Lars Meijer / Hunter Complex

Aachen, with two beautiful expos at the Ludwig Forum: Rochelle Feinstein (Red Dawn!) and Amy Sillman, a visit to the fantastic Plattenbau record store, the Dom and more.

D.O.A. playing Fucked Up Donald at the Ballonfabrik in Augsburg.

Legendary punk band D.O.A. and awesome locals Scumbag Roads at the Ballonfabrik in Augsburg. Lovely city, with some nice finds at Pits Record Store.

Nürnberg, with the impressive Kongresshalle and Zeppelinfeld on the Reichsparteitagsgelände, and some digging at mono-Ton and the excellent Vinylio.

Rainy Bamberg. Still colourful though, with some spectacular views over the city, a new romantic rose garden, great finds at Monochrom Records and dramatic sunsets at the campsite.

Köln day 2: Eigelstein-Viertel, Drake Records, Museum Ludwig with as a highlight the video expo on children's games by Francis Alys, the Mosul Iraq being particularly impressive and heartbreaking, and the Rhein river.

Köln day 1: Museum for East-Asian Arts, Belgisches Viertel, three record stores (Parallel Schallplatten, Andrä, a-Musik), view from Poll on the Rhein river.

Yes! Finally found this one in the wild! Argentinian wave from '87, reissued by the mighty @darkentries.bsky.social. At Parallel Schallplatten in Köln.
