“It’s very commercial happy dance mysic [sic] basically,” is what Jeremy texted me about this playlist.

Let the Mysic Play

(Tuesday, June 29, 2021 – 6:11pm
England vs. Germany: 0:0)

Volker Zander: Fußball?

Jeremy Deller: Funny. I was going to text you. Good luck!
VZ: Good luck.

JD: Let’s remain friends after regardless of the result. x

VZ: The vibe here is: We are happy whatever happens. Win or lose, who cares. It could be Jogi Löw’s last game and Wembley is always cool. And [Rainbow Emoji] is the new Europe.

JD: Who is that? The manager? I like his hair cut. Very indie.

VZ: Coach. Yes. They have a similar hairstyle: Merkel and Jogi.

JD: Also Wilko Johnson from Dr. Feelgood in 1977

VZ: [sends Google picture search results: „Wilko Johnson 1977 hair“ and „Jogi Löw 2021 hair“]

JD: Exactly.

England vs. Germany: 1:0

JD: I am [Neutral Face Emoji]. Sorry.

VZ: Great goal. Well done. [sends YouTube link: Dr. Feelgood Live 1975 TV Show].

JD: That’s a great clip. Pre Punk.

VZ: Wilko Johnson: Amazing guitar player.

JD: Yes. His technique much loved by the punks. From a strange island in Essex called Canvey Island.
England vs. Germany: 2:0

VZ: Cool goal. That’s it.

JD: You have a player called Can. Number 23.

VZ: You have Kane

JD: Can is better

VZ: [sends YouTube link: Dr. Feelgood. Going Back Home – Rare!] Jogi Löw on guitar. Incredible moving band. Crazy. Long live Wilko Johnson! … Jan Lankisch asks me to write a promo about your Week-End Fest Mixtape. You OK?

JD: Yes. It’s very commercial happy dance mysic [sic] basically.

VZ: Was thinking to mention your text on Wilko Johnson’s hair.

JD: Yes. That sounds good! X
