| Post subject: | Mother of Pearl - Berlin Style |
Found this interesting article about - 'Risko' - infamous 80's Berlin Club / Bar. The owner loved Roxy Music - especially Mother of Pearl .. https://thequietus.com/articles/29570-r ... xa-bargeld If you don't want to read the whole article - Here is the relevant chapter .. Kögler was also a huge music fan, getting obsessed with individual songs. Somehow hearing of how often he played ‘Aural Sculpture’, The Stranglers once sent a postcard to the bar to thank him. Maria Zastrow remembers him jumping around to his favourite music. “He always had these ‘hits’. Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s ‘Relax’ was his favourite song for a month or so, he played it all the time. He also liked glam rock very much. He loved Bryan Ferry, and wanted to be like Bryan Ferry with his suits. He wanted to be the best dressed man in town.” Blixa confirms, “Alex Kögler was a huge Roxy Music fan. And being a coke fiend, in the early hours one night he was playing ‘Mother Of Pearl’ endlessly on repeat. Two strippers were at the bar and for some reason one of them ended up being taken outside by a building site worker. They somehow managed to strap her onto a giant crane and lift her up over the rooftops while the crane drove around. Meanwhile we had the door open and ‘Mother Of Pearl’ was blaring in the background while Alex Kögler stood staring up at the spectacle with a bottle of beer in his hand. It was unbelievable, completely surreal.” |
