Then i moved on to "Slam" (by Horby), a bookmybestfriendforgotatanotherfriendsapartmentinBerlin. I tookitanddugmyselfintoit. Itis no Socratesor a universal masterpiece. It serves itspurpose. Toentertain. I couldntgetmyselfawayfromit! Afterfinishwithit I grabbed more ofHornbyspieces...JulietNaked.

2. Björk! Man, I reallywaslivingunder a rock! Although I alwaysknewboutthisScandinavian singer and liked a few songs I never actually payed attention to her trayectory. Simply Amazing! Now I even know the whole story behind the "Duck Dress" at the Oscars!
I spend nighst after work just listening to "Pagan Poetry" over and over. So suthing. So Calm yet powerful. Her lyrics are so profound, sometimes simple, lack of exact sense but yet the say so much. Even in the parts where no text is sang.
