Mr. 2Ties

The rock's easy. But the roll is another thing.

About Me


Mr. 2ties

The walkin' conscience not only of Rock but of Roll as well
Though wearing 2 ties became my trademark over the years, i must admit, that this was not my own, but the brilliant invention of Wazmo Nariz. But the ones I wear are not the fat polyester ones he wore (wears?) Wazmo where are you?.
I'm also working for a Radio Station, mainly as keeper of the true, the beautiful and the good in Rock'n'Roll: http://www.radioeins.de/_/team/seite_jsp/key=cast_970.html
Once I was top of the poll of the most uncorteous record salesmen ("High Fidelity"-Style, in Berlin (West), but I'm much more soft-gloved these days (musicwise, at least)!
If it comes to collecting nice and "needless" accessories or paraphernalia, I'm a real diehard case. Apart from 45s (every now and then you need a "new" 45 to keep you alive), I also collect "Animated Motion Lamps" (yes the Niagara Falls, forrest fires et al.), but one of my biggest passions (for quite some time now) is "FEVER" (yes, the song!).

or swing your hips to THE SHAKE; THE SHIMMY, THE ROACH, THE CONTINENTAL, THE LIMBO, THE BUG, THE MASHED POTATO, THE POPEYE, THE LOCOMOTION, THE HUCKLEBUCK or THE STOMP,
