Anything and Alles (Everything)
As I said here, I love to see what people do with small spaces. I like different design elements of each of these homes. I think my favorite, though, is the first video. I like the Moroccan theme she has going on. I think the Moroccan floor couch is awesome.

I don’t know if it’s doable but I would love to see this implemented if they can get it to work. Even if it is doable I’m not sure how easy it would be to see the warnings on the road during the day but it is an awesome idea.

Tokio Hotel is a German band who had major success at a very young age. At the time of this concert (2005) Bill Kaulitz (singer) and Tom Kaulitz (guitarist; the one with dreadlocks and a hat on) had just turned 16. Bill and Tom are identical twins but you have to look hard to notice it. Bassist Georg Listing would have been 18 and drummer Gustav Schäfer would have just turned 17. By 2005 they had already been together for about 5 years. This tour was for their first album Schrei. In 2006 Tokio Hotel released Schrei so laut du kannst which had some of the songs from Schrei rerecorded since puberty caused Bill’s voice to change. They also added 3 tracks that were not on Schrei. I personally like the original vocals on Schrei best but Schrei so laut du kannst is worth getting for the extra tracks. Not that I dislike Bill’s voice since it changed, I just like the original vocal recording for those songs better. I think Bill’s voice has sounded slightly different with each album and it suits the music each time.
Their first album was mostly punk. I think their sound changed a bit with each album. Zimmer 483 (2007) was more rock and Humanoid (2009) was rock/synth pop. Their latest album Kings of Suburbia (2014) is more synth/dance/pop rock. Kings of Suburbia is their first album to be recorded only in English; Scream was released in 2007 which had some of the songs from both Schrei and Zimmer 483 recorded in English. And Humanoid had the full album recorded in both German and English.
Anyway, here is the concert from 2005. When I have more time I am going to post another blog with more of my favorite videos. I get tired of having to find them on YouTube when I want to watch them so it’s easier for me to post them here. If anyone knows if this is something I can buy on DVD let me know. I haven’t been able to find it anywhere but YouTube. I even checked Amazon’s German site and could not find it. Danke to sweetbill91 for posting this on YouTube.

I love the Graham Norton Show. It always cracks me up. Since I’m going to see Fifty Shades of Grey tomorrow here is a video of Jamie Dornan talking about how Fifty Shades of Grey changed his life. This is so funny.

Watch the video before you scroll down to read my comment. It will be funnier that way (the video, not my comment). It’s only 4 minutes long. It’s not the whole show.

This cracks me up probably more than it should because I can actually relate to this. In 7th grade I had a cyst pressing on my sciatic nerve that caused me to walk funny (I also occasionally walked on my tip toes). I had to go through physical therapy and I remember having to think about the heel-toe thing when I walked. I think I even had that leaning back walk for a while. I think my walk is fine now, or at least no one points it out anymore. Now that I’m thinking about it I should video tape myself walking to see what I look like. I’m kind of curious. Edit: I just asked my husband if I walk funny and his response was “Not that I’ve ever noticed.” I’m still curious to record my walk though.

Sorry for the rambling…
I’ve been trying to formulate a way to try to explain my intentions for this blog and my YouTube channel so people could have some idea of what to expect here. It’s hard because it encompasses so many different ideas, hence the “Anything and Alles (Everything)” tagline. There is no main thread that ties everything together except for the fact that they are all things that interest me. My original goal was to use this as a platform to interview people, and that is still a main goal. However, I also want to use this as a way to document things for myself. Whether it’s things I want to remember or just links and videos I want to be able to easily find again. I love being able to look back and see how my interests have evolved or how my ideas on things change with new input. And, in the process, if I can introduce someone to something they didn’t know existed or give them a new way to look at something, then that is just an added bonus.
Growing up my influences were talk shows and MTV (back when MTV actually played music 24 hours a day). I always wanted to be the interviewer. I thought MTV Veejays, Barbara Walters and Oprah Winfrey had the coolest jobs. Music was my first love, quickly followed by books, and I thought “how cool would it be to be able to interview whichever musician or author I was currently into?”. But I wanted to be able to interview whomever I wanted, whenever I wanted, from wherever I wanted. I never wanted to be tied to a location, production company, or a fixed schedule. Nor was I interested in having to interview people I didn’t care about simply for a show. I wanted freedom and control over what I was doing. And now with the internet and websites like YouTube I can do just that. I think that is pretty awesome. Now I just need to start telling people that GushOnline exists.
