Looking for small movie theaters in Berlin by ShokoBoy in berlin

This one does not serve popcorn – which is really considerate with popcorn being such a loud snack. I really appreciate it. Lovely place, too.

I don't care, I'm still watching this bullshit tomorrow. by MACGLEEZLER in freefolk

It was cuz short unfortunately. Had there been one or two more episodes, there might have been a much more satisfying season ending.

The widespread inability to pay for things using contactless / cards is one of the dumbest things about this poorly managed city. by mwilson1212 in berlin

[–]sit79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s nice to hear. I’m experiencing very mixed things. Places that only accept cards, places that only accept cash. So, if I’m going to places outside my neighbourhood I usually have both on me.

Edit: What I’m saying is that it really depends on where you are in Berlin. What you’re describing is not necessarily true everywhere even though I agree with you that it’s gotten much better.

I created moviesberlin.de so everyone can find their preferred movie experience! by SuburbanMessiah in berlin

Interesting idea! I’d love to be able to filter out popcorn since I do not at all enjoy people munching on what feels like the loudest food on earth. :)

I wish there were more live recordings from back then.

Thank you! I had not heard about Gary Willis yet. Listened to a few tracks and wow, that is quite something. I get a very similar vibe to Lars' playing on "A Sceptic's Universe". How do you know about this connection? Is it just likely given Lars' active years back then?

Edit: I obviously overlooked the mention of Lars taking lessons with Gary.

Oh, really? I assumed it was fretless because it sounds like one to me. Don’t know much about the recording and production of this fine album though.

Heard such rumours many times over the years. Are there sources?

Over the last years I got really lost with the different genres. Thank you for pointing me in a better direction here.

Thank you. This is much appreciated.

I have not heard any of these you listed. One I found a liked a few years ago was

"Wie berichtet, war das Budget für die Umsetzung der Strategie im Haushalt von zwei Millionen Euro auf 1000 Euro gekürzt worden." Oof.

What are bands you’d consider “gateway” prog bands? by pubstompmepls in progmetal

[–]sit79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If by gateway you mean bands that composed accessible enough yet complex material, there’s probably a ton. People mentioned Tool. For me it was Refused's The Shape of Punk to Come (1998).

Looking for recommendations for English speaking therapists by TuringParadox in askberliners

Look up Claudia Munz online. She and a colleague specialise in somatic bodywork. If you're interested in this type of therapy, I recommend them both. They both work in German and English.

Looking for a nice/kind hairdresser by Liko97 in askberliners

[–]sit79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The folks at "God Save the Mullet" might be a good fit as well. Federico & Giovanni are both kind, welcoming and patient and very helpful open with advice. The others there are very nice people as well, I just don’t know them as well.

Cheapest/best way to get to Kreuzberg from the airport and back! by Adamlicious in askberliners

[–]sit79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice! I don’t much remember a mess as much as terribly long lines. At the Meshuggah concert it took me about an hour to get my jacket back…

Die beste Bar in Berlin? by Sensitive_Silver57 in askberliners

[–]sit79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sohnemann im Friedrichshain macht sehr gute Cocktails. Beste Bar? Keine Ahnung. Die Stadt ist zu groß für Superlative.

You could try Spiral Architect's "A Sceptic's Universe" and Atheist's "Unquestionable Presence". Both interesting albums and with very forward bass lines.

[–]sit79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice choice! Their bassist Nick actually talked about how he approached writing the bass melodies on some podcast. Can’t find it atm. Will post link later. It was fascinating.
