Jenny came to accompany me to the trainstation...it was freezing...and snowing all the time...the plane had to waint for 2 hours before leaving because they had to add antifreezing on it...

09:05 pm - ~Adam Green & The Gnomes twice in Berlin~

February 10th

...I went to the airport and took an easyjet airplane to Berlin,I really enjoyed the flight ...it was the first day of the boy who was working as a "Plane-steward"(<-Sorry, I don´t know the correct word for this) and he was joking all the time about everything...we all clapped our hands for him before leaving the plane ...and during the fligh I was speaking with a boy who told me that he and his girlfriend were going to Berlin to see the Berlinade because they want to open a cinema in Bercelona which will offer films in original language at cheap prices (I told him that 3€ during the week and 4.50€ at weekends would be a good choice)...and that´s cool because the cimema that we used to go closed about a year ago...(We only see non-dubbed films)
..when I arrived to the  Berlin airport Jenny was waiting for me...we too a bus,and then two trains (I think) and then after leaving my bag at the flat we went to the supermarked to buy the food ...
I bought this green jelly in honor of Mr.Adam Green...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/Charlotte_Sometimes/Berlin10-14-II-05/Ln11ii05_Berlin.jpg

...Yummy eating green...it tasted funny ..

...then I had dinner with Jenny,her brother & her mother...then I went downstairs to the flat...I can´t remember what I did before going to sleep...


February 11st

...I got up at about 9 in the morning,had something to eat went upstairs with Jenny,
met Jenny´s father,...went downstairs again to have lunch...then at about 17:00 Jenny and I left to the venue..but before that Jenny took me to the Tv tower and I bought some badges for my friends in there...

...then we walked beside the wall for a while...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/Charlotte_Sometimes/Berlin10-14-II-05/DSC00150.jpg
..there are  some awesome paintings in there...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/Charlotte_Sometimes/Berlin10-14-II-05/LnMURBerlin11ii05.jpg

..then we went to the venue

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/Charlotte_Sometimes/Berlin10-14-II-05/11ii05TheGnomesAdamGreen/DSC00146.jpg

..and suddenly Parker (Kindred) appeared..poor boy...he seemed quite sick/ill... we almost didn´t talk...

...then we headed to the line...

...then at about 19:30 they  opened the doors..Jenny came with me to the guest-list cue because I can´t speak german...
...once we were inside we decided to stay on the right of the stage...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/Charlotte_Sometimes/Berlin10-14-II-05/11ii05TheGnomesAdamGreen/DSC00167.jpg

...we both bought The Gnomes cd,and I also bought an Adam Green T-shirt (But I coudn´t buy a Gnomes nor Moldy Peaches one because I didn´t had enough money  )

..The music while we were waiting was pretty cool (I can´t remember any song now though)...

and...at about 20h The Gnomes hit the stage .....

woooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaahwwwwwwwww!!!

Steven shouted "Echoooooooooooooooooooooooo" and "Rain" was the first song...followed by "On Ice" woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I think that Jenny & I were in compelete ecstasy....(you can read our reviews on The Gnomes forum)

..then it was the time for Adam Green...

wooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa again..
...Jenny was asking Adam  all the time to play "Kokomo" and he finally sang it (Lucky you Jenny ) he also did an extraordinary cover of "I´ll Be your Mirror" by the Velvet Underground...he also did some new songs "Drugs" ,"Nat King Cole","whatching old movies","Hollywood Bowl"...

...after the show we waited on the venue ,the security man wanted to throw us away but then Steven and Nate came and he let us stay...

...I still can´t believe that we were on the stage

...Nathan took Jenny´s videocamera backstage and filmed Parker and Chris (Jenny I´m yearning to see those images again...)...and Steven draw me a gnome..ahahahaha! Poor Steven...he had an evil eye...
...it was an unforgettable night ...


