The Music and You!

Just got back from a Xavier Rudd concert... very cool. We got to stand right out the front - not hard considering the place was half full... not nearly as packed as the Aussie gigs. Still - he played some of his more known songs, but I was SO disappointed in the cherman crowd... they just stood there! I couldn't believe it! There were these two people right at the front and they kept on checking their SMSs and just being totally bored - it's like, why are you even here?!

The gig itself was good - he made a couple of funny jokes about chermans and all the aussies in the crowd cheered. But as we were discussing it later with Jack it seems that most deutsches were there for the novelty value as he plays so many instruments - most didn't actually know any of his songs... so were a bit weirded out. Fark em I say! We had a blast and I can proudly say that my husband has borrowed and improved some of Michael Stipe's dance moves - yesss, love him!

Check out our signed play list with the 'Thanks Brother XR'... oh, and did I mention I gave Xavier advice after the show on where to party in Berlin? Well I did, 'cos one of the things he mentioned was that his first impression of Berlin is that it's a very quiet city, thus I felt the need to recommend he hangs out in Friedrichsein and around Warshauer Strasse - our first home in Berlin. He seemed to take to the idea, 'cos he asked me to tell him slowly what the place was called.

Oh and we met some other aussies/germans from Melb - also cool! Hope all's great back home in Melbski and oh oh oooooooo, ohhh oh ooooo oooooooo - Let Me Be Freeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
