RAAB Radio #50: The German Super(wo)man
Schnaddadeng, I’m on a German kick! For your enjoyment, I present to you: a new installment of Ribbon Around a Bomb radio, featuring 2 hours of frauen-fronted German-language punk and post-punk.
Look at that, I finally figured out how to embed the podcast. (Thanks, Ferrara!) Of course, if you prefer to skip around- hey, I certainly wouldn’t want to listen to all 2 hours straight- you can still download the damn thing over at Radio Valencia.
[Gudrun Gut and Bettina Köster of Malaria! and Mania D.]
Things to expect: Good songs, drunkenness, Hitler jokes, awkward interruptions. Suffering through the Schnapps-fueled talking parts with DJ Frau Gefahrlich and I is so-so-worth-it for the fantastic music you’ll hear.