12nd February

...I got up at about 11h in the morning feeling  a terrible throat ache..when Jenny came I realized that I had completely lost my voice ...I couldn´t speak a single word!!!(I had to whisper all the time)

...I had lunch with Jenny and her parents (Jenny´s brother was buying a new shoes) and then I went downstairs to the flat to have a rest...I ate tons of honey with hot milk but my voice didn´t came out...
..Before going to the venue we met Jenny´s sister on the train station...
..and it was raining...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/Charlotte_Sometimes/Berlin10-14-II-05/11ii05TheGnomesAdamGreen/DVC01279.jpg

...we both went to the guest-list cue (this time they didn´t give us tickets) and entered without being registered ...and we decided to stay on the left side of the stage...

The Gnomes start with a new song...they were ace!!! ..and then Adam Green...wooooooooo-hoooooo...
...he did again "I´ll Be Your Mirror"( How much I adore this song and the way he sings it!!!)and "Secret Tonges"!!!!
...Richard Priest (From Rough Trade)  was marauding around and taking pictures (eh,Jenny?!? ...ahahahah!!! )...

..and after the show Chris told us that Nate,Parker and Steven were downstairs ..so we went there and took some pictures...daaaaaaaammmmnnn!!! I couldn´t say a word!!!

 

Conclusion : Best highlights for me aftershow in no particular order :

http://img103.exs.cx/img103/2858/stevenmertensberlinull12ii040q.png
Mistaking "Ceramic Gnomes" for "Salami Gnomes" ...and drawing me a gnome  and a sunset for Jenny


-*Chris Isom*

 http://img169.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img169&image=chisisomberlin12ii056tz.png

*Random Girl:Can I have your autograph?
*Chris:...Sure!
*Random Girl(while trying to read what Chris wrote):...mnnnnnn...Eric?
*Chris:..Noooooo!!!!...not "Eric",...I don´t like Eric... is CHRIS!!!!(while highlighting \"C\"-\"H\"-\"R\"....)


-*Nate Brown* 

http://img169.exs.cx/img169/8938/natebrown12ii05berlin0gc.jpg
..taking Jenny´s videocamera backstage...spinning himself around on stage for my camera (on Friday aftershow) ..and telling me that I looked like his mother hahhhahahah! because we both were born on the 8th of May...


-*Parker Kindred* 

http://img202.exs.cx/img202/1952/parkerkindredberlin12ii059lz.jpg
I couldn´t speak to him as much as I wanted because I lost my voice on Saturday...but...ahahah! he was very nice to me...he gave me two "Fisherman's Friend sweets" that were very helpful to clear my throat...(the only "bad thing" about Parker is that I can´t avoid seeing Jeff Buckey´s spirit around  every time that I have him in front of me ...and that makes feel sad because he was there when Jeff drowned ....)


Worst moments :me loosig my voice completely on Saturday .....we couldn´t met Adam but we didn´t care that much ...I hope I can meet him in Barcelona next time!!!!

08:45 pm - ~Elvis Costello~Lucio Dalla~Diamond Dogs~

...aawww! At least I have some time to write an entry (It seems that my brother´s hands can´t stay separated from the computer´s keyboard more than 1 hour... )


February 3rd

My friend Emi & I went to see Elvis Costello,we like him a lot and we didn´t mind paying more than 30€ to see him...it was a great show but he didn´t play "Veronica"...and the venue was half empty...


February 4th

...and just when I decided to go to see "Radio Dept" the radio dj said that they had invitations to the Lucio Dalla´show so I inmediatly changed my mind...WHY? because I had to admit than besides from the ultra-popular "Caruso"....

"Qui dove il mare luccica e tira forte il vento,

sulla vecchia terrazza davanti al golfo di Surriento,

un uomo abbraccia una ragazza dopo che aveva pianto,

poi si schiarisce la voce e ricomincia il canto.

Te voglio bene assaie, ma tanto bene sai,

è una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dind' e' vene sai.

Vide le luci in mezzo al mare, pensò alle notti là in America,

ma erano solo le lampare e la bianca scia di un'elica,

sentì il dolore nella musica, si alzò dal pianoforte,

ma quando vide il sole uscire da una nuvola,

mi sembrò dolce anche la morte.

