Ein bisschen Gold und SIlber, ein bisschen Glitzer Glitzer

"Habt ihr nichts zu fressen hier?
Ich will Pizza!
Deine Mutter hat gesagt
'trag nicht so viel dreck rein!'
Auf dem Foto in der Kuche sieht sie aus wie Katja Ebstein."

My favorite chorus from the most popular Deichkind song (Remmi Demmi (Yippie Yippie Yeah)). I blogged about them before, and posted the song that these lyrics are from. Well, I'm pleased to announce that I trekked 251km to Würtzberg and spent a night in a youth hostel (not the scary Eastern European kind; a really nice one!) to see them perform. And what a performance.

I think I can safely say that it was the best musical performance I've been to. There was so much energy coming out of these guys it was incredible. A rap/techno band that doesn't, I imagine, isn't much to see. However, resplendent in LED pyramid hats, and crowd-surfing rafts these guys took this warehouse by storm (and it was in this warehouse called the Posthalle (which is a post office warehouse-turned-music hall).

They even did a remix of their song Voodoo using the words from the song, but the beat from Justin Timberlake's Sexyback. Both songs came out in 2006 so it's anyone's guess if either inspired the other. Though Timberlake is much more popular throughout the world; and unless he's a fan of German techno/rap... I'm just sayin'.

Regardless, it was good. We even met this group of German people (who weren't shady!) that we partied with afterwords.

Now, I'm sitting in my room at 23:11 on a Saturday night because this shitty curry contraption I cooked made me sick! I'm supposed to go out to this Russian disco club called KGB (I've been there before, and loved it); but I had to cut out of that. It's been so hard to get a group together to go, that I'm gonna give myself until 23:30 to get better, and see if I want to go then; but I'm not betting money on it.



Tschüss!

Zuruck zu die Schule

Tomorrow I'm back off to school, and I can't wait. The winter break was fun at the beginning; but soon became boring mainly because most everyone was gone. However, I managed to finish alot of reading; but not so much homework otherwise. Whatever...

I also have a trip through Scandinavia planned in February or March. Goin' to see the family's old stompin' grounds all those generations ago.

If you like The Office, and you speak German, you'll love this: Stromberg

Well... I like the Office and speak German, I also like it, but I hate the main actor who plays Stromberg. I don't think he's subtle enough for the type of comedy it is. He can learn alot from Ricky Gervais, and Steve Carell. They also speak really fast.

Whelp! I'm off to bed. Gute Nacht!

Tschüss!
