amen. i can attest to that. but the entire city is a big shit show. in startups i've seen it. countless low-pay-workers (students who need money) who do useless shit all day. devops who actually do 2 jobs for one salary. ceo's feeling special drowning in certain circles or think they accomplish sth when one of those useless shithead ministers come and look around, talk lies about how they'll improve investmemt regulation. this city is one giant tourist multi cultural smoke screen. there's not even one club playing good music (that is, music of my taste). everywhere it's all just weird electronic or rock/pop crap mixed by dirt cheap dj's who take the word "mix" too literally.

Wow, I felt the opposite about Berlin's music scene. (I guess we have differing tastes?) I'd fly across from Australia because Berlin had a goth/rock/metal nightclub with 5 floors that ran multiple nights every week, and in my hometown we were lucky to get a 'club' organized in a bar once a month. (I'll really miss K17.) I also liked Last Cathedral, not much of a club but a great place to relax with a drink & some Rammstein. There was an excellent jazz bar that opened just off Kurfürstendamm, open every night of the week, and not only was the music excellent, but the bartenders were brilliant and cared about their whiskey. I wish we had a jazz bar like that in my hometown. And while it's cheesy mainstream pop/rock, I loved seeing Unheilig and Bollmer perform live in Berlin, something I'd never see in Australia. (Totally worth the airfare.) An acquaintance of mine even moved from Australia to Berlin to build his recording studio there. I'm really sorry you didn't find what you were looking for in Berlin :(

"this city is one giant tourist multi cultural smoke screen." Care to elaborate? What's the smokescreen hiding?
