Bike – arte povera

To me this weird, bronze cyclist always had one meaning only:

it was a symbol for the non-connectedness of the Salzburg city bike paths; the wheels not connected like the bike routes. By now Salzburg has one of the best bike path systems imaginable. – So, isn't it about time to remove this symbol of lack and maybe have a new work of art here to symbolize plenty?

Elvis, Elvis!

As everybody on the blog team seems to just love Elvis Costello,

and wemo's getting sentimental about his academic year abroad in Bowling Green OH, USA,

1982, the very same year when 'Imperial Bedrooms' was released and available at Finders Records, B. G. where

'The Best' were burning down the house at the best-liked rock club in town

(many nice Harleys parked outside every night) …

so let there be an homage to great Elvis Costello and his unique glasses; here as a charming young man – and ain't he lovely … if anyone of us was, say, like … smashin' Dolly Parton, we'd just know what a woman's gotta do … well ever since, Elvis met a nice lady, and seems to have moved in with her, so even smashin' Dolly would've kept her fingas off.

Let them be happy ever after!

** xx !! – blogwart's just tryin' to get some 'Order!' into those crazy,

loveable weirdo fans

Bring on the night, once more

By day it was labelled 'pink sun screens', by night it's colored 'concrete poetry'.

Train station blues, remembered

Well, wemo's not been able to record the progress of Salzburg's biggest construction site, the main train station rebuilding. One view still looks just the same: the exterior of the main hall (while inside everything is changing), and the light column in front of it.

Still a beautiful sight.

Remembering summer

… and one of my favorite hang-outs, with original pre-1989 East Berlin charms, and a garden bar that looks like a steel container but really is poly… poly… something synthetic, from a ship-builder's, anyway,

… which has reminded the sound technician of Elvis Costello's old song Shipbuilding, which everybody in the blog team seems to like and remember. Hello to old Elvis! Gotta send some sturdy spex round to his villa, some day …
