u are a fever, u ain`t born typical




u are a fever, u ain`t born typical
i am a fever, i ain`t born typical
we are a fever, we ain`t born typical
u can holler u can wail
u can swing u can flail
u can fuck like a broken sail
if we ever give us up our hearts will surely fail



u can run u can blow
u can drink u can glow
u can swim like a broken flow
we could never get back up when the future starts so slow

reunion of retained coolness of artistic simplifcation!


a confirmed reader knows my faible for extraordinary artist characters, female or male - don`t matter in the end. in former times brian molko has been considered as the unchallenged first in my personal category. i think it has been changed a little bit so far. i won`t stop short of doing saying he lost his validity in all. but after a mind-blowing reverberation of a groundbreaking masterpiece "sleeping with ghosts" circumstances have changed during the last few years. he left something since there. these small but nice things between the lines. the mystery or magic of his together aloof and vulnerable seemingly person often came from his tightrope walk between a crosswise "ignorance" and absolutely concentrated passion on stage. such as allocation to music and announcements in the world in general, his kind of rebellious attitude, most however an inconceiveable splendid latent ambiguity of a lyrical remarkable well-nigh poetical tongue beyond daily routine broadening oneselves horizon right up to mediate awareness of life were the main reasons for having dealed with them. nowadays all things around placebo seem to be planned down to the very last detail and going uninspiring boring, almost exsanguinous. where has all that formerly unique and spellbound latent vitality gone? where`s all the hidden subliminal unselfconscious viridity? to much love, peace and harmony. oversized ballons in the audience. this detracts from main issues. well-nigh punch and judy show. an overkill even for (a) "placebo".


hopefully this won`t kill the kills, a further all-time artist favourite of ours. alison mosshart and jamie hince still possess above-named property "hidden subliminal unselfconscious viridity" more than ever. just retained coolness of artificial simplifcation without losing all drive and power therefore! the magic word, the door opener, a key-and-lock principle, whose symbiosis fits perfectly. but see and convince for yourself! trusting that we`ll produce you proof of one of the best performing independent artists in place, here are two worthwile nuggets - an new and an old one - for watching!

inaccessible. unimitable. provoking. damned unique!

a sexy fire godess alison and her red guitar makes me

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!"

Don't Kill The Kills!

...because we really need them!
Munic! Muffathalle. 13.11.2008. 23:05 Uhr. Gerade haben uns The Kills aus der Halle gefegt. Kurz und schmerzlos. Noch vor einer Stunde standen wir wartend auf das, was folgen sollte da und schlürften unser Bier. Das hatten wir uns so nicht vorgestellt. Eine Band ohne wirklichem Schlagzeug. Kann die Live eigentlich toll werden?
Jetzt wissen wir die Antwort: Pustekuchen. Es geht auch ohne. Mit Drumcomputer, tollem Gitarrensound und etwas Rock N Roll Attitüde haben Alison Mosshart und Jamie Hince definitv alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Von Auf-dem-Boden-räkelnd bis zu Whiskey-trinkend zur Zugabe erscheinen. Alle Klischees wurden bedient. Das war ein dermaßen kühl kalkulierter Auftritt. Und das ist sowas von positiv gemeint. Den beiden konnte man die Lust am Rock N Roll, die Leidenschaft, die Erotik förmlich aus dem Gesicht strahlen sehen, dass es eine Freude war, ihrer - wenn auch sehr kurzen - Setlist zu lauschen. Danke dafür. Danke für dieses tolle Live Erlebnis. Auf ein Wiedersehen The Kills! U R Fever !
