Roomie and I's Relationship Described. I would be the one on the right.
You know, as many issues as I have with Rammstein's management when it comes to their powers of North American promotion, this story of fannish alarm-raising is too dubious even for me. From Rammstein Honeymoon on Rosenrot:
I sent a message to Finger about the lack of promo for the North American tour and he was under the impression that they were all sold out already and because of that, no promotion was neccessary. I explained that I realize that promo is not his job but the shows are not sold out and someone within Rammstein management should know.
So...you've got Finger's email address? Okay, I might be able to buy that. Stranger things have happened. But...isn't Finger Till's body man, the same body man that fandom swore was leaving the Rammstein organization after the MSG show? In fact, fen reported that Till was so upset by the loss of his trusted friend that he spent much of the NYC afterparty(an afterparty that Guitarzk had heard from Richard himself wasn't going to happen, trufax)that he spent it in a dour drunk and had to be helped out by Nele. That Finger. A guy who, according to fen, hasn't been with the organization since December.
You emailed a guy who supposedly doesn't work for the band anymore to complain about the lack of promotion, and even though he supposedly doesn't work for the band anymore, he's worried enough to raise the issue with management.
Bullshit.
This story is so full of holes. Either this woman is being duped, or the fannish grapevine that was so sure Finger was leaving the band's employ got it wrong.
A few problems:
-If Finger left Rammstein's employ in December, then he wouldn't be in a position to raise the issue of promotion with them.
-If he didn't leave the band's employ, then the fact remains that Finger is part of the band's security detail and might not have anything to do with promotional affairs.
-There is no way that Pilgrim isn't well goddamn aware of how the tickets are moving. According to a large part of this bandom, Pilgrim are control freaks who know exactly how many condoms a band member has on his person at a given time or how many pubes Olli left on the toilet seat the last time he visited the loo. The same person spouting this story also offered up a rambling, cryptic anecdote about how Rammstein granted some radio producer named Mike Sullivan an interview in Quebec, and then forbade him from disseminating the interview anywhere because the band had been burned so often by negative press. One then wonders why the hell they granted the interview in the first place, but never mind.
So now I'm supposed to believe that this legendarily meticulous, controlling group of micromanagers has no idea how many tickets they've sold and have been walking around for several weeks under the mistaken impression that the shows were sold out, thereby relieving them of the need to do further promotion.
Lie harder next time.Say you emailed Emu.

Apparently, Joe Letz posted this on Combichrist's blog:
it's been some months since we've seen the RAMMSTEIN guys, so at about 12:30, trevor and i hopped in a taxi cab and headed on over to richard's house for... A SECOND BREAKFAST! FML! i was SO full. if i knew richard would be cooking one of his amazing mid day meals i would have waited, but i forced it down anyways. he makes on killer steak tartar, i'll tell ya THAT!... after hangin there for a couple of hours we headed off to paul's for some coffee and a tour of his amazing loft space which he pretty much built and decorated all on his own.... i love loft living, so i really appreciated the love he put into the place.

Is the consumption of raw or rare meats common in Germany? Not long ago,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
schwester_grimm mentioned making Hackepeter brotchen. Well, I'd never heard of this, so I looked it up. It's raw minced pork mixed with onions and a raw egg and spread over bread. My American palate, which has been taught that raw pork is death in a cold lump of pig, seized and hid beneath the couch. Once I recovered from the visceral horror, I did a bit of further research and found that German pork has a much lower risk of pathogenic or parasitic contamination because it's often much fresher and the pigs are held in a cleaner environment. It said nothing about the safety of raw egg, so I'm assuming that they're just willing to accept the risk.
