The extra-mild Winter fades to chirpy Springtime here in BERLIN, can you believe it? Outdoor Cafe time and bicycles and Alles Klaar, auf jeden!! Gordon Raphael and his UK band Black Light performing a video-shooting of this chestnut of a tune. Shot in The Silver Transporterraum of London, and its Limehouse surroundings....

Doing its best to emerge in such a strange almost non-existant economy. There's a will to create here, but the feeling that the economy is just in a frozen state of comatose drift.... so alot of drugs and alcohol seep through the youth, trying to pretend thats "its ok, no one need to connect their work with the world too much...i guess!" Alot of great ideas here go unheard, yet there's tons of shows, and more and more bands come here all the time. I think something great will happen here, it just doesn't seem like there's alot of hurry to do it yet.... A strange mixture of very slow timing and very exciting possibilites. Alot of powerful creative forces here, and that should only lead to very outstanding art, unless the slow-down drugs completely take over...as they often do! xx g
