In the wrong places...

To be honest, I’ve never particularly enjoyed bands singing in German. Probably because they remind how utterly incompetent I was back in school when the blue-eyed teachers tried to beat a little German grammar into my head. But also for the simple reason that it just doesn't sound very good (not offending anyone, really). However as always the really important thing is the music, and when it’s as great as this track by Locas In Love, I don’t care in what language the song is song in. And An Den Falschen Orten (had to use Google translate to figure out exactly what the title meant) is an absolutely wonderful energetic indie rock track with a rather insisting (and quite The Velvet Underground inspired) organ sounding keyboard. Thanks to J.A. for the heads up!

Yep, that song is great even though it's sung in German. :-)

Tocotronic is great too, though I prefer their later work to their early efforts.

Jeg har boet i HH, læst tysk på Uni og må sige der findes uendeligt meget godt tysk musik derude. Nævnes bør Tomte, Samba og Busch. Alle bands der falder inden for Indie eller Jangly Pop genrene. De har sammen med Tocotronic givet mig masser af gode oplevelser og udvidet min musikalske horisont. Jeg er nu bosat i Nuuk, Grønland og indrømmer gerne, at jeg også synes at meget grønlandsk musik er superfedt. Her kan jeg dog ikke forstå teksterne endnu, men jeg synger med af bedste vilje alligevel. At synge med på sangtekster er en god og velkendt teknik at lære et nyt sprog på. Der synges ihvertfald på grønlandsk noget langsommere end der tales i dagligdagen, hvilket gør det nemmere at følge stavelser og udtale Mvh. Søren Andersen
