of course. very familiar; thought it was brilliant.

counterpoint: chacha is a great drink that will get you very drunk

he did have a good sex work take not too long ago after people found his girlfriend's onlyfans. basically boiled down to "i don't give a shit and it's weird that you do"

of course! happy to share :)

There's a ton of great East German cinema, big shame it doesn't get the appreciation it should.

The most famous (and probably my favorite) is "The Legend of Paul and Paula". Fucking weird movie, basically a romance story with some odd twists and turns. There's one trippy sequence in particular that has stuck with me for years.

"Divided Heaven" is another good one. Basically about a woman who must choose between her boyfriend/the decadence of the West and helping the people of the East (I'm sure you can guess what she chooses).

"Apaches" is interesting if you want to see an East German western. Spoiler: the US are not the good guys.

If you want to see a movie immediately about the war, both "I was 19" and "The Murderers are Among Us" give a good idea about war and post war ideology.

I have a soft spot for "Solo Sunny" because it's about music (and it's also quite good!)

Finally, "Coming Out" if you want to see an East German gay film. Pretty good, too!

Not sure where you can find these. I know some were on Kanopy for a bit, so that might be the best place to start. Look for DEFA films, that's the production company.

oh man I have so many recs. here are some specific tracks (would link but my internet is currently shit):

TITLE - ARTIST

Am Fenster - City

Mont Klamott - Silly <--- probably my favorite

Der blaue Planet - Karat

Ich fahr an die Küste - Transit

No Bomb - Berluc <--- ostdeutsch punk, pretty fun

Rock'n Roll im Stadtpark - Pankow <---more punk

I.L.D. - Rockhaus <--- east german glam rock

katzen bei nacht - Petra Zieger & Band <--- sounds like tiffany

Champus Lied - Angelika Mann

spielverderber - Inka

let me know which one of these you like the most and I'll try to give more recs, I'm fairly well versed in East German cultural stuff.

good luck! don't worry about it — it can be a little finicky but you can totally manage it.

If you know how to solder it's pretty easy. Headphone problems are 95 times out of 100 some problem with the plug/jack, so if you swap that out you should be good. Feel free to DM if you need a walkthrough.

Without soldering it's pretty much impossible, but soldering really isn't that hard especially with something like headphone jacks.

they discuss climate change. which is apparently "political bias"

proles is now "invent the future". not as lively but still pretty good

woooOOOOOOO! can't wait

it's still good, at least in germany. use it all the time.

EDIT: lol fuck of course it's owned by amazon now

stop posting this shit on main. I don't know who this dude is. reddit isn't real life. stop it.

what is this? intrigued.
