new year, new music :-)

I had an ambitious plan today to do the 40-question year-end meme that's floating around... or at least an abbreviated version of it. However, in the so-called meantime I happened to discover my latest audio-visual crush... and so this is all I want to talk about right now. :-P I've been more than ready for some new inspiring music for quite a

As different as our opinions on many things might be, I continue to discover things we have in common :) I studied Farsi back in the early 90ies too - because I had fallen helplessly in love with a colleague who was a refugee from Iran. I never dared to confess my crush to her, but I managed to learn quite a bit of this wonderful language back then - and over the years forgot it again, mostly, but it has helped me with my Afghan refugees who had lived for years in Iran and spoke Dari, which is basically a dialect of Farsi.
I have met other Iranians over the year, both male and female, and the classical beauty many of them possess always leaves me breathless.

Well... my reasons for studying Persian culture weren't nearly as romantic. I simply picked one of the very few language studies available at my university that didn't include mandatory teaching practice (because there was exactly zero demand for teachers of Farsi... LOL). I had studied English before, and I dropped out midway through my third year due to a massive nervous breakdown (one of the reasons for which was precisely my obsessive fear of teaching). After a year of medical leave, I came back to university, but I was allowed to chose a field of study that wouldn't put so much pressure on me. It was "a waste of five years", according to my mother, since I didn't obtain a profession. But I also knew that, soon after getting my diploma, I was going to emigrate to the US, anyway - so it didn't seem to matter

Hmmm ... I don't think she is really similar to DCD?
And tbh the music is too triphop or R'n'B for my taste ...

Like I said, I think the only similarity between her and DCD might be that they both like making really strange, outlandish videos. ;-) So perhaps that's why YouTube thought I might be interested in checking her out... (And they were right!... LOL.)
