Drunken Germans

Guten Morgen. Heute schon was krasses gesehen? Betrunkene Deutsche? Am hellichten Tag! Nein, es ist nicht lustig.

Betrunkene Deutsche in den 60'er Jahren. Aus der Dokumentation 'Mondo Cane', von Gualtiero Jacopetti und Franco Prosperi.
Prost.

Ausrisse zu Maus

REVIEWS OF 'SONGS' (2006)

It took this Ariel Pink cohort five years to write and record his debut album, and only five minutes to become more annoying than Ariel Pink.
- CMJ

For me, this is just too weird. The first couple of tracks make this the most skip-able album of 2006.
-Subba Cultcha

Apparently, Maus spent five years working on this album, which is a shame because, frankly, its awful.
-Vice

There isn't one song you could call 'good' on the whole album.
-Music Zine

Overall, I can't recommend this album even as a novelty listen. Maybe I just don't get it. It seems as if Maus sabotages practically any hint of an interesting melody, lyric, or instrumental part with a blatantly grating one at almost every turn.
-Indie Workshp

Maus's baroquely deadpan voice - and thats being polite - effectively spoils many a song. Some will hear a little Nick Cave in it; others will hear a man crapping out of his mouth.
-Drowned in Sound

If it is supposed to be funny, it is not. If it is meant seriousy, then Maus needs some SERIOUS help.
-Another Zine


REVIEWS OF 'LOVE IS REAL' (2007)

His music now lacks the surreal, jarring juxtapositions that made his earlier work such a rewardingly confounding experience. Maus seems content to sing his heart out instead of rattling cages, which is rather a shame.
-The Wire

Fußball in Senftenberg

Public Viewing im Konrad Zausel Mädchenzentrum. Bildausfälle beim ZDF (unschuldig) und für die letzten paar Minuten fällt der linke Beamer aus und hunderte brüllende und klopfende Studenten sehen nur halbseitig, wie P. Lahm (hier ein Archivbild) zum Schluss noch ein Tor schießt. Der Sieg der Spanier macht sie damit auch zum Finalgegner der deutschen Mannschaft. Woof Woof!
