Just been away for short break to Vienna, emphasise the short here; Left Fri night, returned Sunday night. Somewhere in between 'we', (Boopy doo and I) found enough time to explore some groovy boheme clothe shops, have a wee trawl through BLACKMARKET RECORDS - a treasure trove of German house/funk/deepsoul/beats delights where I disappeared for several hours & experience the 'real christmas market' - with hot mulled wine and charcoal cooked wedges. Forget City Hall christmas market guys, these are the people that invented it! Apart from that we lazed in supercool austro-germanic cafes and watched the wooly attired pensive Austrians swan by..
Heard 'Pepe Bradocks - Deep burnt' epic deep house tune in one of these and spent the rest of weekend with it in my head.I memorised the sound and didn't find out what it was till I got home.
Was a press trip for Boops, so while she gathered some info all I had to do was take the odd photo and stay in a 4 star hotel ( shucks someones got to do it, Definitely a place worth more exploration, would like to have uncovered some real life Hundertwasser and checked out some vienna nightlife of the Kruder & Dorfmeister variety. Save that for next time.
By the way they have some of the best transport systems in Europe, for example you can check in your bags at the railway station and you don't have to lift them again till you step off the plane back in Belfast. Comon Ulsterbus!!!!
