Today, the 9. November, is a dark day for the German history. For example there where following events on this date:

* 1923 Hitler Putsch in Munich

* 1938 “Reichskristallnacht”

* 2001 “Anti-Terror-Gesetze”

Today, we got another one for the list. The Bundestag in Berlin decided about the so called “Vorratsdatenspeicherung” (saving all internet connection, fax, phone and mobile phone logs from the providers for at least 6 months).

Let’s all hope that the people at the Bundesverfassungsgericht are at least a little bit more sane than the people that where elected to lead this country.

I really enjoy the music of Wir sind Helden. There are just so many great songs of this band, it’s really hard for me to select a favourite.

However I selected one song for you today: “The Geek (Shall Inherit)” Booth the lyrics and the music of this song just feels *right*.

As always a link to the youtube video clip (fantastic live version).

BTW. The lyrics are in German, even if the song title is English.