Guardò negli occhi la ragazza, quegli occhi verdi come il mare,

poi all'improvviso uscì una lacrima e lui credette di affogare.

Te voglio bene assai, ma tanto bene sai,

è una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dind' e' vene sai.

Potenza della lirica, dove ogni dramma è un falso,

che con un po' di trucco e della mimica può diventare un altro,

ma due occhi che ti guardano così vicini e così veri,

ti fan scordare le parole, confondono i pensieri,

così diventa tutto piccolo, anche le notti là in America.

Ti volti e vedi la tua vita come la scia di un'elica.

Ma si è la vita che finisce, ma lui non ci pensò poi tanto,

anzi si sentiva già felice e ricominciò il suo canto.

Te voglio bene assai, ma tanto bene sai,

è una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dind' e' vene sai.

Te voglio bene assai, ma tanto bene sai,

è una catena ormai che scioglie il sangue dind' e' vene sai"


....I also really-really like his song called "Attenti al lupo"


 "C'è una casetta piccola così,

con tante finestrelle colorate,

e una donnina piccola così,

con due occhi grandi per guardare,

e c'è un omino piccolo così,

che torna sempre tardi da lavorare,

e ha un cappello piccolo così,

con dentro un sogno da realizzare,

e più ci pensa più non sa aspettare.

Amore mio non devi stare in pena,

questa vita è una catena,

qualche volta fa un po' male,

guarda come son tranquilla io

anche se attraverso il bosco

con l'aiuto del buon Dio,

stando sempre attenta al lupo.

Attenti al lupo. Attenti al lupo.

Living togheter. Living togheter.

Laggiù c'è un prato piccolo così

con un gran rumore di cicale,

e un profumo dolce e piccolo così,

amore mio è arrivata l'estate,

e noi due qui distesi a far l'amore

in mezzo a questo mare di cicale,

questo amore piccolo così

ma tanto grande che mi sembra di volare,

e più ci penso più non so aspettare.

Amore mio non devi stare in pena,

questa vita è una catena,

qualche volta fa un po' male,

guarda come son tranquilla io

anche se attraverso il bosco

con l'aiuto del buon Dio,

stando sempre attenta al lupo.

Attenti al lupo. Attenti al lupo.

Living together. Living together "

...I called Emi and she was available to go with me (the free ticket was double )..we had a really good time , although that it took me more than 10 minutes to begin to understand what was Lucio saying/singing (I didn´t practice my italian for more than 10 years)...

From 6th to 9th February
...On Sunday I was ill,feeling like a complete shiiitttt ...I stayed in bed all day and couldn´t eat at all ...But I had to go to work on Monday Tuesday & Wednesday...but on

08:24 pm - ~Six By Seven~This Girl~International(Noice)Conspiracy~Twilight Singers~

3-XII-04

...I won a ticket to see Six.By Seven ,it was good,they remin me a little bit to The Church (six.By Seven have a song that is clearly inspired in "Under The Milky Way")

10-XII-04
...Emi & I went to The International(Noice)Conspiracy gig,"This Girl" opened for them,both shows were good,the crowd were mainly swedish...ah! No free tickets this time but the gig was superb!!!

15-XII-04

...when I went to buy the tickets to Twilight Singers (Greg Dully´s band) I find out that the show was sold out...but I went to the venue to see if I could buy a ticket in there... when I arrived I found my friend Rut (just "Rut" without "h") who told me that she and some other friends were at the soundcheck...and suddently I saw that Greg Dully was there talking to some fans...I asked him for a picture and then he told me "Hey!See you tonight" and I just could say "I don´t think so,the concert is sold out..." and he replied "I can put you on the guest list if you want" and I was like "wooooooooo yes,please,thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" he laugh and also invited 3 more people...what a gentleman,Greg rules!!!

..the show was amazing...but it seemed so short for me,"Alado Sincera" was the support band...they are friends of Nevaeh & Shruglins (who was also at the concert)


(2 number 9 HOORAY! Canta,triple salt immortal)

07:36 pm - ~Nick Oliveri ~Marc Lanegan~The Cure(+more bands,Lyon)~Camper Van Beethoven~Lila Downs~


...Quick resume about those gigs...the night before going to Lyon (16-XII-04)I went to see Marc Lanegan because I won a ticket on the radio (Nick Olivieri was the support),I met SleepyJoe and some other friends in there ...goood show but Marc it´s not a very talkative boy...

