  6. "Working on the Highway" is a 1984 song written and performed by #BruceSpringsteen. It was released on the album #BornInTheUSA and has remained a popular concert song for Springsteen and the #EStreetBand. As with some of the other songs on the Born in the U.S.A. album, including "Downbound Train" and #theTitleTrack, "Working on the Highway" was originally recorded on January 3, 1982, with the demo tracks that eventually became the #Nebraska album.

  7. Darren Aronofsky – „The Whale“ (2022)

    Jetzt mal ehrlich: Dieser Film war ein Monster. Auch wenn es „nur“ drei Oscars dafür gab, hat dieses kleine Kammerspiel für mich 22/23 die Saison als größte Überraschung dominiert. Es war schlicht unglaublich, was Darren Arronofsky und Brendan Fraser aus einem Theaterstück extrahiert und gemeinsam auf die Leinwand gebracht haben. (ARD, Wh.)

  8. Schuster, bleib bei deinen Leisten
    Coverversionen sind ja meiner Ansicht nach immer eine Gratwanderung. Entweder das gecoverte Stück bekommt einen eigenen Charakter, am besten passend zum Interpreten, oder es ist eine mehr oder weniger heftige Qual für die Ohren.
    Bruce Springsteen hat sich an ein ganzes Album voller Coverversionen gewagt, und ich fürchte, Only The Strong Survive war nicht die beste seiner Ideen.
    Stellt euch folgendes Szenario vor: Wir befinden uns in Las Vegas, das Etablissement nennt sich irgendwas mit „Palace“ und liegt am dunkleren Rand der Stadt, irgendwo in einer kleinen, staubigen, uninteressanten Nebengasse. Im Publikum sitzen weißhaarige, mindestens 65 Jahre alte Damen in ihren besten Kleidern vor billigem Wein und schauen mit glänzenden Augen auf den Mann, der auf der Bühne verzweifelt sein bestes gibt, in der Gewissheit, dass er seinen Zenit schon seit Jahren hinter sich gelassen hat. Aber das Haus, das Auto, die Versicherungen und, und, und müssen ja bezahlt werden, und die Rente reicht hinten und vorne nicht.
    Mein Lieblingsstück von diesem Album, wenn ich denn eines nennen sollte, ist
    Nightshift, denn hier erkennt man den Boss, den wir von Born in the USA kennen, mit seiner rauen Stimme, mit der er dem Lied seinen ganz eigenen Stempel aufdrückt. Der Rest ist seichte Schlagermusik, die weder zu seinem Image, noch zu seiner Stimme passt.
    Wenn man seine Alben wie eben
    Born in the USA oder auch Letter to You kennt, tut einem Only The Strong Survive echt leid.

  9. Protest songs at Nationals Park

    It’s been less than 14 years since I last saw Bruce Springsteen play a concert at Nationals Park, but it feels like decades have passed since those innocent days of 2012. The nation and the world have changed in unpleasant and unsettling ways, those years have left their wear on me… and somehow the Boss barely seems to have aged.

    Springsteen’s music, however, resonated in new ways Wednesday night against the backdrop of the second Trump administration’s cruelty, corruption and crime–and Springsteen’s up-to-the-minute denunciations of it, including commentary on this week’s abuses of power at ICE’s Delaney Hall prison outside Newark.

    So “No Surrender,” released in 1984 on an album I got on tape, sounded very much of 2026’s moment in this setting. As Springsteen said towards the end of the night: “No one is coming to save us. So we have to do it ourselves.”

    Likewise, the angry words in “The Promised Land” about being lied to (about what exactly is left to the listener’s imagination) hit in a way they hadn’t before when Springsteen and the E Street Band lit into that 1978 release right after “Streets of Minneapolis”–the song he wrote in January after government agents shot and killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti on those frozen streets.

    That reminder of the crimes committed by Trump’s Department of Homeland Security then made “American Skin (41 Shots)” more arresting than before. People in the Twin Cities probably have some words about how in Trump 2.0’s thuggish version of the United States, you can get killed just for living in your American skin.

    A cover of the Clash’s “Clampdown” on which Springsteen and Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello took turns on vocals itself picked up a little new relevance when heard in a neighborhood that has picked up a reputation, maybe undeserved, as a Republican hangout. As Mick Jones and Joe Strummer wrote in the late 1970s: “No man born with a living soul / can be working for the clampdown.”

    Hearing “Youngstown” later in the set, I had to think the protagonist would have voted for Trump three times in a row. Would that embittered man be rethinking those choices now that Trump’s promises to renew industrial America have proved as empty as his pledges to most people besides January 6 insurrectionists? Or would he still be looking for somebody to blame?

