This Is Not This Is Not Miami.

You've of course heard "This Is Not Miami" by Sander Kleinenberg.

Well, I like this one better.

Samael, "On Earth"

Before we could talk we were singing
Before we could run we were dancing
Life is short but not a day is lost
The world goes round and round
And we go on and on

Beijing to Amsterdam
Berlin to Buenos Aires
Sydney to L.A.
Rio to Abidjan
Stockholm to Athena
Dublin to Guatemala
London to Brasilia
Madrid to Philadelphia

Paris to San Fransisco
Detroit to Warszawa
Moscow to Mexico
Oslo to New Delhi
Helsinki to New Orleans
Vienna to Ankara
Roma to Lisboa
On earth, we're all...

Dancing with a hidden tribe
Learning to move and fly
Touching the sky with our hands
Longing to love to understand
Dancing with a hidden tribe
Learning to move and fly
Touching the sky with our hands
Longing to love to understand

New York to Tokyo
Melbourne to Budapest
Prague to Jaipur
Shanghai to Montreal
Vancouver to Singapore
Sofia to Johannesburg
Hong Kong to St. Petersburg
On earth, we're all...

Dancing with a hidden tribe
Learning to move and fly
Touching the sky with our hands
Longing to love to understand
Dancing with a hidden tribe
Learning to move and fly
Touching the sky with our hands
Longing to love to understand

YOU NEED THIS.

Bauhaus are widely considered the "grandfathers of goth" - post punk with a really dark side and lots of bat imagery. Pictured above is lead singer Peter Murphy, who is a textbook example of a rocker who is still sexy when he's old.

Here's their 1979-1983 singles collection. Thank me later. Volume 1 is more punk and Volume 2 is more wave-y.

音楽について

Peter Fox - Stadtaffe

He sounds far less pasty than he looks. Have a listen, please! "Schwarz zu Blau" represented the state of Berlin in the Bundesvision Song Contest this year and like, won by a landslide.

Moved most of my music from my external hard drive to my laptop tonight. I won't ever get enough sleep, and that's okay. At least tonight I'm not reading tongue twisters aloud to myself at 4 a.m.
