#wordpress xpost

I had no intention of letting it go this long between posts. Alas, the past several months have been an absolute whirlwind that left little time for writing. Little, but not none, but I spent that little time on fiction rather than blogging. Now that things have settled a tad, I’m not quite sure what to blog. But then Duck Prints Press announced this giveaway over on Storygraph, and I figured…

Happy birthday, Christoph!

At Sputnik Spring Break, Jennifer Rostock held up a large “W” for the camera – could this be the first letter of the name for this year’s new album?

The above photo is from Ich pfeif’ drauf, ich pfeif’ mir lieber noch n’ Sekt rein.

Jennifer posted a shot on Facebook and Instagram of herself during today’s photoshoot, and a few photos and videos on Snapchat. Unfortunately, I don’t have a way to download the videos, but you can find the Facebook/Instagram photo and one from her Snapchat below:

#gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 20%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

EDIT: I added a photo from Christoph’s Snapchat, as well as a screenshot from a video Jennifer posted and a photo from her Instagram.

The music video for the original edit of ‘Schlaflos,’ from the album of the same title, was released two years ago today, directed by Wolf & Lamm (who are actually Joffrey Jans and Kai Kurve). It was the fourth actual music video out of the five released for the album; there were also two videos with different versions of songs from the album, one featuring the Stromlos version of ‘Phantombild‘ and the other featuring a Tanz, Los! version of ‘Schlaflos’.

The video is one continuous shot, and Jennifer stated during an interview that it was also cold, so both the length of the take and the temperature were her least favorite parts of the shoot.

Jennifer Rostock’s online shop has switched yet again, this time to LiveYourMusic.com, which redirects to Impericon.com. Unfortunately, it only ships to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (damn!), but there are a bunch of new products. Of course, some of the products from before the move are still there, including the Warme Füße socks and Refugees Welcome t-shirt.

You can find the new shop here.

The new products are listed below the cut.

As of today (23 April 2016), there are officially less than three (3) weeks until the start of 2016’s Festival Summer for Jennifer Rostock! It starts off with Sputnik Spring Break in Halbinsel Pouch, Germany, on 13 May, and so far, ends on 19 August with Frequency Festival in St. Pölten, Austria. All of the upcoming dates can be viewed here; more will be added as they’re announced, as will specific days the band will play.

In related news, Jennifer stated on Snapchat that she liked the bikini she wore last year for festivals, and may do that again this year, although she is working on a stage outfit. Whether that means picking out a good bikini or not, I can’t be sure. (In all honesty, I didn’t catch all of what she’d said, nor did I ever figure out how to save other people’s Snapchat stories.)
