I had planned to make a video where I talk about my favorite German records, speaking German. It didn't go as well as planned. Es tut mir leid.

I speak fluent German and what you actually said at the beginning was Aja and Pet Sounds are the greatest records ever released and Jazz can be very entertaining and doesn't shred the enamel off your teeth. Probably.

@RobertFithen Ай бұрын

This is why I didn't finish the original video.

Seriously though, I think you did a grand job.

Rob, you got me wanting to learn German! I'm a vinyl collector and my wife says you're the best record person we watch. Keep on rockin! Achtung Baby!

The soundtracks to Sorcerer & Risky Business by Tangerine 🍊 Dream are phenomenal 👌.

@kookamunga2458 Ай бұрын

Tangerine Dream had very good sound quality or audio fidelity on their earlier albums . A good sound engineer / mastering / mixing can really make the music shine .

Your German is great. Don‘t apologize! There is much more to discover in german vinyl. Propaganda, Klaus Nomi, Nena for example. Various styles. It‘s worth to dig and see what comes up. Really enjoy your chanel and the wide spectrum. Thank you a lot. And a big hug from Berlin 🇩🇪

@RobertFithen Ай бұрын

Nena was my introduction to German music. I don't know very much about the band Propaganda.

@lankwitzbear Ай бұрын

@@RobertFithenPropaganda is 80‘s synth pop. Produced by Trevor Horn. „Dr. Mabuse“, „p-Machinery“, „Duel“. Check out the album „A Secret Wish“. Lots of german words hidden in the english songs. One of the two german female singers has some solo stuff on vinyl. Claudia Brücken. She covered ELO‘s „One Summer Dream“. 🤗

Propaganda! very German, very good. And Camouflage.

me beeing from Austria (german speaking country) i have to say that you had a killer pronounciation on the Falco rap. almost no accent at all, maybe a little austrian accent since Falco was Austrian as well 🙃 - perfect!

German is a fun, interesting language, but by no means easy. Kudos for giving it the old college try. It's super helpful to know German if you're a music lover. Whether you're into classical, opera, metal, prog, art rock, etc., you'll be able to dig deeper into the music and understand the lyrics, be it Wagner or Rammstein.

@spacebearsven7130 Ай бұрын

That's awesome, Robert! And you don't have to apologize for your rusty Germany - some words were absolutely correct! ;-) Seriously, I was looking forward to your German video and just the little snippets are hilariously awesome! ;-) I think, it's a good thing you didn't fracture your tongue! Thanks for the attempt and keep the great videos coming! Ich wünsche dir noch einen schönen Tag und alles Gute!

Dann schreibe ich mal auf Deutsch; schon damit Sie, Herr Fithen, Ihre Deutschkenntnisse weiter verfeinern können. Ich schaue Ihre Videos sehr gerne, obwohl ich mit einem Großteil der von Ihnen besprochenen Musik wenig anfangen kann. Das ist aber gar nicht schlimm, denn Sie haben Humor, klare und gut begründete Ansichten und offensichtlich auch Herzensbildung. Und das ist es was zählt. Deshalb sage ich Ihnen vielen Dank für die zahlreichen unterhaltsamen Videos und sende einen lieben Gruß aus Deutschland.

@RobertFithen Ай бұрын

Danke! Welche Art von Musik hörst du?

@demdschungelkonigseinkanal5326 Ай бұрын

@@RobertFithen eine breite Palette, aber z.B. wenig Hardrock der 80'er und eigentlich nie psychedelische Musik. Und ich höre sogar ab und an Jazz ;-) . Was an Pet Sounds so toll sein soll habe ich allerdings auch nie verstanden. If i write a comment on one of your next videos, it will be in english, unless your video is in spanish (then i will give up).

@JWD1992 Ай бұрын

I respect the attempt. I certainly have no knack for speaking other languages. The closest I get is the dreaded "KraftVerk," haha. Funny, this video reminded me of the intro to Steppenwolf's "Earschplittenloudenboomer" with John Kay switching between English and German. He was born in Germany, so he probably doesn't have to think twice about it.

The first German film I saw in theaters was “Der amerikanische Freund”. Seventies and early 80s was a great time to watch German films at rep houses: Wenders, Herzog, Fassbinder, Scholondorff. I was totally enamored with Herzog’s Hearts of Glass, and The Tin Drum was quite a viewing experience.

Leders are GO! I have like 6 pair. They are worn in the South and Austria for festivals. I love how German sounds in songs. I collect various Schlager records from the 70's (Cindy & Bert) as well as the electronic stuff, Scorpions, pop stuff (Nena, The Twins) and German/Austrian metal. Stuff like Ash Ra Temple is getting out reach for my budget. Check out "Dreamlike Land" by Richard Schneider Jr. and "Wolfgang Riechmann & Streetmark" for some cool German records nobody talks about. Tchuss!

Your german is very good! I recommend the selftitled album by the band Trio. It was produced by Klaus Voormann and is a classic of the Neue Deutsche Welle era. Before joining Trio their drummer Peter Behrens was a member of the german psychedelic rock band Silberbart. Their only album "4 Times Sound Razing" from 1971 is an insider tip for rare (but good) psychedelic stuff.
