Young Nirvana playing in bassist Krist Novoselic's Mom's house. Dave Grohl wasn't in the band yet. Filmed on 1st of January 1987. Watch Cobain singing against a wall.

Nirvana played their first show at 17 Nussbaum Road, Raymond, WA. Here's a recording of "If You Must" from that night.

They went over here.

Es ging natürlich um "Olli Schulz & der Hund Marie"- Gucken sie oben "Der Moment", sagenhaft guter Song, super Video! Kauft die Platten und geht zu den Shows!

Hier eine Live-Kostprobe: Olli Schulz verarscht Rammstein @Kulturladen Konstanz

Auch lustig: Olli Schulz stellt Walter Schreifels einen Song vor. Was macht man bloß mit diesem Jungen?!

Das neue Video ist da, tärätärä!

Wired: "The music that brought them together remains one of most powerful elements on the Che Underground site. MP3s created from dusty, one-of-a-kind cassette tapes, live bootlegs and unreleased demo recordings pepper the site. And this is truly vital music, combining a punk vision -- still fresh in '83 -- with a warped version of '60s garage and British invasion bands."

- Some really cool stuff!

After all these years a new album will be released in september. Old stuff and unreleased tracks produced by my one of favourite bands ever, the pioneers of Metal-Rap. Saprize were the best of many great, great bands coming out of Bremen in the 90s. They played their last show in 1997 at the Schlachthof in Bremen.

Here's a video from that night:


SAPRIZE INFO:
"1993 – the year of »Judgement Night«, the year, when Punk broke. A bunch of young fellows, mostly stemming from the Bremen Hardcore-Scene, where they spent years shaping their minds and skills playing ultra-fast Hardcore music, discovered their common love for HipHop. Boldly mixing Slayer-Riffs, big bad beats and a great laugh (occasionally at themselves), Uzi, Ben, Gregcore, The Menace und Da Romeo became pioneers of the new style: the combination of Metal and Rap. Taking the best of both worlds, they offered an energetic stage performance and an adventurous musical approach, channeling the new knowledge of beats and samples through the depths of their eclectic record collections, thus creating a style of their own. They were the punks among the hiphoppers. After their debut, recorded only two months after the band was started, »Alwaysacutahead«, released on a small indie label two months before (!) „Judgement Night" came out, the German branch of Rough Trade signed the band before anybody else could.

- Unser treuer Leser Jason H. aus dem schönen Kalifornien verweist auf die Diskussion über seine Ex-Band Social Unrest, die uns in jungen Jahren viel Freude geschenkt hat. Da muss das geballte Hardcore-Nerdwissen die Faust des politisch bewegten, harten Kernes schmecken.

-Das neue Album von Tomte wird "Heureka" gerufen und erscheint am 10.10. Bis dahin wird es wohl auch ein neues Video geben.

-Die Hardcore-Psychedelic-Rapper um MONSTAR und MASSAKA 361 haben mit Abschnitt 361 einen interessanten neuen Song im Köcher.

-Kettcar werden im aktuellen "030" von einem Neider hintenrum beschimpft, spielten Freitag in Potsdam aber trotzdem ein reichlich bejubeltes Konzert. An Rüpel-Security wird man sich trotzdem nie gewöhnen.

- Das Album von Sister Chain & Brother John ist so gut wie erschienen, aber die Testpressungen laufen leider nur auf Plattenspielern anderer Leute. Zuviel Vinyl-Fetischismus ist auch keine Lösung.

- Muff Potter haben für den Tribute to Metallica-Sampler den Klassiker "For Whom the Bell tolls" gecovert. Gratis-MP3 auf der Sampler-Homepage oder bei Potters aufm MySpace hören, wo die Band mitteilt:

"wie bei allen anderen menschen auf planet hardrock gibt es in unserer band bei der diskussion um das beste metallica album genau zwei meinungen (brami: "and justice for all", nagel: "master of puppets"), für die jeweils erbittert gestritten wird, so daß wir uns auf einen song von "ride the lightning" einigten.

drei weitere gründe, dieses lied auszuwählen:
1. es gibt kein kompliziertes gitarrensolo, das wir sowieso nicht hätten spielen können
2. der song ist nach dem besten ernest hemingway roman benannt.
3. er ist außerdem langsam genug, um ihn doppelt so schnell spielen zu können.

