time for some german rock! here’s inga rumpf (beim deutschen schlager-wettbewerb) in berlin in 1968. if you don’t know her, you can look up the city preachers her original band. this album under her name, is really great especially the cover of waterboy and i’m on my way. not sure how i ended up buying it but i’m glad i did. for my dear friend frank. danke. by dd

song released 2001, original post on TS 2003: “what could possibly make nick cave and the bad seeds any cooler? jarvis cocker, that’s who… released in 2001 this video still kicks brooklyn ars and for the youngsters, lets point out where the reference video for “pass this on” (the knife-2003) came from.” by dd
not so sure about how this is related to “the artist”, but coco c’est génial… apparently she had only one day of rehearsal and rocked it on the table like it was nobody’s business… not even bérénice bejo’s… surprising match up of coco with WHBM. love the tap idea, chic, and fun… so what’s next for coco? a duet? the commercial with coco for white house black market was filmed by swedish director johan renck, through the agency ceft and company in new york, with music by our friend donald cumming of the virgins. you can see the behind the scenes on youtube here. by kv