17-X-I04

...at 9:15am Núria (The girl I went to see The Cure in Santiago De Compostela/Vilar De Mouros) and I left to Lyon to see The Cure (plus other bands), we rented a car and Núria was the driver (I also wanted to drive but it was more expensive to have a two driver permission)...We stopped just three times before arriving to Lyon..so at about 16:45 we arrived to the Hotel in Lyon,we had a quick nap and then visited the places around...

18-XI-04
...we took the car and visited the city and also went to the Hilton Hotel because we know that almost all the bands that were playing in the festival were hosted in that hotel...but The Cure weren´t...

19-XI-04

...I knew it was Kimya´s birthday but it was also the day that The Cure played...
We arrived to the venue at about 17:30h ,doors opened at 18:15....first line of course!!!

...the  first band that played was

De Palmas: A french solo artist that I haven´t heard of him before but it was good (he played an acoustic set) it seems is quite famous in France...

Franz Ferdinand:..mmmnnnnn....too much people yelling at my back to enjoy their gig


No One Is Innocent: an ska-punk band singing in french,it was also ok


Sin Semilla:another french band with reggaemuffin-ska etc...with trumpets-trombon etc...


Keane: I thought I wouldn´t like them because I (still) don´t like some of their songs (too EMO for my liking) but I was very surprised that I enjoyed their gig...and I like their song "The Last Time",they will play in Barcelona with Rufus Wainwright but the show is too expensive and I need the money to go to Berlin

The Cure:WOwoowowowowooowo!!! They only played for an hour and Robert was quite upset because they had problems traveling from Italy to France but they did a great show...the set-list was:

Pictures of you
Lullaby
alt.end
Inbetween days
Friday I'm in love
Just like heaven
A forest
The lovecats
Boys don't cry


...then after the gig we decided to go to the Hilton Hotel to see if The Cure finally decided to stay in there but they weren´t...we met Keane but I only speaked to them for a minute,Tom(the singer smiled at me,it was nice because he has always that puppy-dog-sad-face) I took the drummer and keyboardist bracelets(meaning the Europe2 acreditations)...then I remebered that we were at Paris Hilton´s Hotel (well,her father´s,but...) and I remebered that the poor girl doesn´t have enough money to buy herself some underwear click under your own risk

nor even clothes to cover her multisurgicalledbody click under your own risk,"2"

(Only Paris Hilton,al least she doesn´t have a guitar)

...so I decided to spend 4€ to buy a mini cup of chocolated milk (then I "steal" a Hilton pen to compensate the waste of money I did )...Núria spent 12€ in the Hotel!!! (she had 3 cups of cofffee)...so now  we just hope that Paris will use our money to cover herself...

and if I were an stripper my name would be "Paris" The test results doesn´t show see results on "comments"

...then we went back to our hotel...

20-XI-04

...we slept until 12:00 and then at 15:00 we took the car to comeback to Barcelona..we arrived at about 20h ...I was too tired to go to "The Sountrack of Our Lives" gig...

24-XI-04

I went to see Camper Van Beethoven because I won a ticket,the show was very good...

1-XII-04

..Emi,Carmen and I went to see Lila Downs (it was my 3rd time!!! I just adore this woman!!!almost as much as Kimya),(Hey!!!this time we all paid for her show),wow! I have no words to describe the show,simply amazing,fantastic!!!!

10:46 pm - ~The Cure a few more,a few more and The Cure again!!!~

Hey!
I´m back again!!!

Wow!  ... I could be ages talking about the two The Cure shows I saw...but I don´t want you to get bored about it...

Thursday 15th July
 

...My friend Núria & I took the flight to Santiago De Compostela,once in there we rent a car and drove to A Coruña to find a place to sleep (all the hotels in Santiago were full because this is "The New Milenium") ...

