Posted in Internet, Jutze 52 | Tuesday, July 29th, 2014 | Comments Off on Envisioning My Crowdfunding Campaign
If I were to run a crowd funding campaign for one of my musical endeavours, here are some likely perks (gosh, I hate this word):
Music as download (5$?)
Music as download and on CD (15$?)
Music as download, bonus music as download (20$?)
Music as download and on CD, bonus music as download (30$?)
Music as download and on CD, bonus music as download, Manticess – God Save the Writer CD (from 2010), Jutze – Vivien CD (from 1999) (50$?)
Music as download and on CD, bonus music as download, original hand-written lyrics to a Jutze of your choice (subject to availability; these are the lyrics written during the song writing process, each sheet is unique; some songs had no written lyrics, some were lost) (50$?)
Music as download and on CD, bonus music as download, plus I write and record a 52-second song about a topic of your choice (restrictions apply) (60$?)
Depending on the production, I might also add some sort making of footage, maybe for free, maybe via link in the CD, maybe a separate DVD (including some live songs?)

“Unquestionably the funniest song you will ever hear about THE FAULT IN OUR STARS.” –John Green
This ain’t a book about a ballet dancer
No, it’s a book about a book about cancer
But there is something that is more important
This book mentions Natalie Portman
In 3 out of 25 chapters – I think she’s pretty scarce
That’s the fault in “The Fault in Our Stars”
Yeah that’s the fault in “The Fault in Our Stars”
If you do the math then you will see
22 chapters without Natalie
The ones that mention her are way too short, man!
John Green should have added way more Portman
It wouldn’t have been as difficult as landing a rover on Mars
That’s the fault in “The Fault in Our Stars”
Yeah that’s the fault in “The Fault in Our Stars”

Gestern Abend fand im Kulturladen Konstanz einmal mehr die Kulturnacht des KUK statt. Los ging es mit einer beeindruckend flüssigen Tanznummer. Im weiteren Verlauf gab es allerlei coole Auftritte, von Leuchtschwebestabfaszination über tendenziell skurille Texte von Matze B. bis hin zu einem mehr als kurzweiligen Kurzfilm. Es gab auch allerlei Musik, u.a. etwas Herr-der-Ringe-Filmmusik und zum Schluss das unterhaltsame Akustik-Trio Redensart mit flotten Songs.
Zwischendurch war auch ich für ein paar Lieder auf der Bühne. Hier ist “Konrad”:

A few minutes ago, I put my final 52-second song for 2011 online. By now, I have made 104 52-second songs – 52 in 2010 and now 52 in 2011. Thanks to everyone who listened to my 52-second songs and said encouraging things and shared my little tunes with their friends and had fun along the way. I certainly enjoyed the ride! I’ll update my music page in the near future. Meanwhile, check out the last two songs – each in an extended video version:
“I Won’t Be Your Mary Magdalen” is a homage to Dar Williams and Richard Shindell, whose music I love love love! The lyrics became kind of meta – and I think they provide a nice closure for my 52-second song project. I’m looking forward to write longer songs in 2012, for a change. Actually, I might elaborate on this song fragment with my band Manticess.

Last Friday I played here in Konstanz at the Rheintorturm. Thomas and Suff-X played as well. It was a lot of fun. Here’s a first video from that evening, “Omas Weihnachtsessen” – a Paul and Storm cover.
Posted in Jutze 52 | Friday, November 11th, 2011 | Comments Off on Jutze im Vorprogramm von Phrasenmäher in Konstanz
Mein Auftritt im Vorprogramm von Phrasenmäher im Kulturladen hat Spaß gemacht! Meine Setlist sah ungefähr so aus:
Die wichtigen Fragen
Reis
Badreligion
Laundry Day
135 Zeichen
Lisa
Konrad
Der Speckgürtel von Paderborn
Fußball und Katze
A Mallful of Brains
Essen
Die Müllabfuhr der Seele
Einkaufszettel
I Wish Natalie Portman Was My Neighbour
Der Auftritt von Phrasenmäher war sehr kurzweilig. Ein, zwei Songs waren zu groovy und zu wenig rockig für meinen Geschmack – aber insgesamt klang das alles sehr ansprechend. Neben unterhaltsamen Liedern wie “Hochklappdings” und “Vater” gab es auch diverser improvisierte Einlagen, die für Kurzeweile (?) sorgten. Das Publikum, das bei mir noch überwiegend abwartend am Boden saß, war beeindruckend aktiv, springend, singend, divend und sogar joggend! Und nicht eine einzige Nase, die desinteressiert hinten stand. Schöner Konzertabend!

Heads up: I’ll be playing a solo gig here in Konstanz on December 16th, opening for Suff-X. I’m also hoping to line up one or two more shows. Meanwhile, here are the links to a bunch of my 52-second songs.
The most recent one is my attempt at a “Wedding March”, because a friend of mine, who likes ska, was getting married last weekend.

Today at 19.15 German time (13.15 EST) I’ll be broadcasting a short live show online. Join me at Ustream!
I made a Jutze 52 page to wrap up the past 52 weeks of short songs and deadline frenzy. To celebrate the successful completion I also uploaded another live video. Check out “Laundry Day” below.
PS (edited): I played a jolly gig in Konstanz on December 17th, last year (!). Maybe there will be video footage online at some point. For now, here’s the setlist (I’m a bit pedantic with this kind of things):
