Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Jesus und einem beliebigen anderen Superhelden? Richtig – dass Jesus am Ende schwächelt. Zwar ist er schon irgendwie auch super. Aber Jesus nimmt eben dieses unrühmliche Ende und wird ans Kreuz genagelt. Wo sind da seine Superhelden-Kräfte geblieben? Anscheinend futsch. Viele finden das zu Recht ärgerlich. Alles hätte doch so schön enden können, wenn Jesus als starker Held irgendeine andere Lösung gefunden hätte.

Pick Yourself a Harp
(deutsche Version unten)
When you are frustrated because you are completely out of your element. When you feel as if the whole world is against you. When you have a dream but do not know how to make it come true – then there are exactly two alternatives. Either you lose heart, hang your musical instrument upon a tree and sit down into a corner poutfully.

Eine handvoll Hits
Es ist mal wieder an der Zeit für eine handvoll Hits. Oder, genauer gesagt: Für zwei Hände voll. Diese 10 Hits stammen aus Hamburg, und zwar von der Band Praiser. Schlagzeuger André und Gitarrist Bender haben mir je fünf Songs verraten, die ihnen wichtig sind und sie beeinflusst haben. In der Summe ergibt sich daraus die persönliche Top-10-Liste von Praiser. Und nebenbei bemerkt: Schon in Kürze werden Praiser auch wieder ein Album mit reichlich Hits darauf veröffentlichen. Also seid ruhig schonmal gespannt.

Bring back that Feeling to Me!
(deutsche Version unten)
During the late 1980s and early 90s I mostly used to sit in my bedroom playing with toy blocks or with my model railway. Instead of – as I should have done – having my hair dyed blue and listening to loud music of wild bands. But now late bloomers like me can receive assistance, because the band Unshackled from El Paso, Texas, have lately released their CD „The Overcoming Years“ on Thumper Punk. On this album they play hard but melodious Punk Rock in the style of the late 80s and garnish their sound with a pinch of modern Hardcore. At listening to this CD I am inwardly transported back to those good old days that you could call a "golden era" if not its shine had rather been a rancidly beercanny one. The music by Unshackled breathes that slightly anarchistic air of the Chaos Days generation.
