This morning, my iPod surprised me with some excellent spring-feeling-happiness songs shuffled in a row. first it played this one:
then this:
The only thing missing were birds tweeting spring to come. I almost wrote twittering.. which would be pretty strange. Imagine a bird in its birdy language would send the following message to twitter: Chirp! Chirpchirp chirp, chirpchirpchirp? … In human language it would mean: Hey Spring! Why don’t you want to come - you’re not afraid of the winter, or? .. I know it’s a little longer than birdy language, but you need to imagine it like chinese… a chirp can have many meanings, depending on pronounciation and accentuations.
And the Oscar for best music videos again and again and again and again goes to: OK GO!
but catching a cold in thanks. Thanks.
another interesting keynote from this year’s transmediale. about the influence of the cold war on our understanding of future. (by Dr. Richard Barbrook (uk))
