"Much Worse"
1988
[Intro]
No matter what people say, these songs this way
Come from your boss DJ Don
Yeah, all day
Turn it up
Full blast, this one
The telephone keeps ringing, so I ripped it off the wall
I cut myself while shaving, now I can't make a call
Now I got a headache, or maybe it's the tooth (I'm in the know)
Things couldn't get much worse, I gots to tell the truth
Though it couldn't get much worse
But if they could, they would
But the best expect the worst
I hope that's understood
I just run out of milk, there's no paper in the loo
Now it started raining, lightning, thunder too
I now begin to wonder, "How bad can it get?"
A brother comes in through my door, nicks my TV set
So I light up a cigarette, listen to some sounds
I set my house on fire, burnt it to the ground
Couldn't get much worse
But if they could, they would
But the best expect the worst
I hope that's understood

Now I got a cold sore
My brother's on the run
I might have a change in luck
Before my day is done
Couldn't get much worse
But if they could, they would
But the best expect the worst
I hope that's understood

It will be whiter

Verschwende Deine Jugend
Ein Doku-Roman über den deutschen Punk und New Wave
In diesem Buch zum deutschen Punk und New Wave erzählen alle wichtigen Protagonisten der Szene, wie durch die englische Punk-Explosion von 1977 zum erstenmal auch eine deutschsprachige Popkultur möglich wurde, wie Musik und Haltung der „Neuen Welle“ auf Literatur und Malerei ausstrahlten und wie diese blühende Subkultur in der Funkultur der „Neuen Deutschen Welle” ihr Ende fand. In diesem Buch kommen nicht nur Bands wie Fehlfarben, DAF oder Abwärts zu Wort und Popmusiker wie Campino, Blixa Bargeld oder Nina Hagen, sondern auch über Punk sozialisierte Künstler wie Christoph Schlingensief, Ben Becker oder Markus Oehlen und Popmusiker von heute wie Westbam oder Jan Müller von Tocotronic.

Juicebumps - “Scatterbrain” (2023)
New to me band outta Oakland that’s been growing on me lately.
Super fun blend of post-punk, art-punk, and new-wave sounds. Jerky rhythms and catchy riffs, offset by stream-of-consciousness lyrics set in an alternate “Weird Tales” universe.
Der Stream läuft, im Chat ist auch noch Platz. 😅

Do you remember how Soft Cell caught us all with their cover of Tainted Love in 1981?
For many, Soft Cell’s first appearance on Top Of The Pops with “Tainted Love” was their gateway to a whole new world of bittersweet electro pop and blurring of the genres.
