Agreed, That Sounds Like Paul To Me.

Agreed, that sounds like Paul to me.

Rammstein and Depeche Mode 2001

On press conference in Tallinn 2001 Paul and Flake were asked following: 

  You’ve made a cover of Depeche Modes song “Stripped”, How do you feel about this band?

When we made this cover, we didn’t know them. We were asked to cover a song for the Depeche Mode tribute record. We’ve met them a few times, but we don’t know them very well. Their singer doesn’t drink anymore, goes to bed immediately after the concert. And with Martin Gore, we don’t know if he likes men or women.

It does not say here who answered this but to my ears it sounds a lot like Paul, because he like to bring the gay topic into interviews. But then it also kind of sounds like Flake … 

This picture is taken at award show in Germany. Fanboy Richard does not even try to hide that he would like to eat Martin alive. And look how well both frontmen are side by side. 

Let me see if I can not mess this up... I have an important addition...

CHRISTIAN LORENZ is amazing!

Just to group them for myself, here's another PaulandFlake band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjwyR1TSPeY

... Talking about PaulAndFlake's musical endeavors: Rammwiki says that Flake & Piet was Flake + his mysterious neighbor Piet, but here's what I found in Mix mir einen Drink:

Wenn gar niemand zu greifen war, machte ich eben mit Paul etwas. 1991 erschien unter den Namen Flake und Piet eine Kassette, die hieß »Goessel beinhart«. Abstrakt strukturierte Elektronik mit Titeln wie »Der Damenschneider« oder »Granatendub«. Ich habe mir die Kassette jetzt mal wieder angehört. Das ist wirklich harter Tobak. Junge, Junge, sage ich da nur.

Which I would (badly) translate as:

If no one else was available, I would do something with Paul. In 1991, a cassette was released under the name Flake und Piet, which was called "Goessel beinhart" ("Tough gosling"??). Abstractly structured electronics with titles such as "Der Damenschneider" ("The Tailor for Ladies") or "Granatendub" ("Grenades Dub"). I've listened to the cassette again lately. This is really tough stuff. Boy, boy, I'm just saying.

... From which I understand that Piet-the-neighbor is actually Paul. But I don't know for sure. Anyway, it sounds like a lot of fun.

😜 🤡✏️ fanfic ask!

😜 Describe a current WIP without using character names. (Points if your followers guess who the fic is for.)

Just one scene - At a party where neither are drinking, CharA makes an effort to cook, but CharB takes over and CharA flirts with them and both have a nice time.

🤡 What’s the dumbest thing you’ve written?

I mean, Richard drawing on Flake's butt was pretty dumb :D

✏️ What is your fave fic from another writer?

We're going to be here all day if I have to pick just one, but a few lesser-known favorites are last of the gang to bleed out, My Girl., and Switch and Swap.
