Germans conquering America again for the first time already or something

Only they’re trying to do it with music this time. You know, in the long tradition of Bach, Beethoven, Heino and all that? Sorry Freunde (buds), but it ain’t-a-gonna happen.



And I don’t care if the lead singer looks like Hermine from the Harry Potter movies (the first or second one maybe) only all in black and an evil-type version of her even though he’s actually a dude, although probably not quite officially yet because I think he’s just ten. Kids these days.

That’s right. Germany’s Tokio Hotel hopes to expand it’s "already-rabid fanbase” and make it big in America (and not in Japan first as you might think), once they’re big, that is. And some Americans are actually helping them, dad gum it, but like now already. They just went on Conan O’Brian for crying out loud, for instance. What is that?

It’s not that I don’t like their music or anything it’s just that I don’t like their music or anything (as if I could). They should go back to the hotel in Tokio where they started out (its spelled Tokyo by the way, Jungs, or can be) or Buxtehude or Entenhausen or wherever it is they came from as long as it’s nowhere near Berlin, and leave my country alone.

And work on your German while you’re at it. That’s right, I said German. Their English isn’t all that bad.

"That German band with the weird lead-singer chick."

Kommentare auf Deutsch? Logisch.

PS: Thanks for the androgeny link, Joe.

2 - When I read some loony critic lauding their "flawless androgeny" I knwe there was something vagely "Berlin scene" about them...
