Hmmmm… maybe its the ascot …

Bruce in Philly
He’s been listening to too much Jimmy Hendrix and Pete Townshend!
Totentanz - the dance of death - reminds me of Claes Bang playing a certain Count Dracula recently.
Someone will be dancing on the grave of MBL’s creative director in the near future.
This is truly bizarre. For someone with a piano, when he starts playing air piano his left hand goes off in the wrong direction, plus how does he play the piano with a marble bust of Schubert sitting on top of it? Presumably he gets his wife to hold it whilst he plays. He seems to have her well trained.
Clearly a commerical to capture @aangen’s attention:
A looong video for a tiny, obvious punchline. Ugh.
I knew better, but I still watched it. Stupid Elk.
I watched it to the end as well. 5 min and 28 secs of my life…poof!
The Germans are not known for their sense of humour, Beethoven etc… but the Swiss are legendary. I was once in a bar in Basel and had a bet we could make the waiter laugh. He stood there for half an hour, like a stone. So I searched “Nagra” on google to see what the Swiss could come up with and found this. It’s not hifi, it’s a lady called Pragya Nagra, I think she’s selling scmutters.
Germans have a tremendous sense of humor, especially satire and irony, even slapstick. Large cities, such as Berlin, have many comedy clubs.
What are they saying? That their target audience are effete snobs?
Only if the MBL has a fancy power cable. …Inside joke with Al.
I likely would have chalked it up to a being a cheap, loudness wars-era remaster.
I really would not want to be long to any club that would have him as a member.
I have more memories of Germans trying and failing to be funny.
I did once go round Cairo on a horse with a German girl called Uschi, which I think required a sense of humour. I think we were RUI. I have no recollection where she found the horse.
The disparity between MBLs quality of products and the quality of their marketing is large. Thankfully the products don’t mimic the marketing.
I get it. Funny really.
You should really rock the ascot while listening to them. You’ve earned it!
The guy has issues…
His wife is like his mother.
That’s what I got out of it lol.
