I'm alive.... well sort of

I have spent the last few days just playing music, working on computers, and going for long walks each day... between 1:15 mins - 2 hours. One long walk a day keeps the doctor away. Sometimes I take my iPod but sometimes, it's all ambient noise... i call it san francisco street bogie

i have been fighting with this computer of mine trying to get a different operating system on this new internal drive i got. now i'm going to put os 10.5.6 for the intel chip on it... wish me luck!

i am recording a new set in the next few days also... so i will not be out & about until Friday night... I've just got too much to do

I'm upgrading my studio computer and my 5 year old lap top... i'll be ghosting hard drives & such

Tschüss!

The Legendary Bar 25 in Berlin, Germany

A lot of Berlin locals don't like Bar 25 because it's a bunch of tourists and guerilla/gorilla-style dancing... take your pic. However, it's one of those things that must be experienced. The you-tube clip below is from 31 May 2009, 5 - 8 AM with Dan Curtin.



These pics are from the Sunday night before, 24 May 2009. On Sunday nights, Bar 25 hits legendary status... See for yo' bad self:





Sunset Parties: One of the things that makes San Francisco spectacular

It was one of the Sunset crew that first inspired me to become a DJ. Sunset parties are put on by the Pacific Sound crew and have been a tradition since 1994. Yesterday was the first party @ treasure Island. It featured the legendary wighnomy brothers. Rumor had it that they completely destroyed it @ DEMF and now I see what all the hub-bub is about. Their music was mind-boggling! Not to mention that one Mr. Jaybird aka Jason Peacock turned in an explosive closing set. I mean wow oh wow oh wow.

But, this party cost thousands of dollars to put on so we should all donate, Ja? Make a donation @ paypal.com using the e-mail address: sunset@pacificsound.net and any donation over $25 gets a free Sunset CD in the mail (WOO HOO!!!)

And lastly, but not leastly, let's hook you up with some pics & a little hot you tube action, no?

First of all, here's me quite clearly having a fabulous time! It's blurry but this is my first picture from my new camera phone!



and here's some other videos of the mayhem

Sieggesäule

So today I proudly got my carcass out for some more touristing. I went to Hamburg Bahnof, a Berlin Contemporary Art Musuem and then wound my way through the Tiergarten to Siegessäule, Berlin's victory column. Siegessäule is situated in the center of the Tiergarten and the center of Berlin.

A long windy spiral staircase takes you to the top (sorry, no elevator kidz.... you're going to have to schlep your shiznit up some stairs). I'm proud to report I did the whole stair case, no break, no problem as I've gotten pretty fit during my time in Europe... Must be all that dancing and loose men! I'm joking.... or am I? That's for me to know and you to die wondering about!

Here's a subset of my photos, all clickable to full-sized pics

Last Saturday night in Berlin

Well, technically my Sat night is still on. It's 10 AM and I'm too excited to sleep. I have my new Musik in my head. Saturday night was fabulous thanks to these two men: Brett Johnson & Dan Curtin. Unfortunately they were on @ the same time @ two different venues. Tough choice. Both are spectacularly talented DJs and super-cool human beings.

You're sooooo not supposed to take photos @ Watergate. Oops. My finger slipped. Five times. Oops.

This is what it looks like @ a sunrise set in Berlin. Sunrise is happening @ 0400 hours in Berlin this time of year as it's 50 + degrees north longitude. By the time summer solstice comes around, it will be light until 10:30 PM!!!! The Watergate is located right within view of Schlesisches Tor which is considered by many to be the one of prettiest Tors in Berlin.

Brett Johnson


And the infamous Watergate which I did not, repeat did not take a picture of... Because that's a no-no. And everyone knows I always, always, always obey the rulz...

Watergate

Watergate

Now we have the infamous Bar 25. A German friend of mine tells me he doesn't like the tourists that come there. I totally get that... You must be prepared to have your feet stomped and the dance floor is like a lesson in Bumper cars... But it has a lot of cool things going for it... and outside tree swing, a photo booth, it's along the water with tons of different seating areas and a second DJ area which looks remarkably like a circus tent... Go figure.

Music news

So I will be releasing a double CD Release on 18 July @ Anu with Mad Love, the set from the Big Love Show on 11 May that so many of you have continued to rave about. I hear mistakes in it but you guys say i'm nuts... OK I am nuts... and too hard on myself so your wish is my command

I just downloaded about 40 new tracks so i will be recording a couple of weeks after I return home to San Francisco with someone completely all new... and surprise, surprise, surprise... about 100% all German. I can't help it... the music they are making over here is just too phenomenal for words.

So mark your calendars for 18 July, and put your dancing shoes on... we are going to have a party!

Berlin Zoologischer Garten

So today I spent 4 hours @ the Berlin Zoologischer Garten before getting kicked out and it STILL wasn't enough. I'm uploading the videos as I have time to you tube. May is such a great time to be @ the zoo as all the new babies are here and they are too cute for words!

Here's some elephants with an elephant baby:




and the name tag said this: Sibirischer-Steinbock i don't know what that is except a brown long-horned cloved hoove animal... he's got to get his itch scratched. it's great. and there's the baby whatever the heck they are watching the whole thing.



and now we have some Giraffes:
