German Blow Out in honour of this weeks straight from Berlin special guests Karina and Christian!
An hour of German and German related music. All proper pronunciations provided by Ottawa ex-pat now living in Berlin Karina and Munster born husband Christian.
| Medley: Silver Machine / Children of the Revolution / School's out James Last - Non-Stop Dancing 1973 - 1973 - Polydor |
| Roll your eyes if you need to at the thought of James Last on CKCU but none of us can deny that his medley of Hawkwind's Silver Machine, T-Rex's Children of the Revolution and Alice Cooper's School's out is pretty great. Not sure where the song choice for this medley to start of Side A came from but we all win as a result. |
| Dizzy Horst Wende & His Accordion Band - Hits a la Carte - Polydor |
| An instrumental accordion version of Tommy Roe's classic Dizzy! |
| Wo Ist Zu Hauser Mama Johnny Cash - V/A - Really! They Sing In German? Vol 2 - 1996 |
| Stein Umstein Vierzehn - - |
| I can honestly say that I don't really like Pink Floyd past the first two LPs and I don't need to ever hear anything off of The Wall for the rest of my life but the novelty of Another Brick in the Wall sung in German sure does go a long way. |
| Hatschi Waldera Nina Hagen & Fritzens Dampferband - Was Den - Hits 1974 - 1995 - 1996 - Amiga |
| Lovemachine Supermax - World of Today - 1977 - WEA |
| Pocket Calculator Kraftwerk - Computer World - 1981 - WEA |
| Electric Boogie Boots Cheeky - 45 - 1983 - EMI |
| Thanks to Mr. Caffery for lending this one out. Pre-teen rapping in an electro stylee never sounded so good. Self proclaimed as Germany's first scratch and break record as well. |
| Uebungsraum WestBam - 12" - No More Fucking Rock N' Roll - Who's That Beat |
| Straight from Berlin special guest Christian provides some background on the name Westbam letting us all know that Westbam is a shortened version of his original nickname, which he received in honor of his place of birth Westphalia, and his biggest musical influence, Afrika Bambaataa. Let us always appreciate the impact of Afrika Bambaataa around the world. |
| Rapper's Deutsch G.L.S United - - - 1980 |
| Der Hund Der Baskerville Cindy and Bert - - |
| Black Sabbath's Paranoid getting the German treatment by Cindy and Bert and remaining as heavy as the original. |
| Betrayer Kreator - Extreme Aggression - 1989 - Epic |
| Da Da Da (German Version) Trio - 45 - 1982 - Mercury |
