MAFUKA

Sometimes it's strange how suddenly and how intensive a new band or a new artist is appearing. At least in a personal/subjective perspective. Right now this is happening with Sally Shapiro for me. Yesterday my friend Stefan recommended her to me. And Stefan is a goddarn expert when it comes to music. And today I google for >>"Sweden, Sweden" Berlin<< and find by coincidence an article about Sally Shapiro on the indie online-fanzine Soundmag. So what's coming up tomorrow, Sally? :)



Ja, ja, keep on smiling! I know it's funny! 'Cause tomorrow you'll still be in my ear and on my mind. In German we would call that an "Ohrwurm"!

If you also want to be Sally-infected get some free downloads:
"i know"
"i'll be by your side"
"anorack christmas"

Last weekend me, the one and only but already very swedenized Donnie, returned to Berlin. First time since the big world championship. Well, there was no "WM-Fieber" left but it was amazing fun anyway! Why? Because it was the premier of my new favourite club: Sweden, Sweden! at Magnet.



As you can tell by the name this is a club spezialized on Swedish indie music. So three gorgeous bands were performing live on stage (Streetwaves, The Light Bulb Project and the amazing Torpedo who were and are my all-time favourites) and 8 DJs were taking care of good Swedish music for the rest of the night. Among them Firefox A.K., TGR Lou, Elias (Burning Heart), Abbas, etc., etc. AND me :) So while I was "working" all night long and made the people sweat on the dancefloor, my Swedish homies who came along with me for some shorttime vacation worked hard on drinking up all champaign (How do you say "Sekt" in English???) available at Magnet. And they succeeded. Haha, those Swedes!!!

Anyway, the next Sweden, Sweden will be on 25th of May and it looks velly good that I can play some records there again. Yo, it's my goddarn pleasure!!! So stay tuned and become freinds with Sweden Sweden on Myspace.

And just for you: My favourite 2 photos of that night that I found on the web:

Übrigens ...
Als Sergio im verwilderten Digitaldschungel aka Bilderwald herumwühlte, trat gar Interessantes zu Tage ...
nämlich ein Beweisstück von den Anfängen unserer Familie!
Sehet selbst!

Ey!
(We may not forget about our mission to get this stupid word in all dictionaries around the world ... so that it finally counts at Scrabble!)

Who needs friends?
WE ARE FAMILY!!!
I think we should also use this darn blog to remember all our brothers (and sisters ... who we also call "our brothers" because ... because ... this is how it works in this family!)

Liebe Freunde! Liebe Familie!
Hiermit eröffne ich feierlich und mit stolz geschwellter Brust das Meissner'sche Nord-Sued-Sued-Nord-Bloggosphären-Gefälle!

Darn! I just realized that I should write in English ... or shouldn't I? Well, whatever, this bloody Valentine's day has also something good about it: The birth of the Mafuka! News, views and reviews provided by the lovely sisters Jill and Janis. Yes, the Mafuka is the ultimate North-South-South-North-blogglobalisation in the unique Meissner-style. Fy fan, this will be fun!!!

In this respect:
WELCOME TO THE MAFUKA!!!
