Once again! This time in Berlin…
Paris, Perez and other adventures
02 October 2009
Dear fans,
I hope you're all well.
This wednesday I was invited to play at one of the most popular radio shows in France: Le Fou du Roi on France Inter. Not only did Janne and me have the pleasure of performing two songs live, also we met the wonderful singer, actress and frenchie-songwriting-guru Serge Gainsbourg's former wife Jane Birkin who was a guest at the show.
Janne played Floating Around on a Caribbean steel pan which we had just bought in Hamburg and I played Girls Just Wanna Have Fun together with the pianist of the show. I uploaded both of the tracks for you, you can here my voice tremble a little probably owing to the 1,50m-away-presence of Madame Birkin.
Download the songs here:

The next morning my overflowing email inbox made me notice that celebrity blogger Perez Hilton had taken a break from mocking Madonna and Kayne West to feature my version of Boys Don't Cry on his site. Besides hundreds of new fans, public perception on the site itself wasn't quite that raving. Top 3 comments including the word "ugh" and modifications of it:
1. Ugh… I just threw up a little
2. UHHHHHHHGHHHHHHHH seriously perez that was BAD
3. urgh! that was aweful!
Last but not least let me inform you that we are on tour again. It's Austria from October 8 - 14, then a show in Berne, Switzerland and finally perfoming at Schaubühne Theater in Berlin on the 29th of October. Check the tourdates for details.
As one should always do, I am ending with the Morrissey quote of the day:
Shyness is nice, and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
You'd like to
Take care everybody,
Norman
