Instrument

A couple of weeks ago, my band got to play a festival in Berlin with a bunch of awesome German hardcore bands. The festival itself was great. Cool venue, cool people and a general cool vibe for both days. We were supposed to play Sunday night (next day was a holiday) and I had really looking forward to playing that festival. Unfortunately it turned out to be a night to remember for all the wrong reasons. The cops showed up while we set up on stage and we didn't really know what was going on. During the first song my guitar strap broke and after the second song our singer twisted his ankle so badly we had to stop playing and call an ambulance. Not a great evening for us. 

Technically, playing the festival was the main reason to go to Berlin, but since Monday was a holiday and my wife and I had time off work, we'd decided to stay in Berlin a little longer. As did some other friends. So we got to hang out with a bunch of friends and enjoy Berlin for a few days. Not a bad deal. Whenever I'm in Berlin, I make sure to go to Bis Aufs Messer record store. One of my favorite record stores to go to. Great selection of records and the owners are always down for a chat. This time I used the opportunity to fill the last gap in my Fugazi collection. 

Now, I have to admit that I've never actually seen the documentary this records is the soundtrack for. Talk about being a poser. I guess this is my next item on my to-do list. According to the matrix this is the repress from 2009, which I somehow find hard to believe. The last entry on Discogs is indeed from 2009 and the matrix does match, but still, there hasn't been a more current version in 15 years?
