How has your summer been so far? I had a great holiday and a few fine weekends.

I danced with loved ones and lost my Dirty Projectors shirt at the La Pampa Festival.
I spent the best evening in music so far in 2010 at the Schokoladen Hoffest.
I discovered a surprising way to greet an alien life form at the L*Abore.
I got to feel the wrath of the mayor of Friedland at the Jenseits von Millionen.

And I hardly took any pictures, which usually means that I'm having an exceptionally good time.

And it's on. A previously unreleased Petula song has found a home on the Jenseits von Millionen 2010 mixtape. Go and grab "Plukk" and many other good songs over at Rote Raupe. And one song off "Elephant Dresses" can be found on the latest issue of the Finest Noise series. All tape orders via the Petulacamp will get a free copy while supplies last. All digital orders will get a holiday photo.

 

Two shows are coming up, more are in the making. Stay tuned, there'll be details!

11 SEP 10 Görlitz, Fokus 2010 w/ Jahcoozi, Talking To Turtles and others
24 SEP 10 Hamburg, Reeperbahnfestival w/ everyone, it seems

In 2009, a couple of days before leaving for a couple of shows, I realised that I probably would not finish the "Elephant Dresses" album before leaving Berlin, probably not even before 2010. And I had an idea. And I shared that idea with my friend Conrad of Froggi Records. And thus, a new Petula EP and a new label - Floppi Records - were conceived. In the following weeks, Petula and Floppi Records put out five versions of a floppy disk EP called "Brothers". Each week of touring featured a new one-and-a-half-minute song, following a pattern I made up as I went along. Then, the tour was over. A few floppy EPs have survived, you can get them at the Floppi/Froggi page.

Or you can get a new online version with re-recorded vocals and a new track to make up for the lack of the beautiful physical medium. I finished this version today and put it up on my bandcamp page. Which is where, in due time, you'll also find "Elephant Dresses" and other good things. More on this, release dates, touring and other plans later this week.
