Sorry for the missed entry last week everyone - I've received a lot of concerned fan mail here at the office. It's reassuring to hear that many of you are such devoted fans and wanted to get in touch, it's concerning that some of the sillier ones amongst you attempted to letter bomb our headquarters to show your disappointment. Anyway after being out of town, I thought my return to the capital had to be celebrated by something classically Berlin. So, clearly, it was time to go and see some live screamtech electro from Canada. I headed with my cultural reporter Alicia H. to Crystal Castles at Columbiahalle on Monday night. The gig was a beauty. The soundsystem there really does do the job - I still am struggling to hear my colleagues at work - and the band's lead singer Alice Glass also makes a conscious effort to destroy ear drums.
I walked out of there pretty disorientated to be honest. On the way home we stumbled across this bit of modern art, Kreuzberg-style. It is a tree-stump (still fresh) with a rock on it named "Pherus". Perhaps the little fella was part of the old Berlin Wall? Perhaps he was a pet rock who had escaped his owner, looking for a better life? We will just simply never know.
