Unfortunately, there wasn't much in the way of music, the excitement surrounding the European Championships was too immense. Now, of course, the question: What is the EM song? Is there only one? Does the BossHoss have anything to do with it?
Movie
Starting with Germany against Scotland (wonderful 5:1), via GODZILLA MINUS ONE, the absolute best, best, best Godzilla movie ever!!!! about Spain vs. Croatia (I didn't watch all the way to the end due to exhaustion) in which poor Croatia could have scored a goal just to avoid losing like that, about Italy:Albania (boring), a little bit of Sugar, then Denmark: Slovwenia and finally England:Serbia in a surprisingly cute, somehow sexy pub almost directly on Kotti. So really very little TV in comparison.
My parents would probably have said: you're already getting square eyes.
Book
After saying goodbye to Sally, the enthusiasm for The Colossus of New York is huge.

I must also express my displeasure about The Velvet Rage and Beauty - Andy Warhol exhibition. So unloving and not pop art at all and with so much potential. Sure, a penis is a penis is a penis, and one by Jean Micheal, but can't you deal with your sexuality a bit more profoundly? Like in the Netflix documentary, for example? DISAPPOINTING!
The little trip to Spandau to record their first songs with the Forgotten Female Composers was not disappointing. We love music studios, and that really hasn't changed.

Music
The week starts with Til and Moritz and while scrolling around I was shown Musik Ist Eine Waffe - the podcast about Ton Steine Scherben and listened to it. The subject matter is mega exciting, but I still haven't warmed to the host's voice and manner. And really felt like I've been listening to the Hamilton soundtrack for too long. Thahaa, still fun.
Movie
Romania:Ukraine was unfortunately not shown, but followed via audio stream. Too bad for Ukraine, but fucking Romania man! I was definitely disappointed by Belgium, even though they had the best kits so far, and France was a given, right?
Book
I apologize to God and all his followers, but this month is not going to be intellectual.

And suddenly you're sitting in a café writing your first opera - life is crazy.

Music
I can't say what it is, maybe it's because no one has shown me the EM songs and I'm eagerly awaiting the KIZ album, but it's VERY podcastish at the moment. Starts with Tom Segura, an average comedian, then the Blocks episodes with Pete Holmes (God, what a sweety) and Bill Burr (God, what a sweety) but it's not quite my format.
Movie
Tragically the Turkey game wasn't shown on the public channels, so back to audio stream with the luck of being able to watch the last 15 minutes in the pub next door. WHAT A GOAL, MAN! Go, Turkey, Go. The atmosphere at Czech Republic:Portugal was nice, but would have expected more from the Portuguese.
Book
Too overloaded.
Other Inspiration
Not inspired, but frustrated about the loss of the right earphone. Can't they have strong magnets that turn on as soon as they fall and then magically connect to the case? SOOO ANNOYING.

Music
Roasting is a very American thing, but I can understand a bit why people are enthusiastic about it. I've seen the first half of Roast Tom Brady, Kevin Heart is great, but no one tops Bert Kreischer.
And Jan and Oli started talking about blisters- Urgh, gross.
And actual music, how nice, songs like Xo and Angela in the good old indie playlist.
Movie
Very enjoyable second half Germany:Hungary with champagne on the house at the end and an even more enjoyable Scotland:Switzerland game with Columbians (?) who were very friendly with the Scots.
No Scotland no party!

Rule number 1 in Berlin - don't take a bus, just don't take a bus, walk, or have your mom pick you up.

HALLO DEICHKIND HAS A NEW SONG and tomorrow the KIZ album comes out.
Movie
Well, that really was a lucky strike, dear Danes. But it's nice that you're still here. Spain fought, fought, and well... Italy.

OMG. The European Championship makes you tired. Good night, you beautiful world.

Oh, wow. KIZ is not for early mornings, but curiosity makes it work! It starts off very personal, almost melancholic - but guys? Very nice.
And for reasons this...this thing from the distant past. The Magic Flute, hello hello.
And the Fete de la Musique will be followed by new things, I'm sure of it.
Movie
Go Niederlando, Go!

It's fulfilling when the things you work on are recognized. So the draft for one, and therefore the first participatory opera, is at a new stage and ready to be rehearsed.
