In a deeper sense, no clue. In a purely shallow sense, Hedi Slimane. Stevie in First Class.

Who I'd like to meet: Judee Sill. Paul McCartney. Robert Fraser. Your Buckaroo. Stevie in First Class. Anyone in Berlin who wants to help me achieve my eventual musical climax, which I fully expect to last for the rest of my life. Or at least somebody that will take German classes with me. So far all I have is, "Zwei astra, bitte." Not very extensive, and it only works in and around Hamburg, as I understand. But that's alright with me, if I have to get my language courses at the Golden Pudel Club, so be it.
Can I ever hope for a Voxtrot show sometime in the near future? Or has The Voxtot gone the way of The Duckhills... The Handsome Charlies... The Kissinger?
AND... Arrested Development, Extras, and The Office.
