Einstürzende Neubauten - 'Ende Neu'
Music for the apocalypse, by 'Collapsing New Buildings' in their late melodic phase.
"Ending new. We'll become what we are. Ending new. On the island, once-new buildings have collapsed. ...We'll take a little run-up, then leap the length of New York ... and we'll go on dancing ... Hold me tight and hold me to this (a two-word sentence): Ending new. Ending new. Two words only: Ending New. Ending New. Ending, Ending, Ending New. ..."
Live in Berlin, April 1st 200
0. (Nothing if not prophetic, these guys.)
- The drumming on this (F.M. Einheit + Moser) is fantastic. Observe the audience's faces: taken aback: this was the very first song that night. An hour later the place was boiling. On-form, they develop an incredibly intensity in live performance, and Bargeld is one of the best songwriters alive. (The Tower of Babel is a real drag.)

Hey! What's that Perez Prado song I really, really like? I can't remember, and I can't find it. Here, instead:
La Danse Macabre d'appropriation culturelle
Y Sabes Bien -- Los Zafiros
The Bristol Stomp -- A scary man. But one I could dance with. Because I know how to do that one!
He's wrong about the song's regional origin, though. Or at least I think he is. The Dovells were from Philadelphia. So I've always assumed they meant Bristol, PA.
In fact, even if that's not technically accurate, I'm standing by it. Because former teenagers the whole world over owe Philadelphia a debt for popularizing a dance craze of one kind or another. And you know how former kids are today about stuff like paying their debts.
Mashed Potato Time -- Dee Dee Sharp
The Twist -- Chubby Checker
You Can't Sit Down -- The Dovells
The Wah-Watusi -- The Orlons
Not that they
invented everything in Philadelphia. They were often just
ripping off the rip-off of
the rip-off.
But there's $omething to be $aid for being the city that generates the teen dance pop craze, ya know?

Such rare and impossible beauty. I mean from Anita O'Day and Louis Armstrong. Which is not to say that Bert Stern's work isn't a miracle, too, just that it's an accidental one. And for all the infinite pleasure that every miraculous accident in the world put together might provide -- which being infinite, is impossible to exceed -- the impossible beauty of miraculous art surpasses it. Thanks so much. That footage has been making me feel as exquisitely high as Anita O'Day looks (and probably was) all day. I've never seen it before. I had no idea it even existed. Mirabile dictu.

The Coup - Love, Laugh, Fuck and Drink Liquor
It's millennium three, we collared and cuffed
It's a world conversation, I'm hollarin' stuff
Like we done wallowed in muck, and squalorin' up
Who's the culprit? Follow the buck, I'm just followin' up
'Cause like me, you gots to be in the middle of it
Unravellin' the riddle of it
And to do that you goin' to ride on the powers that be
Well I fin to ride with you, take me home in your little
Nice Cave - Cassiel's Song (
And RIP, beautiful Solveig Dommartin)
Fantomas - Fire Walk with Me
Fantomas - Experiment in Terror
Original Mancini theme from Experiment in Terror
Experiment in Terror was a fixture of late, late shows when I was a kid. Need to see this again, and a lot of other films I saw when I was supposed to be asleep. And WTF happened to late, late shows?

Blixa Bargeld and Meret Becker (in a scary dress): 'Stella Maris' - Live in Berlin, 2000.
"We missed each other in our dreams."
Original video of the same song with English subtitles.
A very quiet and beautiful love song. (No industrial clattering here.) If he'd written it 15 years earlier, it would have made an ideal soundtrack to
Wings of Desire.
Einstürzende Neubauten - The Garden
Another quiet one, in English and very strange. Syd Barrett meets Buster Keaton.
Bossa Nova

I normally hate being moved by
Chauvin-ism, but I have to make exceptions. And that was definitely one.
