If a messy pile of cables is a Kabelsalat, does that mean a messy pile of playing cards is a Blattsalat?

This time finally again more jazzy things in here, but there is by far much more, like...
- #summer pop from #Chile
- Retro #Cosmic #Beats
- Top Notch Jazzy #HipHop
- #Beatmaker stuff
- #VHS style Garage #Pop
- #electrofunk-y #BonkWave or maybe not
- Groovy #Dub
- a #140 #Halftime Banger

- hefty #Punk
- brandnew 60s Garage #RockNroll
- dark Berlin #Shoegaze
- prepared #Piano music
An lot of this is released under the #CreativeCommons license, and a similar amount can NOT be found on #Sporify and the likes. I'll explain, why artist decide against Spotify more and more. The flag of the Fediverse is waved by @axwax@chaos.social like being bonkers ;).
Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in!
And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
Playlist + manuscript at Sunday here. Can't provide answers during the show or directly afterwards because the show is preproduced while at the same time I'll be CJing (yes!) at the c-base Berlin with two portable cassette players and a Kaosspad. For free.
So: CU all on Saturday - either at c-base or Radio Irrtum! . Info + answers Sunday then.

Yeah: Da next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will air this Saturday, 2025/06/07, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz / DAB+ K7D around #Berlin + worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about that #GermanLanguage - it's about the #music!
Music which this time may lean more than usual on the electronic side, as there will be…
- raw 'n also #glitchy #Pop
- #Demoscene #Garage
- free flowing #Acid
- swedish #Electro
- scratchy, breaky #Bass
- experimental #Electronica
- #industrial in various ways (#breakbeats, noise, #spokenWord)
- hardcore #punk
- even nature #soundscapes
Among others there will be #CreativeCommons music, & of course we'll have a bunch of #FediverseArtists in it as well. So shout outs to @sonicwalker@mastodon.green, @h0ffman@mas.to who was kind enough to let me have a (I think) #exclusive version (!) of one of his latest tracks, and especially to @rktic@abraum.social, like H0ffman an absolute Demoscene legend, who granted me the absolute pleasure of a deep diving interview about a lot of aspects of making music (right) with him.
I will post a link to the almost 40 min running #interview I've enhanced into #multimedial dimensions (no kidding – was more work than anticipated, but also fun) alongside the show within this threat here, when the time is right. It also has English subtitles (only here with editorial remarks).
And then there is that educational section about sex, witches and #ringModulation. Just saying. I mean - it's almost 2 min long, complete with music examples - where can you get secret knowledge about the inner works of the universe in under 2 min? Yes - at Radio Irrtum!
Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in!
Playlist + manuscript + interview link afterwards here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

Year 10 GCSE German have been working on presentations to send to our partner school, @emmynoetherschule
As an American, I think the real German test should be something like, "Can you get an actual German to speak German with you (instead of English)?"
But anyway, YES! I passed my German exam at the Goethe Institut! #german #germanlanguage #deutsch

Really enjoying the German science fiction time travel themed show 'Dark’. I'm using it to learn German. I'm in the middle of season two. So far I've collected 1500+ words. #LanguageLearning #German #GermanLanguage #ScienceFiction #scifi #tv
The German mock speaking exams start tomorrow until Thursday. This is your chance to have a practice at the real thing which takes place in just under a month. Make the most of this opportunity and try your best! Viel Glueck!
@amapanda you’ve probably seen this but I think you’ll get a kick out of it.
Just 1 week to go until the German mock speaking exams take place! Keep revising those topic answers and spend at least 10 minutes every day on Language Gym!
Of course, if you really want to go all #QI on this, English people who wrote about Kant and Hegel got this from Kant and Hegel themselves. "an und für sich" is idiomatic German.
Why are cars always asking, "why?"
Because they go vroom vroom (pronounced varum varum).
Oh no, the unstoppable force known as the German language has struck again! Apparently, when your app's metaphor is a speed bump, German gives you *eighteen* different ways to crash and burn your website
. Sure, blame the entire linguistic history of Germany for your inability to handle long words, that's sound engineering!
