This came through me email today and since it's neubauten.org mail I figure it best to just pass it along here. I'm also going to add some of the tags, and an exposed Youtube link, cause you know I'm cool like that.

English version below!

Liebe alle,

es gibt spannende Neuigkeiten zu vermelden!
Auch wenn derzeit keine Konzerte der Einstürzenden Neubauten geplant sind, tut sich doch einiges hinter den Kulissen der Band. So sind alle Mitglieder weiterhin mit ihren Soloprojekten beschäftigt und auf den Bühnen dieser Welt unterwegs. Und ganz nebenbei werden in Hinblick auf die im nächsten Jahr zu feiernden „30 Jahre Einstürzenden Neubauten“ schon mal die Archive gesichtet und neu aufgearbeitet. Einige Schätze wurden dabei bereits gehoben.

So wird z.B. in den kommenden Tagen endlich das 96er Album „Ende Neu“ wieder zu bekommen sein. Das damals von der Presse hoch gelobte Werk kommt um den Bonus Track „Bili Rubin“ erweitert, im überarbeiteten Design, sowohl als CD und Vinyl und selbstredend über das hauseigene Label Potomak und deren Lieblingsvertrieb INDIGO (www.indigo.de) in den Handel.

Doch nicht nur für die Ohren, auch für die Augen gibt es interessantes neues Material anzukündigen.
So werden die Neubauten und deren Mitglieder sowohl im neuen Uli Schüppel -Film „ELEKTROKOHLE (VON WEGEN)” (Infos unter: www.schueppel-films.de, www.myspace.com/offways, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtDV9vbkHXI),
und im neuen Berlinfilm von Michael Ballhaus und Ciro Cappelari „In Berlin“ (Infos unter: http://www.inberlin-film.de) zu sehen sein.

“In Berlin” Premieren in Deutschland:

23.06. – 19:00 Uhr in Bremen – Kino: Cinema Ostertor –
24.06. – 20:00 Uhr in Köln – Kino: Odeon (Severinstr. 81)

Bleibt also unbedingt gespannt, denn wir werden demnächst weitere großartige Neuigkeiten ankündigen können. So geht z.B. im Juli unser neuer Online-Shop ans Netz. Doch mehr dazu und zu weiteren Themen rund um die Einstürzenden Neubauten in unserem nächsten Newsletter.


Viele Grüße aus Berlin,
euer Neubauten Team


Hello everybody,

There’s exciting news to announce!
Even if no concerts of the Einstürzende Neubauten are currently planned, there’s still a lot going on behind the scenes. All of the band members continue to be engaged with their solo projects and are now performing on stages around the world. And incidentally, the archives are presently being sorted through and reworked in preparation for next year’s upcoming celebration, “30 years of Einstürzende Neubauten.” Some treasures have already been rediscovered.

As a result, “Ende Neu,” an album from ’96 for example, will finally be available again within the next days. This compilation, highly praised by the press at that time, is being extended by the bonus track “Bili Rubin” in a revised design, both as a CD and vinyl record and is of course for sale through the in-house label Potomak and our favorite distributor INDIGO (www.indigo.de).

However, there is interesting new material to publicize not just for the ears alone, but also for the eyes.
The Neubauten as a group and individual band members can be seen both in the new Uli Schüppel film “ELEKTROKOHLE (VON WEGEN)” (info: www.schueppel-films.de; www.myspace.com/offways; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtDV9vbkHXI) and in the new Berlin film by Michael Ballhaus and Ciro Cappelari “In Berlin” (info: http://www.inberlin-film.de).

“In Berlin” Dates of the following premieres in Germany:

23.06. – 19:00 Uhr in Bremen – Kino: Cinema Ostertor –
24.06. – 20:00 Uhr in Köln – Kino: Odeon (Severinstr. 81)

So stay tuned, because we’ll soon be able to announce further attention-grabbing news. For instance, our new Internet shop will go online in July. There’ll be more about this and about the Einstürzende Neubauten in our next newsletter.


Best regards from Berlin,
Your Neubauten Team

Well To start will The Death Of Bunny Munro is coming out on 1st of September in Hardcover and Audio CD with Nick Cave reading it himself.





'Put Cormac McCarthy, Franz Kafka and Benny Hill together in a Brighton seaside guesthouse and they might just come up with The Death of Bunny Munro. As it stands though, this novel emerges emphatically as the work of one of the great cross-genre storytellers of our age; a compulsive read possessing all Nick Cave's trademark horror and humanity, often thinly disguised in a galloping, playful romp.' Review by Irvine Welsh

A CD I picked up for 13 bucks is The Roots Of Nick Cave from the Complete Roots series by the people at www.snappermusic.com.

The band will feature Ed Kuepper on guitar, Kuepper, formally of Australian bands The Saints and Laughing Clowns, completes the current Bad Seeds live line up of Warren Ellis, Martyn P. Casey, Thomas Wydler, Jim Sclavunos and Conway Savage. Kuepper has been, and continues to be, a significant influence on contemporary Australian music. He formed the original version of the proto punk band The Saints in 1973 whilst in high school and when the original Saints split he formed what, in the eyes of many, was an even bolder enterprise - Laughing Clowns. The Clowns broke up in 1984 and Kuepper launched a prolific solo career which has seen the release of more than 20 albums and several film and soundtrack projects. His latest studio recording was 'Jean Lee and the Yellow dog' in 2007

Ed Kuepper has said nothing is planned after this tour but I’m hoping for a new album, imagine Ed and Nick co-written songs would sound like? We can hope if the tour goes well maybe they might just go into a studio just start recording a new Bad Seeds album. Well I wish anyway, do you too?

Basically, this is inspired by the Nordic Artist Chart by user Radiopilote. I wanted this for german artists, found nothing similar and did it on my own.

I browsed tags, similar artists and national charts to get this list of the top 100 artists on Last.fm, sorted by the number of overall listeners (date: 27 April, 2009).
If you find any mistakes or want to comment anything...., comment!

By the way don't forget to scroll down to see Germany's Tag Cloud and find out from which "Bundesland" the most artists originate!

Undergoing a rather critical re-evaluation of what is relevant and what is banal and meaningless when it comes to music. But, I'm sure no one wants to hear about that.

Received the first 5 remastered albums by Einstürzende Neubauten for my birthday, still processing them. Halber Mensch sounds MUCH BETTER now, which is good as it was the first EN I have ever listened to. Also forcing my way through Nur Was Nicht Ist, Ist Möglich, gives a first person perspective to their albums, philosophy, live tours and Andrew Unruh's love of molotov cocktails. Highly recommended if you have the time for it.

Soisong's new release was dispatched from Thailand(?) today, and will arrive soon. Shocking to think it has been nearly two years since Form Grows Rampant by The Threshold Houseboys Choir and one year since The New Backwards by Coil. Everything has changed significantly since then.

New Hecq and This Morn' Omina releases are also out now. Going to pick these up @ Kinetik festival. Attending the Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday shows. Will probably dedicate Friday night to searching for art galleries, museums, and so forth. If you see a thin guy with red hair / green eyes and an ant-zen, galakthorrö, lustmord, or black dress shirt jumping around having fun, it's probably me.

Best to end this now, before it gets too long winded and annoying.
