Regardless, I've got some answers for you. And videos. And a review. And I know these things are coming in slower than a granny on her rascal, but I'm in Europe. There is a lot of stuff to see and do here. Plus, these internet cafes aren't the greatest places in the world. (Even though this beautiful German woman sitting next to me is making things more interesting.)
Yeah, so we're in Münich right now. We went to see Bayern München take on Werder Bremen last night at Allianz Arena, which looked liked this:
It was a 1-1 draw. But it was total madness.
So you might be saying, "This is music blog, not a soccer blog." Yeah, you are right. Well, during warmups last night I was overwhelmed by quite an interesting tune by the German pop group, Die Prinzen. The song is called "Olli Kahn," and is obviously a tribute to the famous German goalkeeper. Get this; Kahn and his back-up are the only two players on the field, and this song is blaring over the loudspeakers, while nearly 85,000 crazed Germans sing along. Talk about an ego trip. Think if every single person in the United Center sang " Like Mike" while Jordan warmed up. That's still only 21,000 people. Quite a bizzare experience to see one individual so idolized. Hit me up if you know of any other athlete tributes.
Oh, and no post on Germany can exist without mentioning another German superstar. David "The Hoff" Hasselhoff Here is a video of his song, "Jump in My Car."
I'm sorry. I just couldn't resist.
And last week's playlist is encompassed by this video of Daft Punk's "Around the World." Some of you have already seen it, but who cares. It's about the best damn thing out there.
We're hoping we can find some tunes that cool while were in Münich. Here's to that.

James,
Wassup bra? Hung out with Robert Clement last night. We were reliving the story of your bad day of the water bill and the cashed phone. We laughed but we also talked about how much you grew as an individual that summer in Nashville. It is clearly obvious that your success is carrying over to your travels in Europe. Keep whipping it bro. I am proud of you. Love. Mac.
