Busy January so happened to become a busy February.

This week’s Best Band Ever™ is Jacques Loussier trio. Turning classical music into jazz is, in my opinion, the ultimate tribute to the source material. And I think Bach only wins that way. His music was a little … robotic, even if still genius.

Here they play in Bach’s “own“ church in Leipzig, where a lot of his work was created.

Difficulty level: *I'm too young to die*.

The weather forecast for Wednesday is a new war in Europe.

Meanwhile, today there were several votes in Switzerland, two of them received a strong “no“ to support the side that first claimed that voting like that will hurt for the rich. At least one of them was most likely the opposite, but I think it’s the sign of the times - confusion and apathy are weaponised.

In a way, it feels like we’ve moved [Godwin’s law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s%5Flaw?ref=the-well-architected-cloud.com) from the internet to real life and used that too much so that the meaning of “hitler bad“ somehow got watered down. I suspect that will be the exact putin’s excuse, whether he decides to actually elaborate on the protection of the [Volksdeutsche](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksdeutsche?ref=the-well-architected-cloud.com#Internal%5Fpropaganda). Paraphrasing Orwell, if you don’t have an external enemy - you have to face your own problems.

Let’s try to reduce the madness.

Take care.
