reise reise

listening to this album now. by rammstein. pretty good stuff. loved dalai lama. its a really dark song about the fear of flying (dalai lama has it...so the name!!). Check this site out http://herzeleid.com/
It has really good translated lyrics for all rammstein songs. It helps appreciating the depth of darkness to which these guys descend to. who could have guessed that the cheerleader type song 'moskau' from this album actually compares the city to a whore who reveals her beauty only if you pay (-:
also learnt that rammstein got their name from the town Ramstein which is a US airforce base in (former) west germany. what caught the fancy of these morons from the former east: it was the site of a horrible airshow disaster involving the US airforce leading to 80 deaths. i should have guessed as much.
in other news: the pope has called gay marriage evil. isnt he the same guy who "declared" in the 90s that the earth does indeed appear to suck. wait a minute...they just said they were wrong to punish galileo, not that they are wrong. helped me decide which side of the fence i am in.
