Back From Bristol

 

Last Thursday around midnight I returned from my trip to Bristol for BlogCon 25. While the start on Monday was more than bumpy after my flight was postponed to the next day because KLM booked another plane with a lower capacity, I had a wonderful time with great people. I really enjoyed hanging around with you for a couple of days, having great conversations and exploring Bristol with all of it's highlights and pubs. Thanks to all of you bloggers for welcome me with open arms. You are fantastic. And thanks C, Alyson & Roddy and John for the gifts. Finally some songs from our youth you might remember.

Off to Bristol

 

This early morning I am moving to #BlogCon25 a gathering of bloggers you might know well. For me it is another blind date of meeting mates I know from the blogosphere during the last years. I am sure we will have a great time in Bristol and for me it would be a highlight of the year. There will be no more posts until next weekend and here are some videos of artists from this place. Enjoy and have also a great time until next week.

Bristol

Over at the Austrian radio station FM4 the French producer and musician Marc Collin presented his latest project Bristol live. You might know him as the producer of Nouvelle Vague when he covered punk and New Wave songs into a Bossa Nova style. Now it seems he's on the way to give great songs of the TripHop era a new face. He picked out lot of my favorite songs and made a very own interpretation of them. It's not only covered - these versions show the great respect he has to this songs and he reduces them to their basics. Often with soft drums, a picking guitar that fades into psychedelia and an accentuated bass.

You can watch the limited live stream only for a few days here.
