Hate to break it to you but Peter Murphy became a corporate shill decades ago (new window).

At least it isn't Scott Stapp doing "Woman is the N-word of the World" to sell Tampax.

How is Bauhaus? I recently heard the name from a buddy but havent heard anything by them?

Love and Rockets is better, but Bauhaus aren't bad.

FeedTheCollapse: Love and Rockets is better, but Bauhaus aren't bad.

Thanks ill throw them both on my list and keep my eyes peeled for bargains on my next trip to the record shop.

Love Mr. Murphy, but I wouldn't have realized that was him if it hadn't been noted...

look up the following Bauhaus videos on youtube:

"Bela Legosi's dead" [not the live version.... the studio version, preferrably from orig. vinyl]
their covers of "Ziggy Stardust" [video, not Rockpalast]
and "Telegram Sam".


/anybody else thinks he kinds of looks like a short haired Iggy Pop [with makeup on] a bit in "telegram sam" and "ziggy stardust" ?

Gunny Highway: How is Bauhaus? I recently heard the name from a buddy but havent heard anything by them?

whoa, depending on what you like, love & rockets could be better. start w/ bauhaus' in the flat field. i was a skater/punkmusicfan and loved bauhaus in high school. in the flat field is the only one that i still listen to more than once a year.
yeah, it is great

/but i wouldn't bother w/ any post bauhaus peter murphy material

Love and Rockets is definitely better, and ya Peter did a Maxell commercial years ago.

/Played little league in socal w/ one of Peter Murphy's nephews
//Never met the man unfortunately

I like the font Bauhaus.

Good for him. I hope he got paid a ton of dough.

it is driving me nuts that people keep saying love and rockets are def. better than bauhaus

Bella Lugosi needs a paycheck

I always chuckle at the song since I learned that there's a pr0n star called "Karma".

/Erm, I mean, someone told me, of course.

How unheard of that Peter Murphy would sell out so blatantly:



Oh. Well..

What? There's a VIDEO? (new window)

"How is Bauhaus?"

Depends on what you like. I like Bauhaus far more than Love & Rockets, but your mileage may vary. Bauhaus (especially the very early stuff) is a very dark, very creepy band. Go look up "In The Flat Field", "Bela Lugosi's Dead" or "Stigmata Martyr" on YouTube, & it'll give you a good idea of what the early stuff sounded like.

The album "In The Flat Field" is a classic.

Bauhaus is one of my favorite bands, actually. Some of Murphy's solo work is very good, too.

One of my favorite bits of rock trivia - and I still have the poster I swiped from the original Record Bar in Chapel Hill.

Thanks for the tip on the video!

Love and Rockets mentioned ...but not Tones on Tail. Tones is a MUCH better post Bauhaus band than L&R.

Dubwise: Love and Rockets mentioned ...but not Tones on Tail. Tones is a MUCH better post Bauhaus band than L&R.

And interestingly, their song "Go" is featured prominently in a Mercury car ad campaign. The album Tones on Tail cut is really good, though, and I still listen to it quite a bit. I was a HUGE Bauhaus/L&R/Peter Murphy fan growing up and still listen to a good bit of all of them. I really don't have a problem with this. They've all got to be pushing fifty, now, so if Murphy can cash a check crooning someone else's song in a commercial, it's fine by me. I do think it's funny when I hear kids who think it's their birthright to get music free off the internet biatch about a singer doing something that has a guaranteed paycheck.

I actually think the song is appropriate, but only because I believe Karma is going to catch up with all of the big banks for raping the taxpayer.

Wells Fargo charged me $7 to cash one of their own checks yesterday then they tried to talk me into opening an accout with them. I just said why would I open an account with you when you rip off the customers of your clients. If I write a check to someone I want to know that they are not going to get hit with a huge fee by my bank when they try to cash it.

konigsforst: /but i wouldn't bother w/ any post bauhaus peter murphy material

His solo stuff isn't Bauhaus, but it's still awesome. Recommended tracks: Cuts You Up, Cascade, Strange Kind of Love. Then move on to the trippy hit||miss stuff.

