hey folks!
just came back to london after 2 lovely days in brighton, where i went to say goodbye to all my friends and all my favourite spots and venues. and i have to say it worked out really fine.
yesterday was a nice and sunny day and i spent a lot of my time at the seafront.
at night i went to a gig at the concorde 2 and we saw two hilarious acts i hereby definitely want to recommend: brakes and buck 65.
brakes were support and playing some really nice straight-forward punky rock, without being too arty-farty as a lot of the other english bands at the moment. very energetic and i think they'll publish their debut album in a couple of weeks - listen to it!!!
the main performer - buck 65 - was just unbelievably good. i wouldn't call his sound hip-hop, as it's much more than that. he does a one-man-show which is very funny and all he needs therefore is a turntable and some samplers. his lyrics are so weird, absurd and utterly funny i stood there concentrating to understand the very last bit and in between i almost laughed my head off. the whole thing - to come to an end now - reminded me of beck's odelay period (if anybody remembers his life shows back then: much rougher than today) and sometimes his voice has a strange resemblance with tom waits. but all in all this is just a bad attempt of me to describe something you should actually listen to yourself...
today i had another relaxing day at the sea and around brighton and a nice last night at the prince albert.
ok, i think this are enough news for today, i finally managed to post my old e-mail to germany from the last 8 months (thanx to cordula for sending me those i thought that were lost!). just to fill up this blog and as a nostalgic view back!
ok. that's it for today, have fun and dance in the sun (if there is no sun then dance to get some; i call it sun-dance and i believe it works)
see you...
