Notes from Germany

I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at blog(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

Am 1. Mai

Last night ended up in the Garage at some heavy metal show. There were lots of scantily-clad metal, punk rock and indy chicks there to ogle. So thats what I did. Unauffällig of course. The bands were okay but just sounded basically like Pantara/Slipknot/Korn cover bands. I'm down with the metal but it just needs to be approached differently in a live setting. Turning the bass up on everything does not make everything loud and heavy. It turns it into a big muddy wall of "wooooooooom". Today is a holiday here. If it were to fall on a weekday, I'd have the day off. There are lots of festivities going on in the city. For instance there is a very loud cover band just down the street playing the super extended long version of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again". Ugh.
