    Frank Goyke - Muttermord (Rotbuch, 2006)
    Frank Goyke – Muttermord (Rotbuch, 2006)

    Eigentlich: “Bücher, langsam gelesen denn es ist EM” … Lesen beendet am 21.06…

    Rotbuch Krimi ist eine meiner Lieblings Krimiserien – leider ist das ganze nach dem mehrfachen Verkauf des Verlages so ziemliuch den Bach runtergegangen. Aus einer der besten und modernsten Krimiserien sind nur noch vereinzelte Highlights und die “Hard Case Crime” Serie verblieben. Und, was mich am meisten ärgert, in meinem Regal stehen die nach Erscheinung geordnet und die einstmals großartig “harmonisch” gestalteten Bücher sind zwischendurch zur Dutzendware  verkommen. Aus dieser Periode stammt auch dieses Buch, das ich erst jetzt gekauft hatte um “vollständig” zu werden.

    Die Geschichte ist klasse angelegt: Der Mord passiert zügig und der Mörder ist bekannt. Zumindest uns als Leser. Die Kommissare der Mordkommission mühen sich an den dem Mord ab und können ihre Fantasie garnicht so weit schweifen lassen wie es eigentlich notwendig wäre. Mehr Morde passieren, mehr Mörder kommen ins Spiel und die eigentlichen Protagonisten sind die Polizisten. Klasse gemacht, gute Story.

    Now, does that qualify for a record cover never made? No, it ain’t. Does it qualify for a rant – no, neither.

    It does qualify for a good laught indeed and i’d like to visualize episcopalists moshing it out big time.

    That view would be priceless indeed.

    If you miss book reviews then be told that is Euro2012 and live footie all evening, your humble servant does not realy get a lot of reading these days.

    No, tell me, where the fuck is this and who provided the soundtrack?

    S.S.A. - Please Remain calm ... (Screwed Up Records, 2012)
    S.S.A. – Please Remain calm … (Screwed Up Records, 2012)

    Now this is funny, never thought i would like any of Rudi’s bands that much! Oldpunk Rudi Krawall from Hamburg has seen his share of the world and now has settled for quite a long time in Perth on the other side of the globe, with his lovely wife Alison and 2 nice kids. Being 50 does not stop him from playing in bands and his current venture is S.S.A. (Sex Surprise Attack) and following some 7″‘s and a small CD they have released a new full DIY CD.

    And, wow, tight production and great sound and – even more wow, allmost bowwowwow –  some great tunes. Realy. Go listen, go order (i can arrange for that if need be).

    Verdict:

    1977 – great mix of 77 with 80ties – good balance of speed
    published by a cool lable – Rudi did it himself!
    found in a cool shop – nope, came by mail from down under, guess no import to god-old germany
    catching sound – yep, some catchy tunes, a great hiddden instrumental track
    The lyrics – mmmhhhh – strange ones! – but nice turn with hookline and chorus, well done!

    the air is burning in the night with sulpuhr
    look how the die look how they die
    there smoke and fire and a rifle blowing
    look how they die look how they die
    you wont admit it but it is time your gone
    this time you gone this time your going
    theres no reason but this time your gone
    this time your gone this time your going
    a fire fly fill the night with fire
    look how they die look how they die
    as smoke billows from its tireless motor
    look how they die look how they die

    In full flight – a cool DIY video for this one:

    If only damn Perth wouldn’t be halfway round the globe and some 22 hrs flight time from Hamburg – would be great to see Rudi more often! See him many years ago in Hamburg below, oh wonderfull loving memories… and age does not seem to draw on Rudi:
