Band Blog
It's been a couple of days since the last edition of the Berlin blog but it's been heads down from GoodBooks recently in the shape of a couple of new tunes, a 30 minute mix for the best radio station in Germany called Fritz Radio, a tad too much alcohol consumption and a shedload of table football.

Berlin Day 9
There is a bar somewhere in the East where there is a ping pong table, and all the punters do every night is play round the table, in fair Berlin where we lay our scene.
I played one exquisite shot, then plenty of survival ones, where you just nip it over the net and fuck the other guy over. We met an interesting cast of characters who made up our opponents for the evening.
- First and most importantly there was 'Amazing girl'. She clearly goes to Dr. Pong (the name of this fair establishment) most evenings, and wins most games. Bare skills. And also clearly queen of the joint... if someone thought they'd been got out unfairly, due to an obstruction of somesuch, they'd look to her for approval to remain on the table. This bitch was cool.
- Then there was the guy who looked like a mix between Brad Pitt, JK from Jamiroquai, and our A&R Man at Columbia, Ollie Hodge. He was also bare skilled. Most finals included 'Brad' and 'Amazing girl'. Interestingly, Brad also added an extra dimension of lackadaisicality to the proceedings by swinging his paddle in the right, while nursing a beer and a cig in the left. Punk didn't die, it just went to Berlin
- 'Hat Man 1' had a few good finals, but ultimately lacked the consistency to stay on the table too often.
- 'Hat Man 2' just looked like a dick.
- 'Barry from EastEnders' turned up late. Won a few rounds. Then left. I think he was a little too cool to compete for too long.
- 'Mark from EastEnders'... what it says on the tin.
- 'Russell from The Research'... look up 'I Love You But...' by The Research. Lovely song.
- 'Tom Cruise' clearly thinks that the rules only apply to others. Many times was he beaten, and yet often he would return to the field of play. He also felt the need to speak English at me, while standing verrrry close. Most offputting.
- 'Shit girl' I think was a good friend of 'Amazing girl', but tended to be the first person to get out each round. It must be tough having a tabletennis-obsessive best friend if you're not prepared to go along and get knocked out first every now and then. Props to her for the endurance. Dignity girl, dignity.
In other news, we began the evening at a place called Postbanhof, where two bands were playing - the first was called 'I Might Be Wrong', and I liked them quite a lot - bought their album and all. have a look at myspace.com/youmightbewrong. Also we saw a bit of 'Get Well Soon', who had great T-shirts saying 'The Meaning of Life is...' then the rest obscured by two fighting bears, but didn't quite rock me to my core. But it all felt a bit like being in London, so we weren't there that long.
And we found another decent bar, where Anna was working on a hot Swede, then we went home.
Anna's off today, which is sad. We're feeling half-way-ish, because for the four of us our halfway mark is about a day or two away.
Now the shower's free, I'm off.
