I have decided after ATP that I should renounce my Neubauten fandom, on account of the fact that too many people saw my fleece and automatically knew who I was. Or maybe I should just shut up and stop going on about them...

Bump

The Thirsty Dog!!!

they didn't pioneer it, look at dadaism and the italian futurists

That fleece was one of the dopest items of clothing I saw all weekend. That and T&B's jacket.

You missed out the 'i'.

You challenging my knowledge of dopestry and all things swish? Bwoy wanna cockback, gessme?

You may all find this hard to believe, but i hate this band.

Hate is a strong emotion.
Is it the band you dislike, or the music they make?

Einstuerzende have been an inspiration to me. Most of the 'must keep' music that I have in my collection features one or all of the E.N. boys.

I'd love to hear them do a cover of 'Expressway..'
And 'Da Yoof' should cover 'Armenia'

id love to hear sy cover tanz debil or thirsty animal - thirsty animal giving the lydia lunch connection

I finally watched "Palast der Republik"

fantastic concert. I loved it that they started with "Haus der Lüge", that fits perfectly for that building

thanks to Sonicl for the recommendation

You're welcome. By the way, their participation in The Dirty Three's ATP is confirmed now.

yeah, i heard that.
Unfortunately i can´t afford to travel to the uk.
But I´m sure they´ll play in vienna soon

There is talk on their website, from a reliable source, of a few UK shows around ATP, but I've not seen any talk of continental shows. But for your sake I hope they do play some. I also hope for the sake of the American fans on the board that they'll play some shows in US / Canada / South America, but from what I understand they're not financially viable.

it´s pretty obvious that they have finacial problems

They may have to get jobs at Ka Da We! I wouldn't risk putting any of them on the meat counter, but maybe Blixa could be a doorman.

haha, that would be funny. Imagine Blixa opening the door and saying "Good morning, sir........... good bye, we wish you a nice day".

no,
i´m going to sign up next week, when i get my money,
how long do you think will phase 3 last?

It's coming towards an end, I think. Part of the package for phase three is "a newly recorded digital download of a miniature track (so-called "Jewels") per month for 12 months, which will form a digital-only album that will not be otherwise available". The tenth of those tracks was released in December, so that part of the project will be complete next month.

mhh,
should i subscribe, what do you think?

If you're happy to pay 35 Euros for a CD, it's worth it, but if things are nearing the end for this phase, then you're not going to get much else for your money.

The CD will be brilliant though.

I´m in a dilemma.
But i´ll probably wait for the next phase.

ahh sonicl you are a wonderful man

What are you're guys favorite 3 or so EN albums? I listened to them years ago, but I think it was the wrong albums......they have a pretty big discography.

My favourites probably aren't a lot of other peoples' favourites:

9-15-2000, Brussells (live)
Halber Mensch
Tabula Rasa

Kollaps
Halber Mensch
Perpetuum Mobile

Good examples of each phase of their career.

Thanks for the recommendations!

watched "Listen with Pain" yesterday -

Damn, there should be law that everyone has to watch this at least 3 times.
Nice Footage from the early 80s up to 1999 and very interesting interviews.

Highly recommendet !

^
I've repeatedly wondered about getting that, but I'm sure that I've seen bad reviews of it on the Neubauten website.

Have you seen "Liebeslieder"? I have a feeling that one of the complaints about "Listen With Pain" may be that it repeats a lot of stuff that was on "Leibesleider". Can you say if that is the case?

Sorry, can´t say anything about that, haven´t watched Liebeslieder yet and so most of the footage seemed new to me.
I really like the bonus material - studio footage of the Silence is Sexy recordings.

Don't buy 'Listen With Pain'. It's another one of Stevo's scams to try and make money out of EN without the band receiving a penny.
The man has no shame.

Anyone going to see them at KoKo next week?

Yes, I went onto the Neubauten supporters forum and found that was what is was being slated for.


Of course!

see you there then!

Oh, haven´t bought it, i borrowed it from a friend who has it. Anyways,
I really enjoyed it even though it´s one of Some Bizzare´s releases.
Fuck that stupid Dandy Stevo Pearce, though!!

I still hope that the Neubauten will add some more European dates.

Maybe the people of Nottingham took offence at the misspelling of their city's name. :)
