Tuesday Night Supper Club Vol. 2

I know. There are a lot of things going on in the picture above. However, I've decided to outsource my food-related pics to make the covers for the Tuesday Nigh Supper Club Mixes. Random food in the pic, actual food eaten as the name of the mix.. it's all incredibly funny to me. And that's all that matters. For this particular mix (we're already a few behind) I decided to do a "Best Of Antilopen Gang" -- basically some of my favorite Antilopen Gang tracks... the ones that I would send to someone who has never heard of the group and who I think would enjoy it. Toby and Buche are excellent guinea pigs for this experiment. Also, I was on vacation and this was the easiest mix to make on the Monday evening when I returned. That said... props to me. Stay tuned for Vol. 3 "Seitan Döner". Also, the new Antilopen album is coming out in November and they'll be playing Hamburg for a 4th time this year... so let's see how this goes! Panik

Hamburg Happy Things #2

When I see things on the street that make me smile, I usually forget to take a pic. Sometimes I don't. These are pics from the times that I remember. Hamburg @ the Stephansplatz U-Bahn station. Drawing a "Fuck me" speech bubble on an ad is one of the oldest graffiti tricks of all time. There are probably Egyptian hieroglyphs that demonstrate this phenomenon. I was pretty drunk when I took this picture, but I'm 100% certain that I was mostly impressed by the punctuation. And only mildly tickled by the invoking of Jesus' name. Hamburg-Barmbek near Genslerstrasse. I often ponder this tag while walking or riding to the train station in the morning. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of residents of Turkish origin, so I'm unsure if they're proclaiming their love of Batman, Turkey  or... Batman, you know, The Dark Knight and whatnot. I'd like to think both? Either way, I know who's not responsible for this piece . Hamburg @ the
