TOP10 #1

The first time, I do this. Top songs (that I found on Youtube) at the moment:

#1 Einstürzende Neubauten - die befindlichkeit des landes
Well, first I slept way too long on this band, once I listened through "halber Mensch" I became the biggest fan of their old songs and then I somehow was too lazy to check their newer stuff. This song is off their "Silence is sexy" Release, which came out in 2000, I think. One of their best songs and this live video fits the mood of the song perfectly.



#2 Adolescents - amobea
Saw them two days ago. This band wrote "Kids of the black hole" as well as "Amobea", so they basically did everything right.



#3 For Against - sabres
Great and underrated American band. Though they don't really sound american. Maybe that's why they never gained much attention. They're still around, hope to see them sometime. By the way, you know that band from Canada, "The Organ"? Check this out. It's basically a 1 on 1 rip-off.



#4 Deftones - passenger
I wanna do drugs with Chino. Really, fuck the haters. This band is way more than some whacky New-Metal. White Pony - good record. While we're at it: I never got into Tool. What's wrong with me?



#5 Neurosis & Jarboe - within
So, first there was Swans, then Neurosis came. Both had a huge influence on the independent underground with their nihilistic sound walls and the fear they'd create with their music. This song is Neurosis playing the music and singer Jarboe Swans recording some seriously disturbing noises/speeches/melodies.



#6 Swans - love will save you
This song is off the White Light from the Mouth of Infinity album, which has a huge wyrd/neo-folk touch. Song's nice and so are the lyrics. Can't get this track out of my head since I first heard it.


#7 Rome - die brandstifter
It's like Death in June and Tom Waits having a dinner, getting drunk and recording. This could have been the result of said party.

"You admire the lions, you despise all the sheep.
But following lions makes nothing but sheep"

#8 Against Me! - sink, florida, sink
It's not realling fitting into the list, but it's such a beautiful song. Especially in it's accustic version.



#9 The Waterboys - this is the sea
Irish new wave/pop group back in the eighties. My father once gave me a best-of CD of them and I became a fan pretty fast. I know, the sax sounds strange at times, but nevermind. They like to sing about nature, spirit and stuff, which is awesome.



#10 Current 93 & Nick Cave - all the pretty little horses
David Tibet teams up with Mister Cave and this is the beautiful result.

1 JAHR IPHONE, DIE BILANZ

Posting twice a day, afer haven't posted within 6 months. This is beyond Crazy. Anyway, I figured out, how to manage my saved Iphone pictures. Some have to get deleted off of the phone, so that I'll have more storage for Krautrock. Got it? Here we go...

Chinese peeps do this in order to protect themselves from the Swine-Flu:

No BBQ without some REAL booze:

One could think, that this picture has something to do with the one above. It's not the case, really.

Hay!

ACAB

Storm & Stress / Seed of Pain / PainStorm Tour, Fall 08. No one cared, we had three day-offs, Flavio broke Edge, we listened to Hot Water Music. It's all good.

Tetris.

Me and Jack, we always managed to get the best places in the van.

summarize the past

Thanks to the newest edition of THE HEAT, people find out about this blog I did and do sometimes. Well, first off: It's not my fault that Dominik Heat didn't print the current issue within the last... 12 months or so, haha! But on the other hand it's also not his fault that in the meantime my whole life-situation turned upside down almost completely. However, if there's one thing that remains, it's my absolute taste in music. I mean, say what you want, but most people don't even have this. All jokes asides: If you don't already have a copy of THE HEAT III, go and manage to buy one. Fuckhead. But since nobody else would check this site anyway, I assume, changes are pretty big you already bought it.


I have to get myself a copy as well. I can't even remember what I've been asked. Kinda strange. I'm pretty sure there are some folks around who hope that I turn up pretty ashamed of some things I did and spoke about in the past (or in even in this specific interview). I mean, I won't lie. I've always had a big mouth and I can be pretty ignorant at sometimes. This has always been like this since I was a little child, so... even due to the fact, that I'm still growing up and blah, this probably will never change. So, there'll always be situations like these. And in the end of the day, I couldn't care less about people describing me as a sell-out, a hipster, a try-to-be-quiet-progressive or whatever. Let them listen to Cold World. Ha! (Speaking of being an arrogant big mouth...)


By the way, may I get your attention for some news in my own business?


Seed of Pain is still busy. We're currently getting all our stuff together for our record, finishing some art-work details, rehearsing for the release-shows, getting some serious extravaganza bombastico lights, videoanimations and other ridiculous stuff. Honestly, I think this could turn out pretty bad, so be prepared for some LOL-moments.
