I’ve been a fan of this band ever since they sent me their first song “Disco Biscuit Love” via email in 2007 – even though the quality was pretty bad, I loved the power and build-up in their songs – two qualities that come across even better on the new records. Can’t wait for their first album to be released. Pure talent.
One of their best songs “Little Piece” is used in Danny MacAskill’s amazing new biking video. Watch below, starting at minute 2,45. Skill meets skill.

Zwei Versionen eines tollen Songs.
Ich möchte mich nicht dem Valentinstags-Wahn anschließen. Trotzdem: Heute – für alle Liebenden da draußen – das schönste Liebeslied, das es meiner Meinung nach gibt. Und ein noch schöneres Video dazu.

THIS IS THE SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE IN 2010.
LISTEN CLOSELY.
THEN THINK ABOUT YOURS.
AND SHARE IT.
JANUARY 2010
… for the “Make Yourself Crew”: James Yuill – This Sweet Love
I shot a stop motion video with a bunch of lovely kids and this is the soundtrack to it. I kept listening to this song when we edited the film over and over and over again. It never grows old.
FEBURARY 2010
for Flo: The Soulsavers – Revival
Driving through the valleys of Salzburg in the early morning, the snowy mountain tops covered in red light from the beautiful sunrise. Goosebumps guaranteed!
MARCH 2010
for Doro and Fabian: Paul Kalkbrenner – Sky & Sand
Jumping over banisters to dive into the main crowd and dancing the night away.
APRIL 2010
for Jean-Claude: Bright Eyes – First Day of My Life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you.
MAY 2010
for MTS-40 Jon, Irena & Melanie: Bonobo – Stay the same
Me and my roommates would listen to this song over and over again in our living room. Good times!
JUNE 2010
for Marc: Laughing With – Regina Spektor
This song will always remind me of my drive from the Dead Sea to Amman airport, thinking about the two incredible weeks I had spent in Jordan and doing the entire journey again in my thoughts.
JULY 2010
for all of you who love summer: Noah & The Whale – Jocasta
In the beginning of every summer, I try to decide on my summer song. This year’s selection was Noah & the Whale and it definitely did its job – always put a smile on my face when I listened to it.
AUGUST 2010
for Amy & Pat: M83 – We Own the Sky
Meeting up with my two chingoos pretty much made my summer. It made clear to me – once again – that distance and time cannot destroy friendship. I can’t wait to see where our next trip will take us.
September 2010
for myself: James Blake – Limit To Your Love
This is my song. I love I love I love. This dream of going upstream. I love I love I love. The trouble that you give me. I know I know I know. That only I can save me.
OCTOBER 2010
for Berni: The National – Apartment Story
One of my best friends moved and left the city. This is for you, Berni. I miss our endless conversations and your (sometimes) inappropriate comments. You are missed.
NOVEMBER 2010
for my laptop: Shout out Louds – Please Please Please
This is for my laptop that I left behind on a public bus a couple of weeks ago. It hasn’t found its way back to me yet. But I am not giving up my hopes. That’s why I shout out loud: Won’t you please, please, please COME.BACK.TO.ME?
DECEMBER 2010
for everybody: The Daylights – I Hope This Gets To You
I hope this song gets to YOU too. If yes, pass it on and put a smile on somebody’s face. There is just not enough smiling going on in this world.
I hope for more smiling in 2011.
I hope for more good music in 2011.
I hope for many more memorable moments in 2011.

Epic song and video by M83. This is what God listens to when he wants to play with heaven. I feel privileged just listening to this music. It doesn’t get any better than this…
Each shade of blue
Is kept in our eyes
Keep blowing and lightning
Because we own the sky
Secrets from the winds
Burnt stars crying
Soft soft or cruel
Can’t we change our minds?
We kill what we build
Because we own the sky
Secrets from the winds
Burnt stars crying
So many moons here
Lost wings floating
It’s coming, it’s coming on!
It’s coming, it’s coming on!
What’s coming?
What’s coming now?
What’s coming?
What’s coming now?
It’s coming from the sky
It’s coming from the wind

Probably the best music video I have ever seen:

Introvertierte Extraversion. Musik, die so unter die Haut aber vor allem das Unterbewusstsein geht, dass man es kaum aushalten kann.

Es gibt Musik, von der man nie genug bekommen kann. Sie passt in jeden Situationen, ob gut oder schlecht, schmiegt sich fast unheimlich an deine derzeitige Gemütslage und bringt diese noch besser zur Geltung. Es gibt keine Band, die das besser beherrscht als The Postal Service. Ich weiß nicht, wie oft ich diese Platte schon gehört habe. Noch nicht oft genug, wie es scheint.

“While I’m off chasing my own dreams, sailing around the world,
Please know that I’m yours to keep, my beautiful girl.
And when you cry a piece of my heart dies, knowing that I may have been the cause,
If you were to leave, fulfill someone elses dreams, I think I might totally be lost.”

So is so emotionally powerful.
