Hehe you're welcome! They were so great at the festival, personally after Mando Diao the best performance! :) The singer was very funny. Ah, only a few days until you'll meet Flo, right? ^^ Where exactly do you live? Was it near Stockholm or Helsingborg? I forgot it, sry! ;)

Thanks for the words Mo! :) It's nice to hear that somebody is loving my country! That's not very often! :D Hehe Tomte means Santa Claus??? Hm maybe it was their intention. It's an indie band, coming from Hamburg. You can listen to the new album here... http://www.tomte.de/ I especially adore "Ich sang die ganze Zeit von Dr", "New York", "Walter & Gail" and "Norden der Welt". :nice:

Hey burningmonk, I like your avi and your signature! :) Why are you supporting Germany? Scorpions are coming from Hannover. Their music is good and I especially like "Wind Of Change". But they've only English songs I guess. ;) Sure, I forgot Kraftwerk who are very successful outside Germany. :) At the moment I really like Wir sind Helden, Beatsteaks, die Ärzte and Tomte.

Coldplay - Fix You

You don't like Ace Of Base? I grew up listening to Roxette and Ace Of Base! :D Especially Roxette is wonderful! "Listen To Your Heart" and "Fading Like A Flower" are so sad and in the same way amazing! :( ;) Hm, German music never had a big success in other nations, except Rammstein. I remember that Nena had a number 1 song in the US during the 80's but that's it! ;) But since 2000 German music completely changed. So many new bands (Juli, Silbermond, Wir sind Helden, Tomte, Kettcar, Madsen) were singing in German again! It wasn't cool during the 90's. :)

Yes Iris, very terrible! The pictures reminded me of the attacks in Madrid... :( Yeah Therese, Swedish music is incredible! It began with Abba, over Roxette and Ace Of Base to The Hives, Mando Diao and The Sounds. :)

:nice: Can you explain to me why there are so many great bands coming from Sweden? :p

The Sounds were also at the Hurricane Festival one week ago but I've missed them. :( I really like "Much Too Long". It's a great song! Btw, Mando Diao is touring through Germany in autumn. Can't wait to see them in Hamburg again!

Coldplay - Crests Of Waves

Hehe Therese! :) Nice to read you had a great time. Btw, do you know "The Sounds"? It's a Swedish band and some radio stations now are playing a few songs of them. ^^

1.) Merkel is ugly... :lol: :dozey: 2.) Merkel's party wanted to invade in Iraq in 2003 3.) Merkel is raising the VAT from 16% to 19% in 2007!!! etc. Hehe, I also like the pictures of Crouch! There are so many different pics of him in the internet. ;) Would you vote for the €uro or not?

Hehe, not really... ;) We had so many trouble in our country after the €uro replaced our DM (Deutsche Mark) in 2002. 1 € = 1.95583 DM, so it was really easy for us Germans to convert it. But life became very expensive, especially in the catering trade. In that case I want to have my DM back, but it's great to have the same currency in a lot of European countries. :) When are you voting for or against the €uro in UK again? I can't stand Angela Merkel! :P

... and they're all playing for Werder Bremen! :wink3: :lol: :cool:

Blair... It's the little dog of Mr. Bush, or? :P Well, I don't know a lot of Britains politics, but I hate Blair for going into the Iraq. ;) Oh, that sounds crazy Juli! I don't get enough information about the elections in your country. How can anybody like Angela Merkel? :P

Tja, das Leben ist schon hart... Ich würde echt gerne nochmal zur Schule gehen! ^^ Jaja, die Italiener... aber wie hat es ein Freund so schön in seiner ICQ-Away-Message stehen... "L'Italia è impaurita del fiammifero contro la Germania" :nice: :P

:nice: Oh elections... exciting! And who do you think will be your new president? God, I have to wait until 2009 for the next elections and I have to live with that ugly thing called Merkel as a Chancellor of my country. :sneaky:

I'm also good, but it was a stressy day and it's still very hot! ^^ But I like it! ;) What about you? :lol:

Hehe, now I've got my mobile phone back! My brother brought it back. ^^ Oh, you lucky one! Hope you have nice weather in Paris as well. :) Enjoy it!

Maxïmo Park - Kiss You Better :nice:

Lol, I meant my cat! LMFAO! :D I'm so confused at the moment... I forgot my mobile phone at the VET... :dozey:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - So Much I

No, not really... ;) I hate it to push my vet into the little cat box. It's a torture, everytime and I really don't want to hurt him. :( Hey Juli! :nice:

When I heard of it on the radio I had to laugh... :D For me it's only a hell of a fuss! I hate the FIFA so much, not only just after this decision. For example: Why are you only allowed to drink American beer in German World Cup stadiums?! No Becks, no Warsteiner, no Krombacher, only Budweiser! :dozey: As Julia said... "Jetzt erst recht!!!" Borowski is a great replacement for Frings! :)

Just came back from the veterinary... God, it was such a torture for my lovely cat! :( He had to sit in his little box for at least 30 minutes, because the woman before us was talking all the time. :veryangry: He was so afraid and got so many injections. Now he's so angry about my brother and me. I think it's more difficult for me to go to the veterinary surgeon than for my cat. :\ :rolleyes:
