don't be so schneider

schneider with the kick - shout (mp3)

so inbetween the regular stag weekend shenanigans in prague last month (don't ask, mainly because i can't remember anyhow), i managed to find a rather spectacular shop called music antiquariat, an aladdin's cave of east european rock, pop and new wave records. they had a very strict "5 record listens only" so there were a few picks that were bought on the strength of covers alone ... a dangerous game, but one that every so often reaps rewards such as this gem!

taken from their 1982 'exposed' lp, this is american-born, berlin-based helen schneider on an experimental tip. it's a bit of a new wave monster, so you should probably go ahead and get yourself one of the few copies over on good ol' ebay.
