This week we take another trip through German history with Rammstein's newest single and video for Radio.
Highlights include:
Us cheering for Joern Heitmann -- we love his work and the performances he gets out of the Rammstein guys, so it's great to see him working with them again
Listening to music as a subversive activity
Government control of music (kind of like controlling the 'spice'...control the music and you control the people... yeah, it's a bad 'Dune' reference... we're geeks...it happens)
The link between sex and music
Sex as a subversive activity in authoritarian regimes
The art-deco/retro aesthetic that keeps appearing in new videos and photos for the upcoming Rammstein album (and that freaking awesome stage design!)
What's up with the dancing military/police forces??
And we answer the question... can there be nudity and sexual references in a Rammstein video that are not just obligatory 'sex in rock music' references
