Hello there inmates!
So February has finally arrived! This year is continuing along at pace, I must admit. Maybe it’s true what my parents say that the years go by faster as you get older. I’m unsure if that’s a good thing or not. Anyways, how is everyone doing this week? Getting back into post-lockdown life? I know it’s been a while since the lockdown (at least in this country) but the world has seemed rather slow and sedate in getting back into the swing of life. The job market is one big example of that right now…
Enough about all of that real life slop. You’re here for virtual slop! The Harlequins writing music to be specific. I posted a clue earlier on for todays musical theme. I feel like it was a reasonably obvious one this week. Did you see it?
Todays musical theme is the great nation of Germany! Yes, our germanic cousins over on the mainland continent! A land of great culture and personality. I know that the germans have something of a stereotype of being stiff-lipped and unemotional, but I personally have a soft spot for them. Obviously the country has a long and varied history. Conflict and oppression and innovation. Much of which you’re likely to be aware of yourselves.
There is a great amount of musical influence from Deutschland. I would even say the nation has given us a few genres of their own. One in particular that I’m a huge fan of is industrial. I would even say that industrial music is quintessentially german, though obviously people of other nations partake too. I feel like I’m rambling again. This has become slightly listless hasn’t it? Haha! Wanna hear some of my favourites?
Without further nonsense, join me as we delve into the musical minds of Deutsch artists the land over!
Megaherz – Vorhang Auf
https://www.megaherz.de/
Rapsoul – Gott Schenk Ihr Flugel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapsoul
Rammstein – Mein Herz Brennt
https://www.rammstein.de/en/
Mark Forster – Ubermorgen
https://www.markforster.de/
Revolverheld – Immer Noch Fuhlen
https://www.revolverheld.de/
And there we have it! Fantastisch! There’s some interesting ones there eh? I was almost tempted to just put industrial music on this list, but I think that would be doing Germany a disservice. I hope that guys enjoy this list and give each of these artists a good look. They all deserve it, even if you don’t understand the German language so well.
So, something you might understand a little better is social media stuff! The asylum has a page over on Facebook, an account on Instagram and a page over on Twitter as well! Please consider following me over on those pages as well. It really helps me out! Also, if you really understand what I do here at the asylum, please consider supporting me over on the Ko-Fi page! Thanks for everything my friends!
Until next week, auf wiedersehen and have a very crazy day inmates!
