Maybe this might suit Tocky, despite being in some weird foreign language.

Kind of a catchy song I happened to hear today:

It's very Rammsteinish isn't it? Actually I liked the three you posted before it as well, particularly "It's All Gone to Fuck" which I feel as keenly as anyone.
You ever hear a song you heard a million times back in the day but it seems so much more personal with age? It's like rereading a book and seeing different things than you did before.

That "Start Running" instrumental was insistently good wasn't it? And I have no idea why Tool sounding so much the same should keep me from liking them as well when Clutch going back to their early style makes me like them more. It's a paradox.

I'm seconding that, and right now I'm listening to their other stuff.

It's a bit Rammstein-like, but a bit more electronic, and the lyrics are a bit more poetic and not as vulgar, from what I gather with my quite poor German language skills*, and probably a bit more gay but that's not a problem for me. They even sample a Rammstein breakdown in one of their songs, so clearly not trying to hide their influences. That whole album is awesome, Schock. I've got another couple of their albums but not quite got into them yet, apart from the occasional kick-ass song, such as this brilliant piece of sarcasm:
This is Deutsch!

* Ich spreche nur ein bisschen Deutsch. Nicht gut. Ich kann ganz viel verstehen, aber Ich habe zu viel vergessen, vielen wörter vergisst. Mein grammatik ist sehr schlecht. Jeder Deutsch sprecher kann das sehen oder höhren. That probably means you.

Listening to Nitzer Ebb again reminded me of an awesome song lead singer Douglas McCarthy did with Recoil, aka Alan Wilder of Depeche Mode. Faith Healer is a heavily sarcastic song, a cover of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, and a name I had only ever seen in print before I moved to Scotland. Now I see Alex Harvey's face painted on the wall of Clutha Bar, just next to Billy Connolly and other famous Glaswegians. (Clutha is Glasgow's best pub, which (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Glasgow_helicopter_crash) miraculously survived a helicopter crash which killed several people.) Harvey's songs are frequently covered by other artists, such as Hugh Reed & The Velvet Underpants and Bombskare. The song itself means more to me, for many different reasons, too many to list here, and it's taken on a new different meaning in the last year. The remixes alone have been sampled by more artists than I can list.

Yes. The older I get, the more that keeps happening to me, as illustrated by the above song.

Akon-Smack That - seriously cant come out of this song ;)

This is Hugh Reed, without his Velvet Underpants: "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy":

Hugh now lives in China, but used to live around the corner in Mount Florida. He's made some hilarious mandarin versions of some of his old songs, and sometimes plays the stereotypical white western evil bastard on Chinese daytime soaps. He's perhaps most known as the loser in Trainspotting trying to hit on Kelly McDonald in a club before she goes off with Ewan McGregor.

Die Krupps: Wahre Arbeit, Wahrer Lohn; a fair pay for hard work, very leftist and something I can very easily sympathise with being from a small poor working class mining town.

I woke up today with a sudden urge to listen to Neubauten (the Einstürzende kind). I haven't done so in a while, so I guess it was time. Back in the day, they were hard to come by where I lived. I remember walking into my favourite record store and placing an order. Then I waited a couple of days before being told what I had ordered wasn't available. That's when I gave up. This was the store that could have had them. One other existed, but never once did I repeat my mistake of visiting it. A matter of being at the wrong place in the wrong time.
I still have a mix tape gifted to me by someone I once knew, but no cassette player to play it on. Mostly songs from Halber Mensch if I remember correctly. That was my introduction to Neubauten 25 years ago. Years later I did manage to find Tabula Rasa and Faustmusik on CD. It's not like they are a particularly obscure band, but for some reason, even with the internet available, it wasn't as easy as I had hoped. I haven't looked in a while now, though, so maybe that has changed.
Now, on to summarizing all of Neubauten in just one video: There is one song I've been looking for about the different floors of a house I think -- although probably a metaphor -- and especially the basement, which I wouldn't mind hearing again. I don't remember what it was called without digging up that old cassette, though -- and even then it wouldn't be straightforward. A quick internet search suggests it could be Haus der Lüge, although that one doesn't seem to mention the basement the way I remember it. More soul searching reveals that the version I first listened to was cut too soon and was missing the epilogue, which contains the part about the basement:
