"Weit weg" by Kasa
youtube
Decided to do a 'cover' version of one of my all time favorite songs by one of my all time favorite punk bands - which, unfortunately, doesn't really exists anymore. They didn't officially disband but haven't heard of them in years.
Such a shame. Loved them!
Last time I've seen Kasa was at a small festival. One of the speaker boxes caught fire when they were on stage. I also got to hang out with them later that evening and they got me drinks. Was a fantastic night!❤️
If you want to check out the - much better - original version: Klick here!

New hobby
So, the other day @ahamkaracature was bored and I decided to translate a song for him. It turns out translating the lyrics I grew up with is super fun, so I made another one.
This song is by the German punk rock band Die Toten Hosen (the dead trousers), and is one of my favourites.
Die Toten Hosen - Bonnie & Clyde
We never met before But I've been missing you for a long time. Even though it's the first time that I met you here, I always knew what you looked like. I want to steal the horses with you That are in our way. I'll go through thick and thin with you Till the end of the world.
Put your head on my shoulder It's nice to feel it there And we're playing Bonnie and Clyde
Come on, we'll steal a car I'll drive you around And we're playing Bonnie and Clyde
What we need to live We'll get it somehow We'll rob a few banks Or a money transporter. We'll kill two, three, four, five cops If there's no other way. Everybody knows what they're doing If they try to stop us.
Put your head on my shoulder It's nice to feel it there And we're playing Bonnie and Clyde
Even when the whole world is after us We don't care Cause we're Bonnie and Clyde
When it’s getting dicey* We'll make a run for it. In the mountains we'll lose everyone Who wants something from us. They'll never take us alive, No matter how many there are. Let "death or freedom" be written on our tombstone.
Put your head on my shoulder It's nice to feel it there And we're playing Bonnie and Clyde
Come on, let's bomb our way through life And open every door Cause we're Bonnie and Clyde
Put your head on my shoulder It's nice to feel it there And we're playing Bonnie and Clyde
Our love shall be an exploding charge That's gonna go off all the time You're Bonnie, I'm Clyde *not an ideal translation, the original is “When the ground burns beneath our feet”, if anyone has suggestions, pls let me know

hi! you said you liked killerpilze, and i’ve been trying to get into them lately (i only know a handful of songs haha) so i was wondering if you have any suggestions?
Oh, I love this ask! You really get me talking here!
I don't know what songs you've been listening to so far but one of my all-time favourites has to be Gegenparty simply because of the message behind it. Of the same album (Nichts is für immer, 2019) I also love Nachtronauten, Planet B, and Mutausbruch. Lieben wen ich will is an explicit song about being part of/ an ally of the LGBT+ community. Letztes Leben is also really cool.
SchneeSonneSchnee is one that always makes me cry. (Fun fact: at their 2018 show a girl next to me was crying so hard during that song that I just decided to hug her and we've been friends ever since. Even went to a festival this summer together)
Immer noch jung was what kept me going a lot of days when I was in hospital, knowing that they would always be with me through their music.
Grell is off the first album (of the same name) I ever bought for myself. It's really hopeful.
If you are looking for cute music videos, I can also totally recommend Nimm mich mit. It's so fucking cute. I promise.
On the other hand. If you're looking for something to cry over: Himmel I, II and III. As far as I can tell it's about the drummer's and the bassist's dad, who died far too young. While they were on tour.
Honerable mentions: komm komm. com, Plastik, Richtig Scheiße, Springt hoch and Faschos hinterm Mond.
This is already quite a list, but I can certainly still recommend more, so feel free to drop by again anytime you feel like it ;)

my kind of religious experience is my fave punk band dropping a new album so good that it makes me want to claw my fucking heart out of my chest as much as it makes me want to go out to burn the nearest cop station down

Mosquito Ego - Glomb
One of my favorite bands from high school was Stuttgart Noise Pop group MOSQUITO EGO! This is an extremely quirky and fun little piece of noise pop or noise punk. Just a super energetic and relaxing collection of weird little songs composed of really great punk songs, insanely goofy samples, and really great synth and electronic composition. This is a group that only put out one record when I was in high school but I remember seeing their posters and records in all the local record shops and stuff and being so excited for that record. Mosquito Ego forever.

Men are Pigs (Männer sind Schweine)
Another Translation, again of a song by Die Ärzte (the doctors). I mentioned this one in the tags of my first post.
Because the concept of “all men are pigs who only want one thing and don’t have emotions“ is exagerated and used with some irony, this song has sometimes been seen as a kind of party anthem for toxic masculinity by that crowd, which is the reason the band didn’t play it live for 14 years, stating that this was not their intended message or audience. Fortunately it seems to no longer be popular in that way.
Men are Pigs (Männer sind Schweine)
 Hello, my darling, I love you, you're the only one for me I think the others are all stupid, that's why I'm courting you. You're different, you're special, I can always tell. Now strip down and lie down because I'm so in love with you. Before long it’ll get dark, it'll soon be night. So a word of warning is in order:
Men are pigs, don't trust them, my childThey all want the same thing, because that's how men are.
A man only feels like a man when he can give it to you. He'll lie his head off just to get you into bed, And then the next morning he can't even remember your name. Reckless and uninhibited, he's got no feelings whatsoever. To him, love is like spilling his seed, Girl, always be aware of that:
Men are pigs - don't ask for sunshine Unfortunately exceptions do not exist In every man, there is always a pig Men are sows, don't believe a word they say They pledge you eternal fidelity And then the next morning they're gone Yeah, yeah, yeah
“What have I done that you always torment me and say you don't love me?” “You don't have the slightest idea what love is - we don't even know each other!” *
 And if you do make the mistake of marrying a husband Your rose cavalier will turn into a beast soon after the wedding Then he'll show his true self, all unshaven and disgusting Drinks beer, watches TV, gets fat fast and burps and farts in the marriage bed Then you'll have King Kong for a husband That's why I tell you, please always remember:
 Men are pigs (shady pigs, nasty pigs) Don't trust them, my child (disgusting pigs, nasty pigs) They all want the same thing (stupid pigs, stupid pigs) But are blind to true love (horny pigs) Men are rats (shady pigs, nasty pigs) Face them with cunning (disgusting pigs, mean pigs) They want to copulate with everything (foul pigs, shady pigs) That stands still for too long (horny pigs) Men are pigs (Shady pigs, nasty pigs) Don't ask for sunshine (disgusting pigs, mean pigs) Unfortunately there are no exceptions (stupid pigs, Nazi pigs) There's a pig in every man (horny pigs) Men are cars (we don't want cop pigs**) Only without a spare wheel (nasty pigs, nasty pigs) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (molotovs and stones, cop pigs**)
*This is only one of the possible inserts here, an audio clip from the German dubbing of the movie Play Misty for Me (1971). The dubbing is, as most dubbings are, a terrible translation. In the original, the conversation goes:
  “Why are you playing these games? Why are you pretending you don't love me?” “I don't even believe I'm hearing this.” “But I love you!” “You haven't got the vaguest idea what love is. We don't even know each other.”
Other possible snippets are two scenes from Some like it Hot (1959)
 And one from Blue Velvet (1986), depending on which version of the song you listen to.
 **both of those text passages are in reference to a punk song from 1980 (MaP was released in 1998) called “(Wir wollen keine) Bullenschweine”, meaning “(we don't want) cop pigs”, in which part of the text is an instruction how to make molotov cocktails and which was a call to revolt inspired by police brutality and protests in west berlin in 1968, following a protest at which, amongst many other things, protesters were shot (the singer gives the instruction and then follows with “Like 68 in west-berlin”).  My translation can be found here
