It is too late and the time that 2008 can happen again soon to review. That's just part before the spiritual state, to the completely new year - to pay - the last of the first decade of the millennium. I write mainly for myself once, but you are cordially invited, think along and to argue about the events anno-2008th Already at low temporal distance that is "left over" here.
oil, real estate, credit cards.
The oil price is consistent with its absurd price rally - first in the summer to over 140 dollars, Last but under 40 - for the ever escalating farce called global economy. But that has fallen sharply on the nose - and the fairly neutral observer, a dose of schadenfreude sometimes not hide. She has in recent years increasingly turned to speculation in order to Finanzjongliererei and betting on matches, and counted the endless consumer lust of a humanity that even in the truth can not afford. And thus fails at times this seemingly perverse system on its own arrogance, naivety and greed. As a result confirmed ethical and moral no-Na-lessons from the last few hundred years of human history. The first principle of reading in university business courses should therefore continue as Goethe's Faust .
Fritzl, Haider, Obama.
More head shaking? But please be beaten is that the economic value erosion in the human and emotional level, demonstrates the Lower Austrian town of Amstetten, its notoriety, it owes a madman. The unimaginable of Actions of Josef Fritzl , the size of the universe seem almost tangible. On the other side of the Alps shows a politician's "humanity" on almost tragicomic way: use the 1.8 per thousand, 142km / h and the corresponding history into a road sign lawn and afterwards sent as a quasi-saint in heaven to be the Carinthian, that requires a Joerg Haider . As we stood to him too, "an impact" this figure in the local politics was always - not least in his last great campaign for the parliamentary election 2008 - which is less evocative and has finally just "more of the same" position. Quite different in the U.S., where Barack with Obama a perfectly communicated and communicating shining light was elected president. He will have to use its tons of laurels rather than stirrups than a pillow to himself, to his country and around the world are a small percentage of what is expected of him - and it is hoped that he thereby succeeds. Be that as it may: Three people, will be available in many different ways for a long time with the year 2008 and its related events.
€, Olympia, cabbage.
In sports as well once I peck out three events that were formative: the European Soccer Championships in Austria - supported by Hopes and expectations of sport as an economic nature - was in all these respects, Austria and finally typical: Somehow, eh ok, if you look closer a disappointment. The Olympics in Beijing, I noticed only in passing, but the framing of the picture was just due to the Chinese version of modern communism - the impressions of my stay in Vietnam's december were frighteningly similar. How can the public to foolhardy Sport (ler) be (can) finally showed a certain Bernhard Kohl . Maybe he has red spots on his jersey that he has taken during the Tour de France, held for measles - which is why his body Drugs supplied that are not as real to the blood of a cyclist. Whether system error perpetrators or victims: Who cares really?
Hansi Lang, Christian Moser, Heath Ledger.
that differ with age and more people from the environment of life is sad as a logical fact. 2008 but there were deaths in the immediate vicinity, were not particularly old and really young people that are missing in the future. Somewhat related was the mourning for Christoph Moser (who just had an accident there just before I left for Vietnam), the longtime head of sales Hoanzl and one of the most important figures in the Austrian music scene. Tragic as the death of Hansi Lang was (stroke in the studio) or Heath Ledger ("accidental" drug overdose in the course of work on "The Dark Knight"). A much too long list of "public" deaths Hermes has created.
Kid Rock, Jason Mraz, Chinese Democracy.
Musically the music developed more and more Yesterday - or it falls over the age of 30 simply easier to what you have already heard everything in life. The Trendheischer still play 80 fat - goes in the photos, the flyers, the pants and skirts, and the music itself, the truly creative material but from them. The great innovator you are looking for 2008 rather vain, acts such as MGMT or Hot Chip were instrumental, but already last year predicted as such (see Review 2007). The world is waiting for hip accordingly on an aggressive outbreak á la grunge in order to free themselves from the more and more into Campy-enhancing. The world economic crisis is more likely to have more fat and pop color - yet: If 2009th
approach was at least as far as '08, the revival of the trivial Techno Schlager - a first harbinger of the revival of the early 90's. "Three days awake" , anyone? Also strange duet constellations are known from this period - Alicia Keys & Jack White was it not two years ago as quickly assumed the same song, James Bond and the EURO has (ultimately "Seven Nation Army" with a couple of years late literally brought stadium suitability and Mr. White unintentionally as reluctantly in the first mainstream League catapults) having the effect. remain
from the "real" charts somewhat left of the big commercial union, the Kid Rock is landed with his zusammengefladerten number "All Summer Long" (best-selling single of the year), or since the first Coca Cola Song eight p.m. years, which again topped the charts (Jason Mraz ' "I'm Yours" ); of late but was recognition boost Amy Winehouse (best-selling album in Austria in 2008: the almost two years old "Back to Black" ), whose free-rider Duffy ("Mercy"), and probably also the annoying, but cleverly marketed Braves T-macht-on-bad-girl-Katy Perry noodle ( "I Kissed A Girl" ).
Austrian gives more and more attention and now it is eating properly at all corners and ends. However, if we do ever that Ö3 here, a little more courage, not only to the (now containing a whit more) draws average stuff, but remains questionable. I predict yet the big "explosion" of one or the other acts 2009th
least my personal earwigs of this strange year, but not limited to, genius or massive artistic specialty.
