Though some may not necessarily appreciate being hectored in German for six minutes by Willem Defoe hiding under Bono’s mid-’80s shag ‘do, this sparsely funky live performance of “Yu-Gung” by mechanical men Einsturzende Neubauten does make me hope that the next step in dance-rock retro involves indie kids getting on the good foot by hammering away at bed frames and sheet metal. Next thing you know I’m gonna be searching out Digital Hardcore videos to continue the stern Teuton party. A slippery slope! [YouTube]
