“Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da” залит на iPod. Прослушан 2 раза. И сказать практически нечего. Как будто и не проходило этих 4 лет. Музыка ничем не отличается от той, что они писали и 10-15 лет назад. Та же тяжесть, тот же саунд, манера, структура, количество треков на альбоме. Ни хуже, ни лучше.

Тилль расширяет свои лингвистические просторы. В этот раз практикует исполнение на французском (Fruhling in Paris).  Flake любит модный ныне синти-поп. Если в песне “Haifisch” вокал Тилля выпилить и запилить вокал David Gahan’a, немного облегчить гитару, то получится Depeche Mode. За Рихардом опять замечен плагиат, ведь он главный гитараст в группе. В этот раз он, хотя бы, не занимался самокопированием, а тупо украл рифф у Limp Bizkit (Сравните Wiener Blut и Take a Look Around). Про Pussy говорить не хочется, и так уже написаны много тысяч слов. Это пожалуй лучший трек на диске, хоть с гениталиями на полэкрана, хоть  без них. А где  традиционный опус в духе Seemann или Ohne Dich? Если старички думали отмазаться Roter Sand, то, увы, не вышло. Послушаю я альбом еще не раз конечно, но он всё равно не цепляет, как ранние работы. Лучше бы они остановились на Reise, Reise.

Quando criei este blog, ao contrário do que diz a intro na coluna aí do lado (————————>) ele tinha sim um propósito: falar sobre coisas que eu via quando ando por aí e sobre conversas legais. Daí to Walk and Talk. Dãh!

Hoje, lendo o post do Favaro, lembrei disso. E lembrei de uma conversa que tive com o Duccigno. E lembrei que foi tão legal que tinha guardado. E lembrei que tinha guardado e nunca tinha postado. Então.. tchanã! Segue:

Água…  diz:

Edu diz:

mas nenhum filme legal em cartaz

Água…  diz:

olha.. esse é pra um nível avançado: ir sozinho e escolher o filme só na bilheteria.

Edu diz:

Sinopse: Casal que perdeu o filho recentemente adota uma menina de nove anos que se revelará muito menos inocente do que aparenta.
acho que quem escreveu essa sinopse tava com vontade de cagar
principalmente se vc ler rapido.. aumenta essa impressão

Água…  diz:

Edu diz:

É
dava pra resumir mais ainda
Casal perde o filho e pega uma mina zuada.

Água…  diz:

uahauhauhauhauhauhaua
ou então “casal só se fode.”

Edu diz:

Casal toma no cu o filme inteiro.

Água…  diz:

“casal #VDM”

The German village where we now live – Bruchmulbach – is surrounded on all sides by American military bases.  And we’re not talking quaint Alamo-throwback musket armories, either.  The bases around here are the real deal.

Ramstein – 10 minutes from us – is the largest Air Force base in Europe.  A totally self-sufficient fenced city, the installation comes complete with a 2-level mall, restaruants, sports bar with the requisite 38 flat panel high-def T.V.’s, 18-hole golf course, fast food, a police and fire force, grocery stores, gas stations, brand-new 10 million dollar pool facility (I’m lovin’that), preschool through high school and a wide array of corresponding sports teams, as well as a full-sized airfield with trans-continental military flights leaving and arriving daily.

Just up the road from us is Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, which is one of the largest military hospitals in the world and one of the largest hospitals in Europe, military or civilian.  As mentioned recently, I got lost in there and wondered if I would ever escape without the assistance of a space-time wormhole (I did, but it was close).

Oh, another thing your tax dollars fund is a complete bussing system to get all the civilian kids from their outlying German villages to the schools on the bases.  This made our initial choice to put all the kids in base schools a pretty easy one.  Teachers are shipped from the States all credentialed and up to the exacting standards of the U.S. Dept. of Education.  Schools have playgrounds and dry-erase boards and gyms and cafeterias.  The whole thing.

Little America.  Right here in the south of Germany.

But just the other day, I saw a patient who has lived in Germany for 40 years…and doesn’t speak anything but rudimentary German.  Clearly, you can live an entire life here and never really learn the local language, the customs or the culture.

The military, actually, is trying for this.  Most of their people have been moved here, will move again in 3 years, and so the more like America their lives are, the better it is for these families.  You even spend U.S. dollars on the bases, even though everyone for hundreds of miles in every direction uses Euros.

But for people like me, who came here volitionally and want to intersect with this new world, this re-creation of where I just came from, isn’t such a welcome thing.  Cindy Lauper had some chops 20 years ago, but do I really need to hear “Time After Time” as I drive across the pastoral German countryside on my way to work?

Since the bases here are such a huge part of the local economy-  wait, amend that: They ARE the economy here.  They’re it.  We’re talking millions of dollars every year from these military operations.  As a result, along with all the completely Americo-centric base workings, the local area totally caters to Americans too.  As soon as you say you want to speak English around here…they just switch over from their German to usually a very well-learned English.  Walking down the street in Portland, if some guy came up to ask you a question and said he only speaks German, could you switch over and cordially address his needs in his own language?

