Week 28 - Sarah Palin, hockey mom and pitbull
Hi everybody. I just came back from a quick visit to Seattle and the Bumbershoot Festival. It was really nice and what FANTASTIC people there!! I had a really good time chatting to people at the festival. Sometimes we europeans think that we are all alone - we certainly have some good pals over there! Cheers! Well, apart from the festival and visiting historic landmarks as the house where Kurt Cobain shot himself one major thing had an impact on me. Well two actually - counting Obamas... Read Full Story
Week 27 - Usain Bolt at the Olympics
Usain Bolt Olympics Beijing 2008 world record 100m and 200m
HI! Well as most of you possibly noticed, last week’s song did not arrive on time. Let’s just say, that I had alot of technical difficulties… Anyway here it is. The track was inspired by the übercool Nurse Dee, who introduced me to the verb ‘cutting’ - in the sense of someting having an edge. I promised to make the term the prime subject of the following song, and here I deliver. Having in mind the mild controversy following olympic champion Usain Bolt and his choice of NOT congratulating... Read Full Story
Week 26 - The Opening of the Olympic Games 2008
Olympics Beijing 2008 Fireworks
Good Evening! Did you watch the grand opening of the Olympic Games in Beijing a few days ago? Wheeeeew! What a masterpiece conglomerate of fascinating culture and cheesy artwork. And the chinese government even controlled the weather - on top of everything else in China. - But I must admit, I love the exstremely tight coordinated events of the opening. The happenings with hundreds of people doing the same. Wow. This week’s song is about just that. It’s about being an individual in a... Read Full Story

Download Hi. This is one weekly gun. As you know I’m on vacation in Asia right now, and therefore unable to write, produce and publish a new song in under three hours this week.

Week 23 - John Linnell
John Linnel and John Flansburg of They Might Be Giants
HI! This week is a salute to the birthday boy of them all John Linnell. John Linnell is one of my heroes. Together with John Flasnburg he forms the duo They Might Be Giants. Their music is genuine nerdy pop-rock that keeps surprising me in terms of intelligence and humour. I suggest you go buy the whole back catalogue straight away or start with records like Flood, The Else or the compilation Dial a Song. One Weekly Gun owes these guys big time. This week is a tribute to John Linnell - the... Read Full Story

It’s about life and death - and how you should enjoy the first before the latter comes. Let’s all just be nice to each other now. Why can’t US have two presidents? Why can’t we all just get along? Life is Great On the pillar rising from the floor of the room sits a bird singing that our time came too soon. Golden... Read Full Story
