R.A.P. statt E.K.G. - May 2011



Sorry, it's a bit late with the posting. The May show took place on Friday the 13th and it's the first in-studio show that I'd done since March. I've got a bit of a timing conflict on Fridays for the next few months, so I kind of decide at the last minute whether the show will be a re-run, live, or pre-produced. It actually might be this way until the end of the year. I'm hoping that I'll mostly be live again come fall. We shall see.

Oh and I still haven't gotten the show from the server as yet, since I went by the station today, but no one was their (or they were there but didn't answer the phone or open the door). Anyway, I hope to do that sometime this week, since we're getting pretty close to June now.

Zilv and I just have to deal with the burst pipe upstairs and I have to get my wisdom teeth out.

I finally got around to making a Facebook page, so you can search for R.A.P. statt E.K.G and like our page. Also I'll start cross-posting show updates here and on our tumblr blog (http://rapstattekg.tumblr.com), which is also where we'll post whatever interesting rap news that we stumble across on the internet (videos, concerts in Hamburg, etc.)

EDIT: Here's the widget to listen to the show online. (As usual, you can click on the share to download it)



So make a note of the url and watch these two other videos from The Plot & Dirty Sánchez

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

...and now a few words about German Rap #1

Hi, I know many of you don't know or care about German-language rap, but I do. And sometimes I want to write about it. Without proper context or introductions or explanations, it might be a little tough to follow it all. However, I'll try to throw in some wikipedia links. If you do listen to/are interested in German-language rap, then here's a chance to read some of my opinions. - Raven (Keeping in mind that I have no kind of statistics to back this up) But I think that Fettes Brot (the German hip-hop trio) is probably the most overall dissed group in the German rap scene. Notice I used the qualifier "group" because the most dissed individual would probably be Eko Fresh (sorry, Frosty ?)-- because, really, that dude has stepped on A LOT of toes in (comparatively) short amount of time. You could maybe make the same case with Die Fantastischen Vier , but it's hard to diss bajillionaires. I mean, ok, it's actually really easy to diss bajillionaires, just ha...

Horden

I went into the kitchen after work the other day to grab myself a bite to eat. Looking over at the window, I saw three or four black dots crawling over the window. Moving in for a closer look, I then saw that the dots were actually ladybugs ( Marienkäfer ). And my heart was like, "Awwww...ladybugs...cute" or whatever. It wasn't long before I noticed that it wasn't merely three or four ladybugs, but a swarm of them congregating in the upper right corner of the window frame. Easily multiple dozens of them. I had forgotten that this happened once the weather dropped. The same thing occurred last fall/winter and it freaked me out. There were just so many of them. In my mind, I immediately thought of my niece Gabi. She's 10 years old now and I really don't know what she likes anymore, but back in the day, whenever she saw a ladybug, she would kind of flip out. Her reaction wasn't fear, but rather like she was almost emotionally overtaken by the sheer beauty of ...
