Got a new guitar! I was just in Munich a few weeks ago with DIrk Darmstädter and his amazing sidekick Lars while they were touring for Dirk's new Dylan covers record. Brilliant show, by the way. Anyway, my main destination was our friendly Martin wholesaler Andreas at AMI Instruments. I got a wee "Li'L Martin" and have been strummin' away. So cute n' little, and it smells delightful. Thanks Andreas!

In other news: late April I'll be heading up to Hamburg with my sidekicks (Miriam Adameit and Tim Potzas) to record a new CD of old T-Wi songs in all their minimalistic intimacy. It's for the fans who've been wishing for an "acoustic" CD similar to how I perform my songs live. The new record should follow in the autumn, but there's no rushing genius, people.
