"I think we had the luck that ice was with us, he likes to chat to beautiful women "
-> probably because of her blond hair... it works like a bonus!
when i went there he was super unfriendly...

this fone number aint working

yes whatever, i have the blade runner copy she dreaming of, she ll get to me for it, soon or alter... hihi

if you mean the label MW, no - as I know there are no shops (in Berlin) with their stuff (drehmoment sold some at the time...) - you must know, it is not really cheap to order the stuff in the US as shop since they give no wholesale prices/discounts and if I am right MW works without distribution in EU, so you can find only a few releases in the net shops like Juno, Clone... costs are way to high, thats a simple reason. AND - this is kinda specialists music, these guys in the shops never heard of MW. there are shops they even never heard of Creme, Bunker and rel. stuff
BUT, you can find tons of Minimal in Berlin hehe

@ narcisco
bought the stereo and linear movement lps at www.indietective.de
i think they were each around 25 euro, that's okay... plus for orders that are higher than 50 euro the shipping within germany is for free.
and the shipping costs to foreign countries aren't that high either. to buy the vinyl directly at mw is of course much cheaper.
but i remember mw shipping was super expensive...

@ captain duran
"I think he knows where to buy in the net, or directly from MW."
-> oh, he probably does... no doubt! i just wanted to tell him where to get the mw stuff relatively "cheap" (compared to other online stores).

"don`t you think it is sometimes helpful to go in a shop, listen to the records (not the snippets at online shops) carefully and then decide to buy, esp. if the records are expensive."
-> of course it is. but if there are no record shops that have the stuff you want you have to buy it online.
i guess here in stuttgart it's even worse compared to berlin... the only record shops that i go to here are the 2nd hand ones.

"the prices for MW records in europe are def not `okay`;)"
-> i know (the stereo lp for ex is around 15 euro if you buy it directly from mw). but i was refering to the online shop we bought the mw stuff.
shipping was for free and so in the end it was cheaper to buy them there instead of ordering them directly because of the high shipping costs, you know?

@ Chilli Perez
good one... thanks for the link!

Hi Woody,
let me know bout that DD gig. Never been to this place, might drop by. Btw found the number you

Update - talked to DD's Peter, but he had already drawn up the rota for May, so I missed out on a gig.
I'll still be bringing my laptop over, just in case something comes up out of nowhere...

This might be my last post before I fly.
If anyone wants to meet up, drop me an e-mail and I'll get in touch ASAP.

See ya!

Just arrived!

Landed for the first time at Schonefeld, and it was a nightmare from when I landed. Took the bus to Hermannstr. thinking that it wold be more convenient than stopping at Rudow to catch the U-Bahn...bad decision - that bus takes ages to arrive at Hermannstr.!

To make matters worse, my Handy went kaputt because T-Mobile UK said I have to pay GBP250 deposit for roaming abroad as my contract has been on for less than 3 months - what a load of bullshit! So I've been told to pick up an Aldi account, as it's shit cheap. Can anyone give me more details about this?

I'll be online here for the next hour and a half, so e-mail me and I'll give you a landline you can temporarily contact me on.
Hear from you lot soon!
