Arbeit Nervt

One of my favourite German bands, Deichkind is returning with a new album in October. The record and first single are called Arbeit Nervt (Work Sucks). DikeKid are hailing from Hamburg and started out as a Hip-Hop combo before venturing to their current, more electro based sound.

With their new single Deichkind are again on the border of hick-ness (Prolltum) and party alarm.

The video for Arbeit Nervt is by Alex and Liane, who worked with Bloc Party, The Ting Tings and also did the excellent Deichkind video for Ich betäube mich (I’m narcotizing myself)

Watch Arbeit Nervt and see how much fun beer cans provide.
The HQ clip is currently unavailable on AlexandLiane’s site.

Counting to 4

To sweeten the time until Doc Nancy comes back with her mathematical life counseling session, why not count to 4? Apparently, Feist and the Muppets love it. Watch the clip below.

All Mariah

I’m back in Frankfurt after my Bearcelona vacation.

Here is a greenscreen version of Mariah’s Touch My Body video. It’s perfect. Everything that is not Mariah has been cut out. Thank you Oliver Laric.

So Many Roisins

The video for You Know Me Better takes off where the Overpowered video has ended, in bed. Roisin wakes up and she acquired a multiple personality disorder. Check it out.

Total Paniert

Manchmal habe ich das Gefühl den Anschlussß nach Deutschland zu verlieren.
Das Video sollte bei dem hier in Toronto sehr beliebten Deutschkurs “German for Berliners” zum Pflichtprogramm werden.

Totally breaded. Watch the video and brush up your German.

New Hercules

Jamie and Will brought Andy Butler of Hercules and Love Affair to play a dj set in Toronto in December. It was a perfect Saturday night with lots of dancing.
Now, the Hercules album is one of the first releases that I look forward to in 2008.

The German magazine Spex has the tracklist and a short review of the album which will be released through DFA on March 7.

During his dj set I met Andy briefly and he told me that Blind, the upcoming single feat. Anthony Hegarty, should feature a remix by Frankie Knuckles and that one of the next singles will (hopefully) contain a remix by MK / Marc Kinchen. I’m especially excited about the later. To my knowledge MK hasn’t done a house remix in years, although his productions were so much fun in the 90ties.

If you want to listen to some Hercules and Love Affair music now there are a couple of tracks floating around. There are 2 songs that got an official 12 inch release last year: Roar and Classique #2. These songs together with Blind, Athene and Hercules Theme are available for listen at their myspace or hype machine or elbo.ws

In addition to that, Andy Butler has turned the new Goldfrapp single A&E into a chiming disco number with African chants (listen).

On a side note, doesn’t Ms Goldfrapp look like a Humpe sister in the video to A&E (updated)? I’m totally into leaf people on bikes.
