Johannes Schult

Jipie! Eben habe ich dem Nachbarsjungen etwas von Chomskys Universalgrammatik erzählt, woraufhin er meinte, er würde später mal nicht studieren wollen. Ihr merkt es schon, ich momentan ziemlich durch.

A while ago I made a sensational discovery I’m now going to share with you: There is a Johannes-Schult-Weg somewhere in Hamburg! I’m famous!

There’s nothing to report. So enjoy yourself, get some coffee, relax, get some more coffee, stay at home and watch the rain from your window, have another cup of coffee, think for a while about having a little nap, then dismiss this idea and drink a cup of coffee instead, then watch some quiet, slow movie like Matrix and then go to bed and think how beautiful sleep can be.

First of all let me say that I arrived safely here in Constance. I spend the last ten days furnishing my new room, playing a gig with From Thy Ashes in Sulzheim (in the middle of nowhere) and meeting my fellow students on a three day excursion to the Black Forest.

The From Thy Ashes-concert was really funny, although the audience was somewhere in between lethargic and apparently dead. We played lots of new songs from the upcoming Amberland-album and they worked pretty good, even though we left out a complete chorus during “A Million Eyes” due to Daniel’s failing memory. For those who care, here are the songs we played:

1. Placebo
2. Harbinger
3. Amberland
4. Back in the Womb
5. Locust Swarm
6. Synchronicle
7. Second Sight
8. The Cocoon People
9. Dancing Green Lizards
10. The Mask You Wear
11. A Million Eyes
12. Eye-Con

The three days with about 80 aspiring psychologists was fun, too. It was neither boring nor chaotic. There were even some people who liked Roxette and one guy who had heard of From Thy Ashes before. And there was Nils who is the first person I know who upset sheep. You see, some folks were pretty crazy, but hey, we’re studying psychology!

Today I returned from my trip to New York. I went there to see the play “The Seagull” at the Delacorte Theater starring Kevin Kline, Meryl Streep, Christopher Walken (great), Philip Seymour Hoffman (fantastic!), John Goodman, Marcia Gay Harden and Natalie Portman. Okay?

Ihr kennt doch alle das Gefühl. Der Tag war schön, das Wetter mies, beim Einkaufen an der längsten Schlange angestellt, einen guten Freund besucht und über Studium und Star Wars philosophiert, ein paar Verben konjugiert, ein bißchen Schlagzeug gespielt, kurzum: Alles ist semi-ok. Doch dann, schon kurz davor es sein zu lassen, da eh nur alle paar Monate ein Update drauf ist, betrete ich http://www.exergy-music.se. Dort gab es heute das Video zu dem Song “Scared” auch für alle nicht-Skandinavier zu sehen. Genial! Wahoo!

Objektiv gesprochen: Es ist sehr dezent in schwarz und hellen Grau gehalten, der Song ist großartig und für alle, die es (noch) nicht wissen: Reminder spielen Rock/Pop mit einem melancholischen Einschlag.

Setzt euch nicht besoffen ans Steuer. Seid nett zueinander!