I couldn’t.  Not in ANY other language on planet earth.  MY ways are the ways of the world, right?  I should mention, in my defense, that for a few ultra-geeky years in Jr. High I might have had some hope using Klingon, but again, we’re talking about this planet.  And if I did meet a monolingual Klingon speaker in downtown Portland, we’d have much bigger problems than mere cultural ignorance.

Anyway, our big decision (among what seems like a gagillion of them lately) was to pull the kids out of their American schools…and HOMESCHOOL them.  That’s right.  We’re pullin’ em out.  They can learn the 3 R’s in the AM, and work on German during the afternoons.  I’m hoping to find some nice German grandma who misses her kids to come over 2-3 times a week for cheap to tutor them as well, and we just bought Rosetta Stone, homeschool edition (created for monolingual parents with visions of grandeur).

If I leave here bankrupt and sick with some strange German microbe that ate the flesh off my face and all tips of my body…but my kids learned fluent German, I’ll be perfectly happy with our time here.  I promise.  No complaining.

Don't worry about German, kids, just keep up with your AMERICAN

The military base schools have a German “appreciation” class, but they should be ashamed of it.  It makes no attempt to actually teach the German language.  It’s just meant to let kids know about life in Germany (makes sense, if you live in Thailand).  The first class consisted of some guy opening up his laptop and reading off Bill Gates quotes – in English – about following your dreams and not letting anyone tell you you’re a loser.  Frankly, if enough people tell you you’re a loser – in, say,  French, German, Farsi, Hindu, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese and Russian – at some point, we Americans might want to listen.

And, when approached critically, I have to say that much of American school is laughable.  So much time is spent lining up, obeying, filling out forms and being entertained…I’m not sure that kids learn much at all.  We’re certainly not keeping up internationally (AGAIN!  Health care, education…what ELSE can the rest of the developed world do better than us?).

Hey man, I'm an ARTIST, man!

In France, for example, every village kid is entitled to real, genuine, music training in their local villages.  As part of their taxes, every kid gets a solid hour a week of actual music theory.  I’m talking just the bookish part of music for an hour every week, no instruments.  The boring stuff.  The hard stuff.  The stuff nobody has to learn in the States unless they REALLY want to do it, go to college to learn it, and spend 2 years on lower-level classes before they’re allowed to jump into the real thing.  This is America!  Learning is FUN!

Back to France:  THEN, kids get an hour a week of training on an actual instrument.  This would be the fun part.  The payoff for muddling through a weekly hour of theory.  They learn with a private instructor, in small groups of 4 or 5.  THIS is the way to actually learn music.  For American taxes, kids get some goofy music appreciation class where 55 kids sit around listening to “Bridge Over Troubled Water” while making sure to keep their legs crossed.  In my 6th grade music class, I got to listen to a recording of Janis Joplin mumble in a drugged stupor on stage until she collapsed.

It’s true that our 4 kids could end up total imbeciles.  I don’t think the U.S. Education system is totally worthless, and there are some good things about the schools that we will lose.  We worry about that.  But I think, given the options, that our Rosetta Stone + Grandma approach holds out at least as much hope of truly teaching our kids another language and culture than what is offered on the military bases.  With good curriculum and focus, we should be able to get them up to speed on the academic topics too.  We aren’t the first one to plow this field.

Then again, we’ve been at it a week.  I’m still all filled with principle and certainty.  We’ll see where we are in a month.

18 сентября 2009 года состоялся релиз сингла “Pussy” небезызвестной немчуры Rammstein.

Начало осени и одна из самых крутейших команд делает такой подарок, после 4 лет молчания. Впрочем, для Rammstein это нормально. Исключением был только перерыв в 1 год между альбомами Reise, Reise и Rosenrot, 2004 и 2005 соответственно. Сингл включил в себя два трека: Pussy и Rammleid. Оба трека забористые, весёлые и всё в том же неизменном стиле. Последний факт слегка огорчает, ведь после стольких лет  хотелось услышать что-нибудь более интересное и оригинальное. Трек “Pussy” озадачил. Всем участникам группы уже далеко за 40, поэтому я ждал чего-нибудь более серьёзного и “эпического”, каких нибудь баллад что-ли. А они наоборот беснуются как подростки, помешанные на сексе и снимают клип, который никакая цензура ни в одной стране мира не пропустит на центральные каналы. Чтож, это может значить только возрастающую значимость интернета. Второй трек “Rammlied” – абсолютно раммштайновский, опять же ничего нового, ничем не запоминается и  не цепляет.

Релиз грядущего альбома под названием “Liebe ist fur alle da” состоится 16 октября. Жду с нетерпением, надеясь на то, что старички чем-нибудь удивят и порадуют.

It’s pretty!

We had a pretty good open house but the website being down has caused some confusion and I think stopped quite a few people from coming to the opening. So in an effort to pump up more people into coming and signing up I am offering more demos for the ABC Music and ME. We are now offering the classes in studio for 40 euro a month.

We are still offering all the other classes but I think the ABC Music and Me will help get the other classes filled because I will be doing a demo for those classes but also explaining the benefits of the other classes we have to offer. I belive wholeheartedly in this program so hopefully others will come to believe in it too!

