Playing in Voxtrot
, Swimming, Nightclubs, Techno, the Sixties. Fonts are really key.
I'd like to meet:
Judee Sill. Paul McCartney. Robert Fraser. Your Buckaroo. Stevie in First Class. Anyone in Berlin who wants to help me achieve my eventual musical climax, which I fully expect to last for the rest of my life. Or at least somebody that will take German classes with me. So far all I have is, "Zwei astra, bitte." Not very extensive, and it only works in and around Hamburg, as I understand. But that's alright with me, if I have to get my language courses at the Golden Pudel Club, so be it.
