Felix, a young man from rural Austria, moves to Cork for his studies. A big step, as he’s generally a rather shy, insecure young man who is highly influenced by a) his belief in Astrology and the fact that his identity is determined by him being Pisces and b) his childhood in an Austrian village, where people weren’t exactly accepting towards his sexuality. In Cork, he tries to start a new life. He moves in with a girl, Cara, he met online who is just as much (if not even more) into Astrology as he is, and takes up Cultural Studies at the UCC. Right at the beginning, he meets Owen – a guy who seems cold on the outside, but turns out to have a very soft core. In contrast to Felix, Owen deoesn’t believe in Astrology at all. So they start a bet: Felix and Cara will pick dates for Owen and, based on their natal chart, will determine how these dates will end. Owen agrees – and chaos enfolds.

Concert review: Saltatio Mortis & Alestorm, RuhrCongress Bochum, 25 November 2023
So this show was a double first timer. One I had been waiting for for several years (roughly since 2007 or 2008) and one that I hadn’t known until now that I needed to see them. Given that I came with a „Let’s see what happens, I have no expectations“-attitude, that concert was a very damn good one.
Concert review: Self Deception – You’re Only As Sick As Your Secrets Tour (with Awake The Dreamer, Those Without)
This is basically a combined review. If there’s a band that I love from the deepest bottom of my heart, it’s not unlikely that I’ll visit more than one show of their tour. This applies to Self Deception, a Swedish alternative rock / metalcore band that is my absolute favourite Spotify discovery so far. When they announced their headline tour in Germany, I couldn’t buy tickets fast enough.
Concert review: Fall Out Boy, Pvris & nothing, nowhere – Rudolf-Weber-Arena Oberhausen, 06 November 2023
It really teleported me back into my teenage days when they played songs like A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me or Sugar, We’re Going Down. Those songs remind me of my Myspace era – and how many bands I discovered through Myspace before it went down
Album review: Versengold – Lautes Gedenken
On Friday, the German folk rock band Versengold published their new album „Lautes Gedenken“. It marks their 20 year anniversary as a band and hence includes a song celebrating that exactly. I’ve seen them at the MPS in Bückeburg this year and it was amazing, And it gave me somewhat of a headstart for their new album, which I’ll talk about here.
