here's a little update on jules etienne's thrilling life

after a fantastic mini tour to russia and ukraine for snax and the snackettes i came back to berlin a bit depressed. we had so much fun and it was really inspiring to be in moscow. the come back to loser city berlin was even harder. seriously, berlin is a great place if you want to go out everyday of the week without spending any cash and if you are gay. but i'm fed up with cheap club music and i like girls.






i gave up the idea of making a label for my own stuff after trying forever to get all the paperwork done. this is just ridiculous how complicated everything is to realise such an easy dream as releasing your own music. and all this only so a few fat ladies sitting in offices working efficiently 2 hours a day and taking their weekend on friday at 1pm can still live from YOUR work... it reminds me so much of asterix and obelix (from min. 2):



so f... it. i'll sell it like that so if some of you are interested by my folk album called "short stories" send me a message i'll figure out how much it cost and send it to you for some little money. i'll make some aggressive promotion to get that album out.

apart of that i had the chance to help out my friend steev lemercier for the music he did for a film by christophe chemin. it was really surprising to see steeve's universe filmed by someone on a big screen at potsdamer platz. i really enjoyed the movie but lot less the talking afterward... when i went i also saw this girl called chloe trying to avoid me. i know her because she is friend with julien from the belmondos or whatever he calls himself now. she came to my place a few times for belmondos rehearsals back then when i was playing in this band. get a life chloe, your behavior is pathetic.

i use this blog as an opportunity to announce a new project with my friend yanneck. we are writing lots of music right now and we are thinking about an album. hard for me to keep details secret but i have to... i'll sing in french that's all i can tell.

the coconuts are still alive. we now have a keyboard player from norway called sandra. vera we miss you but life goes on. i played once the bass for a concert but it's definitely more fun to play congas and snare so i'll keep doing that. we play in prenzlauerberg on wednesday next week in a place called soupanova. come by!

now i'll enjoy my bavarian long weekend in the mountains... have a nice weekend too!

your jules
