Falco : Rock Me Amadeus [ purchase ] I thought I'd give you something non-Japanese today as a bit of a palate cleanser. It's still foreign, though, so there's that. Falco, an Austrian New Wave singer, gave the world this funky ode to the awesomeness of his fellow countryman, Mozart. ( He was a virtuose, was a rock idol, and everyone shouted: Come on and rock me, Amadeus… ) It became a worldwide hit in 1986, even reaching #1 in the US, a country notoriously tough [...]
Some classic '80s Austrian synth-pop for all y'all. I'm currently working through a handful of vinyl rips I've been sticking on my desktop with the intention of posting up here & forgetting about. If you're not familiar with this one, get it inta ye, everyone needs a bit of Amadeus in their lives.. Falco - Rock Me Amadeus [320 vinyl rip - pretty worn copy though] Keep an ear out for 2:09, some great sass right there.
It's Friday and I'm afraid there is no Top 5 Most Played Songs list this week because I lost all the play count numbers when my computer crashed. Yes, my computer flipped out in exactly 3 months and 5 days. That, my friends, is a personal record for me. See that picture on the left? That's what my computer would have looked like if it were a desktop and if I wasn't able to return it for a full refund. The nice computer store people even threw in a few oatmeal raisin cookies just to [...]
Heard of bands being 'big in Japan'? Well this band is big in Canada, which also happens to be where they're from. But luckily for us, Shout Out Out Out Out are going to be heading to Europe pretty soon - no small feat considering the 6 piece band has 2 drummers, 2 bassists, 11 synthesizers and a sampler/vocoder. This Malente remix of their track Self Loathing Rulz has been stuck in my head ever since I heard it in the early hours of this morning. It's 8-bit glitchiness is amazing. It's perfect for a Friday. I also unearthed a techno cover [...]
Over here at GDD , our gardens are very lush and flourish with only the dankest and freshest buds for our ears to savor. Today i have decided to take a walk in that garden and pick some eclectic jams to sweeten your day. I also decided to pick out some eye candy from our very own and extremely talented web designer Falco™ . Some say he is 2nd coming of jesus christ, while others say they have seen lazers shoot out of his eyes. However, do not [...]
La prima classifica dell'anno porta sostanzialmente conferme rispetto alle ultime uscite del 2009. Con i migliori che semmai si consolidano. Tiene il passo un pò dappertutto Lady Gaga , che ormai fa di ogni singolo un incredibile successo, ma come lei si segnalano ai primissimi posti anche i Black Eyed Peas . Per la serie nostalgia, in Austria tiene ancora botta la raccolta postuma di Falco . E mentre Joe Mc Elderry, il vincitore dello X Factor inglese, raggiunge anche la vetta del Regno Unito , si segnala [...]
Poche novità ma buone nella settimana di vendita dei dischi in Europa che coincide con il Natale. Nel senso che i migliori stanno tutti lì o quasi, ma si affaccia anche qualche novità. Per esempio, comincia la scalata al Continente di " Bad romance ", il nuovo singolo di Lady Gaga . Dopo 17 anni ritroviamo invece con grande piacere al primo posto i Rage Against the Machine , band alternativa americana, che ha conquistato la Gran Bretagna col singolo "Killing in the name" . In alto, tutti i numeri uno. Sopra, la [...]

I didn't post last night because I got back from Laser Daft Punk rather late and was just too tired. The Seattle Science Center's laser dome put on this show. Well, I went in expecting lasers and Daft Punk. I came out half deaf because the sound quality was atrocious (you couldn't hear the notes of the bassline in Around The World... just feel this big bass rumble) but over all, it was amazing. Television Rules The Nation gave us an amazing montage of headbanging robots, a pyramid, Thomas's LED [...]

Pre-order Tav Falco's history of Memphis from Creation Books
Just to get it out of the way: yes - when you add in shipping, Mondo Memphis comes to over $100. But ... it's actually two books about Memphis in one. The first part is written by rockabilly revivalist Tav Falco. Ghosts Behind the Sun is simultaneously a history of ...

A Science Fiction Electro Crisis
A few weeks ago, I wrote about how much I loved the design of the Gotta Dance Dirty website, and the guy who made it, Falco, left me a comment to say I should check out his site . It turns out he does design work for a whole bunch of artists, and seeing his graphics for Bubblegum Sci Fi made me want to give them a listen. Here's a couple of their sci-fi-tastic remixes that I picked up from around the web: Chromeo - [...]

Falco ist tot, Jeanny lebt
"Jeanny" war der wohl kontroverseste Nummer-1-Hit der 80er. Der Song war Teil einer Trilogie, von der zu Falcos Lebzeiten jedoch nur zwei Teile erschienen sind. Nun ist der dritte Teil aufgetaucht. In meiner Kindheit gab es zwei Songs, die mich das Fürchten lehrten. Beide trugen Personennamen, beide waren auf Deutsch gesungen und beide wurden hin und [...]

Tripwire Video Premiere: Falco's "Wiener Blut"
This one goes out to little Falco? Wait, that dude's name is Falcon ?He was in the attic the whole time?!? IN A BOX?!?
Falco
Even wat aandacht voor een misschien wel vergeten held. Want tegenwoordig zijn er dan wel heel wat hippe "boykes" die bij elke gelegenheid lopen te "flonken" en "shinen" op "dikke" beats, maar het was toch mooi de Oostenrijkse Falco die reeds in 1986 een dikke nummer 1-hit scoorde in de Verenigde Staten met zijn rap/rock-song 'Rock Me Amadeus'. De Bloodhound Gang begonnen hun nummer ' Mope ' dan ook niet voor niets met een eerbetoon aan hun (bij een aanrijding overleden) held: We gonna drop this next bomb for a money makin' playa that ain't with [...]
Remember Falco?
Do you remember Falco? Check out this Rock Me Amadeus video from 1985. We're bringing the 80's back and you're invited to sing along! If you dug this post, you're gonna love these posts... If there were any others like it... my bad!
So then. Pretty amazing.

Der Kommissar, After The Fire
Originally formed in 1974 by keyboard player Pete Banks, the British band After The Fire would have to wait nearly a decade before having a hit in the US - and it would prove to be their only one - but it was worth the wait as Der Kommissar is one of the most enduring hits of the new wave era. The song was actually a cover of a European hit by another touchstone of the period, Falco, who topped the charts with Rock Me Amadeus . Pulled from their ATF album which [...]
