back from summer holidays, i found the new brand TAYLOR SUPPLY. they promise
“to always stay true to their roots, using 1920’s and 1950′ as inspiration, when
america was characterised by rugged individualism, industrial innovation and entrepreneurship”.
all products are produced and made in new york city: taylor-supply.com

WESTERLAND | SYLT, GERMANY
holiday time – just for 7 days. going to sylt the awesome german island
in the north sea. i remembered a song about westerland, the biggest
village on this island, by DIE ÄRZTE a famous german punk rock band.
my god the song and the video below is from 1988: terrific! nice gimmick:
the guitar of singer and lead guitarist FARIN URLAUB has the shape
of the island – he played it on live gigs this time.

RED WING SHOES | NEW OXFORDS 2011
damn, i own 3 pairs of these – they are my favourite summer shoes.
no socks, no compromise. bleeding foot for one week but then: walking
to the end of the world! next summer there will be two other colours
and leathers; seen on RED WING 1905. and they are looking damn
pretty nice. 5 pairs. hm, for every working day another one. freaky?
i think so …

RED WING SHOES | WATCH STRAPES
great! i think the straps will fit my panerai luminor marina. must check
watches24seven if i could get’em here in germany. i am curious about
what my friend volker wiegmann from www.vintagepanerai.com will
say, because i know he is great red wing fan – i never saw him not
wearing a pair of them.

TODAY AT MEATPACKERS FRANKFURT, GERMANY…
WORLD SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP 2010 | GERMANY vs SERBIA 0:1
… and today we could see the real strength of our team. serbia is not
australia! a lot of german fans will have seen the upcoming world champion
2010 after the match vs. australia. here we go: this is the reality. klose –
it’s a shame, sorry. ok, the referee was really bad, but a player with such an
experience may not get a yellow red card at the middle of the field.
that’s blockheaded …
