saturday night, allright!

at night after filming i was absolutly exhausted but couldn't find reast so i started drinking aguardiente (booz) on my own, deciding to go out and drunk very quick. victor picked me up and we stopped at a bar in bello drinking with some nice but very very fishy looking guys. mafiosis are so easy to recognize: 70s busynessmen kinda like hair cuts, button down shirts and (of course) moustaches.what a clichee. they payed and wanted me to drink beer with them, but i told them columbian beer is for pussies and forced them to drink booz. i'm the guest. equals chief. hahaha.
then we picked up catherine, vitor's date, pretending at their parents being sober. drank more in the car, listening to to horrific bad but very loud eurotrash dancefloor techno on our way to a place they called "very special."
it was a huge bar/restaurant rave kinda thing on a finca, where you can rent horses to ride. very noble. very crowded. very loud. people dancing. a mariachi entertainer singing in a mic dancing and jumping from table to table. in between all of this cowboys riding tricky and techy through the bar on horses. absurd i thought. thought i should get nuts or more drunk. voted for liquor and ordered another bottle of rum.
somehow victor's friend gabriel appeared. gabriel calls himself an artist and bores me everytime i see him to show me his work. in fact he's building waterfalls. anyway. we drink and he starts kidding (well i thought so) about safety, parras and AUC. and i'm mumbling like: so you into this, well you better eat my fuck! but he does'n understand me by the volume of the music and goes on like: you know, it's full of AUC guys here, not the great bosses, but ... thats why it's so safe here. this are very noble persons, real patriots, caring about their country. .... i was getting very pissed, but was unable to speak proper and decided that best and meanest to do is to steal his bottle of aguardiente and drink it on my own. a little moment of revenge at last. (hmmm ... well it made sense at that moment, i thought).
meanwhile victor tried to get on his date. a couple of days before he told me men would still have the word in columbia. they could do what they want and women better listen. but right then it looked like victor'll never get laid, nor he ever would have the word. nice i thought, columbian women are the greatest (and my mom's the best).
at home i still couldn't sleep and sat totally drunk and wasted on the balcony watching the night trying to reflect the day while i listend to throbbing gristle. i kept singing from the roof top of the convent over the village of copacabana like spreading words: discipline! discipline! i want some discipline in here! nothings farer or fits less in here then throbbing gristle. ... nichts ist fehler am platz.

yyys remix and new rapture record

I just got coffee served. Needless to say how awesome it is. I mean even the instant coffee tastes better over here than your daily lavazza stuff. I´m still all about that diplo remix of yyys gold lion. It´s not that new but if you don´t have it already, get it. I guess diplo will become for 2006 something like justice or phones was for 2005. And by the way: The Rapture is in the studio recording right now. The new record is being produce by … hold breath … Paul Epworth, Ewan Pearson and Danger Mouse. Is it cool or way to hype? Anyway I´m excited, specially to hear them again without that DFA Sound, though i´m still DFA fan.
A new live video can be watched here

ann et moi. jonas je te. 8mm monday 12th



slayer, slayer, helloween! doro pesch is the metalqueen! ann et moi spin 8mm monday 12th again. starting about 10 30 as always.

i guess i should post from time to time something different than just our dj gigs but i was kinda stressed out and working hard on inventing and developing the new contemporary drug for contemporary times. it´s still top secret but i can make a little anouncement how it´s going to be called. it´s name will be: "the drug".

beside that a very certain thing to know is that wodka is absolute out and korn is the new shit.

ehrlich, mild und klar. das ist es was kenner an den qualitäts spirituosen von landwirth´s schätzen. ob zum bier, in geselliger runde oder zum abschluss einer gelungenen mahlzeit. ein landwirth´s schmeckt immer. auf ihr wohl.

new chris cunningham video for the horrors, mskrft work on you video

i just survived the illest weekend. including raving on the mediengruppe telekommander & deichkind float on the loveparade and breaking my own neck by wildest headbanging on whomadewho & uffie on same days vice party. ... i still need some time to reflect about this. my ears are still beeping and my neck ... it really still hurts.
but until then here are some actually really nice video clips:



sheena is a parasite by the horrors directed by cunningham, which is truly not that huge thing as you might expect, but it´s just ... really good. actually the more i watch it the more i like it. same as the horrors, who also played vice 1st aniversary party. but i missed them.



