Willowtree in Emmerich

I hereby give you a confused compilation from Emmerich ;)

Written during sound check at Emmerich:

I am currently backstage at the festival area. I have decided that everyone in here will have to listen to Jazz from my laptop. People here are really nice, it seems like they want us to be drunk on stage. They have offered us beer five times by now.

Hotel Herrlich in Emmerich

First night when we arrived to the Hotel in Emmerich it was empty. The door is open to the hotel, and not a soul working there!

another brother treating the keys right... good night.

up with olle creating and recording.. it's fun, a lot of fun. i always tend to think that i'll never be able to outdo previous events. songs that is. but, fortunately i'm always incorrect. good for me, good for the band.

this night's new creation sounds something like 70s-groove-am-the-autobahn type of music. cool. olle really hit the right keys on the wurtz this time. i myself handled the guitar. songwriting is fun. especially in twos.

only downside is of course that we have to get up in 3 hours. BUT that is sooo worth it.
speaking of the autobahn, that's were we'll spend the day tomorrow. on our way to emmerich.

now time for bed

27th is the shit

almost forgot.
another pulse raising thing is that it happens to be my birthday on the same day as the open-air festival. hopefully this will be a nice get together for us all.

now i'm off for yet another morning meeting with joel and olle, today at the simon dash strasse in our neighbourhood of friedrischain.

excitement

ahh, tomorrow is getting really close.

nice.

see, at 10 o'clock i need to pick up the rental for the trip to emmerich. fun, i'm looking forward to it already.

today we're gonna go thru some newer tracks, all for the purpose of making them justice on friday eve. also exiting is the fact that since johan and adde is in stockholm at the moment, we can't do it all together, but apart. this is a new way of doing it for us, but i must say it's really tickling my musician nerves in a good way. we've all been hanging out in the 'ol rehearsal room for ages thruout history so we kinda know what to do by now. hence excitement.

post-party berlin life

after last night's party night. i got up at 16.00 in the afternoon. after the arising some of us felt like breakfast and started to prepare accordingly. took a while to get out of the door but at 17.00 we had taken ourselves across the street. at the place we immediately scanned the menu for breakfast. now to the interesting part. when the waiter kindly let us know that breakfast was no more (only till 17.00) we were a bit mad about that they could treat us that way. i mean, of course we are the the customers and thus always right.
well well, we ended up with some good food and could instead sit and reflect on whether we are just spoiled berliners that demand breakfast possibilities the whole day or if we're just... well, spoiled berliners demanding optional breakfast into oblivion.

same same

maybe the spoiled needs a trip back to stockholm to remember normal breakfast hours.

In the last minute

So here it is, my third blog post. Made in the middle of the night just because I have too. I feel ashamed and will try to be better this coming week.

Three really nice things in Berlin at the moment:

1. The “Wunchteller” at the Libanese place “Babel” on Kastanienalle. Costs 7 Euro. Its hard to describe how it taste. But if I would have had a great Libanese grandmother, she would probably make food like that.

2. Bar 25 any warm summer night.

3. The skyline from the terrace at Week-End. Damn.

Yet another week gone by.

just another berlin night

at the moment we're waiting for better times.
that is, olle, jim and i waiting for this typical berlin night to begin.
pre-party starts at 1.30am
our swedish restlessness makes us not wanna wait for that long though.
so we just decided to leave early.
bye bye
