Auf Deutsch, bitte!

So, I'm still at German summer school because I decided to stay for the second three weeks! I'm enjoying it much more than I was expecting, which is good and it's doing me the world of good for my German! I can now mock people in two languages ;) I get on really well with the teacher, so that's good (She's nuts! It's great!)

Am still really busy! It's four hours of classes in the morning, then most afternoons there's more mini-seminars/workshops (Phonetics! DDR!) and other activities! So, I am so behind on... well, everything!

Although while I'm here, I have a huge, huge favour to ask! We're supposed to bring German music to class and I haven't yet and I... don't have any and have no idea where to go to find some! A long shot, but if anyone has any that they are able to upload, or any ideas and can point me in the right direction (something that I can get from behind a school firewall!) then I would be eternally grateful. At the moment, the only thing I've got is Bach or Beethoven or something else classical and very German - but obviously without German language involved! I'm pretty certain that's not what I'm supposed to bring!

Tokio Hote are a geman band, I can upload their album in both english and german so you can look at how they changed the wording (if they did I dont know!)?

[vicki595.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome if you could, thank you! *huggles*

(How have you been? It's been ages and I totally suck at long distance contact apparently!)

If you unlock your post, I'll ask the Germans on my friendslist to come over and help out!

[vicki595.livejournal.com]

[havocthecat]

I mostly know the Christmas Stuff: O Tannenbaum, and Stille Nacht. Some of the lieder like Der Erl Konig (by Shubert) are cool.

Oh God, NO Tokio Hotel, PLEASE!

Anyway... I can't tell you about places to go (other than those where youn have to pay money like amazon.de and musicload.de that is) since I'm not my dad ;) But I give you the names of my favorite German bands:

Wir sind Helden - I love their lyrics because they need some thinking to actually understand them. Some songs I really like (YouTube links... hope your Firewall likes YouTube...): Aurelie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dPPBhttrpA), Denkmal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGcBkrJPfok) and Kaputt (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hDHit3EBNs).

Sportfreunde Stiller - They ROCK! Three examples: Ein Kompliment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2QHnN-Ynkk), '54 '74 '90 2010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV0TOtf2LfM) and Siehst du das genauso (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSNekuuPr4k).

Die Ärzte - There's no word for how MUCH Die Ärzte rock. Examples: Ein Schwein namens Männer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DJ0Inxfmyk), Schrei nach Liebe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmJUtQeiQzA), Lasse reden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVlDiNmsL3E).

Fettes Brot - some real good old school German rap, not that new crap. Examples: Jein (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BXf0u2a-U4), Nordisch by nature (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7nPmn3soiM), Emmanuela (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faD3B7Ya9Nk&feature=related).

Annett Louisan - interesting voice, great lyrics. Examples: Das Spiel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3gWmMJ5cO4), Chancenlos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5VQb1KDu0U), Eve (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ9DYPuFlBM).

And a few other great songs I really like:

Virginia Jetzt! - Wahre Liebe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOU31KC80Dc&feature=fvst)

Tele - Bye, bye Berlin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR7N444hTUE)

Nepper Schlepper Schlechte Rapper - Sommer in Berlin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU83C0djtu4)

And some classics:

Klaus Lage - Faust auf Faust (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8GP43owLkI)

Klaus Lage - Zoom (1000 mal berührt) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrbNKOeIlLY)

Eh... someone got a little carried away here... and all to prevent you having to deal with Tokio Hotel ;) *shudders

Oh, oh, oh, and Rainald Grebe & die Kapelle der Versöhnung! But maybe you need to be German to actually understand why these songs are so funny:

1968 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1iw2c9CS14)

Thüringen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4gCkWjS7CE)

Brandenburg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzOTMXroAr0)

Die Ärzte

Juli

Silbermond

Rosenstolz

Wir Sind Helden

Annett Louisan

I unfortunately don't have my music with me at the moment or I would upload some stuff :/

Argh, forgot that in my last two posts (I know I'm a bloody nuisance...) but since you mentioned you had DDR as a topic on your curriculum, maybe some DDR rock/pop as well:

Thomas Natschinsky und Gruppe - In der Mokkamilcheisbar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjnxMfJUd2Y) (cover version, though)

Nina Hagen - Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyeO54F_c_8)

Ute Freudenberg - Jugendliebe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lezf12OB1c)

Karrussell - Als ich fortging (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saH2TpGBmuU)

Sonia Schmidt - Ein himmelblauer Trabant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukhZtKDVgJ4)

Die Puhdys - Wenn ein Mensch lebt (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJb4QIwh6Qg)

Hannes Wader - Es ist an der Zeit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsWOLMpVUAg) (not really a DDR song and actually the German version of an old Irish song but widely known in East German as well... and I always have to cry listening to it :S)

Ich habe viele Lieder auf deutsch, die ich bei einem Symposium bekommen habe. Meine Lieblingslieder--besonders fürs Unterricht--sind "Ohne Dich" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuQ5TokPHI4) von Rolf Zuchowski (besonders gut fürs Konjunktiv) und "Mein Berlin" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIZAHHPdVSM) von Reinhard Mey (lyrics (http://www.lyricsdownload.com/reinhard-mey-mein-berlin-lyrics.html)).

Hoffentlich hilft das Dir!
