Yep, in this nice music business you'll never know who will be the next one backstabbing you... perhaps an old friend who can't accept he's not in the race anymore? Record labels suck, all of them, without exception that I know.
I'm not exactly in a good mood today: too much to think, too little sleep. I wanna go where nobody can find me.

España 0 - Portugal 1
Si es que ya lo veía venir... panda de memos, no ganarle a Portugal, que son una extensión de Extremadura...
En fin, voy a darme una vuelta por la red a ver si hay algún país de los que ganan a algo que ofrezca nacionalidad (se me ocurre ahora Andorra, San Marino, Lichtenstein...). Que asco...

España 1 - Grecia 1
Ay, joder... que putada. Hemos jugado mejor, pero esto es lo que hay. Ahora toca acojonarse el domingo contra Portugal...
American Frogball
...also Leute, viel wichtiger als ein 1:0 im Spanien-Russland Spiel ist doch wohl ein anderes großes Sportereigniss dieser Tage. Schließlich hat unser aller Lieblingsteam Berlin Thunder zum dritten mal den World Bowl in unsere wunderschöne Haupstadt geholt!!! Und das nach einer Saison mit nur einem verlorenem Spiel. Noch besser kann das wahrscheinlich nur unser zweitliebstes Footballteam, die wunderbaren Berlin Adler Girls, die haben schon mal eine Saison gespielt ohne einen einzigen Gegenpunkt! Also, wenn das nicht rockt dann weiß ich auch nicht weiter....

Spandau & Bike Day gigs
Hi folks... I know a few days have gone, but who cares anyway? Friday was a very funny day, we were playing at JWD in Spandau, in a tiny island far away from all sign of civilazation, but it's a very cool club. The name JWD stands for Janz Weit Draussen, Berlin dialect for "Way Out There", and it truly is way out there... thanks god we had the navigation system and then Timo, who actually lives in Spandau and knows it all!
We came to the club and first thing you notice is how extremely clean and tidy everything is. It's a real nice surprise for a change, normally all clubs have this "sticky" and dirty feeling, but not this one, hats up! And the backstage area was also ver clean and we had a lot of space, but really didn't use it very much. We rather stayed at the bar, having a beer, or two...
Friday was also the birthday of our manager Ricardo and of our friend Diana, responsible for a few cool things for this band I'll tell you another day. Anyway, we had some drinks, we had some laughs and then üplayed the gig, which went pretty well really. Especially funny were the fog machines and the ventilators, I liked them really, but Jens wasn't exactly thrilled at them (and the strobe lights) as he got the whole fog the whole time... it's hard to please a drummer! We did a punk rendition of a birthday song we all know and had some more beers.
Later that night I met Diana and a lot of other Spanish and German friends at the Flower Power (one of the coolest places in Berlin, believe me!) to further celebrate her 20th birthday and get pissed in the meantime. Same procedure as every year.
The sunday gig at the Bike ay festival was a rather bizarre appearance, all around us were old Öko-Futzis (German not-so-nice term for all things green) with their sandals, socks (!), riding their bikes, complaining about how loud we were and telling us we were using way too much energy and that it was bad for the environment. Ha! Totally annoying, but then there was a lot of other people who didn't come to point their fingers but actually to listen to the bands, and we gave them what they wantwed: some serious frog'n roll as they deserved! Yeah! A few people came to us after the gig to tap on our shoulders, which I must admit is a very cool thing. Maxim was filming and taking pictures so you might see them soon in the website. Poor Jens couldn't play Titanium as his left hand was bruised and did hurt a lot, but Timo and me didn't understand him and played it anyway, so he was a little pissed after the gig. As said, it's not easy to please drummers, Sorry Jens! :o)
All in all it was a good day, and now it's time to go to bed! See you!!

Stone Deaf Forever
Yep, like the Mötörhead song. Today we had rehearsal and I plugged in my brand new Orange 2x12 box for the first time. LOUD AS A FUCK! I'm still trying to hear my own thoughts, man. It sounds really really good.
I bought it last Saturday from a small but very fine shop in Leverkusen, just before attending a wedding of a friend. The shop guy looked pretty amused seeing me coming in "wedding dress" with tie and all. And then me telling I came all the way from Berlin! Ha! that was fun! The shop, in case anybody wants to know is called Real Guitars, and is highly recommendable.
Anyway, it sounded cool today, but I must turn it down somehow, otherwise we all will end up like the good old Ludwig Van.
Jens also told an extremely weird story today involving a palm tree, a window and a near-fire... maybe he'll write it down sometime.
Oh, and almost forgot it. Be sure to check out Brussels if you have the chance to, it's a very cool city, though the weather is pathetic. Great beers as well, I've just had one here at home and I'm starting to feel it now askcjXCJSyus
