Howdy neighbor. Thanks for the electronic friend request. I'm sure we'll probably run into another at a future show. I'll be looking for Alf.

It was good. There will always be another. Unfortunately I was Super hammered and more unfortunate still I came to run into Spencer and the gang outside. I talked to them beligerently for about 20 minutes. Now, Needless to say I am still reeling in embarrassment. So as far as I know thats all you missed. Ha!

It's a trip, huh? I wish other fictional bands would spring to life... I blame the Gorillaz personally. Or maybe Archie. You hear the original score? The Sex Bob-omb instrumentals on there are pretty rad.

"Rockers East Vancouver" was like my own personal themesong of the summer of 2009. especially the middle part with all the superbadass pauses, it's like OMGOMG erection. <3

I miss you too!!! You're like one of my biggest inspirations nowadays. Sometimes I see you're listening to something I don't know and the next moment I try to download that. But I have to say I'm getting loads of bands from Last.fm too at the moment. All the stuff they're recommending: awesome!! And the guy I'm dating now is also kind of a music geek, I guess. I was talking about bands I'm listening to at the moment - Coconut Records, Matt & Kim, Bishop Allen etc. - and he's into that too. By the way, what I wanted to tell you for quite some time: I'm gonna see The Thermals in August! They're coming to Vienna!!

Wow, that SXSW thing sounds awesome! I think that concept is much better than the usual festival stuff. Not as centralist. And about that movie: Well, I hadn't heard of that book before you told me about it. And I have never heard anyone else speak about it. But then, I don't study German Literature but prefer to look at international literature. Have I told you that I'm reading Joyce at the moment? I'm really running out of time and in fact the English original became too difficult for me, so I'm reading a German translation now. That is so embarrassing. Oh, another thing I wanted to ask you: Have you ever heard of Charlotte Roche and her book "Feuchtgebiete" (I think in English it's called "Wetlands")? It was a very big success here and a huge scandal. And when I was in NY I even saw it there in a shop window. I have to do a presentation about international reception now, so that's why I ask.

You're finished today? Well then congratulations!! Your semester timing is still very strange to me but I'm happy for you. That means: you have holidays now till...? And what's SXSW? Hmm... But that festival thing sounds pretty good though. Very Amerimatt'esk. Oh, but I actually wanted to tell you something quite different. I just got one of those press screening invitations that haunt film journalists. "Die Entdeckung der Currywurst" is finally coming to the Austrian cinemas (you told me that you had to read the book in German class, right?). So there are press screenings in end of May and beginning of June and the regular start is June 19th. But of course you might never be able to see it, since American cinemas are probably not interested to screen it. Let's see. If it's good, I can send you the DVD when it's out or something...

I don't know what's coming up in the immediate future... I've been busy trying to finish the semester (I'm done today!). There's this thing going on in July that's like a much, much shittier SXSW but it's going to have: Times New Viking, Abe Vigoda, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Margot and the Nuclear So and So's and Prussia, so I'm pretty excited about that. It's really far away though, and multiple nights, so I haven't yet figured out how I'll manage. I'm moving on Sunday so after that I'll have to take a look and figure out what's upcoming.

well then we have to battle who's the cooler one of us. but your basement-experience seems pretty hard to beat. seeing bands (or musicians) before they become famous is something nobody can take away from you later... although i have the bonus of him liking vienna. he said that quite often yesterday and considering how often he plays here, i tend to believe him. anyway, what's next on your list? which cool bands are you gonna see in the next few weeks?

oh no! i'm sorry! by no means i intended to school you. i just thought it was so extraordinary as only very few concerts in one's life are. if you're lucky. casiotone was also very... oh, now i need to find the perfect word for it... cute and fun and probably the best i've seen for quite some time (but then, i don't really go to a lot of concerts at the moment). my sister and i were in the first row, just in front of him. and afterwards as we went to him to get some posters, he actually recognized us and thanked us for being a good first row. haha! are you jealous now? just imagine how great it would be if we were two jet-setting adults with actual jobs who would have been able to afford to go to aarhus just to go to that concert together... maybe in a few years. by the way, for the first time i saw him with band (that explains all the money i paid for the ticket). not bad, not bad...

unbelievable? whoa, that's a big word. i don't know if i've ever been to a concert that i would call unbelievable... well, maybe that one time i saw the dresden dolls in my hometown and it was amanda palmer's birthday and suddenly peaches (who had played the day before) jumped on stage and sang her "happy birthday" in yiddish. that was pretty spectacular.
