Sounds like Till completely redid his vocals for the track.

Interesting choice for a remix. I'd assume Altes Fleisch, Zunge or Alles Für die Kinder before Übers Meer. I wonder if Burak Yeter chose it, or did Till suggest it.

[Erneuert]

Really weird remix for such a poignant song. Single with radio edit and extended mix is on Apple Music.

[WingWalker]

Someone on Reddit called it Übers Meh.

The image makes me think this was Till's tribute to Major Tom.

Till's full eel tattoo.

To go from zero tattoos his entire career, to a few small ones on his fingers, to that size, is so typically Till.

The most important question - what in the actual hell is he wearing? Paisley, on the Arsch of the Herr der Dunkelheit??

Without watching again, I remember it looking like cute women’s pyjama pants, lol.

He’s at that age where he can put on a pair of pink slippers and not give a shit. Hell, I do it at 35.

Till's released an art book. €3000, handmade, limited to 99 copies. All poems he's released before in other volumes, but there's also an additional little book he wrote and illustrated for his grandson Fritz.

The book does look beautiful. I'd love to get my hands on that Japanese paper. And it's good to see the usual images of faces, vulvas and satyrs with erect penises done by someone other than Matthias Matthies.

Out of curiosity I bought Drepper & Kampf's "Row 0" book. So far it's much as I'd assumed it would be - rehashing the same accounts of Lynn and another TL accuser, a bit on how Makeeva operates, and a lot on groupie culture and misogyny in European rock & rap industry. The most interesting parts are what's been omitted - no mention of Anar Reiband, Alex Becker and Danny Uhlmann (though Joe Letz is cited several times); Anna Yakina's comments about Makeeva are also not cited. No reference to the 15 year-old Till allegedly had an affair with (though it was in Der Spiegel). Pamela Des Barre's "I'm With the Band" was also been mentioned, and Lori Mattix & Sable Starr. A few interesting things but really nothing in depth. The book feels as though it was rushed to publication. However I'm reading an English translation so might be missing the German nuances.

Would be quite interested to get @dlb 's opinion on the book.

[dlb]

I initially gave the book a wide berth because a) it was published too early and reminded me of sensationalism and b) Drepper describes himself as an investigative journalist. I would like to read a book on the subject of abuse of power in the music industry that is not only investigative but also well-founded, that goes far into history and deep into the market. I haven't had that impression of this book so far and the reviews also suggested that it only collects but does not research and describe in depth. Should I read it anyway, @WingWalker ?

[WingWalker]

@dlb Yes, it's worth at least a glance through at a bookstore.

The first three sections are the Lindemann accusation and a little on how Makeeva worked; to be honest it reads much like a Wikipedia summary of events. The better discussion starts from chapter "Tsunami" onward, there's discussion of groupies and incidents in the rock and especially rap cultures. There are also interviews with female music business professionals (American and German) citing sexual harassment and lack of support by employers. The final chapter "Krass Verliebt" returns to the Lindemann case and how such accusations are viewed under German law. As I said, I read an English translation and subtle points may have been lost.

So in July Till's tattoo artist will be auctioning off one of the needles used during the eel tattoo.

Did we all know that Danny Lohner is playing with Till on this tour?

Danny's been working with Lindemann since 2023. He was recommended by Joe Letz.

[fillow]

Yep, we knew. Danny is back in touring world after almost two decades in hiding. He was on Billy Howerdel's solo tour and then immediately jumped to Lindemann

Übers Meer video coming. Featuring… eels.

Is it just me, or do these two remixes sound rather...amateurish? As in the piano was playing and someone decided to put on an isolated vocal track in the backround? I've listened on Spotify and the vocal is definitely low. I was hoping for something along the line of Olafur Arnald's exquisite instrumental of Zeit.

The artwork made me think Till really is playing Major Tom, but then I got a flashback to the Frau & Mann video. Tägtgren was the one wearing the spacesuit, now it's Till. Is Lindemann sending an I Miss You message to his friend?

TBH I’ve felt the whole Zunge self-release has been a bit tacky. Typos/misspellings on the physical version. Ever since it came out it has felt very “DIY”. Not all of it, but it just feels like it has lacked the quality of usual Rammstein/Emigrate/Till releases.

[WingWalker]

Well, you did get a flesh pillow from the special edition!

Till's solo products do seem to have more quality issues than Rammstein's. The Ich hasse Kinder video misspelled "Mocsow", the Lindemann Live in Moscow booklet text was the same paragraph in Russian repeated four times, whatever the hell Till the End was, and so on.

[WingWalker]

That was impressive, the best of Zoran's work in quite a while. And it suits the song well.

[Erneuert]

The callback to the Knebel video was sweet. Who was the dedication to at the end?

[WingWalker]

Thomas Rothe, a big R+ supporter throughout their career and friend to all, especially Till & Richard. They dedicated Ohne Dich to him during a show in 2019, Emigrate's I'm Still Alive is also dedicated to him (and Rothe is in the video) and his death may have inspired Zeit and Adieu.

Oh, that guy? Wow he must have meant a lot to the band. Lots of dedications.
