What could be better than mid-day research on a newly discovered band? It all started with Amerika. The video itself is worth watching, even if you don’t understand the lyrics.

Memorable quotes from my Rammstein research:

Amerika: A German song, partly in English, about how America reigns over world culture and politics—for good or bad.

Jam Showbiz described (Rammstein’s) ‘Mutter’ as “music to invade Poland to.”

If we choose or reject music, cinema or any art form only for political reasons, then we are missing the point of art.

You know things are bad when the modem won’t connect to the Internet for half an hour and the providers phone line is busy. Yes, actually busy! Feels like someone cut the oxygen supply into my office; And without the Internet I’m about as useful as someone who’s been without oxygen for a good 10 to 15 minutes.

I’m not the one to call a service provider first. I know these things tend to play out for themselves without having to sit on hold. It’s just that I was on such a nice run catching up to my work load and bills, it sucks having it all dry up while I sit here and wait for some much needed Internet access. Fiddlesticks.
