whenever I'm listening to Black Earth I'm convinced they're the best band in the world

Do Bohren translate their stage banter when touring abroad?
"Hallo, wir sind Bohren und der Club of Gore. Wir spielen heute 2 Stücke mehr. Allerdings sind die neuen kürzer. Im Endeffekt kommt es also auf's selbe heraus.""Als nächstes kommt eins unserer Protestlieder. Es richtet sich gegen Teilnahmslosigkeit,""Das nächste Stück ist nach dem selben Prinzip aufgebaut wie alle unsere Stücke: Keine Möbel, aber 'ne Putzfrau!"

We will never poll this record, unfortunately, so let me just say "MAXIMUM BLACK" FTW

A discography poll would be more fun I think

This was our dog the first time she heard Bohren on the stereo. It very much got her attention.

They were very moody last night at the Round Chapel in east London, as ever (they're there again tonight). Down to a trio now, the keys guy and double bass guy share the percussive duties between playing notes on their respective instruments, which seems easy enough when you're playing at 0.01 mph. Sax dude was very chatty too in a self-parodic lugubrious German kind of way - "this is a song about a girl who went to America...(long pause)...she's dead now".

i am a little burned out on their slomo shtick. apparently the drummer left. probably he fell asleep while drumming.

btw i saw them a while ago in the columbia theater in berlin. it was packed. and i think there were quite a lot of musicians there. i even talked to some. on the whole not a vey memorable concert. their song banter is half funny but their music is just too slow so that i can enjoy it live. it works better at home late at night with dimmed lights or candles, a glass of wine, maybe a joint and some deep conversations.
