleihe meine CDs nicht gerne.
   Eigentliche Schmuckstücke oder richtige Raritäten besitze ich nicht, aber diverse CDs sind signiert und mit einer Widmung versehen.

Before we could talk
We were singing
Before we could run
We were dancing

The world goes round and round
And we go on and on…

"Get away from me!
Take heed to thyself and see my face no more!
for in the day Thou see my face
Thou shalt die!"
– Exodus 10:28

A constellation of divine architecture built on Earth
A holy harbour – Orion
Nautical ascension to the firmament

Ship-shaped barrows open my heart to the wisdom of this land
Sailing with the Serpent Chimera of a fiendish sandman

The Unicorn arrives with the westwind to dream His funeral
"Thou art born for Horus dwells in Thee"

Slumbering with the ebb and the flow of this foaming tomb
"Thou art born for Seteh dwells in Thee"

Reveal your face to me and guide me through the Stygian fields
Enthral my soul to Sepedet’s beams to serve Your will

Sailing on the distant seas from darkness to deliverance
Tales like the ocean written to the Draco’s glance

Ruling with the scythe of death you tear our philosophies apart
An ancient starwalk to merge into the stars

"Open thy veins for my venom
Kiss the cobras with thy twisted tongue
So shalt thou join the empyrean circus
Where beggars mourn and seraphs dance
In this twilight cathedral
Shall I wed thee,
O Bride of the Netherworld"

Sailing on the distant seas...

Join my soul the Hunter in the sky

Le vendredi j'étais au Balélec et c'était vachement cool. 30 groupes sur 7 scènes pour 20 Francs, cela on ne trouve pas ailleurs.

On se voit l'année prochaine, au 25-ième Balélec!

Là il y a 2170 boutons, mais aucun du Satellite. Donc j'ai crée moi-même un bouton pour le Satellite.

La semaine dernière j'ai passé presque tous les jours, soirs et nuits au Satellite . Il y avait la fête de 20 ans de Satellite. Et puis le weekend il y avait des concerts vachement génials.
