Listening to the new album "Love Affair" I´ve got some time to write some lines about me.
I was born on 29.10.1975 and live nowadays in Vienna (before a little bit out of Vienna), quite in the center. For three years I have been living with my girlfriend and her now 8-year old son in a nice rented flat. I have the luck to live very close to my current job (business controller) at the company Henkel. which is just 5 minutes by foot away --> saves a lot of time.
If I don´t work I love to play golf, to play board games, to go to the theatre and above all to listen to music (at home and live). My most favourite artists:
(apart from Sophie, Top 30, most favourites on the top)
- Pulp
- Heather Nova
- JJ72
- James
- Muse
- Sophie B. Hawkins
- Bruce Springsteen
- Placebo
- Sheryl Crow
- The Ark
- Bjork
- Tori Amos
- U2
- Sheryl Crow
- Nick Cave
- Alanis Morissette
- Radiohead
- Peter Gabriel
- Sting
- Sigur Ros
- David Bowie
- Richard Ashcroft
- Starsailor
- Natalie Merchant
- Falco
- Travis
- Robbie Williams
- Wir sind Helden
- The Cardigans
- The Strokes
Most of them I´ve also seen live at least one time, missing James, The Ark, Peter Gabriel, Richard Ashcroft, Starsailor, The Strokes
Most often I saw Heather Nova (6 times so far).
The first time I heard - no read - about Sophie Zelmani was when I spent some time (I do this quite often) on the pages of amazon.xxx and came across a list of someone ("Lieblingsliste" - you know the lists that if you like this CD you may also like ...) that included a CD of Sophie. I tried to get the CD at a store and continued to find all her other songs. My highlight so far was the trip to Luzern to see her live last November (probably you read my review on this forum).
I wish you all the best for the new year,
hopefully I can soon read some more about you,
Martin
