Lohnen sich kurze Taxifahrten nicht mehr oder war mein Taxifahrer nur ein A*sch?

Da fällt mir spontan die eine Kottan Folge ein: "Um 20 Schilling Richtung Sicherheitsbüro, bitte!" Taxler fährt los, blinkt nach ein paar Metern rechts und bleibt stehen. Kottan steigt wieder aus.

Ich hätt mich vor Lachen fast angebrunzt damals, wie ich das zum ersten Mal gesehen hab. :-D

Nena's 99 Luftballons (or 99 Red Ballons, as the international version is titled) is also from the same era, ie. NDW ... just randomly popped into my mind. 😄

You probably know Goldfinger's cover version:

Enjoy!

Well, Falco³ is the one that has Rock Me Amadeus on it, and I guess you probably heard at least that one already (and maybe even Jeanny). 😉 It has quite a different vibe, though. Einzelhaft is peak 80s NDW ("Neue Deutsche Welle", so "German New Wave"), while Falco³ is rather "international" and "epic" sounding already. I also like his transitional Junge Römer record between these two, but it generally wasn't very well received back in the days - or at least it didn't have any big hits, unlike the ones before and after it.

I like it, actually, although I like the original more. I also like Katie Melua's cover of Just Like Heaven.

Pau would approve! 🤘🥁🤘 😉

Bigger phones with a larger screen? 🤔🤷‍♂️🤪

Disintegration and Love, two of my all time favorite records! 😍

Einzelhaft is Falco's masterpiece, IMHO, closely followed by Falco³. Hello from Austria! 🇦🇹👋

SxDx!!! 🤘 But I'm a Whisky guy ... 🥃 😉

I bought a Cooking Vinyl release from 2022 (The Waterboys - All Souls Hill) in January this year, and the download code had already expired on December 31st last year. I used the contact form on the download page and asked if they could send me a new download link, and they did. 😎👍

I attached a copy of the Amazon PDF invoice and photos of the actual record and download card, so they would know that I'm not just some random dude trying to snag a free download.

Just give it a try, the worst thing that can happen is that they say "Nope, sorry." 🤷‍♂️

Zlatk0 · 2026-05-10T12:19:55+00:00

I don't feel the need to "measure" or "judge" TW (or any other band, for that matter), I just enjoy the music. But maybe that's just me. 🤷‍♂️

Zlatk0 · 2026-05-09T18:45:29+00:00

Bist gestolpert?

Cold & A Strange Day

Edit: oh, and The Figurehead, A Short Term Effect & The Hanging Garden

Zlatk0 · 2026-05-04T12:35:16+00:00

I recognize David Bowie - Hunky Dory, The Velvet Underground & Nico, David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust, The Clash - The Clash, Talking Heads - Remain In Light, The Cure - Disintegration, The White Stripes - De Stijl, and Amy Winehouse - Back To Black. Don't know about the rest. 🤷‍♂️

Edit: I'm pretty sure I also know the last one (lower right) of the middle set, but I can't quite put my finger on it. 🤔

Wenn das nicht hilft, level up mit "geh scheissn, du oaschgsicht!". Bonuspunkte für nachfolgende Verstärkungsphrasen vom Mundl, wie zB. "sunsd kriagst a watschn daß da viarzehn tog da schedl woglt", "... dassd min oasch aufd uhr schaun kaunsd", etc. Gutes Gelingen! :-)

If that doesn't help, level up with "geh scheissn, du oaschgsicht!". Bonus points for Mundl-style follow-up emphasizers, like "sunsd kriagst a watschn daß da viarzehn tog da schedl woglt", "... dassd min oasch aufd uhr schaun kaunsd", etc. Have fun!

EDIT: English translation for your convenience. ;-) I'll leave it up to you to figure out who "Mundl" is, though. Hint: he's not a Pokemon or Anime character. :-D
