Vidiot: Guano Apes “Lord Of The Boards”
January 19, 2012 2:00 PM 
The first track on my playlist is from the German band “Guano Apes”. According to their official website “Rock’n’Roll has a language all of its own, where “musical differences” means more money, mo’ problems and “pursuing solo projects” translates as can’t stand the sight of each other. It’s a high octane cocktail which can explode at any moment. But with a tweak here and a touch of enlightenment there, the chemical balance can be restored with astounding results. We wouldn’t want it any other way. Take the emotion out of music and you are left with silence. Well, it’s about to get loud“. Their song “Lord of the boards” is usually the first song I hit play to on my first run of the day. The lyrics follow a story about a snowboarder who encounters a snowboarder of the “third kind”. While on the slopes they discover a little alien who also enjoys falling down hills. The video features the band rocking out in a gondola and performing some minor stunts while hitting the slopes.
