..and December is the death of comedy, in Cologne.  Everyone is too preoccupied with Weinachtsmarkts to bother with anything else.  However, this year GEMA have seen fit to increase the licencing fees on Christmas music, to the point where the Weinachtsmarkts can't afford to blast out the usual saccharine rubbish.  This means that my annual quest to find all that is punishing and painful on the current Death Metal scene is somewhat pointless, and I expect their Christmas bonuses will shrink accordingly.
