Komisch, Arbeit gibt es doch genug - selbst Türken sollten sowas hinbekommen:

Erntehelfer
Niemand holt den Kohl vom Feld
Der Mangel an ausländischen Erntehelfern bleibt nicht folgenlos. Gemüse und Obst verfaulen auf den Feldern, die Ertragseinbußen machen den Bauern zu schaffen.

Classic Blues from Smithsonian Folkways
I figured that I would shake things up a little bit by posting this compilation of raw and gritty blues. Smithsonian Folkways, long revered for releasing amazing compilations of classic blues, folk, international and bluegrass, have really pulled out the stops here. Classic Blues is a diverse collection of timeless blues featuring Mississipi Delta, Chicago, St Louis and Southwest styles. Artists on here range from popular virtuosos such as Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Slim and Son House to lesser known dynamos such as Cat Iron, K.C Douglas and Vera Hall.
After listening to this record on repeat for three weeks now, I can’t seem to get these tunes out of my head. If you are new to blues music or are just interested in checking out some great toe- tapping tunes from some of the major trendsetters in blues music, you will love this collection. Highlights for me include the lyrically playful country blues number “Mule-Ridin Blues” by Big Bill Broonzy; the upbeat instrumental boogie-woogie piano classic by Memphis Slim called ” Joggie Woggie”; fun in the cotton-fields country-blues from Pink Anderson called “Boll Weevil”; and K.C. Douglas’s little known homage to the 1949 Mercury Ford automobile.
I have posted the tracklist below for the entire record. If you like this record, please follow the link below to purchase a copy. Please let me know what you think.

Lately, I have been on a psychedelic afro-beat kick. You will probably be into Monomono’s Dawn of Awareness if you dug the Chrissy Zebby Tembo from last week . However, their sound is more reminiscent of Fela Kuti’s syncopated afro-beat funk than Tembo’s afro-psych fuzz guitar sound.
Monomono- Dawn of Awareness
“Dawn of Awareness” was released on Capitol Records in 1974 to little critical acclaim. Friday Jumbo, the leader of Monomono was a member of Fela’s group before he joined forces with vocalist Joni Hasstrup and bassist Kenneth Okulolo to form Monomono. The opening track entitled “Awareness Is What You Need” really nails the Fela afro-beat sound while still creating it’s own sound. “Ipade Aladun” is the longest track on here at just over eight minutes and it really cooks with soulful vocals laid over a bed of funky organs and keyboards. Lots of breaks and weird sound effects for the beat junkies on this track alone. At just under five minutes, “Tire Loma Da Nigbehin” is the epitome of Clift-notes for afro-beat with complex syncopated basslines, repetitive vocal refrains and incendiary organs. This one says it’s “Out of Stock” on Dusty Groove’s website, so I’m pretty sure it’s out-of-print. Enjoy!

Für die Hausarbeit ist das Tragen von Lockenwicklern natürlich unersetzlich. Die Rölleckes schützen das Haar und die Frisur vor den Anfeindungen übermäßiger körperlicher Aktivität und dem glanzvernichtenden Säurefraß anständiger Putzmittel. Im Allgemeinen sollte dem Mann der Anblick der Lockenwickler durch das Tragen eines Kopftuches erspart werden. Jedenfalls, wenn man seine Putzarbeit in Ruhe zu Ende bringen will.
Tags: MeinungSehr geehrte Frau Kordes, natürlich kenne ich mich in der Kindererziehung aus. Ich habe umfangreiche pädagogische Kenntnisse im Kloster zur heiligen Agnes erwerben dürfen. Dabei wurde von unserer Äbtissin darauf geachtet, daß bei den vielfach erforderlichen erzieherischen Maßnahmen ein gesundes Maß nicht überschritten wurde. Die angesprochenen Arbeitszeiten sollten insofern kein Problem darstellen, da mein Arbeitstag derzeit um 4:30 beginnt und um 22:00 Uhr endet.
