This episode picks up with our review of 'Hypothetical'... and it all goes off the rails from that point! :)

New album from Richard Kruspe and Emigrate can only mean one thing... EXTRA LONG ALBUM REVIEW EPISODE from us!

This is the first of a 2 part episode with a special guest commentator. We go through every song on the album and discuss them. As always, our chat ranges far including: space, Bowie references (gratuitous and legit), sex (of course...and for once it isn't Ginger's fault!), the meanings of life and the pursuit of happiness... with a fair bit of silliness thrown in for good measure.

So grab a snack and a glass of something delicious and settle in for the crazy!

We were SOOOO excited to do this video analysis, because the video imagery really took us for a mental ride on an emotional roller coaster. As always, we had LOTS of thoughts and feelings related to the video and imagery -- and absolutely had to unpack the concept of the ephemeral nature of time, dealing with one's past, present and future...and just what is the deal with the man in the hat.

It's all discussed here! Including: More discussion of the editing and visuals, Richard's spikey nails (which fascinate Ginger more than is probably healthy),  Vampire!Reesh vibes, and multiple theories on temporal shifting and time travel.

So it seems our favourite guitarist decided to gift his fandom with a music video for I'm Still Alive! Since he took the trouble to drop such a delicious morsel in our laps without much warning, it's only fair that we drop everything to dig into the lyrics and analyze the video in a special TWO PART, mega episode!

In this part you will find: shoutouts to Terry Matlin & David Gesselbauer... the two of us falling down multiple lyrical rabbit holes... some religious and spiritual theoretical posturing... and yes, for those of you who have been filling my inbox with questions about sexual innuendo -- we discuss those too! Fasten your seat belts kiddies -- this ride is about to get bumpy as we discuss the intricacies of life and the fun of dealing with one's past, present and future.

This episode unpacks all of the imagery from the fantastic new Emigrate video for You Can't Run Away! As always we cover LOTS of topics, but this video has soooo much to talk about. While it appears to have a bunch of unrelated images, we have found what we think is a really great linkage between all of the images AND the theme of the song (talking someone through a mental health crisis).

Note: this episode includes mentions of suicide and mental health crisis. If this may trigger you negatively, listener discretion is advised.

This time on the podcast, we’ve done a two-part analysis on the lyrics of and music video for the new Emigrate song -- “You Can’t Run Away.”

Angel drew an inspiration from her college psychology classes that wraps all the seemingly unrelated imagery up in a nice little Freudian bow, Ginger pulled from her literary background, we largely agree, and yet still manage to…bicker like an old married couple?

(Note: These episodes contain potentially triggering, discussion of mental illness/depression/suicide. Listener discretion advised.)

This week we deviate from our planned episode to drop into our comfort zone and talk about Hide & Seek from Emigrate.

This episode includes our usual level of over-analysis, as well as Ginger geeking out about performing fandom and theories of fandom and social media... then Angel goes on a rant about fans stalking performers for photos. So basically, in amongst some hardcore analysis, we go off in the usual way.

Here's part 2 of our special double-return episode. This episode features a range topics including: Flake's podcast, the many adventures of Till during 'lockdown', and various bits and pieces about Richard and Christoph. So you know... the usual rambling and bickering. Come along on our road trip!

Listen in as we get lost while Ginger is looking for Dick Street (no joke...that is the name), and hear a behind-the-scenes view of just how ridiculous we are when we are together, without 'real' adult supervision!

Wir sind wieder da! We're back...and since things are moving in the Rammstein fandom, so are we! This is the first part of our 'Pandemic Return' episode featuring a wild ride through a bunch of Rammstein topics including: The Tour Postponement (not like it was a surprise), Emigrate, Richard's 'new' Facebook, social media and the Rammstein fandom in general, and a bunch of other ridiculousness. So, come along for the ride -- and be sure to check the outtakes to find out what we are REALLY like behind the scenes as we get lost in the middle of an unfamiliar city while looking for Dick Street (no joke...that is actually the street name!).
