Bid Farewell to Crap Music  Good morning! - I stopped listening to the radio the way I had been used to around 12 years ago because I found that it was gradually getting to me and aggravating me to the point where I would even throw occasional fits in my car or at home. Listening to music had finally started to seriously bother me. I am not talking about music in general, no I am referring to that kind of disharmonious three- to four- minute noise patches that had slowly but surely managed to infiltrate our music scene on a scarily large scale. Just listen consciously into the sort of musical harassment that is usually played throughout a 24- hour period on most public stations.
It truly makes my stomach flip and my hair stand up! You talk about harmonious, harmless even though at times quite trivia- natured lyrics that are vocally presented excellently. Well, I hate to bust your bubble, but this is history, I'm afraid. Today shows such as The Voice, The X- Factor, American Idol, and much more mislead mostly young and immature would- love- to- be- famous contestants by seriously making them believe that they are the real deal and that they can be turned into superstars overnight. For God's Sake, just read into some of the greatest musical icons' bios, and you will find that they all had one major thing in common. Not one of them was born or made a star just like that.
They all started at the bottom and worked their way up lavishly and zealously. By the time they stepped into the public lime- light for real, they had successfully acquired a set of tools necessary to stay at the peak for quite some time. Outstanding vocals, lots of charisma, extra- ordinary show presence, and a great deal of passion to share with their audiences was what a real superstar was made of back then. Nowadays it is often completely reversed. In fact, you need not have any of these qualities anymore but instead someone influential enough who believes in you to become their cash cow. The focus has clearly shifted from those good old values to aggressive, pointless and trashy lyrics, vulgar and sexual mannerism on stage such as grabbing one's crotch or exposing one's sparsely- clothed body like a pole dancer, zero showmanship qualities, partly annoyingly crappy voices, dull and tribal- like beats, and overall no- class stage outfits. Music styles have become popular which just depress the crap out of anyone with still some sense of melodiousness left.
Believe it or not, but just like with anything else in a world of polarities, there are also two sides to music, a light and a dark one. Hence due to the fact that music, universally speaking, connects the whole world on a conscious as well as subliminal level, beware of the powerful negative vibes that some genres and styles knowingly generate and convey! If you want to stay healthy in your body, mind and spirit, do yourself a favor and stay away from this garbage music, which no doubt is eventually taking over. Instead go and learn an instrument, and devote your love for music to creating positive music yourself.

Ridiculous!

Ridiculous!   - A belated Hello back to my blog! - I was writing this a few days ago as we were sitting on the plane to Chisasibi in the far north east of Quebec, Canada. We flew out of Montreal which is definitely not a small town airport. Anyways, what we went through was the epitome of aggravation. Having been to many airports already, I'm kind of used to the generally time- consuming ordeals starting with the self- check- in counters, security check points, passport controls, mile- long jogs to the gates, baggage claim, customs, etc. I really thought I'd seen it all - until last Monday morning. After surprisingly having been checked in by an actual person, we were finally headed towards Departures. I could not believe my eyes once we turned around the corner and spotted hundreds of passengers waiting in line. What the heck?! First, we were funneled in what seemed half a mile away from the actual security check point and then driven in long snake lines just like cattle. I g...
Buy small and local   Hi everybody! - Coming from a tiny country like Austria, one might assume that globalisation is just a phenomenon tailored for larger nations, but no, it has also been affecting us all across Europe. Globalisation itself is of complex nature, and even though I'm not planning to write about globalisation per se today, it somehow dictates our overall shopping behavior by bringing in more and more big box chain stores worldwide which sets the general trend for methodically and eventually putting local small family- run as well as individualists' shops out of business. In the 70ies I remember mom and dad taking us along to a wide range of stores from the baker to the butcher, the grocer's, the florist, the hard ware place, the electrician, the tobacco store, etc. What great memories our weekly trips to the market created for us. There we would hand- pick fresh fruit, produce, and other delicacies. Sometimes we would even get a piece of fruit or a carrot fo...
Money Destroys The World   - This morning's news segment about a supposedly renowned US dog breeder corporation having neglected thousands of dogs has once more proven that quality is sacrificed for the sake of quantity which is linked to the sad fact that everything revolves around money only.  In order to increase and multiply profits, more volume of less quality has become the clearly chosen option everywhere. No doubt, we are dealing with a huge problem on a global scale, but still I feel that this country doesn't even bother masking the issue at times. That's just not fair towards the people here! Lies and false promises are the epitome of hypocrisy, all for the sake of making more money. Absolutely sickening! Just imagine, you would like to purchase a dog from a good breeding stock, and you are willing to pay more, but what you get is often not what you've been promised, no even worse guaranteed. The worst thing though, the paper work assures you that things are o...
