Fistula Spume is making me a happy girl today, because he's showing a healthy interest in my favourite home-grown band, Die Sterne*. ("The Stars" in English... nothing to do with stern deaths...)So I'm going to start a mini-series introducing their numerous albums, starting here and today with their third album ??Posen?? ("Poses") from 1996.
It was the first one they cut for Sony, and consequently, it's production is notably "glossier" than on the earlier ones. What I love about it is the way Die Sterne are quoting some cool classics while demonstrating their very own trashy-funk style. Check out the first song, ??Ich scheiß auf deutsche Texte?? ("I shit on German lyrics"). I should maybe call for a little "sample clearance" here... who knows what's cited?Next I chose ??Was had Dich bloss so ruiniert?? ("What on earth ruined you like that").
