A LETTER FROM THE USA | FROM FRED STRAIGHT OF WESTLAND DISTILLERY

mostly when FRED c/o REDWING1905 blog goes to the states he sends me a letter. at this speedy times it is so nice to get a REAL LETTER brought to you by the postman straight into your letterbox. you open the box with a real key, take a look at the sender, the stamps, then you take a knife to open the letter, and then you read a nice handwriten message … perfect, normal, but nearly old school nowadays. FRED sent me a letter from the famous WESTLAND DISTILLERY, seattle, with MUSCLE CAR stamps – i did a post about these beautiful little paper things some weeks ago – and an awesome card with a beautiful classic american graphic. so nice. FRED wrote that this would be the coolest whiskey bar of the USA. it is a pitty that you can’t find some pics and more infos @ their homepage: www.westlanddistillery.com. okay, first release of their american single malt whiskey will be fall 2013. pics | LTG

LIFE TIME GEAR | MOUNTAIN BIKING

this day was hard for me: mountain biking in RHOEN, germany, with my brother in law HANS. it was so hard because of heavy rain, hard storms and just 150 km i did this year before this day. HANS did 4.000 km before. f***, my legs, arms and the whole body are so tired. but it was great because of our team spirit. HANS always motivated me when i was so down. we did 95 km and 1.300 meters in high while raining and blowin’ the wind 6 hours. but it was f***ing great. look at the faces and you’ll see who is fit and who is down. and very important: ASSOS and ROTWILD are best stuff to manage these f***ing weather conditions. pics | my brother FABIAN

KELLERKOMMANDO “DUNNERKEIL” | GERMAN “VOLKSMUSIK” THE OTHER WAY

i do not know if i really like this, but at the moment i can’t stop listening to the new album “DUNNERKEIL” from KELLERKOMMANDO, bayreuth, germany. the guys KELLERKOMMANDO cross rap, hip hop elements, heavy drum & bass beats with classic polka, folk and german bar songs from the last 100 years. especially the changes in the songs are nice to hear, always surprising and exciting: what will happen in the next second of the song. and the german texts are interesting to listen at. my favorite song: “MEIN NACHBAR” … great! funny, the “fränkisch” dialect. pics & videos | © KELLERKOMMANDO, Marc Wiessler, Severin Schweiger

1. FC KAISERSLAUTERN x tsg 1899 hoffenheim | “HERZBLUT” VERSUS MONEY LIVE AT BETZENBERG

20:30 or 8:30 pm this evening my heart will beat to the ears. then there will be the kick off for the re-match FCK x damn hoppenheim. the 1st match hoppenheim won with 3:1. so we need a 2:0 or more and the hoppenheimer are not permitted to shoot a goal. when they will do we had to shoot 3 goals and so on. it will be very hard to win this called relegations-match to go back to 1st german football division called 1. BUNDESLIGA. but on BETZENBERG everything goes. FCK never won against this shit team with no tradition just pushed up by millions of mr hopp, owner of software ag. HERZBLUT vs. MONEY. i will be in KAISERSLAUTERN with my dad for supporting. pics | LTG


TANNER GOODS x WOODLANDS | EXCLUSIVELY INDIGO TANNER GOODS STUFF

what a nice found @ wonderful woodlands site: the INDIGO WOODLANDS promotion, watching at some really nice blue colored TANNER GOODS stuff. here is what WOODLANDS say about their promotion: “Spring time in the Northwest means we can look forward to a few of our favorite things, all in shades of blue. Fresh wild blueberries from the slopes of Mt. Adams, the clouds parting for periodic blue skies [a welcome sight this time of year.] or coming up on a clean copy of Donald Byrd’s Blackbyrd [Blue Note Records, 1975] at our local digging spot. In the spirit of blue, we’re excited to offer our Standard Belt and Key Lanyard in an Indigo Chromexcel colorway, exclusive at The Woodlands and both make for the perfect companion to a new pair of denim from 3sixteen, Tellason and Rogue Territory. Additionally for the next week,  we are offering a special Indigo package. Simply navigate to the Indigo collection page to purchase a brand new pair of denim,  and an Indigo Standard belt of your choice for a specially discounted package price.” i like this bklue leather stuff: is something different than all these tan, brown or black, redwood pieces. maybe UWE c/o AMTRAQ DISTRIBUTION will bring this navy stuff sometime to germany. pics | WOODLANDS
