Was a wonderful time... Einsturzende, The Bad Seeds, Lydia Lunch... gosh was that a good time to be alive

[@squiremuldoon5462]

Lydia lunch was just lucky to be there.

Halber Mensch... Nostalgia. How I loooved to discover that absolutely fabulous band and bunch of personalities. Today I have a sense of walking through a long cultural desert for the last 20 years

He speaks lovely English

[@alphabet_soup123]

I think you can hear an Australian influence on his accent... but then, I'm Australian, so perhaps I am biased

[@nansenscat9315]

S Stevens I thought the same thing. Especially at 0:48 to 0:55.

@@alphabet_soup123 No surpise. He played in Nick Cave's band.

[@growskull]

​@@alphabet_soup123 he probably picked up alot from nick cave

[@Ben-nx7yy]

He had quite a big ego but he is conscious of it

[@Laurenist_einbischen_bizzare]

For some reason it's actually hot

[@dankofanz]

Brilliant! Thank you for uploading this.

Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers 🤣

[@maxinemckenzie5765]

poor wee interviewer's out of her depth, but Blixa does his best to meet her half way, without compromising the truth as he see's it. That's Cool.

[@superdave354]

He's a genius in the music field and I barely got to know him

[@darylcumming7119]

Time capsule.

[@natashagascon5588]

Relatable.

1:50 - 1:56 lol

[@DaHatBat]

[@KeepMinskWeird]

@@DaHatBat when you're in such a good mood your irony may turn out to be real :D

[@jonathansutcliffe3401]

love and discipline...hey up!!! what's all this...? sounds familiar... blixa is ace.... i have my own ego-centric system... we should start up a friendly society...

[@prokesuk]

I understand him better than her

[@xzchc]

Na, da wäre ich aber mal sehr gespannt, was passieren würde, wenn sich jetzt eine x-beliebige Band Einstürzende Neubauten nennen (und selbstverständlich ihr ganz eigenes Ding machen) würde.

[@edwardwhite9266]

einstuzrde neubuten. good morning and yes I love you too I can always come back to you and miss the other for a great time with you and you are ☺️ doggy and have a few

[@lovemuse2288]

is that Jeff Buckley in the music video with Blixa?

[@ThomasNimmesgern]

Kleiner Scherz an dieser Stelle: Warum spielte Blixa Bargeld bei den Einstürzenden Neubauten? Ich nehme an, sie waren jung und brauchten das Geld.

[@katiebates6134]

Blixas eyes are all over the place!😆

[@evelynzlon9492]

Some reputable scientist theorized that Da Vinci could only have painted the Mona Lisa while looking AWAY from it. That's a physical impossibility unless you consider that we have 2 eyes. One of m'man's eyes could've been looking at the canvas while the other one looked away. We already know Blixa is a vampire with artistic talent so...

[@evelynzlon9492]

The Mona Lisa is the image of the diabolical beast from the sea discussed in Revelations, btw. It's a difficult thing to come to terms with, that dude is the friggin' Devil.

[@evelynzlon9492]

Blixa's identity as Satan is particularly heart wrenching bein' as how he's my great-great-great grandpa from a previous alias. They say these Devil-men are secretly cannibals. As a baby I used to bite my mother's nipple while breastfeeding. Now I compulsively chew on my own writer's bump. Now I know where I get it from. Except in very diluted portions, this DNA is SO cute. It's absolutely ADORABLE to bite your mother's nipple while breastfeeding. Et cetera.

[@evelynzlon9492]

Bismarck once presided over the entire international African colonial system. He has to do with this episode of the Twilight Zone where a former "Queen of the Nile" is really a vampire-turned-actress who plays herself in films. Get this: the Mona Lisa is alternatively named La Giaconda, which is Italian for jocund. The actress who plays the Queen of the Nile starring as herself in that Twilight Zone episode was named Ann Blyth. Gotta love 'im.

[@evelynzlon9492]

Blixa is stylistically German in many ways, but there's stealth Mediterranean influence in his mastery of FEELINGS. He knows most all there is to know about FEELINGS. And this was my undoing, for his siren song for me was about these feelings. Love is a losing game. Blixa acknowledged that love is a losing game. This in turn made me love him: a losing game. Of course only the Devil would play this wicked game. He is. I played the Devil's wicked game.

[@z0h33y]

1:50 is like an Ayn Rand moment.
