It's been a while since my last entry. Far too busy during the last couple of months, and to be honest very little to write about, although I was quite busy for the Magazine. But well finally some news on my favourite German band Unheilig. Early December Der Graf asked his fans if they were interested if Unheilig should participate the Eurovision Song Contest of 2014. Nearly 94% wanted Unheilig to participate the German preliminaries on the 13th of March 2014. So the band decided to go for it. Just two weeks ago a best of album was announced, on sale on the 14th of March, which besides the two songs for the German Eurovision preliminaries also contains the songs Zeitgeist and Rüchblende, which up till now are unknown to me.     The complete tracklist of the limited edition contains the following tracks:   AUDIO CD 01. Zeitgeist 02. Geboren um zu leben 03. Neuer Song zum ESC Vorentscheid 04. Neuer Song zum ESC Vorentscheid 05. Li...

Am Abend geht die Sonne unter Der Mond geht auf, ich werde munter Und die Nacht ruft laut nach mir Dann muss ich los, ich kann nicht schlafen Wir treffen uns in leeren Straßen Und die Nacht ist jung wie wir Heute ist Vollmond und die Nacht ruft nach mir Komm mit mir tanzen, und ich küss dich dafür Heute ist Vollmond Vollmond Der Zauber hält nur eine Nacht lang Wir tanzen in den Sonnenaufgang Und wir fliegen auf den Mond Heute ist Vollmond und die Nacht ruft nach mir Komm mit mir tanzen, und ich küss dich dafür Heute ist Vollmond Vollmond Heute ist Vollmond und die Nacht ruft nach mir Komm mit mir tanzen, und ich küss dich dafür Heute ist Vollmond Vollmond Ach, war das toll heute... ...nein!  Nee... ach Quatsch! Das hab ich doch nur so gesagt... ...ja..! Lyrics and music by: C. Karges   Translation of the German lyrics: In the evening the sun goes down The moon comes out, I come alive An...

The entries were close to zero in the past month. Too much work on my mind, and although I played enough music there was little time to write an entry. All time was fixed on work, and besides that on a huge article about New Wave music. It is scheduled for somewhere this month, when iO Pages will release their first special. So it meant diving into the eighties, listen to a lot of familiar music and also buying some stuff again. Unfortuantly Fonos no longer excists, so if you're interested in a band that was up till now still only available on vinyl it means you have to search for it and then digitize it. So with a bit of luck I discovered a compilation cd early July of the new wave band The Dutch. Soon I was able to collect all their vinyl and then I turned my focus on another early eighties new wave band Secret Sounds. Through Fonos I had bought their album Wasteland ages ago but when I scrolled their page on discogs.com I discovered that their singer/guitarist WilmerWolf was ...
