Not About You

Today, I’ve pulled out my old four-track machine and recorded the a little cover tune. It was written by Jonathan Coulton. I suggest you listen to his version, which is much better than mine. My recording of the song is, just like the original one, licensed Creative Commons by-nc.

I haven’t thought of you in fifteen days and today I still won’t think of you
And when I call you up and you’re not well I might not even care
Every day gets better than the one before
Cause every day I know that I’m fine without you
But I don’t think about it
This one is not about you
You can put that in your pipe and smoke it
This one is not about you
Baby, you can take that to the bank
And shove it up your big fat ass

Every time I ride past your house I forget it’s you who’s living there
Anyway I never see your face cause your window’s up too high
And I saw you shopping at the grocery store
But I was far too busy with my cart to notice
You weren’t looking at me
This one is not about you
You can put that in your pipe and smoke it
This one is not about you
Baby, you can take that to the bank
And shove it up your big fat ass

I saw that movie where the guy gets dumped when the girl goes off to find herself
But I think I may have missed the end – there was something in my eye
But it doesn’t matter how it all turns out
Cause I know that guy’ll be fine without you
You shouldn’t worry cause
This one is not about you
You can put that in your pipe and smoke it
This one is not about you
Baby, you can take that to the bank
And shove it up your big fat ass

Studiotagebuch (Teil 4)

Fast genau ein Jahr nach der ersten Session wurden heute die vorerst letzten Spuren aufgenommen. Außerdem machten wir einige Fotos. Entsprechend wird es in absehbarer Zeit akustisches und optisches Material geben. Überraschung des Tages für mich: Sebastian hat ein Lied über einen Film mit Lena Headey geschrieben!

Coming attractions

The music section has been revised. I hate to say it’s under construction, but that’s the way it is. My plan is to add various songs through the course of 2008. In the end, there will be all 14 songs which together constitute my “new” solo album. It’s basically going to be a collection of stuff I’ve recorded over the years spiced with a few new numbers in between. I will post lyrics and other related stuff, eventually. If someone wants the files in flac format, make yourself heard (i.e., post a comment). Maybe I can arrange it.

That’s it for now. Check back in a couple of weeks for new additions and further madness.

Not Making Movies

Several months ago I had announced I’d make a movie. I’m sorry to report that this particular movie did not work out due to time constraints. We didn’t even get to the actual shooting of it, so no harm done, no money lost, and hopefully no hard feelings from anybody involved.

You can read/download the screen play for the short movie. It is identical with the final draft of 16th March 2007, except for the title (which is now B.P.P., that is the abbreviation of the working title) and the name of the male lead (now Karsten; I was never happy with the original name). NB: The B.P.P. screen play by Johannes Schult is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 2.0 Germany License. So feel free to film the movie yourself!

My (non-existant) career as a film maker is currently on hold. I recently finished writing another screen play, though. But that’s based on material I don’t own the rights of. I only wrote it for my personal fun and to get some more practice.
