end times.the beginning - ko.ok!

eels
"the beginning"

she put on her party dress

i put on my jacket and walked out the door
didn’t have nowhere to go
didn’t matter that the night was getting cold
pulled her closer to me
to keep her warm
and everything was beautiful and free
in the beginning

she woke up late in the morning
i pulled the curtain back
the sun came pouring in
there was no one in the world
there was nothing else just me and my girl
she put her arms around me
gave me a kiss
and everything was beautiful and free
in the beginning

from end times to a keen and adequate beginning 2012 or "the beginning" from `end times`.

i`ve already known eels` music. with mark oliver everett`s book `glückstage in der hölle` i apprehend that gifted us-ami lateral thinker. oh by the way most of his life mr E has been faced a serious loss of familial mortality rate. alone therefore and how he found ways of doing deal with tragedies as a human as well as an artist it`s extreme worth reading. you have to put a calamity to flight. with aspiration, artifice and humor as E did. a beautiful freak! tocotronic, a four-piece band from hamburg can even tell you a thing or two about it. truly !

Eels - The Beginning by Reike

inConcert: sexagesimae pars horae egregiae...

by any chance the five most memorable minutes of being part of an audience during a live concert. (click on each song to see nearly comparable video sequences)


placebo _ centrefolds
(munich/zenith/2003/during a more than 40 minutes encore) . . . within this 5 minutes brian molko have stopped all clocks in life

" come on Balthazar/i refuse to let you die/come on fallen star/i refuse to let you die/cause it's wrong/and I've been waiting far too long/and it's wrong/i've been waiting far too long/for you to be mine.../all the centrefolds/that you can't afford/they've long since waved their last goodbyes/all the centrefolds/that you can't afford/you've long since faded from their eyes/so be/be mine..."


black rebel motorcycle club _ heart & soul
(munich/georg-elser-halle/2007/last track of an incredible formidable encore) . . . ended in an unreal jam-proceeding with robert been in the audience.

"" i fear my selfishness will be the end of this/if you don't save me save me!"


tocotronic _ neues vom trickser
(munich/tonhalle/2005/last song) . . . regorge in a fulminant crashing feedback orgiastic soundblast

" neues vom trickser/etwas von mir/als ein übersetzer/zwischen den türen/als eine art benutzer des dagegenseins/an orten wie diesen/die gemacht sind für uns zwei/eines ist doch sicher/eins zu eins ist jetzt vorbei/wir sind wie agenten/jetzt ist es soweit..."


the kills _ black ballon (concert/studio)
(munich/muffathalle/2008/above halfway the set) . . . a sexy fire godess alison and her red guitar made me mad

"" elevator straight into my skull/the escalator rises as it falls/i swear our jet is crashing in my mind/you can hold on but i wouldn't waste your time"


death cab for cutie _ transatlanticism
(munich/muffathalle/2008/ last song) . . . in a moment of melodious confusion ben gibbard screamed his last lyrics at an enraged audience. over and over again.

" ...so come on/so come on!"

advent advent - #22

Was neues von Tocotronic. Ein ganz toller Bandscheibenvorfall. Zumindest die früheren Alben waren gaanz gaanz große Schule. Hamburger Schule natürlich. Waren die ersten Alben noch rotzig frech und dominiert von verzerrten und langatmigen Gitarrensoli ("So jung kommen wir nicht mehr zusammen", "Ich möchte irgendetwas für dich sein", "Freiburg" usw... ) so sind die letzeren beiden Alben dominiert von Gesang und eingängigen Popmelodien. Nicht unbedingt schlecht, aber nicht mehr ganz mein Fall... Doch, die nun erschienene Single macht Hoffnung. "Macht es nicht selbst" kommt schön derbe daher. Das Video dazu könnt ihr euch exklusiv auf www.tocotronic.de anschauen. Ich rate an, den Biber mal tanzen zu sehen...
Und als Weihnachtsschmankerl gibts hier noch, ne wirklich gelungene Live Aufnahme von "So jung kommen wir nicht mehr zusammen"... Für meinen Blog-Bruder Spoxlei!



Dazu noch, "Neues vom Trixer". Was wir Gott - Sei - Dank Live in München erleben durfte. Da hätts uns fast aus der Halle gespült...
