hear the world: spain
agrar [in ear] coming up with fresh-pressed stuff, i told you. starting today: "hear the world". [] there was an agrar music compilation released in 2001, called "the great communicator" (anybody remembers?). time to confess: it dealt with the incapability of talking to girls. feeling like superman, but finally turning out to be a lil' boy in front of the opposite sex. thank god for the inv

all you have to do
sometimes saturdays are made for doing nothing. nothing than the things one love. wearing headphones, listening to new music, letting time take a rest. yesterday was saturday, and all my troubles seemed so far away. joshua radin, "we were here". all you have to do is cry.

shoutout to dummies
the blog's (new) sidebar applications are self-evident, i assume. anyway: agrar [in ear] for dummies ;) "for exsample" offers a weekly reloaded music player (currently french songwriter rose), "in ear / on air" lists current heavy rotators and "starting eleven" follows the development of a 2008 agrar music compilation, to be released end of the year. probably most interesting newcomer: "click of the week", every saturday freshly linking to some special place on the internet. today, trent raznor and his nine inch nails giving away a whole album for free: "ghosts I". [] enjoy, agrar

strom und drang? schall und rauch!
"sieh, wie die demokratie verwahrlost, zu wenig mickey mäuse, zu viele kater karlos. zahllose normalos, ein paar närrische herrscher, und immer wieder wählen wir die selben ärscher." back in the days: agrar, super sweet sixteen, laughing tears due to the lyrical brilliance
of fettes brot's album "außen tophits, innen geschmack". a sardine box of hiphop, packed with a unique mixture of serious thoughts, funny rhymes and solid rabauke beats. one of the best german rap releases ever. [] ten years later: agrar, super sweet twenty-six, highly disappointed of "strom und drang". one can't force good music, i guess, it just happens. not this time... basically there is only the single flashing me, namely "bettina (zieh dir bitte etwas an)". its crazy electronic beats (by modeselektor) are fun, without any doubt. the remaining ten songs lose themselves in a try of producing something new and exciting. back to basics, boys!

01 paul dimmer band ich hol dich da raus
02 cadence weapon sharks
03 maxeen please
04 sondre lerche track you down
05 mitch hedberg this cd is in stores
06 cobra starship the church of hot addiction
07 quartetto cetra un bacio a mezzanotte
08 angels & airwaves secret crowds
09 niels frevert waschmaschine
10 gods of blitz now
11 galactic i got it (what you need?)
agrar goes hiphop? nicht unbedingt, obwohl ich dieses monat mit cadence weapon, lupe fiasco, galactic, dälek und fettes brot ungewöhnlich viele beats um die ohren hatte. ebenso erfreulich die schwer gelungene neue platte von niels frevert. in der ruhe liegt die kraft. nichtsdestotrotz kommt mein persönliches märz-highlight aus schweden (oder berlin, ansichtssache) und hört auf den namen "now". grandioses album ("reporting a mirage"), aus dem mit "new wave wipe-out" ein weiterer track starting eleven-verdächtig war.

weekend present
one of my favourites: denison witmer, american songwriter, frequently keeping front positions on my ipod. two years ago, he turned thirty. "vielleicht ist jemand gestorben, vielleicht ist er 30 geworden!" the guys from kettcar would say (new album "sylt" to be released next month by the way), "it's my party, i can sing if i want to" claimed denison and gave away 34 (!!!) of his best songs. still for free download at: happy birthday, denison!

systems off
"ich wäre längst wohlhabend, wenn es pfand gäbe auf leere versprechungen" sang niels frevert auf seinem letzten album. sieben lange jahre sind seit zeilen wie diesen in sein und mein land gezogen. glücklicherweise besitzt warten die eigenschaft, dass man irgendwann damit aufhört. [] "alles helle ist stumm und hört den schritten zu, im treppenhaus auf linoleum." so beginnt "du kannst mich an der ecke rauslassen". und hat mich nach 19 sekunden. systeme aus, den sinnesradar auf die zwischenzeilen ausgerichtet: "autos rauschen, blätter wehen, man weiß nicht von woher. tage vergehen, irgendwohin, in meiner waschmaschine wär noch platz gewesen." hören.
