Blixa Bargeld is cooking risotto

cheese...

[@iainnb]

close your eyes and listen closely to the spoon hitting the pan, this is actually a neubauten song

[@BaddaBigBoom]

Einstürzende Neukochtopf!

[@nafdar6]

😂

[@poisonguerra]

Caramba!!! Sim!

[@1975hexene]

Notice how Blixa pauses when asked what memories or events risotto awakens. Clearly, this is a man tortured by a brothy, rice dish-filled past.

[@Sarah-oj7bh]

He has such a polite way of sidestepping the question.

[@carinearoyan3825]

I am laughing like an idiot 9 years after you made this comment. Thank you :)

[@RayZappa]

there's not a grain of truth to those rice rumours

Tabula Rissoto

[@floriandel]

Cooking some black risotto on german television - Blixa Bargeld is clearly the king of Goth,

[@simondavis750]

Its weird though, I never pictured Blixa having to eat. I always assumed he drew sustenance from the screaming chaos of the universe and used it as fuel to make sounds no mortal can fully comprehend.

[@thunder_heads]

He makes cooking videos on patreon

[@lindsaywheelock9239]

Blixa points out 2 important, lesser known rules: 1:Risotto must match your outfit. 2: Always place the un-engaged hand in your pocket while stirring.

[@emptysresponse]

HAHA. Gold!

Cooking black food, waring a sharp suit and keeping one hand in your pocket: COOL.

[@bawbomb]

i couldnt even focus on the subtitles because blixa's so cute

[@BallooneyToons]

Ya know Blixa made it big time when we watch him cook risotto

[@stobbi38]

Yeah, it's like that video of Paul McCartney making mashed potatoes

[@Chainsawctopus]

that's some seriously goth risotto, blixa. nice. god, you are hot.

[@sportsfreundberlin]

you misinterpret

[@Chainsawctopus]

sportsfreundberlin wie so?

[@bbanzai444]

Just stumbled across this. Just wanted to say that this, alone, a justifies the existence of the internet...

[@noracf]

The video of David Lynch making quinoa sent me here. I hope there's one of John Balance making gingerbread up next.

[@fotoautomatmusic]

I saw that a Cpl weeks back, so fucking funny. Then I stumbled on this today and thought - wtf - is there some underground cooking channel going on I should know about...

[@ladyi7609]

If I ever find a video of Peter Murphy making a tagine or shawarma, that would round off the playlist just perfectly.

[@CrushOnPixels]

This is the most rock n' roll cooking program I have ever seen.

[@annade4532]

I notice that so many people developed quite an obsession for this man, I wonder what he's thinking about it. there's some vanity in him, I can feel it, but also some humbleness

[@PolarBear-rc4ks]

I mean that's just people tbf. We all obsess over something, whether it's a person or thing!

[@AM-sw9di]

He's quite egocentric and can come across as arrogant, and cares a lot about how others see him, although I really think it's a cover for shyness and anxiety. Usually he's quite defensive in interviews, but he rarely holds eye contact and I think he finds small talk or shallow subjects quite tedious stressful. I used to be absolutely obsessed with him, though years later I've gotten back into his music and watching interviews, he's an interesting person who thinks a lot about stuff to the point where it can sound a bit abstract or detached from reality, but I think he's an interesting person. I noticed here the chef was very gentle, and I didn't see that usual defensiveness at all here which sort of backs up my theory that he is actually very shy or socially anxious.

[@tinkaward6921]

@@AM-sw9di That was one of Alfred Biolek's great strengths: he always adjusted to the person he was talking to, gave him his space and was courteous and polite.

[@PatientenO.T.]

He’s worth the devotion. He’s one of the great musicians of our age. He is extremely kind and open with his fans as well since he’s matured.

[@joachimdubischar2701]

​@@AM-sw9dilol no, my best friends aunt was affiliated with the neubauten and blixa was a huge asshole, he doesnt just come off as egocentric and arrogant, he is the epitomy of ego and arrogance also fuck insecurities, without insecurities there arent any securities either, if anyone was truly free psychologically they would just dissolve lol

[@nanetteroeland7847]

I watched Blixa Bargeld play amplified power tools in the desert. His talent and depth is mesmerizing.

[@strange.fields]

the luckiest calamari that ever lived

[@Becky81]

They absolutely need to do a whole series. Even 20 years or so later. And they should of course only be allowed to cook black coloured food.

Blixa you can cook in my kitchen anyday.

" im black all over, thank you" i say the same thing whenever i finish a neubauten song

Cooking with Blixa Bargeld is one of th coolest things!

[@crapitoutjim]

I remember watching this episode with Blixa and Alfred when I lived in Munich in the 90s. Biolek was a fantastic cook and host. Thanks for posting.

[@keineahnung5466]

Yes me too, I found Biolek cooking actually dull, but the show with Blixa was great. But you must not forget what Biolek has done such great things in his life, Monty Python in German, etc..

[@KeepMinskWeird]

I dunno how many times I've watched this one.

Blixa truly is a sweet man.

i love the shit they talk about in this video i didnt realize it when i first watched this but i've taken a lot of this shit to heart since for one thing, dont press garlic yr gonna saute (he's entirely right about this), but more importantly, understanding how memory plays into "taste" (in almost every sense of the word) is incredibly important prepping a meal with blixa bargeld would be a fucking fantastic experience imo

Great! This somehow reminded me of the wine tasting webcast Neubauten did which eventually became the 8th Musterhaus. Blixa is definitely a foodie and a wine buff as am I. Now I want to cook something.

[@cowboystitching]

Always wanted to see this, thanks!

Wow! When was this shot? It's amazing to see Blixa cooking. I love the tone and timber of his voice when he's talking about food and cooking here.

[@davidweston9115]

OK, I've now decided, he's even more beautiful than David Bowie in the life on mars video. That makes him prettiest man who ever lived bar my father. I wish he hadn't gained so much weight in his old age, because it's a health liability; I worry about him.

[@juliansilva528]

dat voice tho.

[@Αριάδνη-φ8ρ]

Yes but can someone explain me why was he cooking risotto in a tv program?

[@Sarah-oj7bh]

It's a show from the 90s where the host used to cook and talk with celebrities. Quite successful at the time.

[@PatientenO.T.]

Because he could. He was already an accomplished cook at this young age.

[@sciencemaners]

He hardly seems bored (at least not in German).

[@sergwiesen8563]

Well then obviously you never saw Klaus Nomi make his desserts (I am a bigger fan of Blix but, it was just so surreal watching Nomi showing off the desserts he made, while in full makeup).

[@ladyi7609]

labotamysausagedog Klaus Nomi was a successful baker before getting into the music business, though. He was "discovered" when his reputation for singing beautifully as he baked became widespread.
