I LOVE Tracey Thorn. So great news: New album coming out in May!!
I know Ewan Pearson who’s been working with Tracey on the album and he promised me a listening session at the studio here in Berlin a looooong time ago.
Think it’s about time to stick to your promise, Mr. Pearson!
One of my favorite tracks from her last album Out of the Woods
What better way to wake up? Sex in tunes. That’s what this track is to me.
Just discovered it last night though it’s been out since some time last year. On Berlin label Get Physical.
Berlin based duo Booka Shade release their new album on April 26. I have their two other albums Movements and Sun and the Neon Light and most tracks from first album Memento so will probably add the fourth to my collection.
Been a fan of their recognisable sound since I (too) became aware of them through their 2005 hit Body Language (M.A.N.D.Y vs. Booka Shade).
You can get a pre-listen of the melodic tunes on their new album with Regenerate that you can download FOR FREE here.
Afrilounge’s remix of Body language…
A friend invited me to go see Florence and the Machine next Friday at Astra. MERCI !!
Tickets are still available!
It was during Bowie’s time in Berlin that he declared to have killed his alter ego Ziggy. Imagine that Bowie moved here as a retreat from “snowy” L.A. Taking Iggy Pop with him. In the late 70es.
Thomas Jerome Seabrook’s book “A New Career In A New Town: Bowie in Berlin” covering that time of Bowie’s life comes well-recommended. Don’t know if any of you can pass on other tips?
Japanese designer Kansai Yamamoto is the master mind behind several of Ziggy’s tour outfits from the early seventies.
Wednesday at Temporäre Kunsthalle 22:00 – 01:00:
Free Solo LIVE concert by Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab, Monade) at Auto-Kino!

Without any relation to Berlin, other than I heard it again at a bar recently, how great is this song?

I love it when you re-discover songs you’d forgotten excisted. Had some long working days this week. Rage Against the Machine is for power supply!
