If you're following me on Twitter, you already know that the "Spring Heeled Jack" DVD is finally done and can be ordered on the website (10€ + 1,50€ for shipping).
Right now, I'm wiating for them to send me details about where to send the payment, and then it's hoping German mail will do their job properly for once :P

Here's the trailer!
Like the whole show, it has LOTS and LOTS of Kai (did I mention LOTS of Kai?) XD

Moshimo ima kono shunkan TEREPOOTO ga dekiru no naraba
Ginga no kioku wo kimi to tabi shitai yo

Shooting star & Crescent moon shizukana kono umi wo koe you
Seimei no kigen kara kono deai wa kimatte itanda

Just started listening to the new Stratovarius album "Polaris".
Wow, I actually recognize the band again! For their self-titled 2005 album, they had changed into something weird I didn't feel comfortable with at all.
If you ask me, leaving was the best thing Tolkki could have done for Koti and the others. Now, they can be themselves and once again create wonderful Power Metal ^_^
So far, the new CD sounds really good. It's certainly much more like "classic" Strato, with lots of giutar/key solos and Timo singing the way he's supposed to sing.
Awesome. Missed you, guys <3 One day, I'll SO catch a gig of yours, also to check out how short your vocalist REALLY is *lol*

ETA:



:D :D

"Jumon kourin ~Magical force~" is one of the catchiest songs I've heard recently.



(Lyrics!)

Magiranger is special, even among other Sentai series. Everything about it is just perfect. I doubt any of the other shows will steal its top place in my fave list. Never <3

Okay, that's the final proof.
I must have "slasher" written on my forehead.
Why?
Well, guess who just sent me this link?
*lol*

After the report, it's my turn. Here we go, have some goodies!

( Seven pics. most of them rather bad )

I even managed to record a little video. Here it is!



Second half of "Heavy Metal Universe", including the sing-along part and Kai jumping off the drum kit platform. Sorry, I know, the sound is really bad, but my little N73 couldn't handle the volume. But I like the picture, considering it's just a cellphone.

Also, some not-quite-so-good DVD news:

Last weekend Kai and Dirk had a meeting during a concert day with SPV Records and agreed that the DVD will finally released in autumn this year.

Today the show in Barcelona will be filmed and the DVD will now be released as a triple DVD set. The content of the first two discs is already fixed since several months (Montreal Show plus bonus footage like road movie, acoustic tracks and video clips etc.). The third disc will contain many songs from the Barcelona show and probably some more bonus backstage footage from the actual tour. It will depend on the quality of the material which will be filmed today if the show will be completely released on DVD or only a part of it.

More official information will be announced soon in our news.

Cheeerrzzz,

Okay, I like triple DVD sets. But autumn? AUTUMN? Hello?!
How long have we been waiting for this thing? Since 2006? 2005? I forgot. Because the waiting HURTS >:|
And "autumn this year" still isn't a definitive release date, so who knows what might happen in between?
Dammit.... *mumbles*

Finally, the Agglutination DVD is out! And guess who the two people on this picture are? It's even featured on the web site's front page O_O
silicondreams is getting the DVD for us cuz I have no idea how it works. Scaaary Italian site ;)
Can't wait to show it to all the people I know, going "See, that's us! We were really there! Look, now they're at it again! They're so doing...".
Er... Yeah ^_^;;;
It'll be cool to experience all the awesome moments again... and maybe even laugh about the bad ones, safely snuggled on the couch instead of squashed against... okay, okay, I'm not describing that again *shudders*
Anyway, yay DVD ^_____^

"Carry me over" will be the second single from the upcoming new Avantasia album "The Scarecrow".
Well, we knew that already.
But today, I got a newsletter from Nuclear Blast that had a link to the full video clip.
Click here to see it (it's on MySpaceTV).
My god. I love this song. It's beautiful. And - I know it's old news, but... seeing Tobi playing the bass is so. Damn. Hot.

Apart from the vid, rdyfrde also posted a link to a new audio interview with Tobi.
Get it here (I suggest using right-click and "save as").
As rdyfrde said, the volume is really low. My tip: Get GoldWave and boost it up by a few hundred percent. Also, converting it to mp3 might make sense for various reasons ;)

Tomorrow's gonna be a good day fer sure.
Our fave chain of wholesale stores is running another 20% off sale on non-food things. That's how we got our PS3 ^^
So, this time, yamasagi and me will get ourselves some games.
He's planning to pick up "Assassin's Creed" (PS3) and I want "Animal Crossing" for the DS. I've heard so many good things about this game, it has to be amazing.
I just hope they have both of them in stock *prays*

It happened again!
This time, they didn't have the video on Motherload so I cut it from the show myself and converted it to FLV. This is my first selfmade FLV and it loooks quite good, dontcha think? :3
Since the LJ people apparently don't let you embed videos that aren't on Photobucket or YouTube, I'll have to provide you with the link to the corresponding post on my German blog.

Der kleine Eisbär ;)

(BTW, the video was made using VirtualDub to cut it and Riva FLV encoder. It was uploaded to and streams directly from my own server.)

Enjoy ^_^

A BBC documentary about that scary and menacing beast called Intelligent Design can be found over at Google Video.

How can you agree to this and call yourself a scientist?
How can anyone in their right mind call this crap a legitimate theory?
Well, maybe the answer lies within the question here...

First, some similarities between Boffle and MPFC I discovered (mainly from watching only the first episode and a handful of random clips):

- The mix of quite intellectual and really clever stuff with absolute, mind-rippling nonsense (Their vox pops, where they only show the weird answers and you have NO IDEA what they're on about are just pricelss!)
- Their use of links ("We need someone to go through that door" - which leads to the next sketch)
- The sudden going out of character ("I can end this sketch in forty-five seconds")
- And, not to be taken that seriously, the fact that Stephen Fry is almost as good at shouting (complete with cracking of voice) as John Cleese *lol*

--------------------------------

Now, some YouTube links:

Barman
That one nearly killed me. Seriously. Their timing is brilliant.

Censored
From episode one. "And then the sketch ends with us going to bed together" - "..... violently." *snort* Though I know a couple of fics that beat them to the punchline on this one, hehe ;)

(No title)
I wonder why people keep remarking upon the Python similarities. I doubt they were EVER trying to hide it ;)

Major Donaldson
Speaking of obvious. Hugh's German accent is bad as always, but OMFG teh slash. It's almost as if Stephen were out of character in this one from a certain point on. Hey, you can dream, can you? XD

My Dear Boy
This one is almost too much. Gay men playing gay men (especially that... type O_o) always scares me a bit. But it's still hilarious.
