Berlin: analogue heaven/hell

[Trapezium Artist]

Interesting short video about Berlin's Kreuzberg area, with the first couple of minutes concentrating on Andreas Schneider's analogue synthesiser shop:

Of course, for some, analogue synths may be heavenly, while for others (cough), they may be the opposite.

Anyway, an excuse to have a virtual wander through one of my favourite cities in the world, albeit not looking at it's best, given that it's still winter. And, well, it's Kreuzberg; I'm afraid that I'm probably a little too bourgeois for that part of town, having lived in somewhat more upmarket Wilmersdorf from 1998-2005, about 30 metres down the street in the direction where the cyclist is headed:

Oooh, I love a bit of modular gear porn.

My younger son is having a wander through Berlin at the moment (school trip).

He had to be at school at 2.15 this morning - they were catching a 6am EasyJet flight from Luton. I expect he will sleep well tonight.

School trip? Sleeping well? Oxymoron  8-)

Indeed, but the teachers in charge assured the parents at the recent meeting that the children usually request to go to bed by about 9.30pm on the first night.  :lol:

The poor little mites are all worn out, what with having been up since before 2 a.m.

We're still puzzled as to why my son left a digestive biscuit on the shelf in the hall as he departed.
