Loch Ness Marathon
I completed the Loch Ness marathon this sunday and that was a blast. We had been invited by GORE to run the race. Yes, another great trip with my part time job at Marathon Sport - best job ever!
Loch Ness is a great race - but god damn hard for the legs. I was not that well prepared and it was my first marathon since Berlin '97. After the first 12 miles my calfs were cramping and the last 6 km was pure pain and the pace was + 6min/km. I had 1:34 after 13 miles and 3:34 at the finish, so the second half turned out to be the worst.
The route was really challeging for a lowlander as me and I was surprised about how steep the downhill parts were.
The sighting was scenic and the weather was okay. Rain at the beginning but sunny at the end. After the race the real challange was to get back to the hotel and into the bus. I could hardly walk the 1,5 mile. But we ended drinking beers in the bus and headed back to Edinburgh for our stay at Dalhousie Castle - and what a treat. Great dinner and the next day we enjoyed the spa.
Monday we headed back to Copenhagen and I was almost unable to walk till today...
Anyway, as I should I also visited some cool record shops in Edingburgh the friday we arrived and bought some 7" as souvenirs. The shops were Avalanche Records and Unknown Pleasures. I also headed for Vinyl Villains saturday morning but the were not open...

Berlin is fucking great - Day 4½
Well, the last 1½ day we spent as tourist walking Kreuzberg and visiting shops and stuff. We also saw East Side Galley and some other cool street art. Monday evening we ate at Il Casolare supposed to be a cool pizza place with band tags and so. Sally had read about it in Exberliner. Well, if you like to wait and be served like shit it's cool - but I'm too used to that living at Nørrebro, so not much to write about, The Whitest Boy alive had tagged the wall at our table and we saw f...... Tim Christensen with a too young chick at another table - not that cool!. Anyway, the neighbourghood was cozy looking like Amsterdam. After that we went to White Trash Fast Food and had beers and tequilas. I found it pretty lame as such, but it might be cool when there's bands playing the basement lounge... I probably forgot a lot about these days, exept that it rained most of the time so we also visited quite a lot of cafees. Well, I also bought a casette tape with Ole Lukkoye in Groove Records.

Ian Fairweather and C. F. von Schalburg
I have spent the morning in front of my TV watching a biography about the artist Ian Fairweather on Swedish Radio and thereafter a documentary about the Danish SS Nazi commander von Schalburg. Both programs were very enlightning. I had absolutely no knowledge about Fairweather and his lifestory was damn strange. I really recommend you go read about this strange caractor.
Von Schalburg is mainly know for a corpse of nazis terrorising the Danish people during the last years of WW2, also called schalburgtage. To my surprise he had nothing to do with this and was simply a aritocratic russian bought anti-communist living his hate out throug the SS. He was also one of Himmlers darlings because of his "pure Germanic blood" - damned strage story.
Anyway, after so much education I headed of to the recordshops Mint and Soundstation and bought some cool and cheap records. Soundstation had some sale and I ended up with 47% pricereduction ... I guess he cheated him self?!

Repo Man Records - 2 Years in business
Talkin' bout record shops in Copenhagen, it's nice to tell that Repo Man celebrated 2 years of existence last week. They held a nice reception and had Thomas Function play at Wascator just across the street later on. Great weather and nice people. Glad I had the day off because of vacation sinze they started out at 2 pm. I really think that Repo Man has established themself as a serious shop here to stay. Best thing is that it's just 5 min away from my residence ... ;-)Thomas Function | Wascator | Review of the day at LowCut
Æter - When size doesn't matter
I guess the record shop Æter is the smallest shop ever in Copenhagen. You can hardly squeeze in, but its cool. They sell vinyl and other stuff like t-shirts and sunglasses - and if you're nice you might get a cup of coffee. Kind of a collective for different creative people into this and that.
