More Onkelz

I've been playing and listening to the other three Onkelz videos an awful lot lately; I need to listen to some new material.

Dunkler Ort
This video feels and looks more like classic Nordic metal--at least according to my extremely limited knowledge and exposure to it via Michael Moynihan's Lords of Chaos. And I read that over a decade ago. Anyhow, the lead singer of the Onkelz looks all Nordic Metal to me. The classy part of this video, however, is not the female skinhead-looking starlet--no, it is the setting. Yes! The setting! This looks like photos I've seen of H.R. Giger's bar which is in Switzerland, I believe.

Just check out those chairs around the table and tell me you would not like to relax there for a few moments.



Bomberpilot

I found it odd listening to a song about a bomber pilot in German while the media shows an American aircraft and pilot... Surreal, and a little odd for a German nationalist-styled band.



Wir ham noch nicht lang genug



Ihr haettet es wissen mussen + A.D.I.O.Z.


Kirche

Oh yes, one of the most rocking tracks.

Philip Boa--Studio Videos

Eugene--Original


Slipstream


Container Love


Atlantic Claire

More Philip Boa, but He's Live!

Love On Sale


All I Hate is You


And Then She Kissed Her

I have watched this video at least twenty or thirty times already. I absolutely love the live performance of this track--and I have never heard the recorded version of it. I can only hope to find it in the US...



Get Terminated


I Dedicate My Soul To You

The sound and visuals are spottier than I'd like for this track, but that may be a function of my system or download speed. Anyhow, this song is one of my favorite Boa tracks--that I know at least--and was why I came looking for him nearly twenty years after I first heard his works.

OMG! Tankard videos! OMG!

Dude:

I cannot believe these exist. These bring back memories:

Empty Tankard (Live)


The Morning After

Europe: The Final Countdown (live)

When I arrived in Germany, this is the song that my host brother played as he drove me from the airport to my new home.

Laibach: Sympathy for the Devil

One of Laibach's best remakes. Love the gothic voice...

Laibach: Geburt Einer Nation

This was the third CD I ever owned. I've heard this track literally thousands of times. I still love it.

Die Toten Hosen: Hier Kommt Alex

This is the only record of theirs that I actually got when I was in Germany. It was the extended play EP. I played it over and over and over again. Angst. Do you see a theme?

Live:

The Best Three Bohse Onkels Songs

Philip Boa and the Voodoo Club: Burn All the Flags

A much more recent track and video from Mr. Boa.

Philip Boa and the Voodoo Club: Kill Your Ideals

Yet another track from angsty 19s. I am still in awe that all these tracks and memories are online. It is stunning. It's like all of those times and their products exist now.

June 07
Unfortunately, this video was removed from YouTube. Sadness.

Kurd-Kurd-Kurdistan: Political Hip Hop

Interesting blend of hip-hop lyrics largely in German about
Kurdistan with lots of PKK-related images. This is quite an
interesting cultural blend.

Again, this blew my mind. It's the German rapper Fler with the track "Neue Deutsche Welle" set to Falco's "Amadeus" back beat.

Incredible.

I need to get into media crit.

DAF: Der Sheriff (VNV Nation)

Another DAF video; this is not live but filmed.

DAF: Mussolini

I can't believe I found this video. I used to love DAF.
