f-f-f-fade away
October 20th, 2008because I want to post something and this is amazing:
There’s something about youth and rock, the young energy, and the 60’s, there’s something happening, and it’s a war cry, a song in the new rock form about the new rock form, there’s postmodernism in there somewhere (or something) and there’s something simple about it and you can tell that these guys really don’t think they’re going to get old, or at least they hope like hell they won’t and shit Moony’s right! and Pete looks like every muso nerd’s fantasy come to life, the kid who always got called big nose but now he’s gonna get all the girls and there won’t be any left for you, jerk-face! I mean, at 2:27 where he goes all Sonic Youth on the mic stand? Unglaublich! These guys are birthing punk rock and it’s messy and violent and parents just won’t understand.

No sound on my computer at work and you know about my computer at home, so I haven’t had a chance to hear this yet…but I’m dying to check out the clip that made you exclaim in German! I suppose there are a couple things that only the Germans know how to say (“schadenfreude” being the other one).
