The Laughing Fit brings you the first musical suggestion of the season. Any season will do. Sraight from the land of Deutschland we propose that you purchase (or download from iTunes) The Robocop Kraus' album - They Think They Are The Robocop Kraus.
While their music may not be everyon's cup of tea I am particularly fond of their lyrics. They play with words in a lornesque fashion. Check out "In Fact You're Just Fiction" for a sample of that. Enjoy the tune. For it is a tune.
From The Phoenix Review:
"Kinetic grasshopper melodies, sing-song vocal lines and group chant choruses, perky and bright synthesizer licks, skewed rhythms, and outbursts of power-strummed guitars all serve slyly cynical but inoffensive lyrics that rant and wonder about religion, terrorism, and life’s banalities and amazing improbabilities. If that sounds like Talking Heads, Devo, and Kraftwerk tumbled into a cosmic blender, well, so do the Robocop Kraus. Even better, their occasional funky underpinnings have a distinctly white European brittleness that comes off as geeky charm."
the laughing fit
- A journal of merriment. "He deserves paradise who makes his companions laugh". Inspired by Punch, MAD, the Onion and other irreverent magazines. This is the blog that was created because "not everyone is in on the joke". The laughing fit ... the moaning stay out.
