This is not only a blog which is about music – it is more about the extreme music experience in my daily life. And there are always things to write about because I have to deal every day with a huge amount of different artists, music and everything that goes along.

I wanted to put up the OPETH interview on tuesday but failed. Integrating an eBay interface into the shop system was not easy but then something went really, really wrong. I actually can’t even tell what happened. But suddenly there was only one item (DAMNABLE‘s Completely Devoted CD) all over the shop – about 35’000 times. It was meant to be updated with a price of 3.90 Euros but updated the whole database. So I had to restore the database this evening and to prepare for similar scenarios. I put up a new backup system for the web database (for those who are interested – the shop runs on a MySQL 5 database and is now backed up with MySQL Dumper, the backup is downloaded the same night to my local server). Unfortunately half of the items were still in the shop for 3.90 Euro after restoring the title etc. information. So I had to update all the date and the shop went back to normal status early in the morning (I had some hours of sleep – the update took some hours, but had to check something in the mid of the night). This is the reason why there is still no OPETH interview on the blog. I will add it the next days – be sure!

Today I was busy with a lot of other shit but also talked to some nice people which resulted in booking BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS (post hardcore / funeral doom) for the NIGHT OF DOOM – finally, and fixing a date for CHEENO (alternative rock / metal) together with NOCH NE BAND (alternative rock) in January 2010. And with the singer of BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS I am still trying to organize another live event – so be prepared for some news about this.
Also Stefan of GRAVEART gave me an idea about what the MySpace page of SCR will look like in the future. We started a collaboration and are now working on this as our first project we do together – and it will be great! You will hear of that guy in the future…

An old friend of mine, Dominik, just gave me some new tracks of YASMINE TOURIST for a listen. I think a will post a short review about these tracks on Friday…

Tomorrow I will be at the ZWÖLFZEHN in Stuttgart to check out IRA and LIQUID BROOM. Markus (A&R of SCR) was enthusiastic about IRAs live performance earlier this year so I am really excited about seeing them live, finally! I know the guys from LIQUID BROOM from different bands with totally different music. Of course I will report from this evening filled with finest art / alternative / post rock…
