Hey! Welcome to AP -- thanks for the link to Berlin Now. I heard about it a long time ago but never had a way to get it. It's so heartening to know there are other folks out there who know EN. I'm looking forward to checking out this doc because I have vivid memories of visiting West Berlin way back in the mid 80's before the wall came down. I had the chance to hang at some punk clubs and connect with some really great punks about what was happening politically and in the arts scene. Saw EN a couple times there (and a few times in Chicago, my hometown). It was such a haunted city. The graffiti on the walls of the Berlin Wall was absolutely tremendous. When I look at Stella Maris it's a far cry from their earlier more experimental-noise days with albums like Kollaps and Halber Mensch. It's been interesting to watch them change and morph over the decades. LOVED their live shows. It's a strange, connected world sometimes -- believe it or not I've run into Blixa a few times out here in San Francisco. He's a papa now of a sweet little girl. We used to joke that she inherited his trademark screeches and howls when she was still a wee infant. Thanks for dropping by and taking a peek at my vids. Hope to see you around in some of the forums. How old are you?? I'm 44 this year and if you're interested there's an "over30" forum here where some of us diehard dinosaurs chat and chime-in about different things. Take care and be well x0x
