Justine Electra mit Jens Olesen bei Der Tag on the Deutsche Welle.
It's all deutsch to me, but if you sprechen sie deutsch you will find it perhaps entertaining... :-)

Vice Germany Green Disco Review is here!

Good ole Vice... love em or hate em, usually they are quite hilarious, as long as the joke is not on you... sometimes i walk down the street and think "Do!" at people, or "Don't!!" and chuckle on the inside... Anyhow, they have given me a (cough) 7 for the new CD, which is I suppose, above average, but on the other hand the review mentions nothing about the music except where esteemed journalist "Orestessen" says: "Irgendwie scheinen alle zu schlafen, die großen Plattenfirmen sind voll beschäftigt mit dem Finger im eigenen Arsch, also bringt Justine Green Disco einfach selber raus."
So thanks for your understanding, "O", and you can read the rest of the abstraction (and there is another graphical surprise waiting at the top of their page for you oh trusty fan) here:

EP Release Party 21st September!!!

Hey! If you can make it down to a place called "Urban Spree" (hopefully not a synonym for Media Spree!) then try to on September the 21st. I'll be playing there, as well as my friend Tonia Reeh, and we'll both be releasing our records (Tonia's LP and my EP) at the same time. Let me know if you'd like a spot on the guestlist, as I have around 15 places free. And don't forget to bring your 10€ for a preview first-edition signed copy of the as yet unreleased Green Disco album (to be released officially on December 6th)!!! See you there!

The CDs have arrived!!!

Green Disco Album Release 6th December 2013!!!

Yes it's official. The new album artwork and mastered tracks have finally been sent to the CD plant, and will be ready to pre-order in 10 days or so!!!
If the vinyl interest is high enough, then we'll make a vinyl too! The singles are all going to come out in July and August, with exciting and provocative B-sides (really!) well at least that's the reaction I always get when they are played, so since I am too lazy to put them on the album, I'll just get 'em out this way :-) Andre from Neun Volt Records is helping me immensely with the preparation for the promo, and my new flatmate Hannah O'Hare was like an angel from heaven completing the changes on the artwork for me this last week, so I especially have to thank the both of you. And Hannes Früh has been endlessly supportive with all kinds of photographic and domestic forays, and Steffen Bartneck too of course, so I have to thank the both of you too. The other massive hero in this story is Jens Friebe who is my backer on the CD manufacturing front, THANK YOU JENS!!!
I am sooo happy, this is finally happening!!!

You told me "Let me know next time you're playing!!!" so here it goes:

Artist Future - Weasel's Fist

Jan Hendrik Meyer. What a wonderful man-child. I had the good fortune to "live" or more likely "philosophise" with Jan for 2 years back at the turn of the century, and am all the more rich for it. He has a beautiful gentle way about him. He is huge and has a sweet gangliness about him which he over-emphasizes with intimate compliments and sweet self-deprecation. He is a blonde viking, and it offsets his drawing prowess beautifully. He knows EVERYTHING about film, art, music and Tocotronic. He taught me alot. Alot! I'm still searching for films he told me about, or showed me back then when we enjoyed our communal existence. And his personal charisma is unequalled. He takes grown men and women and turns them into putty in his hands with no more than 5 words and a head-cock to the side. You should have seen the flatmate interviews! We had to rent a room out once and did that notice-in-the-paper "Shallow Grave" type thing, where the potential tenants turn up all washed and sprightly and you and your other flatmates pose test questions like: "If you got into the shower and noticed the drain was full of pubes would you a) scream b) cover them with the soap or c) put on rubber gloves and remove them? or d) all of the above. The potential flatmates always fell in love with Jan in about 5 seconds flat and then would just shake trying to think up answers just so's they'd get to live with that hot gentle giant:

Now he lives in the idyllic countryside and composes songs with a passion. He has 29 uploads already! Here's one of them:

for heaven's sake let's dance by weasel's fist

Day 66 Song 66 - Fall By My Side

Good day to you Sir/Madame! If you are reading this, then welcome to my blog. If you scroll down you will find literally LOADS of my songs, all embedded in soundcloud players, ready to be listened to, with their accompanying anecdotes written above each track. If you follow this link to my Soundcloud Radio Station, you can listen to all my songs so far, one after the other, and simply enjoy the audio experience. Obviously you may skip around as well, according to your emotional needs ;-)
It's true, my song writing knows no end. That's not a boast, it's just the way it is. Some people are good at tax returns, some people are good at giving speeches, some people are good at running an office, or any combination of those - I on the other hand can write songs. My production ethic is pretty much speed-oriented. I like to capture inspiration and just go for it, and get a song recorded within 24 hours. If I don't record it, then I notate it and put it in a folder along with millions of other scraps of lyrics, melodies and chords, to wait until the necessary project or time frame to dig it out.
As well as that I have a whole swag of unfinished demos, and that's pretty much what this blog is all about. I just got sad one day that all of these sweet songs of mine were gathering dust on my harddrive and never getting heard. So I decided to be brave and let all my not-yet-grown-up-babies be put on aural display in the hope that one day some-one will discover them and find a place for them in their heart.
Maybe that some-one is You!
At the moment I'm on holiday from this blog, looking after my little boy everyday until he starts at the kindergarten in September, but from then on I'll have a bit more time for music and associated projects, and hopefully you will have listened faithfully to the 60 songs already uploaded, and be ready for the next daily deliveries.
I will also have my new album out hopefully, and have a tour booked (yet to secure a label, but that will come very soon I hope!) and then I can come and visit you personally :-)
Enjoy my music, and you can leave a comment without registering, so please feel free to write me.
See you soon!
