bin beim Überprüfen, ob es Everything Everywhere All at Once tatsächlich in OV in der Mediathek gibt, direkt über das nächste Juwel gestolpert:
auch Maurice (1987) gibt es in OV in der ARD Mediathek!

It's that time again! Another Discworld book finished. This time, it was "The Fifth Elegant".
I must admit, it was a different Guard book, that's for sure, and not only because it takes place outside of Ankh-Morpork, but because it seems to have a way different pace and setting. The Überwald underlying politics of the struggle for power between Werewolves and the Dwarves, with the Vampires watching over.
But it also speaks greatly of another thing. Breaking the tradition, be it one way or another. Take for instance Cheery. She broke dwarven tradition, by simply being herself, and we have on the opposite side of the coin Wolfgang, who also in its way broke the Tradition, while adhering to "it".
It's a struggle between the past and the future being caught up in the present's garden, and, of course, Vimes was caught in the middle of it all. Angua's conflict with her own family, for example.
I have to admit, I cried with Gavin's result, with Gaspode's words, and the howl he gave.
Dee, as well, broke my heart. To be able to commit what one thinks is a high treason because of Tradition, because some have the freedom or bravery that one hasn't... It's heartbreaking. To feel bottled up to the point in which one does t know what to do.
And in the end, Cheery is merely happy with knowing she can be herself if she so chooses.
Wolves only look for the future.
And now, off to read Night's Watch.

8/11/23.
I would not really call Candy Claws shoegaze. Many of the reviews mentioned this - yes the vocals sound shoegazy, but the music isn't anywhere close.
"Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time was the 4th album from this Fort Collins, Colorado band. Members of the band later formed Sound of Ceres (Joyful Noise Recordings) with members of The Apples in Stereo and The Drums.
This album is a concept album developed with the help of poet Jenn Morea. The album tells the story of a white seal named Ceres and a little girl named Calypso traveling through the Mesozoic Era. The music does give one the sense of a wondrous world and story. To me the music does recall the work of any number of Elefant 6 bands (i.e. Of Montreal or The Apples in Stereo) and MGMT.
This is a 10-year anniversary release and comes with a bonus CD. It is being reissued by the original label - Twosyllable Records.

Nagyon nagy a baj veled, ha pont belém habarodtál,
az egészet basszuk el rögtön már itt az alapoknál!
