Jeff and I worked our way out to Melt! festival, a music thing in Germany. Unfortunately, July is a very rainy month for much of Europe, and the acts were canceled after 3am (they were supposed to go till 7) meaning, no Moderat for us. The setting was quite cool, an old coal mine or something.

At night, they lit up all the old machinery.

One of the stages was quite literally on a beach. The bands all played quite well, but I must say, Royksopp seemed to be playing for the cameras more than they were for the crowd

animal collective


bloc party


digitalism

And there were hipsters all over the god damn place.

Including a few who fell asleep at the train station on the way back

and my first encounter with poorly translated english. <3
