(#3) Tears for Fears: “Songs from the big chair”

Today I present to you “Songs from the big chair” (1985) of Tears for Fears,  the second studio album by this British rock band. My owner says that the singles “Shout” and “Everybody want´s to rule the world” were an important part of his teenage life´s soundtrack. Well, and he said that at the mid 1980s teenagers who - for example loved Tears for Fears - had a lot better music taste than today´s generation.  “Everything was better in the old days!” Blablabla. I wasn´t there, but I am at least as cool as Tears for Fears. Actually, I think that I do look a lot better than these two guys do. What do you think?

(#2) New Order: Substance 1987

Last week I presented Kraftwerk´s 1978-album „Man machine“, this time I re-activated New Order´s „Substance 1987“ – in a way a band which continues what Kraftwerk started.

What a masterpiece! My owner says that the singles „Blue Monday“ and „True Faith“ still belong to his favourites. I guess „Substance 1987“ is one of the record covers with the most distinctive design.  So listen to it, again and again!

(#1) KRAFTWERK: MAN MACHINE (1978)

Hi, it´s me! My name is Dietmar, and I am a Parson Russel Terrier from Dusseldorf, Germany. I am going to present to you fotos and videos of me and my fovourite record covers. Well, actually it´s rather my owner who is also the owner of these records. But that´s a secret. In the future on this blog you will see many many record covers from the 1970s and 1980s: good taste, and bad taste music, german and international acts, stars and one hit wonders.

Well, we are in Dusseldorf, the birthplace of modern electronica, so we HAVE TO start with my hometown´s most famous band ever: KRAFTWERK, which is also the most influental band in history of electronic music. On the pics you see me with their seventh studio Album “MAN MACHINE” from 1978. 

Do you remember the song “The model”? They also recorded a version in german: “Das Modell”.
