Best Albums in 2015

Posted on December 25, 2015 by Music & HiFi 5

Yes, from time to time I write something fully off-topic.

If you look for tech stuff please scroll down just a bit 😉

I love listen to music. Every day. Especially when I travel my two friends (Pono Player and B&O H6 Headphones) are always with me. And at home I have a decent stereo system in my man’s cave. But this blog post is not meant about gear, it’s meant about music released in 2015.

When I look at “Best Record of the Year” in terms of popularity or sells I always get a bit …

Happy New Year!!! And my top ten 2012 songs …

Posted on January 1, 2013 by Music & HiFi 1


Happy New Year
to all of you, your families and friends wherever you live on the globe 🙂

 

And – similar to last year – here’s my list of the best 2012 songs based on the CDs or LPs I did purchase that year – and I didn’t buy much music this year but did focus on older stuff I had on my iPod for quite a while or just started listening. For instance I did get two UFO compilations, The Chrysalis Years and the The Decca Years, after listening to Try Me in the best bar on …

The best Bar on the globe is … in Seoul/Korea

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Music & HiFi Travel 3

As you know already sometimes I write about things which really don’t have to do anything with a database upgrade. So if you are looking for tips and tricks and articles about that topic please stop reading now 🙂

Actually I’m not a lets-go-to-a-bar person. I enjoy good food and a fine dessert wine afterwards. But last week in Seoul/Korea Ryan, our local host, did ask us after a wonderful dinner at a Korean Barbecue place if we’d like to visit a bar. I was really tired as I flew into Seoul overnight from Sunday to Monday arriving Monday early …

Off topic: Travel and presentation equipment

Posted on May 25, 2011 by Music & HiFi 0

For those you are purely interested in Oracle stuff only please skip this entry 😉

For everybody else an update on this blog post from last year regarding my Shure In-Ear phones and my Logitech presenter. I always carry my 160GB iPod with me containing mostly Apple Lossless converted music files. “Only” 5485 titles fit on this device once you convert them lossless. But I like to listen to music in decent quality. Therefore my Shure in-ear phones did quite a good job. Especially when I sleep on airplanes (which I had to do quite often last …

R.I.P. my little Logitech and Shures

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Music & HiFi 3

Travel is over for this year. And it might be a great idea as we had tons of snow in Munich the last two days – and more than 130 flights got canceled at MUC.

Even though I love snow and the quietness outside once the surroundings are fully covered by fresh powder I’ll have to say that I did like Camps Bay in Capetown a lot 🙂

Anyway, after several years of heavy travel my Logitech Presenter and my Shure In-Ear phones for my iPod gave up nearly at the same time. I looked up my order for …
