"And anyway ... I like Blumfeld"

With this quote from the song "It Rock music is simply "by Tocotronic I am now my posts about the great band Blumfeld.

Blumfeld were so, together with the already mentioned Tocotronic zich talk with the stars, to the most important bands of the so-called "Hamburger Schule".
Blumfeld founded in 1990 from the remnants resolution of two punk bands ("The Bee Hunter" and "black channel", which itself is dissolved because the singer disappeared after a bank robbery and so far gone ... was browsing through Indiepedia * g *). They named themselves after a short story by Franz Kafka ("Blumfeld - an old bachelor"), which can be guessed already, where it goes: ambitious, sophisticated lyrics.
The band brought in a relatively short time, two albums out (1992: "I-Machine" and 1994: "L'Etat et moi"), both of which were decisive for the German Indiependent music of the 90s. In general was even just for the album "L'Etat et moi" the name of the "Hamburg School" by a journalist of the TAZ "designed". The first two albums were still very rocky and heavily influenced by punk, the lyrics were more than confusing ... we often wonder what was there singing please.
The style was broken then, after a gap of five years, 1999 with the album "Old Nobody" ... Blumfeld had become, in time, a pop band. Instead of raw guitars and keyboards, there were now more than pop melodies and the lyrics were indeed still very, very good, though understandable. The band was suddenly known outside the indie scene. In this context, then released three more albums (2001: "Testament of Fear", something more rock, 2003: "Out of every", again very poppy, and finally 2006: "Forbidden Fruits").
Today, exactly a year ago then gave Thistle Jochen Meyer, the lead singer of the band, the band's website then known, that Blumfeld dissolve after a final tour. When I read this message, I was somehow disappointed ... But what can you do except wait for a reunion ... But at least, Jochen thistle Meyer, who has not written almost all Blumfeld songs and make according to an interview with the magazine "Intro", music continues.
What remains is the memory of one of the best German bands of the last 20 years. The plates one can still hear after all.

What would be mentioned:
Blumfeld sat down, as well Tocotronic (again ...), actively against the racism and particularly against the so-called "German-rate" on the radio.

What Is A Lump On My Gum

"So Give Me Coffee And TV, Easily" - blur

Hello dear readers,
first time a happy new year
First, in this year I will write about a band that I hear quite a while, these are the English band Blur.

blur're together with Oasis, the Brit-pop band in general. However, they were based, unlike those in 1989, so quite a bit before the big Brit-pop wave of the early to mid 90's. They are also very varied: the first albums are from the so-called "Madchester" scene influenced (Madchester: Scene in and around the northern English city of Manchester late 80s, bear a mix of indie rock and electronic dance music), the then the following albums are classic Brit-Pop, the latest albums then fit into any style of music anymore.
released their first album in 1991, followed by another 6 more albums, usually at intervals of one to two years. During the recordings of the last album "Think Tank "(2003) fell out the band and guitarist Graham Coxon left the band. The band was then long-term contract as no longer existent. However, the members have now again in August 2007 and went into the studio together again (even if it an album produced remains to be seen).

with the band Oasis is a real gang war, but which is now almost exclusively performed by Oasis. The most glaring was that the guitarist of Oasis, Noel Gallagher and Blur said "The guitar is very ok, but the bass player and singer will die of AIDS ".

What worth mentioning is that the singer of the band, Damon Albarn, seemingly no time without music can spend. He released several solo albums and soundtrack contributions, is the man behind the "cartoon band" Gorillaz and plays since the end of 2006, together with members of The Verve, The Clash in the band The Good, The Bad And The Queen.

recommendations:
For starters, the best best-of album, but you still bought all the albums the band has earned ;-)
