I am mere days before launching a round trip to the States, Canada and England. While there is going to be some exciting stuff happening during the next month, I also leave with mixed feelings. Mostly because of the recent accident involving a plane traveling the route Rio de Janeiro – Paris. I am not afraid of the flights or anything (if I would be, I might as well be scared silly of downtown Münster, where my chances to die in a bicycle accident are, statistically speaking, considerably higher than on a plane, in particular as my bike lacks well working breaks). I figure its mostly that I feel a fair amount of empathy for the people on board of the Air France flight; I find my imagination drifting off to construct the last minutes of the people on board of that flight in my minds eyes. As somebody who flies semi frequently, I know that even mean turbulences can be quite scary… for a short moment you realize just how close you are to some cattle thats being carted around, that your influence is zero… one just hast to hope that people in charge now their buisness. Anyways, I also took this post as a challenge to dig up some appropriate earfuzz. Naturally, I couldn’t help thinking of the British seventies rock act The Motors and their nice catchy tune “Airport”. I also felt that would be a cheap trick. Appropriately, I bring you a cover of just that song (albeit quite close to the original). The tune was twisted by the Delaware-based band The Spinto Band and can be found on their 2008 seven inch single Summer Grof; its a tad more quick and sloppy than the original, which adds that extra bit of smack. Also, the sound of some of the other things they are up to is kinda neat, so be sure to check it out.
