Headbanger

Rule 1: No headbanging with your glasses on.

Smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy

Sometimes you can't remember how and why you became friends with someone, and then you're like, "Oh, duh!"

Mimi on the inside

Whether it's good music or bad music, songs that you listened to when you were a teenager seem to be deeply ingrained in you.

Klo Ukulele

Nasty Pants

Here's the nasty pants song. G has confirmed that it has nothing to do with nasty pants, however. 

Wrong Lou

Lou Reed fans, please don't hurt me.

Do Re Mi

Moin from Lübeck!

G and I clearly grew up in different cultures so something this happens quite often...

He's back!

Uwe's back from Hamburg for the weekend!

Also, have I mentioned that Uwe is superduper talented? Apart from his main acting career, he's also a singer-songwriter. Check out his awesome tunes on his Soundcloud site, including a supersexy rendition of Britney's "Toxic" in addition to all his original tracks!

Impress me

Ach, poor G.

Don't cry, Glen

Ok, so that doesn't look like Glen Hansard at all...but still. Any Swell Season fans out there?

NYE Japanese style

Have an awesome New Year's Eve, however you end up spending it. And if it's not awesome...well, it's just another day.

Nasal is the New Black

G-Muzak

He adds the soundtrack/narration to the little mundane things of my life.

Open Mic

My friends B, P, and I went to an open mic the other day for the first time. It was a little bit intimidating, considering this guy was performing on stage when we got there . . .

Nyan Waits

Nyan Waits!

Star-Spangled

G a closet US-patriot. Who knew?

That's the one

Impossible to remember. I had to look it up for this comic and I immediately forgot it again.

Bruno Santos - "Time to Tell"

A little late-evening artist endorsement time!

One of my close buddies from my Saudi days and fellow third-culture-kid friend of mine, Bruno Santos, has just released his debut solo album, Time to Tell, which was written, performed, produced, engineered and edited (well, basically he pretty much did everything) entirely by himself.

This charismatic polyglot (whom I've actually seen successfully sweet-talk AirFrance employees into letting him take on 100+kgs of music equipment without extra fees) is currently based in São Paulo after countless relocations around the world.

Anyway, I thought I would mention him here not only because he's a friend but also because he's a brilliantly talented artist about whom you could later brag that you've "totally been into him since he released his first album." To me, he kind of sounds like a one-man Matchbox Twenty with a twist. A Brazilian Jason Mraz. Or a mishmash of lot of my favourite artists—many of them introduced to me by Bruno himself at the green age of 15. Anyway, seeing (or listening) is believing. Here's one my favourite tracks on the album, "Not the End" (free download available on his website) :

...ahem. Yes?

For those of you who are clueless:

Why won't YouTube let me watch "I'm on a Boat"? Hurumphnut.

The Boss

Bruuuuuuuuuce!
