Hi,
last week I was at a “mobile disco” event, which was nice but let me end up in some kind of “hackspace” (*wink*). And I also had my first 3 hour radio show, that was filled with tons of regular categories. I can’t wait for my next music-centered show.
Well, and kind of all of that did not let me scrobble that much. Or in other news: I went back to some good ol’ classics.

Noteworthy:
> Hadouken! : I ended my last radio show with “Levitate”, and I would do it again. ;)
> Lauren Aquilina : So as far as I know she only has two EPs - no album yet. And I’ve listened to the “Sinners” EP, which is good.
> John Legend : His latest album “Love In The Future” has been on my list for months now. So I took a bit of my time to get to know the songs better. But so far only “Made To Love” stands out.
> Cut Copy : Ah, this is my feel good party band. And their tunes are a fine indie pop mix.
> Avril Lavigne : It’s been really a decade since she released her second album “Under My Skin” - and tbh her last proper record before she became a blonde party chick. Idk how her journey will continue. But I hope to get another one of those more ambitious albums.
> Craig Armstrong : yep, the “In Time” score again. I wish there was an extended version of the theme. :)
Stats!
Most played artists:
> Roxette : On Friday I was in the state of ambiguity about whether I might go out or not. So I decided to listen to this band. :P
> Thirteen Senses : It’s funny how your memory of an album changes with time. Because I often refer to the acoustic versions and ballads on “Crystal Sounds” I sort of forget about the more upbeat tracks. :D
> Garbage : I remember how strange it was to get to know their album “Bleed Like Me”, but I guess I grew on me. (At least some tracks did.)
Most played tracks:
> Run Baby Run : Yes, this one is a great and underrated Garbage track. If you don’t know it, check it out.
> Perfect World : I really like this song from Gossip’s second album “A Joyful Noise”.
> Starry Eyed (Russ Chimes Remix) : For some time I had Ellie Goulding’s “Run Into The Light” EP in my playlist, but these days I’m really digging this remix on it.
News?
> Jason Derulo featuring Snoop Dogg in a song called “Wiggle” - a video for this could be good or silly. Now decide :D
> Another strange collaboration happened with Within Temptation and Xzibit. “And We Run” comes off quite cheesy.
> “All I Ever Need” is the new video by Austin Mahone, in which he addresses his fans. Nice, right?
> In “One More Day (Stay With Me)” artist Example also created a story about… fans? ^^
> Sam Smith went for a brave surprise in his new video “Leave Your Lover”. I guess, there will be some ramifications about the end.
> Two new videos by Fall Out Boy continue their story/saga thingy. And one of them features Elton John - “Save Rock And Roll”.
> The Kaiser Chiefs’ new video “Meanwhile Up In Heaven” looks odd, but sounds catchy.
> The new La Roux video “Let Me Down Gently” is great - that’s all I can say. ;)
> I guess the new Kylie video “Crystallize” has some connection to a charity, because it ends with lots of donation thanks.
New in the German charts:
Traum : Oh, Cro is back. I haven’t heard the complete song yet, but I’m already wondering, if there is another catchy sample in it. ;)
Calm After The Storm : Oh, the country/folk/pop sensation from the Eurovision Song Contest. Could be worse, right?
Rise Like A Phoenix : This year’s Eurovision winner song. Why not?
Sing : I kind of saw this coming. I’m quite curious how Ed Sheeran’s new music will turn out. Based on this single their might be a slight step towards mainstream. :P
Au Revoir (feat. Sido) : Well, I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t hear Sido in this song. But anyway… the video by Kim Frank is great. And yes, the song has its qualities, too.