    When many other boldface names in American society keep pretending that this administration is just another presidency, Springsteen is calling out Trump’s regime with the vocabulary it deserves. That is called honesty, and it’s only one of the reasons why his work keeps speaking to me more than four decades after I started listening to it.

  10. "Freeway of Love" is a song by American singer #ArethaFranklin. It was written by #JeffreyCohen and #NaradaMichaelWalden and produced by the latter for Franklin's thirtieth studio album, #WhosZoominWho (1985). The song features a notable contribution from #ClarenceClemons, the saxophonist from #BruceSpringsteen’'s #EStreetBand. #Sylvester, #MarthaWash, and #JeanieTracy provided backup vocals on "Freeway of Love". Released as the album's lead single on June 5, 1985.

  16. Video cube “Auf Schalke”

    June 2025

    This picture was made before a concert by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band at the Schalke Arena.
    During the concert, a metal part fell from this cube into the audience.
    A few rock fans suffered minor injuries.

    Apart from that, the concert was great – like all Boss concerts I've seen so far (and there have been quite a few).

  17. Geese – Getting Killed [Things You Might Have Missed 2025]

    By Dear Hollow

    When a non-metal album is this good, the Great Ape mandates that we write about it – it’s unclear if it’s for posterity or humiliation. But when you have a band called Geese, the latter seems more likely. New York City fowl collective owe just as much of their attack to Bruce Springsteen and Television as to Swans and The Velvet Underground, as its drawling and honkin’ blend of roots rock, noise rock, blues, country, funk, and post-punk is a clusterfuck that feels distinctly like something a band called Geese would make. Mastermind Cameron Winter’s warbling drawls, Emily Green’s smooth bluesy plucking and jagged shutters, Dominic Digesu’s groovy bass undercurrent, and Max Bassin’s rock-solid drumming collide – all in the service of the sonic incarnation of the uncanny. Geese offers another slab of rock’s fringe movements that builds upon critically acclaimed predecessor 4D Country. Like its cover, Getting Killed is both angelic and violent, smooth and jagged – and undeniably American.

    While its openers serve to showcase Geese’s two extreme sides in explosively screamy noise rock (“Trinidad”1) and bluesy pop-country (“Cobra”), the uncanniness of Getting Killed is much more nuanced. Beneath each guitar riff and yearning melody, just as much with its more jagged movements, is a dedication to deterioration. Most tracks begin with a solid funk groove or a predictable chord progression, an undercurrent of dissolution growing over the course of its three-to-six minutes. Unlike the improvised randomness so many artists claim as a reflection of group chemistry, Geese’s movements feel calculated to the minutest detail in the service of a parodied and uncanny version of rock music, such as maddeningly repetitive riffs (“Husbands,” “Islands of Man,” “100 Horses”), repetitive cliche lyrics drawled with irony and apathy (“Cobra,” “Half Real”), and splattered movements guided by heart and hate (“Trinidad,” “Getting Killed”).

    The blend of tones that exist here is noteworthy, as the sunny country, groovy punk, and jagged noise movements feel anachronistic on paper yet somehow feel exactly what Geese ought to be doing. Noisier tracks move seamlessly into the more melodic and vice versa (the brooding “100 Horses” to the ethereal “Half Real”; the smooth ballad “Au Pays du Cocaine” to the chaotic and arrhythmic “Bow Down” and explosive “Taxes”), highlighting the intentionality behind the curtain of Getting Killed. Winter’s vocals are initially jarringly loud and off-kilter, but just as the twinkling quality that emerges from asynchronous guitar/piano noodles (“Getting Killed,” “Islands of Man”) or the brass emerges in short bursts like gusts of wind (“Trinidad,” “Husbands”), the drawling baritone stumbles upon vocal lines that get seared into the mind, catchy and seamless in their delivery – although initially feared lazy (“Cobra,” “Half Real,” “Long Island City Here I Come”). Geese, while embodying much more than just noise rock, nonetheless captures lightning in the bottle with its layers of intensity giving way to an uncanny catchiness.

    Geese’s more intense moments recall the noise rock/post-punk misanthropy of White Suns or the quirky squonks of Black Midi, but its uncanny country twang recalls the clouded and colloquial conversations of Mark Z. Danielewski’s book Tom’s Crossing: yes, it’s a western, but a caricature of it with a bleak heart beating at its core. Geese embodies rock’s most extreme peripheries in a breed of music that is as alienating as it is catchy, unique and on-brand for a band whose caliber of sound feels uncanny, otherworldly, and delightfully apeshit. Sure, it ain’t metal, but Geese offers some of the most intriguing music of the year regardless.

    Tracks to Check Out: “Trinidad,” “Cobra,” “Getting Killed,” “100 Horses,” “Long Island City Here I Come”2
