Today, I started something, I should have done ages ago. I bought "High Fidelity" (by Nick Hornby) and started reading it again. It's fucking amazing and so full of wisdom. Just after a few pages, the heart-broken world becomes a better one. Probably, most people know that book. For those Germans who don't, I've added a little summary:
"High Fidelity" ist die Geschichte des Plattenladenbesitzers Rob, der von seiner Freundin verlassen wird. Fortan teilt er das Leben in Hitlisten ein, um es in den Griff zu bekommen. "High Fidelity" begründete die Popliteratur der 90er Jahre. Darf man mit Leuten befreundet sein, deren Plattensammlung hauptsächlich aus Tina-Turner-Alben besteht? Kann man eine Frau lieben, deren bevorzugte Band die Simple Minds sind? -Von seiner Freundin verlassen kann Rob sich endlich mit den wahrhaft wichtigen Fragen des Lebens auseinandersetzen, wieder ungestört in der eigenen Wohnung rauchen, er überlegt, wie wohl sein nächster One Night Stand aussehen wird und sortiert erstmal seine Plattensammlung. Kurz: Er genießt die Rückkehr ins Königreich der Singles. Aber die Freude ist nur von kurzer Dauer... (Tonspion.de)
For those Internationals who don't know it: Google it! Or better: Read it!
Rob, the main character, is really crazy about telling his TOP5 of everything you can imagine. Split-ups for example. Or Music. Especially music, as he's working in a record shop.
While thinking about the book, I started thinking about the music that helped me. And I want to post these songs here. It's not really a TOP5. Not even a TOP10. Just a list of songs, somehow important to me those days. Don't care about the ranking. It's definitely not sorted by importance. Those who know the stories may recognize some things in the lines. You might like some of the songs and don't like others. And you may remember them, if you need to. I would be glad, if I had helped someone. But I really hope you don't need to remember them.
