06/06 & 06/07 FZW TOM COURTENAY...NOT BACKING DOWN |

We drove from Paris on the 6th and spent a night off in Dortmund at a bar called SissiKingKong waiting for Cornell, our mysterious connection to a cheap hotel room. Waiting in a bar for a guy you don't know, (who will lead you to food, or a bed, or a club) is also a euro-specific tour phenomenon, I think. In the meantime, we enjoyed great food, music, 2-Euro Kronens and a really nice staff. They put on one of our records a few hours into the wait and we all felt a little embarrassed but a little excited too, honestly. Cornell showed up a few hours later and told them he was there to pick up the AmAnSet. They all laughed, "We didn't know!!...but we like the record." That's alright, we like the record too. They invited us back the following night after the show at FZW, and we all stayed up late again at the Sissi. The bullshit vs. brilliant camps squared off on the tough issues like Daniel Johnston, Yo La Tengo, Jason Molina and the new Bonnie Prince Billy record. on the ipod: "Pablo and Andrea" Yo La Tengo |
