Saturday morning cartoons & kung fu

Hiya, Saturday morning it sure is and I'm right here parked in front of my laptop, waiting at the breakfast table for our guests to rise and shine. Nice - haven't done that in a long time. C's out scrapbooking all day today, leaving me to a)my own devices and b)the entertainment of some good friends of ours who're staying the weekend. I like having guests who are happy to have a lie-in at your house - to me, that kind of says they're comfortable hanging at your pad and comfortable with you as hosts. So anyway, coffee's ready, table's laid and I've just spent about an hour checking out Rosenstolz, or rather, their newest release (an audio CD with the thoughtful addition of a video DVD). I'm not usually a big fan of German music, and didn't think much of this particular band's previous efforts. This one, though, "Rosenstolz+Das Grosse Leben", I'm rather more impressed with than I actually care to admit. Is it embarrassing if you can pinpoint precisely what it is that attracts you to other people's music? Obviously not if you're asking the Music Genome Project, who run the fabulous Pandora thingy. Let me recommend this to you again, especially if you're at a loss about finding new music you like. Having a flat-rate is a bit of a prerequisite (which is why I'm in denial at the moment - not for much longer, though) to make serious use of it, but even for occasional listening/music finding pleasure, its a neat device. Okay, brekkie time (friends have awoken) - seeeya!