Santiago De Compostela is inbetween A Coruña (La Coruña in spanish)& Vigo


Friday 16th July

...we drove back to Santiago and while we were passing under a motorway bridge some kids throw a little stone that hit the main windscreen and scratch it (thanks heavens it didn´t broke)...we arrived to Monte Do Gozo (a kind of a giant anfitheatre) and we could hear and see the last Starsailor song...there wasn´t many people at 19:45h so we could get at the first row on the left of the stage...

...then at about 20:30 Muse begun their show...they did a great show but I don´t like them...I just saw them without feeling anything,I neither like them the first time I saw them 2 years ago...but I have to admit that the almost 28000 ppl that were there enjoyed Muse...they played for about an 1h 30min

...then at about 23:00 Lou Reed appeared on the stage (he was David Bowie substitute...he had to cancel his show due to his back pains)...Lou played until 24:30 ... his show was kinda boring...I mean that I really like Lou Reed songs and stuff but he begun to sing that songs from his last album that nobody knew and he didn´t play "walk on the wild side"...he did "Dirty Boulebard","Perfect Day" and "sweet Jane" but blah!! The sound was terrible ...

...the show was sold-out and the rest of people arrived during the Lou Reed show (we were 30.000 ppl)

...and finally at about 1:15 The Cure !!!! Woah-whoah-woah!!! what  concert!!! they did:

Plainsong, Fascination Street, Before Three, A Night Like This, The End of the World, Lovesong, InBetween Days, Just Like Heaven, Pictures of you, Lullaby, alt.end, Push, From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea, One Hundred Years, Us or Them, Disintegration

1st encore: Close To Me, The Lovecats, Friday I'm In Love, Boys Don't Cry
 
2nd encore: M, Play For Today, A Forest
 
3rd encore: Going Nowhere, Faith.

...they played for about 2hour (until 3:20!!!) ...We knew that Robert always stand on the left side of the stage when the show beggins and so did on Friday!!! I took a lot of pictures!!! the worst part is that I coudn´t see Parry nor Simon (only on the screen) ...Wow!!! Robert was very pleased with the audience and during Close To Me he took his digital camera and begun to take photos to the people ...(so maybe I´m in one of his pictures!!!) I better stop it here or I´ll write thousand million lines  ...

http://mk37.image.pbase.com/u25/craigparker/upload/31569746.portugal200416.jpg

Spain shot (not Portugal)


...after the show we drove to Vigo (because it´s more near to Portugal than A Coruña )


...we slept on the same Hotel than Bob Dylan & Blondie but we didn´t met them ...

Saturday 17th July

...we drove to Portugal...first we did an stop in Caminha


...it´s a very beautiful city near Vilar De Mouros ...we had lunch in there...and then we went to the festival town...

...we arrived there at about 17h...the show didn´t start until 20h so we were just rambling around ...I bought a non-oficial The Cure T-shirt for 5€ (the oficial ones were 25€!!)

...at about 19:30 we enter the festival and had a look at the merchandaising and I bought an oficial Festival T-shirt because it was only 10€ (of course The Cure was written in the back of it)...

..my friend Núria decided to stay in the middle of the stage on the second row,but I decided that to stay on the right side of the stage (first row,of course) to see Parry & Simon...(so in Spain I saw Robert,Roger & a litlle bit os Jason ,and Parry & Simon on the screen, and in Portugal I could see the whole band..)

...Fingertips ( a Portugal band) was the first band to hit the stage (from 20:00 to 21:00h)...they kinda sound like Placebo but the boy doesn´t look like Brian at all


(that picture isn´t mine)

..the Ice-T  played for about an hour...(I saw Ice-T ages ago with Body Count and I like it) but this time Ice-T  was too repetitive "mother-fucker-this,mother-fucker-that,shit,bollocks-blah-blah-blah..." so I decided to sit on the floor to rest...I only enjoyed the funny "We are the Children" cover they did ...(Althought that it was a too "macho" cover  )...

