# Counting With Roosevelt
[**Roosevelt**][1]{: target="_blank"} is a young musician and producer
from Cologne (recently transplanted to Berlin) whose debut solo EP of
sunny synth pop will be released in May courtesy of the
[Greco-Roman][2]{: target="_blank"} label (you might have heard of them,
they've released records by **Disclosure** and **Joe Goddard**, amongst
others). His new track ["Around You"][3]{: target="_blank"} recently
found its way into our [EB Favorites of the Week][4]{: target="_blank"},
and he'll be playing alongside **Karin Park** and **Lana Del Rey** at
our [festival in Prague][5]{: target="_blank"} on April 13th. We asked
to get his digits and here's what he said...
1 memorable line in a film or song:
*"Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity/To seize everything you
ever wanted in one moment/Would you capture it or just let it slip?"
-- *Eminem "Lose Yourself"
**2 decisions I regret:**
-- to carry my Juno 60 to every gig
-- to play that one gig last year without it
**3 people that should collaborate:**
Jacques Renault, Mickey Moonlight, Joakim
**4 things I haven't done yet:**
-- replaced my DJ headphones
-- find the person that stole them at my last gig
-- start [*The Wire*][6]{: target="_blank"}
-- finish a remix
**5 things I used to believe:**
-- I don't ever need a bed
-- John Lennon was the best Beatle
-- *The Hobbit* is going to be a great movie
-- Things used to be in black & white
-- I will never move to Berlin
**6 hours ago . . .**
I was sitting on a chair, in the sky (partaking in the miracle of human
flight)
**7 records everyone should own:**
The Notwist -- *Neon Golden*
Arthur Russell -- *Calling Out Of Context*
Fleetwood Mac -- *Rumours*
Supermayer -- *Save The World*
Talking Heads -- *Remain In Light*
Paul McCartney -- *McCartney II*
COMA -- *In Technicolor*
**After 8 p.m. . . .**
I will start to answer my phone
**My 9 lives . . .**
Vacation
**I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole:**
Vinyl~
