This was our first time at The Magnet, and it was definitely our best show in Berlin. The Morr Music office is in Berlin as well, so we had the opportunity to see Thomas and the Morr crew. Chrissie was there and Jens too. In the backroom we saw some "Death Cab is Homesick" grafitti, and it allowed me to be ever so briefly re-burnt up about Wall Of Sound refusing to support us on that tour last year. So if anyone is interested, I'll run down the latest chapter in this sad epic: They did give back Know By Heart (which was nice), but they kept Promise Of Love because it's really better for the record if it remains unmarketed and unheard but kept safe in a cool dark corner in the WOS office. In a closet. With a life-sized color photo of Mark Jones on the door. Shrugging his shoulders, palms turned up, with a white thought-bubble that just reads, "OOPS!" Plus ... they got it from us fair and square, right? So life goes on and we're smarter from the experience. Speaking of ... in the interest of education, I sent them an e-mail a few weeks ago with a jpeg of the DCFC Spin cover. "Hey, y'all ... hope you're well. This is the band you didn't want us touring with because you hadn't heard of them. I don't know if you've heard of Spin magazine or not. It's a popular zine here in the states. I really wish you had trusted us on this one because that tour would've done wonders for a band like us. But honestly, artists on the cover of Spin ask us to tour with them all the time, so don't feel like you wasted an opportunity for us or anything. It's all good, y'all." |
