There was a time when ringtones were important. At first, they simply identified the few who actually owned cell phones, before the possibility emerged of distinguishing oneself by choosing a cool ringtone. In May 2014, the Doofe Musik (Stupid Music: Songs for Dreaming, Sedation and Forgetting) festival took place at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) in Berlin. As part of the HKW's Anthropocene Project, the festival focused on escapism and the special function of music when retreating from reality. HKW curator Detlef Diederichsen and Sound Studies Lab principal investigator Holger Schulze decided to focus not only on music that music-lovers usually hate, e.g. Schlager music, easy listening, light Jazz; but also on ringtones. The audio logo of Deutsche Telekom has been part of Germany's mobile phone culture from the very beginning, so it acted as a starting point from which to question the usual conceptual understanding of ringtones. Using Christian Kellersmann's idea of the Pocket Symphony, Diederichsen and Schulze invited ten artists to come up with adaptations of Telekom's audio logo. The results were performed for the first time during Stupid Music and once again in October 2014, when most of the recordings on this album were made. The short motif, as simple and unforgettable as it is, is ideal musical material. Everyone knows it; everyone has some sort of connection to it, and these ten different versions open up the most varied possibilities for associations. It is time to take the ringtone seriously again. As the most reduced yet most widely available form of music in the world, it contains enormous unrealized potential. Includes tracks by John Kameel Farah, Ana Maria Rodriguez, Zeitblom, Eliav Brand, Guido Mobius, Juliana Hodkinson, Alex Paulick, Ari Benjamin Meyers, Adi Gelbart, and Patric Catani.

sweet picture book read
Format: Hardcover
I LOVE DAD WITH THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR is a sweet book of love, written from the perspective of a child to their father. The book uses imagery from other Eric Carle books alongside simple language to describe the connection between father and child, such as "Dad... You are easy to talk to... and you're fun to play with." Ellipses break up sentences across multiple pages, with animals that suit each phrase pictured as parent and child.
What I loved: This is a cute and simple read that would be a great gift for a new father or father of a young child, as they can share it together. The short length of the book works well for infants and toddlers, as each page only has a few words. The illustrations are simple, borrowing from past Eric Carle books to maintain his style, and showing the animals most related to the text (for instance, on the page with "but you're still cool" it features polar bears) on a white background. This is a simple style that will work well for little ones. The very hungry caterpillar appears on each page, almost hidden and could make for a fun and easy search for toddlers.
Final verdict: Overall, this is a sweet picture book that would make a great gift for new fathers or fathers with young children.

Daily devotional with ease.
Format: Imitation Leather
This is a great little devotional book for men. I bought two, one for me and one for my son. I keep mine at my desk at work and read it each morning and I enjoy the insightful quotes and verses that help me start my day. It truly only takes about a minute or two to read through everything and the verses are actually written out on the page with the reference. I know there are a lot of devotionals out there that you can select from, but I like this one because it’s small and compact and acutely directed towards men. The small size is perfect, the price is excellent, and the daily devotionals are spot on.

Easy and fun to read! Cute and small, easy to travel with
Format: Imitation Leather
I’m obsessed with this book. Each devotion really does only take a minute to read. It’s compact so I leave it in my truck but sometimes I’ll bring it in and keep it by my bed. There’s a book mark ribbon that keeps your place if you get off track of your days and you can’t remember where you left off. And I also like HOW the messages are explained. I grew up in church and I’m always like “hmm that makes sense now that it’s put that way!” lol

The Answer
Format: Imitation Leather
I purchased this book of Devotions as I was looking for a guide that would be simple to follow and compact. It seemed like I always was making excuses for not being as diligent with my faith. It was easy to tell my self that I could not keep up with God or travel with a guide as it was too inconvenient or bulky. From a content and simplicity to stay focussed, this was the source I needed. From a convenience standpoint, it could not be any better. I had tried apps and digital versions previously and it just wasn't the same. Holding a book and leafing through the pages just feels so much better to me. A definite must for those of you looking for a impactful, yet small and convenient way to continue the journey.
