So....we have a radio....After our test broad castings, i think we are ready to go on air in a regular basis. So except aliens invade the planet, meteorites crash on earth, biblical floods bring the Water World and all other possible and every day disasters.... A Chick Habit radio will be on air every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 13.00 to 15.00 CET (14.00 to 16.00 Greek time)....exactly as your weekly fitness program to keep your minds and ears in perfect shape:-)
Broadcasting from Berlin, the land of countless newborns, of bio-mania and David Hasselhoff (...maybe it's the german origin name that makes him still so popular here)...the only place on earth where Kevin Costner is considered a rock star(playing live on 18th of March), where you can see headliners in a festival Spandau Ballet and you can make your grocery shopping listening to Nick Kamen (....who is he??? handsome, sexy, one hit wonder pop icon of mid 80's).
From Berlin to all of you....a chick habit radio is now on air :-)

A movie and a song ...and we catch up with this adventure as we do each one of us with our life's adventures. Last night I saw one of the new indie-american-blockbuster movies “500 days of Summer” and if I remember correct my last post, almost four months ago(it's been so long????), was about The Temper Trap and their “Sweet disposition”.
Well this song appears twice in this movie – unusual for a song, two times? In the same movie? This is a sign – a sign of resurrection....
The movie as it is indicated clearly in the beginning is NOT a love story. I would say that is just a movie about fate, coincidence and that sometimes this everyday adventure and survival that we call life can really surprises you.......How right and wrong can be so confusing sometimes, how expectations and reality are messing up with your feelings....and how almost every time after rain comes sunshine.....after Summer comes Autumn...(you have to see this movie to get this one...)
So here we are ...four months after....a big step AHEAD... a new city, a new life, a new adventure....this time with the feeling “i am in the right way”. “I just woke up one day and I knew ” says Summer, “...what I was never sure of with you”.....(see the movie you ll get that one too).....
So here we are.....back again!!!!
Welcome one more time to this blog, a blog about views of this world through a woman's eye....yeah I know this sounds pompous.....but I am just writing for everything that pops into my eye and leaves an impression, a thought or whatever I wanna share with you. And from now on we also have a radio......a chick habit radio!!!
We ll start easy and we ll hopefully continue rough...so stay tuned ... the best times are ahead, cause the good are already here :-)
The Temper Trap are from Melbourne, Australia. Melodic and atmospheric tunes from down under. They just released their debut album named Conditions.... you can find it if you look around the web, listen and love it and then GO BUY it... Official date release in the UK 10th of August.....
The only thing i would say....from Men at Work to Radio Birdman and many many more...Australia always offers the best, i dont know how but 9 to 10 times if it is from Australia, it is GOOD!!!! ...Think Hugh Jackman for example ;-)
Learn more about The Temper Trap here and join them on myspace here
....as for their songs? You are on your own on this quest for the holy graal :-P
How many times haven't we ask ourselves what is this magic thing that makes a song really memorable????
Well.... moments. Always moments!!!! And if you consider that our lives are only moments...moments of sadness and happiness. And we go on with these precious moments and their memories and of course the "soundtrack" of these memories........pffff too much thinking makes it really complicated, isn't it???
Well this song was written by The Bee Gees (yeap, the Gibb brothers themselves) in 1968. Read here what wikipedia says about it....... and hear it (at your own risk) here
In 1998, 30 years later Faith no More offer a second chance to this good but unlucky song. This one was the last single of the band, released after their split up, that is why none of the band members appeared on the video-clip.
Thank God, Faith no More changed their minds and they are back together....REUNITED AGAIN!!!! In one of those reunion concerts i met Steffi and Ralph.... i am not allowed to say more neither to show you a video of a great love but this song will always remind me of that beautiful night in Wuhlheide..... if they werent there, i would have missed not only the concert but myself in that area. Thank you guys!!!!
And Ralph well done for calling Steffi the right moment ;-) and singing in the right tune :-P
While i was walking around the streets of Berlin, i saw this painting.... A girl with a "fear and loathing in Las Vegas" look in her eyes prefers to lick a green "probably psychedelic" frog over her ice cream.
Lick him until he becomes her prince!!! Is licking that promising???? i should try it some day ;-)
The artist is Daniela Uhlig, an artist based in Berlin. She is an illustrator and designer. You can view her work here and you can visit her blog here...
i read an article about this gang of women in India. they wear pink and they took control of their lives in a country where women are considered children of a lesser god.
