About Me

»If any being felt emotions of benevolence towards me, I should return them an hundred and an hundred fold; for that one creature's sake, I would make peace with the whole kind! But I now indulge in dreams of bliss that cannot be realised.«
Mary Shelley - Frankenstein



BTW, I'm Marcel, hanging around the web for about 10 years and running coco-k.de , a fan page most of that time. (You don't know, who Coco is? Just watch these video clips , which are related to her work.)

Do you want more details about me? Just send me a message or maybe you'd like to take a look at some photos taken by me at ipernity .

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Et je m'en vais Au vent mauvais Qui m'emporte Deçà, delà, Pareil à la Feuille morte.Yes, it would be nice to meet someone, who knows life and would teach me the basics.

Maybe I'm addicted to video clips with drawings - so here's an old one (which is - I have to confess it - rather new to me): Papas Fritas - Way you walk

I think, with the lyrics "I want to be your friend. Just give my note to you." Spearmints Psycho Magnet is the ideal MySpace-song.

Seems that I'm always late - but even 2 years after the release, this song by the Havana Guns is wonderful.

Music:

my favourite music is spread widely across myspace, from the wonderful Holden and Emilie Simon in france via spains Marlango and Nubla overseas to the adorable Fiona Apple , The Elected and Downpilot .
I even found the great Beth Gibbons , a rocking Holly Golightly , the melancholic Helene , The Decemberists and - name says all - Stars .But I'm missing Edgar de l'Est and the Tindersticks and some others.
One of my first myspace experiences is, that there's a lot a music I never heard before and some of it is very beautiful. So I can recommend "l'autre bout du monde" by Emily Loizeau .


By the way, my all time favourite song is "dazed and confused" by Led Zeppelin (replaced by "paint it black" during summer), while fav lyrics are from "people are strange" by The Doors.


Movies:

First of all: Orson Welles, showing us the touch of evil and a gorgeous Katharine Hepburn in the role of a really cool Tracy Lord.
In more recent productions, I enjoyed to see Nicolette Krebitz, Winona Ryder or Sarah Polley acting on the big screen and Pedro Almodóvar showing me his vision of really beautiful stories of their own kind. And not to forget Quentin Tarantino and Woody Allen, whose movies I'll go see on name alone.
And of course - if I quit the namedropping - are short movies often a pleasure to see.

Television:

No, never - with one exception of course: arte.tv/karambolage
But I do have a favourite radio station - dradio.de - and two favourite movie theatres - filmmuseum.at in Vienna and the lichthaus.info in Weimar.

Books:

"Jemand mußte Josef K. verleumdet haben, denn ohne dass er etwas Böses getan hätte, wurde er eines Morgens verhaftet." - Franz Kafka
One of my all time favourites is Voyage au bout de la nuit by Louis-Ferdinand Céline - a book that blew away some friendly thoughts about mankind.
And now let's take a look on some other books I like, which have made it onto my bookshelf (titles in german):

Wiederholen, wiederholen, wiederholen ...

Man kann es immer nur wieder wiederholen, bis der Letzte nicht mehr behaupten kann, er hätte es noch nie gehört. Darum hier der Hinweis auf einen bemerkenswerten Artikel: Steuersenkung? Nein Danke!...
