1,000

Die Toten Hosen (literally “The Dead Trousers” - although most closely translated to “The Dead Beats” - “tote Hose” is a German expression meaning “impotent”, “lifeless”, “boring”, or “nothing going on”) are a Punk Rock Band from Dusseldorf, Germany.

They started life back in 1982. Their songs´ focus gradually shifted from funny and nonsensical to serious. The songs from their first LP were mostly about having fun, but by the end of the 1980s they were focusing more on political and social issues.

Part of the folklore surrounding the band is the story that in their early days they played for free at private birthday parties or similar events. However, this was only under the condition that the host provided an unlimited beer supply and paid for all damages caused by the band.

The current line-up:
Andi (Andreas Meurer) - Bass
Breiti (Michael Breitkopf) - Guitar
Campino (Andreas Frege) - Vocals
Kuddel (Andreas von Holst) - Guitar
Vom (Stephen George Ritchie) - Drums

I´ve been to many concerts of DTH during the past years, including Vienna (my favorite concert!). One of my all-time favorite songs is

“Es gibt 1,000 gute Gründe” (There are 1,000 great reasons”)

Happy Manic Monday, peeps!

Homer: It’s not easy to juggle a pregnant wife and a troubled child, but somehow I managed to fit in eight hours of TV a day.

HEAVY

The Ruhr area in Germany has been dominated by coal mining and heavy industry for more than a century. The northern part of Duisburg, Germany became a part of the Ruhr industrial area at a relatively late stage: around the mid 19th century when heavy industry was beginning to burst the limitations of the Ruhr valley. Thyssen´s Blast furnace no. 5 is a prime example of the late industrial era. Today the Blast furnance is part of the Landscape Park in Duisburg North - a beautiful park combining untamed vegetation, specially designed gardens and green areas, and disused industrial monuments:

Once a location of the industry with workplaces for many hundred people - today a landscape park made for leisure time and culture: Landscape Park Duisburg North.

Homer: You mean you gave away both your dogs? You know how I feel about giving.

As a little thank you for visiting the Oktoberfest Cyber Cruise with me I got this Oktoberfest Stein for all of you. The Stein is the official souvenir from the Oktoberfest 2007. =)

The last step on our Oktoberfest Cruise brings us to Rastal, where the Steins are made. This is how the Stein of 2005 was produced:
