Einsturzende Neubauten Dismantle Dancefloor Egos


Though some may not necessarily appreciate being hectored in German for six minutes by Willem Defoe hiding under Bono's mid-'80s shag 'do, this sparsely funky live performance of "Yu-Gung" by mechanical men Einsturzende Neubauten does make me hope that the next step in dance-rock retro involves indie kids getting on the good foot by hammering away at bed frames and sheet metal. Next thing you know I'm gonna be searching out Digital Hardcore videos to continue the stern Teuton party. A slippery slope! [YouTube]

Einsturzende Neubauten's new album, which is set for release in October, was completed with the financial assistance of fans who donated money at the band's official Web site. Along with the satisfaction of knowing that they helped create some massive noise, people who handed over cash got to play record-label honcho with the band via Webcam, even getting into arguments over ideas the band had discarded. Ah, money: It can make everyone feel entitled. [IGN]
