This is a high-quality presentation, the discussion of the passion for the creative process and the bits of career history has me checking out a bunch of Lou albums that I was unfamiliar with.

Is Rogan not returning his phone calls? Henry talks a lot of shit but doesnt back it up.

Great interview... one of the most detailed Lou and insightful one i´ve come across with him.

Thanks a lot for another interesting Blixa interview, Elvar! I'm really looking forward to the mentioned Bowie EP, especially to "Where are we now" because I can very much imagine this song is great in Blixas voice and of course the Berlin references are in the lyrics apart from the overall mood/theme of the song text. Somehow I think this choice really fits a lot. Hope the green light by the Bowie estate will come in no time! It was also interesting for me to hear how Blixa himself thinks about his voice change(s) and that he thinks his voice is still continuing to change. Apart from the sound of his voice he developed another style of pronouncing the words over time I would say, I'm not sure if non German speakers hear it, it's hard to describe. Nowadays the pronunciation is much more poetry-like/clear and maybe "elegant" in a way (really hard to describe it) whereas in the very early songs the pronunciation is more casual/sometimes slangy in parts. For example I think where he sang "Sehnsucht, ist die einz-je Energie" he'd rather pronounce every syllable of the German word for "only" nowadays: "ein-zi-ge" very clearly instead of the more slangy sounding "einz-je", at least that's what I imagine. Maybe - or should I say probably? - a result of his speech work, I don't know. The evolution of his voice and pronunciation style is really super interesting. Not sure if it's a good idea to go to the Eurovision Song Contest though, the ESC and his music are two different worlds for me for some reason :D. Not sure what others think about it ;)

Did you ask him about EN? if so when? I only have mobile data only and cant watch all otherwise its gone.

Agree that the album Rampen is exceptional…j upon multiple listenings, I like it more and more. Also agree with Blixa saying the band plays it great live. I was blown away in Copenhagen both nights. They sounded incredible. The songs played very well live.

No video this time?

For me the last gteatest albums are Ende Neu and Silence is Sexy, i started losing them with Alles Wieder Offen . Probably because he got too far from Nick Cave . Greatest times Tabula Rasa

he said his children are half chinese. just curious how many children does he have? i thought he only had one daughter

I wish they also had some vocalists to do experiments with voice what they do with instruments, sadly Blixa has no skills for that

I can't believe I still haven't seen them

Fantastic interview!

Great !!! 🎉

Excellent interview. I love how you know your stuff

This was really great to watch - great interview with Mr. Yow, congrats! I got to see the band a week and half ago and they're still crushing it. Hope you get to see them on this new tour.

"Okay, right... right..."

Amazing interview.

I'd be starstruck too if I had the opportunity to spend time with David. Best frontman ever!

What is a European? German, Belgian, Ukrainian, Frenchman, Eritrean or someone else? What is the speech of a European? German, French, Ukrainian, English or Arabic? Just because, after the concert in some German cities they don't exactly applaud EN as expected(simply put), he should relegate his country to third place....Hmmm, and at the same time, EN always seemed so strongly "German" in all aspects to me. Including the "sharp" German that suits their music so well.

🙌🇧🇷

Really good interview. You could tell he started opening up more when he realized you knew what you were talking about in regards to his body of work. Nice job!

Great questions that I've never heard Steve being asked. ❤❤

I am seeing Neubauten in September. I love the band!

Another great interview! And love the tshirt 😁

This was a great interview, starting with what is current and not reaching into the past. Also interviewing an artist about their art and not smalltalk was very refreshing.

Before I go is just another masterpiece of en. To listen what Blixa has to say is always interesting. Thanks for the great inteview, mate

Hi, I'm Italian and can't wait for the Neubauten Milan gig on the 2nd of October. Blixa is a special man, very intelligent and eloquent. I love him with all of my heart and glad to hear that he grew up with Neu! and Can. Yeah, Neu! are divine, one of the best group in history. I saw Michael Rother this February in London and he's still kicking. Stefano

beautiful blixa

I would love to meet him one day!

It was an excellent exchange, A talented artist you kept fully engaged. Great interview.

Thank you for a very insightful exchange

USE TO SKATEBOARD TO BLACK FLAG....PUMP YOU UP SONGS...

That was a great interview.

Great informative interview. Thank you.

surprisingly deep and fun interview, just how all interviews should be! you are very knowledgeable and gave the whole conversation a brilliant structure, really enjoyed it!

Really interesting interview! Elvar, you're driving this with so much knowledge and understanding what makes the conversation flow so well. I'm also really happy that Einstürzende Neubauten will tour in Warsaw so I'll be able to see them live. The interview gives so much background to understand the creation process that it makes me even more eager to be there.

Im still in complete shock, thanks for a great interview.

What a horrible loss. A visionary and legend who spent a lifetime placing music and artists over what could instead have been immense financial gain. I listened to this long interview when it was posted about a month ago. Can’t believe the vibrant man talking with about his work and future plans is suddenly gone. The interview is wonderful. I’m glad it exists, if only to remind us of the void that won’t be filled.

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays in the end of the podcast? Thanks. By the way, great interview. You caught him on a good day, he doesn't usually give long interviews. I don't think he's got the patience for it. Nice one.

One of the most interesting, cultured and evolved musicians of his generation. Live a long life Blixa Bargeld, maybe one day I will visit Germany. So damn expensive though...

This is such a generous, detailed, and informative interview.

Bargeld - Pestalozzi Dass sich Blixa Bargeld mit Heinrich Pestalozzi ‘identifiziert’, wenn er seine Stimmungslage besingt, ist astrologisch bemerkenswert, als dass Blixa und Heinrich am selben Tag geboren sind (Blixa Bargeld: * 12. Januar 1959 / Heinrich Pestalozzi: * 12. Januar 1746).
