Besides my beloved Telecaster, made by eversoexpanding (now that is a word!) chinese production, I also have a bass guitar, made by a famous Tajfun (yes, it means typhoon) manufacturer. And last night I had a dream about us getting ready to play, and to play with David Byrne and his band. Before the sound check we were taking our instruments out of our van, The Cow, and some small latin american guy, that happened to be their bass player in this dream, asked me if I could sell my Tajfun bass to him. The guy didn't speak any english, so David himself translated it to me from spanish. And my verycool answer was Oh, yes, I would sell you my bass, but, you know, I only paid one hundred Deutsche Mark for it, so I can't. He smiled and said something in spanish and David translated it like Ah, nothing then. I woke up soon after that and that was it.
In few days, at Byrne's concert in Zagreb, I'll see that the bass player is actually a pretty big black guy, who probably has a respectable english vocabulary, even though he will probably play music much more than talk. At least it was like that two years ago in Ljubljana.
And so, I obviously sleep much more than I play, as like as the other band members, I suppose. We don't have any rehearsals, any gigs, life is a summer vacation, we don't play anywhere this summer, we are wicked and we're lazy on the sun, lazy on the rain, wind and lightning, some of the girls fuck using the computer and cybersex clothes, we don't give a fuck abut when we are going to join the EU, and A beer in front of the National theatre remains A beer in front of the National theatre, no matter wich president is that square called after, because The Well Of Life is there, and it is superior to any government...whoops, not to become too pathetic, we go to the new fragment :)
And in the new fragment is written that we got some bad news: Kooglana, the cool rock club in Koprivnica changes it's policy, programme scheme and programme creators, 'due to some profitability problems', as the owners put it. It will probably become some pour-many-drinks-and-put-commercial-cd-in-stereo club that earns money but doesn't do any good- something we've seen toooo many times in the last decade. We just want to say Thank You to Angelo and the crew, they've realy done big stuff in a small town. We hope they will continue with their work succesfully and we're all here to help them. Fuck it, I just can't avoid being pathetic today, I guess it's the weather, rain and stuff...You can check them out at www.zlatnakoogla.com and www.dopmagazin.com
I don't know if they have english versions of their websites, but if you manage to go through my english, you shouldn't have many problems understanding croatian :)

Now I can see why a drink called STOMACKlija got that name. And yet last night I went to sleep thinking it does good to ones stomack... Well, maybe it shouldn't be mixed with bad beer, suspicious liquor, good wine and a heated fast eating sandwich from the local poisoner. But, what the hell, it was our first (and last? Nooo!) time playing on the main square in our town, in front of the whole bunch of people passing by and a few less intentional viewers, and it was really fun! Finaly we got on the stage which is big enough for all of us, without making too much of a crowd on it. From now on, we should play in the auditorium and put the audience on stage. That shouldn't be too big problem, considering the usual amount of people comming to watch our gigs ( one time,in a bar in Lyon, we outnumbered the audience, I recon it was 8:6 in our advantage :)).
In the beginning of may we played in Kragujevac, Serbia and we made it there very well too, and we were also the first Croatians who have heard the almost winning Euro song 'Lane moje' live, in a punk version by 'Snovopoveziva�i kukuruzovine' (do NOT try to pronounce this at home), a band that played that night before we did. We also played the 'Karlovac' theatre play in Kragujevac, Belgrade and Prijepolje. I have eaten so many pljeskavica's in these three days, that I still run away whenever my mother offeres me one for lunch or something. Then I sit in front of the tv and I see that the croatian tv viewers have given the maximum 12 points to 'Lane moje' on Eurovision song contest. And they haven't even heard the right version!
And yes, kids, here's some coins for you, run arround and shout 'The guestbook is working again! The gustbook is working again!'. As we don't know what was wrong with it, we also don't now what's now right with it. But the main thing is that the young chap is working.
If only he doesn't crack down of all that work. Summer is comming to us, refresh him gently :)
And Lana, please, throw the old news where they belong :)
I don't know what we should do with that girl, she's becoming lazier and lazier every day. Almost as lazy as the rest of us. We cannot afford that ;)

It was 1st May yesterday,so I tried very hard not to do any work at all, just to eat and drink, and I made it. Today is sunday, so I could try it again.
If you are wondering why our guestbook doesn't work, you are welcome to continue wondering, because we don't know why. Something is wrong, and we don't know when it will stop being wrong.
The exact dates of our little serbian tour are finaly confirmed. We're gonna visit Kragujevac and Prijepolje with the band and the theatre play 'Karlovac', and Beograd with the theatre play only. The details are shown under the 'concerts'.
At the end of May, we are gonna play at the celeberation of The Day of the City of Zagreb, our dearest hometown, on the main square, believe it or not! Lucky as we are, there will probably be rainig like hell. At least.
