help would be very appreciated
Late, but not too late, this very enthusiastic show, was provided by my friend Michael, who also recorded the other shows with a tape recorder from FM Radio (Multikulti) - and it's a perfect fit to what I like the most: pure crazyness Sun Ra style (Michael Ray was a long time member of the Arkestra)
Enjoy it like I did! Play Loud!

Attwenger (formed 1990) is a musical duo from Linz, Austria. The group is made up of drummer Markus Binder and button accordion player Hans-Peter Falkner; both members also sing.
Attwenger's music is an unusual combination of Upper Austrian folk music and hip-hop, with lyrics sung (and rapped) in Upper Austrian dialect. Falkner often plays his accordion through effects pedals to give his instrument a distorted timbre similar to that of an electric guitar. Binder sometimes uses drum machines.
The duo has toured Europe, Zimbabwe (1993), Siberia, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Malaysia (1995). In 2003 they won an Amadeus Austrian Music Award, in the category "FM4 Alternative Act des Jahres" (alternative act of the year). Of the group, the noted BBC DJ John Peel (1939-2004) said, "I have no idea what it's all about, but I like the general noise a great deal."
Visitor, thou hast here an honest blog; it doth at the outset forewarn
thee that, in contriving the same, I have proposed to myself no other than a domestic and private end: I have had no consideration at all either to thy service or to my glory. My powers are not capable of any such design. I have dedicated it to the particular commodity of my kinsfolk and friends, so that, having lost me (which they must doshortly), they may therein recover some traits of my conditions and humours, and by that means preserve more whole, and more life-like, the knowledge they had of me. Had my intention been to seek the world's favour, I should surely have adorned myself with borrowed beauties: I desire therein to be viewed as I appear in mine own genuine, simple, and ordinary manner, without study and artifice: for it is myself I paint. My defects are therein to be read to the life, and any imperfections and my natural form, so far as public reverence hath permitted me. If I had lived among those nations, which (they say) yet dwell under the sweet liberty of nature's primitive laws, I assure thee I would most willingly have painted myself quite fully and quite naked. Thus, dear visitor, myself am the matter of my blog: there's no reason thou shouldst employ thy leisure about so frivolous and vain a subject.
Therefore farewell.
So in the late 80ies he became my main inspiration how to handle what I call a good life ... and introduced me in the art of dying
Let us learn bravely to stand our ground, and fight him. And to begin to deprive him of the greatest advantage he has over us, let us take a way quite contrary to the common course. Let us disarm him of his novelty and strangeness, let us converse and be familiar with him, and have nothing so frequent in our thoughts as death.
THAT TO STUDY PHILOSOPY IS TO LEARN TO DIE

Starting with this you may like to hear the rest of their great record "Speaking Of The Devil"
They're on bandcamp, so ...maybe that's a good enhancement in your record collection
Fun fact; These guys'n'gals are israelis, jews I suppose - and they play Krautrock.
Rock, the "lingua franca" in action. Reminds me a bit on another fun fact:
When Tokio Hotel, a german "emo"-(pop-)band started their career it turned out that lots of israeli and french youngsters suddenly started learning german so they were able to translate the lyrics. 60 years after WWII where Germany invaded for the 2nd time France and built industrial complexes to kill jews ...
Which leads to another fun fact: "Emos". I remember a time when "emos" were mobbed in the schoolyards by their more hip-hop "gangsterlookalike" homophobic classmates. Turns out: the "emos" won that battle with what we today call "gender politics" and "diversity"-approach and their imagination of a world where you can be what you like to be. Something we see today as the general direction the youth of today is moving, Evolution is funny, isn't it?
Hail Hail Rock'n'Roll deliver us from the days of old! Here we are ... speaking the same language
Playing "Manuel Göttsching's Landing in Africa" Jam (A tribute to Manuel Göttsching & Ash Ra Tempel) & "Acid Moon & Pregnant Sun Theme". Filmed By Kfir Ripshtos. Played during the "Nightmare at Christmas" Festival which was Produced By Kfir Rimoch at The Papaito Club in TA.
Europe 1980. Pre-Schengen treaty. Borders. D-Mark & Francs ...
Living aside the frontier not really knowing what happens "on the other side". No newspaper, no fanzine, no local magazine I was aware of then shouting out loud "THE CLASH+THE CURE+KEVIN COYNE+ROXY MUSIC!!!" play a festival near you, just cross the damned border and enjoy your fav bands at time. Even UFO! Okay, they weren't no longer the "Prince Kajuku" space rockers i once loved.
If only one german source would have told me about that festival but there was none... but reading french magazines, especially the legendary "Rock & Folk" (enough Stuff for a very, very big fandom-post ...) was helpfull: they made me aware and asking friends, if they were interested. Sad truth: No one was - we were younger then and even loving the bands most of us with no money in our pockets. Not for a "commercial" festival while working organizing our first free festival at the so called "Hinterwald".
To the Püttlingen part of the scene, the punky-reggae-party section, younger folks, The Clash (they just released "London Calling") and The Cure (just transforming themselves with "Seven Seconds" into a more goth-style) were common sense, the Köllerbach-section, most of them elder Deadheads, needed "Sandinista" with the well beloved Mikey Dread to warm up with the Clash. Long story short: I couldn't find no one to come with me so I had to go alone there (only company: some Mescalin ..)
And so the Festival started ... Personal highlight definitly Kevin Coyne (no record of that found yet but a longer post still ahead) .. great sets by the Clash and The Cure, Roxy Music didn't show up ... and the day ended with a car suffering on a cylinder head gasket deep in the night ...
So this is what I found on the net ...
In my understanding Rock Music became the "lingua franca" of the world. Young people all around the world speak the same language in different dialects. Some of us speak AC/DC, some The Grateful Dead, others Bob Marley ... but all in all we share our emotions in the same language: Rock. You can sit with a french, a spanish, a libanese, an egyptian, a japanese, an indian, a chinese ... and listening to Rock Music you share the same emotion in a common language - our "lingua franca".
"Hail Hail Rock'n'Roll, deliver us from the days of old" made us all brothers and sister fighting the bitter world.of our parents as Pete Townshend once stated: we had enough of their bitterness, we wouldn't be part of their damned wars and being held hostage by the destructive emotions rooted in their experience having or being bombed.
In times like ours, when stupid politicians are trying to drag us once more into hatred against "the other" we should remember that "on the other side" there are brothers & sisters.
So China isn't just the CCP and the communist system - it's also the youth. And the youth is the future. Their time will come.
So let me help you find out about your chinese family in introducing "Niubibeijing", "Live China Music"and Shanren with their funny bluegrassalike mountain music