Classes begin Sept 14th

We are now offering ABC Music and Me It a program for preschoolers. The program is set up to teach about music and different instruments to increase the love of reading and to promote confidence. We are offering the class M W F at 3:15 for 30 min and the cost is 40 euro a month.

Your raconteur is in the deep south of Holland visiting the nice folks at JFC Brunssum so that he can pick up a shiny new ID card so that he may travel back to CONUS.

I’ll be back in Amsterdam tonight, anticipating a departure for Ramstein AB sometime tomorrow.

More follows…

UPDATE: Today’s run was pleasant, but still resulted in total failure. My departure clock is on hold until I can procure an additional piece of ID… I have a cunning plan, we’ll soon see what it’ll take to pull it off!

Our time is for the age group 11/2 to 3 years old. This is the class after Village. So if your child started with us in village as a baby they would age up into this program. In this program we begn to address gathering together as a family and making music together. Children in this program have improved walking and motor skills a longer attention span and their vocab is being built everyday as they absorb everything they see and hear.

Parents enjoy learning about their child and with their child in this program. The major things Our Time promotes would be promoting music making at home, parent and child bonding, Helping the parents take the lead in playing dancing with their child and encouraging self-confidence and self -expression, social skills and cooperation all things needed to be successful in school.
The class is 45 mins long with one class a week for about 15b or 16 weeks depending on the unit being worked on. The max amount of students for this class would be 12.

Kindermusik Village is a program that helps to strengthen the bond between parents and child. This program is a very early introduction to music that has a calming effect on both parent and child. This is an awesome program not just for the child but also for the parent.

Parents are encouraged in these classes to interact with their child and to help introduce music to their child. This class is for newborns to -1 1/2 year olds. Village classes involve alot of movement for the parents and for the children. With the children able to explore the age appreciate instruments sensory development will be stimulated.

Village classes feature Gathering time, singing, movement , object play, literature, vocal play, quiet time and leaving time.

While you may not understand why these types of things would be used with children this young , it is very important because children learn by watching and listening and using all of their senses to explore. By watching us perform and sing and do the movements they are absorbing and storing information. When you are in class you may not notice what is going on but at home you may hear your child testing their voice or attempting to clap to music they hear or swaying with you in time to music.

Socializing even at this age can have fabulous benefits even at this age. By interacting with caregiver and the other people in the class the child is learning to be comfortable around people and in new places. Social interaction for the children will be the group dances and circle dances that take place during the classes

Here is a video showing what the class is about…

I hope this post has shed some light on this class. If you have some questions about this particular class let me know and I will answer them. The next class we will go over that I am going to be teaching will be Our Time.

I am very proud to say that we have been getting a very good response to the Kindermusik. We are working very hard to make sure that we are up and running. We will be having an open house on the 29 of Aug. We will be Open for classes on the 14th of Sept. The classes that will be offered are

Village, Our Time, Family Time, Imagine That and ABC Music and Me.

I am going to dedicate a page to each of the classes so that parents who have not enrolled their child in these programs have a feel of what class they want to enroll their child in. Village, Our Time and Family Time will be offered three days a week and Imagine That will be offered twice a week.  The classes are small with no more than 12 children usually in each of the classes. It is enough to help with socialization for both parent and child and small enough so that the children and parents are not overwhelmed with too many people in the classes.

My goal with all these classes are to bring child and parent (for the classes where the parents stay) closer together and to foster a positive learning environment for music. With so many school cutting art programs Kindermusik I believe is a step in helping children to experience the art of music.

Look out for the blog Village.

Eine Band die sich nach dem Ort Ramstein in Rheinland-Pfalz benannt hat, sich aber mit 2 M schreibt, baut gerade scheisse, mal wieder.

Wie hirnlos muss ein Manager sein, um Fanseiten platt zu machen? Oder Zeitungen abzumahnen, die über Fakten berichten, zB das ein Lied vor Veröffentlichung im Netz ist.
Einfach die Idee Menschen, die einen huldigen, die gratis Werbung für einen machen, mal richtig in den Allerwertesten zu f*cken wiederstrebt mir als denken Menschen doch sehr.

Hiermit bedauere ich Öffentlich, das ich mir Karten für die nächste Tour gekauft habe.

Das nächste Album werde ich mir nicht kaufen, allein aus Protest. Anhören werde ich es mir trotzdem!

So I started training as a kindermusik teacher and I am very excited. The more I learn about the classes and how they will be taught and run the more I feel like I am going to love doing this and that I will actually be very sad that I have to leave when it’s our time to PCS out of the country. Everything is coming together very nicely for getting everything off the ground. Our open house I am hoping will be very very full. My own children loved the program when I was giving it a test drive in the living room lol. So I am very confident that the program will go over very well with other children.

I love that I will be given a chance to interact with the kids at their level that I am doing something to make them want to learn because it’s not something they have to memorize and then get it right for a test it’s something fun that will enhance all of the different personality traits of the child. Helping children develop confidence in themselves is just a joy.

So now that I am done sounding all sappy I am going to finish practicing my classes and go to bed.
