I'm coming back to Berlin
Also: my movie log, (daily) music reommendations and Elden Ring DLC
Hey there, fantastic people! How’s everyone holding up? How’s life treating you these days? Hope you’re all doing great and still charged up to tackle your daily objectives.

No complaints here - feeling really grateful for the opportunities coming my way.

We’re still going strong on TikTok and Instagram Reels with our (almost) daily music quiz show, “Songquest.” If you haven’t already, please consider following our channels, and it would mean a lot to me if you could spread the word to your family and friends. Thanks in advance!
Additionally, I’ve launched a new series on my personal channels where I recommend music for any occasion. One day, it might be the best Tiny Desk Concert performances, while the next, I’ll share the perfect tunes for a 3 am drive. Feel free to check it out!
If you’re interested, here’s the link to the Spotify playlist, which I update regularly.

That’s why I believe a combined section that encompasses everything that fuels our creativity is more fitting.
The WWDC is just around the corner, and as a tech enthusiast, I’m eagerly anticipating what Apple has in store for us. There’s a flurry of rumors circulating on Twitter and the internet, but why not take a peek for yourself?

I’ve recently switched back to Spotify from YouTube Music for my music needs. While transferring my playlists, I stumbled upon tracks I used to love but had forgotten about. There’s something special about rediscovering lost songs.
Lately, I’ve been immersing myself in 60s and 70s American Rock, enjoying bands like Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, The Marshall Tucker Band, Steve Miller Band, and America.
However, two albums currently holding immense influence over me are:

I was absolutely thrilled by the announcement of the Elden Ring DLC. As a huge fan of the game, I’m eagerly anticipating its release. Fortunately, the initial trials have received positive reviews, so we can all eagerly await this masterpiece arriving later this month!
