sudden changes will always surprise us. There’s nothing to be surprised about. Life always changes within a minute.

During the last month a lot of unexpected things happened to me. I got to see everything from a different angle. It’s a good thing summer kind of already started.

Thanks a lot to Simon Fagan on trumpet and Hannes Buder on guitar. It is great to know both of you!

I hope you enjoyed this nice and warm weekend!

a lot of stuff is going on. Sometimes you just need a quiet voice to tell you everything is alright.

In this case it’s the lovely flatmate choir of Locht43. Locht43 are six tough guys, living in a former  factory, who host exhibtions, concerts, parties and all kind of events.

***all my roots grow in the air*** ***it’s ok*** ***never stop*** ***it‘s your story*** ***go go go*** ***ooh girl*** ***this is not the time to think*** ***confetti compliments***

I just love it, when a day starts after a way to short night, and everything is packed with energy.

***get your suitcase and start to travel*** ***need more coffee*** ***hey*** ***you can sleep afterwards*** ***just follow me*** ***the morning is waiting for you*** ***still drunk***

I just love the winter, even if it is not a really cold one this year. 2012 is already a couple of days old, and a new something started to exist in my head. I’ve never kept a diary, but still there are moments that are stuck in my head. This year I decided to release one miniature to myself each month.

***high higher highest*** ***it‘s cold*** ***who are you*** ***can‘t you see the 6 up there*** ***let‘s just stay a little bit longer*** ***dark winter waterfront*** ***nothing happens because of something*** ***wow*** ***far too beautiful*** ***don’t skip this moment*** ***winter song***

Spending the morning at Rag and Bone Man.

Maybe this key belongs to room 51.

Enjoying my coffee.

Rag and Bone Man is a nice vintage store in Neukölln. Live concerts, great coffee and nice people.
You can also buy our album there.

a bit late, but we wish all of you a good start in 2012. Be yourself for a while and things will work out one day!

remember that I promised to share a special childhood memory with you? Here it is!

It comes as a video:

***stop the rain*** ***stop people thinking*** ***where is my strawhat?*** ***don’t want to miss you*** ***ugly cloud go away*** ***this is for us to have fun*** ***let’s tie our shoelaces together and dance*** ***my bicycle kind of lost me*** ***It’s my magic friend collector***

So… hugs and kisses – hopefully it put a smile on your face!