Crying themselves to sleep? What happened to slitting the wrists?

Nabb1

I agree...i have no problem with Peter using his talents to make money.

don't forget GO was sampled by that douche Moby for a song of the same title in the '90's.

I've always been particular to Marlene Dietrich's Favorite Poem. For the most part, his post Bauhaus stuff is great (IMHO).

This is kind of nifty: Murphy with Trent Reznor (new window)

approves.

\you know he was the first DJ to play their music in college, pally.

I'd add "Hit Song" to that list as well. Beautiful, soaring vocals.

/loves Bauhaus
//loves Peter Murphy
///L&R is hit or miss for me.

Dubwise: Love and Rockets mentioned ...but not Tones on Tail. Tones is a MUCH better post Bauhaus band than L&R.

Eh, Tones on Tail is okay. Some good stuff, but I don't really listen to their stuff often.


Pyynk: ///L&R is hit or miss for me.

I would say Express is probably their most consistent album. Everything else sounds like a compilation of songs rather than a whole piece of work.

LOVES me some "Cuts You Up"
and ""The Sweetest Drop"

Bauhaus is still one of my favorite bands ever, but I think it's a "had to be there" sort of thing. I don't know if people who haven't heard them until 2009 will quite get it, but you never know. Give it a shot.

I still love him. I don't care if he has done commercials.

/I will climb this high wall in remembrance of clancy.

Bubblemen ROCK.

Yoko better imagine there's no heaven, because if there is John's gonna kick her ass for selling him out for cash.

Awesome. I saw that commercial the other day and thought "the only good thing about this is the song." Now I know who signs it.

I'm glad to see no one is really upset by this.

I went to see him in Boston last June; it was an awesome show. The tickets were only $25, and I think there were maybe 100 people there.

Man's gotta eat.

hi. yup, i'm present.
I even posted [to Gunny Highway] before that post of yours

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Both bands sounds real cool and I cant wait to dive in an check out more.

Cheers Fark.

I saw him at the Filmore a few years back. Good show. He is a little artsy fartsy for me though.

Love and Rockets is COMPLETELY AWESOME. Check out "7th Dream of Teenage Heaven" or somthing, i forget the title atm.

And although some will say/complain that "Earth Sun Moon" is a "sell out" record, it's also full of win -- it has the track "no new tale to tell" on it.

I dig mostly early LR, it gets less interesting, to me, the more 'electronic' they get, such as on "Lift." If you're into eletronic/dub, though, you should check it out. I am into that stuff, but that's not what made me like LR.

Enjoy your "new" music

/+1 to that guy who submitted the link to the Polysics
//you get TWO internets

With the way the economy is going on right now, they should've just chosen Peter Murphy's song "Cuts You Up"

Is it me, or has no one commented on the irony of using "Instant Karma" in this ad? Instant Karma's gonna get you? Join the human race? Isn't that the type of advice the banks should be heeding right now?

As for Bauhaus v. Love & Rockets? I dunno, it's kind of like, say, Stones v. Beatles. Do you like your music poppy or darker? I was always more of a Bauhaus man back in the day, but I don't really listen to either band much anymore.

"Strange Kind of Love"? To this day, whenever I listen to that song, I think it sounds like Peter Murphy channeling Neil Diamond.

Dang, you'd never know that was Peter Murphy. An interesting choice of song title for a bank commercial tho.

"Double Dare" is my fav. Bauhaus tune.

"Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven" is the correct title.
Also be sure to listen to "Haunted When the Minutes Drag" which is topical because Trent and Peter do a quasi-cover of it in that "Reptile" video linked somewhere upthread.

konigsforst: it is driving me nuts that people keep saying love and rockets are def. better than bauhaus

Yeah, everybody knows that Tones on Tail was the better spin-off.
