When we got married, we talked about inking the deal with something (literally) in the place of rings \u2013 but, looking at David Duchovny\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanishingtattoo.com\/images\/contest2\/dd-2.jpg\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.vanishingtattoo.com\/images\/contest2\/dd-2.jpg', 'finger tatt');\" title=\"David Duchovny's finger tattoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">finger tatt<\/a>, I\u2019m glad we didn\u2019t. It took a second life-changing experience to make up our minds: the move to Berlin. If you don\u2019t care what our matching tattoos mean, skip straight to the pretty pictures of them and the place we got them \u2013 AKA Berlin&nbsp;\u2013 but if you do care, read on\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Moving to Berlin is (one of) the best thing(s) we\u2019ve ever done, \u00fcberlin represents the move, and now these two little squares symbolise \u00fcberlin (they\u2019re the pixelated umlauts that sit above the \u201cu\u201d on our logo). This blog is our memoir, our media, our <em>Meinungen<\/em>, and has put us in touch with some of the most incredible people we\u2019ve ever met \u2013 and are yet to meet. It\u2019s worth celebrating, and we could think of no better way to immortalise it than with indelible ink.

You just shut down one of the best shows I\u2019ve ever seen: Fischerspooner at the Avant\/Garde Diaries, BCC.<\/p>\n<p>I should have sensed it coming when you seemed jealous that you weren\u2019t the centre of attention, that trained performance artist and pop star Casey Spooner *somehow* stole your spotlight. The crowd-surfing \u2013 at a dance gig \u2013 was a giveaway.<\/p>\n<p>But then when Herr Spooner splashed you with water to get your attention and you responded with a full bottle of water, aimed at one of his five-foot-nothing dancers, that was the final straw. No, sorry, the final straw was the wine glass that followed. Rightfully so, everyone exited the stage, and then Spooner returned to explain why the band \u2013 who had travelled from Moscow just to be here \u2013 *couldn\u2019t* carry on the show.<\/p>\n<p>Now that it\u2019s all over, far too soon, here\u2019s a reality check. Bottles *do* get thrown at gigs \u2013 at hardcore gigs where you would be ground into pulp. But that doesn\u2019t happen at \u201cgigs\u201d like this, thinly-veiled (but expertly-curated) car launches. If you want to be subversive and anti-everything, fuck off down to Kreuzberg to watch some second-hand-punk crap. And if, like the injured dancer said, you aren\u2019t here to see the show \u2013 fuck off.<\/p>\n<p>What is wrong with you, Berlin? If your crowds move at all, it\u2019s to abuse the people who have showed up to entertain you. Seriously, fuck off.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On a happier note, you can find photos of the (half)show <a href=\"\/fischerspooner-live-in-berlin\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"ssb-share ssb-share-1880 defualt\" post_id=\"1880\">\n<div class=\"defualt-button-fb\"> <iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http:\/\/www.uberlin.co.uk\/berlin-you-cts\/&amp;width&amp;layout=button_count&amp;action=like&amp;show_faces=false&amp;share=false&amp;height=21&amp;appId=743541755673761\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; height:21px;\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"defualt-button-twitter\">        <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"\/berlin-you-cts\/\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"postMeta\">\n<div class=\"postMetaCategory\">Category: <a href=\"\/category\/music\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Music<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"postMetaTag\">Tags: <a href=\"\/tag\/fischerspooner\/\" rel=\"tag\">Fischerspooner<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"comments\">                                 <a href=\"\/berlin-you-cts\/#comments\">15 comments<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pageNav\">\n<div class=\"prev\"><a href=\"\/2011\/07\/page\/2\/\">\u00ab<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"next\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 31, 2011 Pictures from Paris by Zo\u00eb Noble Last week I went to Paris for a work trip and managed to squeeze in some sightseeing before my flight back.