mstkrft - work on you. though daft punk did something very similar with interstella 555, you´ll always get me with robots.

the broken hearts club today, mek obaam tomorrow, the rapture and yyys mp3, gondry trailer

so, squirrrrrl was over and we spended the last three days watching the whole last season of six feet under. boy, all i can say is .... wow! ... fuck! ... wow! stunning. speachless. still mindfucked. claire fisher, i love you. honestly, i can´t imagine any better tv series ever.



anyway, here´s a pic from deichkind rocking the float at loveparade.




ok something about going out. tonight is the dark side of the broken hearts club. the broken hearts club is an awesome monthly thrown party of people playing there favourite love songs. regularly it´s thrown at this kinky thai whorehouse called my thai, but tonights it´s taking place at this goth bar called last cathedral on schoenhauser allee next to white trash. come over.



while spinning, mrks and me are becoming more and more like an old couple. so it doesn´t happen that often that markus puts on a song making me "wow, what is this?!" but so he did last time, by spinning mek obaam. mek obaam is a berlin based singer songwriter sounding somehow folk. somehow beatles. i don´t know. but it´s awesome and he´ll play kaffee burger tomorrow, friday 28th and i highly recomend it. check out his myspace site or his regular site and listen to different universes on the player.

this big stereo posted some nice mp3 for download this week.

the rapture - "get myself into it" mp3

yeah yeah yeahs - "cheated hearts" (peaches remix x2) mp3



and if you still don´t feel like going out in the sun, the trailer for michel gondry´s last flick the science of sleep is online, starring gael garcia bernal and charlotte gainsbourg. i saw it at last berlinale film festival. it´s wonderful.
and finally a documentary about an issue that had to be done someday is going to be screened. let´s see if hardcore will finally go mainstream in the second half of this decade or is still being stucked as it was last. watch the trailer for american hardcore by paul rachman.

anja, mrks et mois birthday bash, july 9th!

drink bacardi like it´s your g-tag! anja (elektrofrau) from schnell und dreckig, mrks and me celebrate our birthdays and italy´s destruction at 8mm bar tomorrow. watch the final there or come over afterwards. we all will spin, same as ann and angus andrew. reason enough? ganz genizzle!
and by the way: return to cookie mountain by tv on the radio is going to be the second best album of the year. read the pitchfork review and get it! not that new though great and still available is the unreleased dry drunk emperor mp3 free download on touch and go.

liars, drum´s not dead



Currently I´m listening over and over again to latest liars record drum´s not dead. If you don´t know or got it yet, buy it, don´t download it. It´s worth. Not only cause of the great graphic design (I have to confess not liking it in the beginning, but loving it now), which is a visual augenschmaus related to mexican technoflyers (Designed by band member Julian Gross, who did also most of the yeah yeah yeahs designs). It also contains a dvd with 3 videoclips for each song (equals 36) directed by band members Angus Andrews, Julian Gross and by formerly Bauhaus student, award winning filmmaker and glitz dj Markus Wambsganss. Also Markus´ clip for liars´ “the other side of mount heart attack” was in my eyes one of the greatest clips in 2005.
There´s so much to write about liars´ work and transformation from hippest dance post punk to avantgard experimental whatever, about consistently being inconsistent and surprise expectations with innovations beyond hype. It´s a record to listen over and over again to get used to and to discover all hidden elements making you wow. But better read the pitchfork review. Or check out liarsliarsliars.com or their myspace site to listen to their tunes. Meantime on my trip through Columbia i´m looking forward meeting some indios, playing them this record to see what happens.

spring is purple



currently i´m listening all day to the zombies´ "odessey and oracle" and prince´s "purple rain". though so different two of the greatest records ever made, two of the greatest records to make your spring. and according to this dj katzenzungen just mailed me two links that made my day. worth to be shared.

probably one of the greatest shows ever played. james brown, michael jackson & prince on one stage


prince live tv performance

also great though i´m not anymore into mash ups: purple reign. bangers no anthems!