- Gerüchte über den baldigen Bankrott von Clubs, die als gemeinnütziger Verein durchgehen wollen, aber leider ständig die Abrechnung vergessen, erhärten sich. Irgendwann will auch der geduldigste Bierlieferant die Kohle für die Getränke sehen, die nach Feierabend von den Gästelistenschnorrern verzehrt wurden.

I´m trying to post only stuff that is out of print and not available in any format. The music is recorded from my original vinyl only. I`m doing this to preserve otherwise forgotten cultural artifacts. Mainly stuff that nobody in their right mind would re-release anyway. "

Quote from Andreas: This one is sort of a historical document from 1988 uniting two Berlin teams “Hertha BSC” from the West and “1. FC Union” from the East on one record one year before re-unification.
The title song “Freunde hinter Stacheldraht” ( Friends behind barbed wire ) is sung ( if you want to call it that ) by Peter “Pepe” Mager, owner of a “Hertha” fan-shop.

Eigentlich erstaunlich, dass er diesen eher obskuren 73er-Hit von Kevin Johnson aus Sydney gecovert hat. Viele haben das getan, aber für Dean Reed waren die Zeilen wie auf den Leib geschrieben. Sein ehrlichstes Lied. Komisch, dass mir das nie aufgefallen ist, aber wahrscheinlich muss man dazu das Video sehen: Dean Reed in Moskau anno 1980

Lyrics: Rock`n Roll (i Gave You All The Best Years Of My Life)

I can still remember when I bought my first guitar,
Remember just how good the feeling was, put it proudly in my car,
And my family listened fifty times to my two song repertoire,
And I told my mum her only son was gonna be a star.
Bought all the Beatle records,
sounded just like Paul,
Bought all the old Chuck Berry`s, 78`s and all,
And I sat by my record player, playin` every note they played,
And I watched them all on TV, makin every move they made.

Chorus:
Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life,
All the dreamy sunny Sundays,
all the moon-lit summer nights,
I was so busy in the back room writin` love songs to you,
While you were changin` your direction,
and you never even knew,
That I was always,
just one step behind you.

`66 seemed like the year I was really goin` somewhere,
We were living in San Francisco, with flowers in our hair,
Singing songs of kindness so the world would understand,
But the guys and me were something more than just another band,
And then `69 in LA, came around so soon,
We were really making headway and writing lots of tunes,
And we must have played the wildest stuff we had ever played,
The way the crowds cried out for us,
we thought we had it made.

Chorus:
Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life,
All the crazy lazy young days,
all the magic moon-lit nights,
I was so busy on the road singin` love songs to you,
While you were changin` your direction,
and you never even knew,
That I was alwyas,
just one step behind you.

`71 in Soho, when I saw Suzanne,
I was trying to go it solo, with someone else`s band,
And she came up to me later and I tooke her by the hand,
And I told her all my troubles and she seemed to understand,
And she followed me through London,
through a hundred hotel rooms,
Throught a hundred record companies who didn`t like my tunes,
And she followed me when, finally, I sold my old guitar,
And she tried to help me understand,
I`d never be a star.

Chorus:
Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life,
All the dreamy sunny Sundays,
all the moon-lit summer nights,
And though I never knew the magic of makin` it with you,
Thank the Lord for giving me the little bit I knew,
And I will always be one step behind you.

Chorus:
Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life,
Singing out my love songs in the brightly flashing lights,
And though I never knew the magic of makin` it with you,
Thank the Lord for giving me the little bit I knew,

Final Chorus:
Rock and roll, I gave you all the best years of my life,
All the dreamy sunny Sundays,
all the moon-lit summer nights,
I was so busy in the back room makin` love songs to you,
While you were changin` your direction,
and you never even knew,
That I was always,
just one step behind you.

Updated! The Ramones Documentary - End of the Century - Trailer - Watch it on Google Video! It's great! It left Johnny Ramone "disturbed"!

