being the middle european dickheads we are, we decided to take a walk to the, supposedly very pitoresque old part of town. little did we know that the route would lead us along the edge of the beautiful little favella (photo bellow) we can see from our balcony. armed with a digital camera, iphone, plenty of money, luckily a pack of smokes and looking like a pair of amateur hunter s. thompsons, we hit the road. the heat was bordering on psychedelic and the shitstinking, delapidated, dodgy tunnel we had to pass through obviously failed to warn us. so did the first almost friendly favella dweller we came across, who bummed a smoke and as we now know, tried to warn us not to go further.

we carried on………
……….the heat was way intense and blinding white.

after 200 meters the next guy wanted more than a smoke. he wanted the whole bloody pack which i happily gave him. he also told us to gitouttatown, which we promptly did, too freaked to yet be scared but only after having our picture taken with this tropical, brown toothed robin hood (with the iphone, obviously). this all happened about 3 hours ago. we`re now holed up in our appartment, happily contemplating the chance to finally see the sunset from our balcony…….armed with spliff and beer. basically a bit shook up but we`ll get over it. the whole story sounds kind of lame in a way but i guess we`ll never know if it was or not.

it was way too hot anyways.

bellow you can see a crap photo of the lovely evening view from our balcony and read our little poem; dictated to us by the passing clouds whilst sat on said balcony.

we laughed tears.

dear all,
per`s here for a visit from denmark so we grabbed the chance to do a rough recording of this new boogie. the basic tracks were recorded live this afternoon (tuesday 10th feb.) with 4 mics in the cellar……as a power trio…….which was a blast. the rest was then overdubbed upstairs in my room………prog it`s not. it`s the first time in about 8 months that we`ve played together and the first time in about 3 years that we have something that could be called a new song, which feels good.
here it is : [See post to listen to audio]enjoy,

in co-operation with hamburg`s premier tape label, Someone Else`s Tapes, we bring you our first free release. kptmichigan and son`s 8 track mini album home / away.

to listen and download, click on the image. to get hardware, please go here.

kptmichigan and son formed around 7 years ago in dörentrup, germany but split due to musical differences. when in mourillon, a suburb of toulon in the south of france in the summer of 2007, they swept aside their old clinch and kicked out the jams. recorded in france, denmark and germany these 8 tracks are drenched with musical genius. fieldrecordings of cicadas and underprivilaged children, pianos played with 4 hands, sleep depravation (sergej), gallons of red wine, a beautiful mother and lover and too much hash (michael) mixed with a bout of sheer joy and happiness make this a complete no bollocks affair.

To preview or buy, please click on the image.

Whilst we were in the studio in Hamburg, we managed to record more than a good hours worth of material with Station 17. The Station 17 and Schneider TM song Jede Nacht evolved from these sessions but obviously, there was a lot more material left. We decided to slightly edit and mix the rest and thus, we had the Goldstein Variationen 3 REDUX…….a whole album`s worth of intense freeform sound. Buyers of the physical 12inch will find a coupon inside which enables them to download the digital version plus the redux version for free (of course these are available as downloads without having to buy the 12inch first).

***DOLLARS***

if you`re visiting our store you`ll find that our currency of choice is now the u.s. dollar. we`ve always been on the side of the underdog plus, it makes the whole shebam cheaper for you lot!!!

take care,

dear all,

on the 14th of december my good friend and neighbour tommy, in a state of progressing drunkeness, decided i should tatoo his arse. he had the keys to the tattoo parlour he works at and so at around two in the morning we headed off. it was the first time i`d ever inflicted this sort of damage on anyone but it was all done rather profesionally (hygene wise, that is), in good taste and tommy is quite happy with the finished “piece”. and now my other neighbour susen also wants an original kptmichigan gracing her behind…she`s just looking for the right motif. so, if you want one and you`re in the detmold area, drop me line and i`ll see what we can do. oh, and i only do right arse cheeks.
peace,
kpt
