The Spring's about to spring!

[badseed1980]

Yeah, it's REALLY in the air today. The warmer-than-frigid air. The sunny air. The melting-snow-damp air. I even saw PUSSYWILLOW with its little fuzzy bits out!

My favourite Spring-song. By (naturlich!) Einsturzende Neubauten:

Let my centre be your axis
around which your body turns
let your centre be my axis
around which your body turns
let me through your columns stroll
along your colonnade
let me not hesitate nor play hard to get
amble idly, revel sprightly
in you lose my way

only she will see the light first...

let me through your delta swim
with inclined head traverse
let me savour the true salt of the earth
be a tongue fish in your lake
let the way of the world on all fours play
on stage as carnal choreography
celebrate spring's glory

now see! the pole caps are melting
the hill is not frozen

the axe has been laid unto afore
for the garden's defloration
some important thing's exhumation
in one mouth saliva and honey's summation
for your soul's exhumation
now draw me after you
winter has passed over. the great thaw!

I'm coming
from falsity, from infirmity,
from the principality
of sovereign senses to court you
for ever to release you

only she will see the light first...


And let me tell ya...sung in German by Blixa Bargeld, a guy with an amazingly sexy voice who's also GORGEOUS, it's really something!

I'm the reverse. Fall, then spring.

Something about the rebirth of those seasons...

Ditto.

I wanna see (and hear) it in German!

Naughty little pussywillow ...

That is an extremely sexual song. I wish I could write poetry like that, for my Nuit.

Einsturzende Neubauten! They're on tour this spring (hooray!)...in Europe (boooo!)

*gasp*

A Neubauten fan? Did you already tell me that? Honey, you just went up a notch in my esteem!

It's a pity they can't afford to tour the US more. I saw them last April at Paradise. *sigh* Jochen actually smiled at me a few times. I was flattered.

<A Neubauten fan? Did you already tell me that? <Honey, you just went up a notch in my esteem! Likewise! I had to do a double take when i read your post. I need to get used to the fact that moving to Boston brings me into contact with a far more esoteric and eclectic crowd.

So I can brag to you about meeting the band and hanging out with them on their tour bus and backstage when I was 19? And about seeing their 20th anniversary show in Berlin? ;)