Sie: "Nee, ehrlich, ich habe den Namen schon mal irgendwo gehört..."
Ich: "Du hattest eine Jugend ohne die RAMONES? Wie ist sowas überhaupt möglich?

Und was soll man da aus dem Gesamtwerk der Brüder Ramones aussuchen? Natürlich DO YOU REMEMBER ROCK'N'ROLL RADIO. 1, 2, 3, 4...



Wikipedia: "The Ramones were an American rock band often regarded as the first punk rock group.
Formed in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, in 1974, all members of the band used stage names with their surnames as "Ramone", though none of them are actually related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually non-stop for 22 years. In 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played their final show and then disbanded. The band's three founding members—Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone and Dee Dee Ramone—died within eight years of the break-up."

Die kleine Kreuzberger Band mit Brad Pitt an der Gitarre hat jetzt auch MySpace und die "Bravo" will unbedingt einen Starschnitt machen. Das Warten hat sich gelohnt und die ersten Tracks gehören sofort auf jede Playlist drauf.

Wie alles begann:
Ole meinte :"Lars Rudolph du musst bei uns singen." -- "Ole kannte mich irgendwie von früheren Bands-" Also da spielte KAPAIKOS auf der Hochzeit von Wir sind Helden, und ich war nur so da als Gast.

Der Rest ist Legende: Kapaikos feat. Lars Rudolph vor geraumer Zeit im "Bang Bang Club". Es war geil!

Demnächst spielen sie dann endlich im privaten Kreise in einer Kreuzberger Tischlerwerkstatt und womöglich haben sie dann auch MySpace, aber im Moment haben sie wahrscheinlich nicht mal 20 Cent zum telefonieren. Wir halten Sie auf dem Laufenden.

From Kirk Slash Spock: "A mashup of the old animated Star Trek series and William Shatner's cover of Pulp's "Common People." Done in the style of K/S stories, kinda. Therefore, a "slashup."

On Kirk/Spock stories, from Wikipedia:

Almost from the beginning, fans noticed the loving nature of the relationship. A few fan writers started speculating about the possibility of a sexual relationship between Kirk and Spock. The Kirk/Spock phenomenon eventually took on a life of its own, and became one of the driving forces in Star Trek fanzines during their heyday."

Techcrunch: Mötley Crüe Song Sells More on Xbox Than On iTunes - "Players of Grand Theft Auto IV can buy the songs they hear in the game from Amazon by making their characters dial a number on their cell phones.

Now the rock band Mötley Crüe (yes, they are still alive) is getting in on the action as well. They released a single from their latest album, Saints of Los Angeles, both in the video game Rock Band and as download on iTunes, Amazon and elsewhere. In the first week that the digital single was available for sale (the physical album won’t be released until June 24), it was downloaded 47,000 times on the Xbox alone compared to 10,000 times on iTunes and other digital download stores on the Web."

The Guardian: "Where conventional hip-hop celebrates wealth and sex and drugs, nerdcore eschews gangsta themes for "geeksta" interests - its MCs rap about Star Wars, about World of Warcraft and about computer coding.

The Hot Eskimos are incredible! I've seen them before and they're really great. They are a tight, stripped back four piece rock and roll band formed mid 2005 in Berlin by Carola Nilsson on the double bass, guitarist Tom Burst, Dugald Jayes hitting the skins, and recently joined by Johnny on the pedal steel guitar. Their country tinged rockabilly blues and primal garage beat grabs you by the throat and drags you to the dance floor. The drums pound , the bass thumps, the guitars twang their Nashville thang and Tom and Carola howl at the moon like theres no tomorrow.

Der Song zu einem anderen Irak-Krieg, der "die Linke" damals ein wenig verstört hat. Ein gewisser Marcus Wiebusch machte sich damals erstmals einem größeren Publikum bekannt. Saddam ist tot, aber ansonsten hat der Song nichts von seiner Schlagkraft verloren. Das Album "Für uns nicht", gerade mal wieder nach Jahren angehört. Die ganze Platte ist immer noch ein Hammer.
