About Me
Know Thyself and To Thineself Be True
LORD GORING. You see, Phipps, Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear.
PHIPPS. Yes, my lord.
LORD GORING. Just as vulgarity is simply the conduct of other people.
PHIPPS. Yes, my lord.
LORD GORING. And falsehoods the truths of other people.
PHIPPS. Yes, my lord.
LORD GORING. Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself.
PHIPPS. Yes, my lord.

Is English now the languaue of popular music? Whatever happened to "Morgen", "Seemann," and "Nel blu di pinto di blu"? Not to mention "99 Luftballons" !
I was not especially taken by this video. Lyrics: (sorry) negligible. Sting did it better 25 years ago with "Every Breath You Take."
Music: negligible. Repetitious, and not much worth repeating.
Video: pretentious, to the point of seeming to be a parody. (Or was it.) Best howler moment: thewedding ring close-up. Hah!
This guy Hippner is the lead singer for Wolfsheim and he sings half of his songs in German and others in English.
German does sound really nice and I luved 99 Luftbaloons in German more than in English.
And you got me on Sting. Hands down, yes, Every Breath You Take is a much better song and video. A classic.
Yeah, the wedding ring close up. I thought it was kinnda funny too.
Believe me. I know it's not the best song or video by far and yes very repetitious but I like the rhythm and I like melancholy sounding songs with danceable electronic rhythm and harmony. I like texture. Sad overcurrent with happy undercurrent. It's my favorite type of music.
