"There are cool and uncool and how you feel! " or Why Tocotronic are just so fascinating?

Good evening everybody, it's almost 23 clock and I have nothing to do ... so I thought "now you're blogging again what" Today I write about a band that I have discovered only a short time for me. And while the band "Huah!"

Huah! were, as well as the already mentioned here
Tocotronic
and
the stars, part of the "Hamburger Schule", in contrast to these two but they were never even remotely successful, and broke up already 1992, ie before it was really wrong with this scene in Hamburg. They were founded in the mid 80s and went about the same time in Hamburg. There, in 1987, they released their first single on the indie label Buback. 1990 then followed the first album, "What do Huah! Now?" on L'age d'or (the label which is subsequently even as the Hamburg school label as such), and two years later the album "Fuck Capitalism" and soon after the band split up then. According to the band, the case for separating the "usual musical and personal differences" were. Musically Huah! very hard to classify. They play something between Punk, indie rock, soul and jazz.
The band is also due to it's ever been establishing the great Tocotronic, as their singer Dirk von Lowtzow at all only because of the music of Huah! his law studies in Freiburg broke off to move to Hamburg and there to make music. Ironically Tocotronic were again the reason why the singer Huah Knarf Rellöm! (The real name I will not tell. Tip: Read the name again, backwards ;-)) 2000 again moved to Hamburg. Tocotronic Coverter way the Huah! Song "The 10-clock show," so I generally only on Huah! attention was. The admittedly somewhat strange name the band is from a comic book.
The title of the article is the title of a song on the album "Fuck Capitalism".
Since 2005, the band comes back on occasion, an album is probably not planned

recommendations there (again) because I can not be limited to individual songs / will.

Hello readers
Today's thought of a band that has influenced my life as a music consumer as much as almost any other. This is the English punk band The Clash.

It was about 7 years (ie, as was so 13/14), when I began more interested in punk rock (music was my first taste of really mixed very strongly and still strongly influenced by the mainstream (from the time I still really embarrassing CDs but they are well hidden in the closet ;-))). This began with the dead pants so it happened that I wanted from my uncle for a birthday or a Christmas CD of those same. What I did not know was that my uncle in recent days even this music very much heard. So he gave me next to your pants or a burned CD version of the Clash album "London Calling" (he also lent me another 2 records: one of the Sex Pistols and a Slime, but which I was not as interested, especially because I did not own a record player). At first I
London Calling was more interested in less, because it was so old (so we think at that age feel free to surf ...). After some time I heard it out and I was immediately smitten. The Clash are they so "guilty" that my musical development in terms of punk rock was not the "mainstream punk rock" stuck and I began to hear other old punk bands (a good example here are the Ramones). It is like the end of the album London Calling attribute that I even began listening to old and they often also.
The Clash played at first pure, influenced by the Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, which was in time but always challenging and experimental. Appeared in 1978 with "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais" is a song as a single, which strongly reminded not been to the original punk rock, but was strongly influenced by reggae and ska. Also later in the direction of dub and folk music experiments (especially the English and Latin American). The Clash were one of the first punk bands that were also perceived by the mainstream (in the UK and the U.S., they even had several top ten hits), which the band themselves, and particularly the singer Joe Strummer not just good . Were called The increasing success also led to the fact that the band more and more divided and in 1986 then after the deeply disappointing album "Cut The Crap" dissolved. worked After the dissolution of the band members then on various projects (only the "important" members): singer / guitarist Joe Stummer: a solo album in the 80s, many soundtracks and small film roles, sometimes lead singer of Irish folk-punk band The Pogues, and from 1999 until his death in 2002 the great band Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros
guitarist Mick Jones: many lesser-known bands, currently producer (including The Libertines and Babyshambles)
bassist Paul Simonon: devoted himself entirely to The Clash of painting until 2006 include the Blur and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn, the band "The Good, The Bad And The Queen" founded

To say more would be that many bands (not only from the punk rock area) The Clash as major role models and see themselves as big fans come out (such as Die Toten Hosen, The Libertines, Beatles, Manic Street Preachers, REM or U2).

Hello music lovers
today I write something about the "Singer / Songwriter" Olli Schulz Olli Schulz and his band and the dog Marie.

Olli Schulz makes beautiful songs with acoustic guitar with really very very funny lyrics.
He started as a roadie for various musicians, and this time he also began writing songs. Of these songs then heard the singer of the band Kettcar and took on his label Grand Hotel van Cleef "under contract. There, he brought in 2003 with his friend Max Schroeder (aka The dog Marie, hence the name), the album "Break my heart you break I'll up 'out. This was followed by 2005's Beige Album "(yes, that is really true). The next and most recent album "Waiting for the Boomerang" came out in 2006 (but not on Grand Hotel Van Cleef but on a sub-label of EMI), the band has existed since that time two other members.

Live Olli Schulz occurs both alone, as also with his band. Unfortunately, I have this pleasure (yet!) had not. He currently own column in the Berlin radio station "Radio Fritz" called "A Schulz, a song has, for which he writes a song every week. This column can also be downloaded as a podcast (see link below).
It also occurs occasionally as "Bibi McBenson" on. Bibi McBenson quoted differs greatly, he acts arrogant and conceited. Songs by Bibi McBenson appeared as B-sides on singles Olli Schulz (according to interviews Olli Schulz is Bibi McBenson forced by threatening him with violence). In addition, Bibi McBenson also has its own MySpace page, where there are other songs (also see link below).

You notice Olli Schulz in various texts and interviews that he has a very large music general knowledge. He also parodied Bela B. 's single "1.2.3 ..." as a B-side just this single.