...then another Portuguese band called Clâ played for about 1h 30min...this band is very famous in Portugal and they did two encores to satisfy the audience...I enjoyed their show but I don´t like the kind of music they  play...they finished at about 24:30...

...Thanks heavens I could sit inbetween Clâ & The Cure show because The Cure didn´t hit the stage until 1:30 (for us it was 2:30 because in Portugal it´s an hour less than spain)

...finally The Cure again!!!...this time Robert didn´t took pictures and so coudn´t I because the security men advise us not to take pictures during the show (I just could take 3 or 4 because I almost implored it to the security guy in front of me)  The Cure did:


Plainsong, Labyrinth, Fascination Street, From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea, alt.end, A Night Like This, The End of the World, Lovesong,
InBetween Days, Just Like Heaven, Pictures of You, Maybe Someday, Before Three, A Strange Day, One Hundred Years, Never, The Promise
 
1st encore: M, Play For Today, A Forest
 
2nd encore: Close To Me, The Lovecats, Why Can't I Be You
 
3rd encore: Friday I'm In Love, 10:15 Saturday Night, Boys Don't Cry.

..and played for about 1h 45min...they ended the show at about 3:30...Wow! what a night!!! I still don´t know wich The Cure show I liked the most...

...then we drove back to Vigo (we went to sleep at 6 in the morning)


Sunday 18th July

...we get up at about 11h and left the Hotel to drove back to Santiago to take the plane back home...before taking the plane we cound visit the Santiago Cathedral


...it´s a very famous Cathedral ...every year there are thousand of people walking the Santiago Way just to see  it

 it´s  peregrination way (and people do it for Catholic reasons)...


...then we took the plane and arrivet to Barcelona at about 20:30...I arrive dhome at about 22H and I went directly to the bed...


...I worked the whole week and I couldn´t conect to the internet because my brother needed the computer...but he (my older brother) bought a Dvd!!! So I could see all my The Cure dvd´s and others and I also saw the film Nemo (I thought about Lacey during it) and some old catalan films too...


Saturday 24th July

...Eva,Leticia & I went to see a chinesse exposition...it was very interesting...there was about old dresses and stuff...then we met Emi & Maurici and went to eat at a Chinesse restaurant...(ahahah) and then to have some iced tea on  a street terrace until 1:30 and then we went home...

 

blah!!! I´ll keep updating later my brother needs his computer back...sorry if I still haven´t post on your lj...

Wednesday 23rd June

...it was "La nit  De Sant Joan" ,[Saint John´Night],it´s to celebrate the Summer Solstice (well actually,the summer solstice in in June the 21st but for catholic reasons they change it to the 23rd)...on June the 23th is the Summer Solstice and here we celebrate it with fireworks and doing "legal" bonfires...


...I decided to celebrate it with my friends Carmen & Emi,we went to a tasca and drank lots of sangria

 (darkred wine with fruits)

 ...so...all got drunk and then we went to a disco until 8 in the morning!!! 

Thursday 24th June

...I was trying all day to remember what I did the previous night...  ... I asked my friends and they told me that I had lots of fun and danced all night ...but I just got a few flashes of it...I can only remember when we enter to the disco and then the sun hurting our eyes when we got outside... ahhahahahah!!!!  I think that the last day I got drunk (before that) was on my brother´s wedding,just a year ago...

(...nothing interesting between the 25th & the 29th of June...)

Wednesday the 30th June

..Emi & I  went to see Lila Downs(hey! This time I PAID for the ticket),I really enjoyed her show...it was the second time that I saw her...she sings in mexican,english & misteca (an indigenous language)...I haven´t got any of her cd´s but I´m sure that if she comes again I´ll go to see her... 

 

(...nothing interesting inbetween ...)

 

5th 6th & 9th of July


...those three nights I went to see one of my favourites bands...Antònia Font...

ear piercing



You Are An Ear Piercing


You are traditional and normal - but potentially funky.

Chances are that this is the only piercing mom would let you have...

Or maybe you did it on a dare.

While you may seem tame for now, your ear piercing started your sexual revolution!



What Piercing Are *You*?
