“Ich Muss Garnix” by the Berlin combo Grossstadtgeflüster is just THE song to dance to right now. For example on parties like this one, where I first heard the song. And they have exactly these slightly weird electronic sounds and beats (e.g. right at the start of “Kuemmer Dich” and “Haufenweise Scheisse”) that I love. The sound in “Haufenweise Scheisse” reminds me a bit of an old Josh-Wink-remix of “Higher State of Consciousness” which I somehow lost. Darn.
PS: Isn’t “Overdressed and Underfucked” a wonderful title for a song? The song itself is great, too. If there ever is a category “Best Song Title”, that will be the winner.
I just watched The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. It’s a surprisingly slow movie with great colours. They reminded me a bit of Road to Perdition but are darker and sadder. Speaking of sadness, the soundtrack is astonishing. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis added so much to the movie, I really have to get it. The score together with the narrator really help telling the story.
By the way: Fabulous acting by Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck.
Preslisa, die so schön bei Lemmings in Love von pornophonique mitsingt, gibt heute abend am 11. April (danke für den Hinweis) ein Konzert in Berlin. Ich hab nur drei Songs von ihr gehört, und ich sach mal: Klingt sehr nett. Aber wo, hör ich die Leser fragen. Gemach, hier ist er, der Ort:
BOOM!, Thomasstr. 27, Neukölln
Zwei Hörbeispiele von Preslisa gibt’s hier oder hier. Ich kann heute abend leider nicht, aber sagt mal an, wie’s war.
What a bliss: Lisa Gerrard (who has one of my all-time favourite voices) and Orbital blending together in the wonderful song “One Perfect Sunrise”.
*sigh*
For years, Tori Amos has been one of my favourite artists.
And Putting The Damage On from the great album Boys For Pele is still such a wonderful song.
