Art Brut! Top Of The Pops! But In German!

Sometimes this country isn't all it's cracked up to be.



Last night, while BBC and ITV were showing Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor, ZDF in Germany were broadcasting a live performance of Art Brut, The Blood Arm and dEUS in a warehouse in Berlin.

I watched neither - I dug out my Hot Fuzz DVD instead - but was able to watch it in its entirety this morning. Not knowing how long it was going to be on the ZDF website for, I also managed to, er, find a copy, which you can download below:

Part 1 |
Part 2 |
Part 3 |
Part 4 |
Part 5 |
Part 6

It's almost a gigabyte and it's in ASF which plays perfectly well on Windows Media Player for me, hope it does for you too if you go to the trouble of downloading.

PS Google Translate seems to think that Top Of The Pops in German is Top Of The Pops, which is a little disappointing. I might have gone for Top Der Pops or something.

PPS And they played St Pauli. Natürlich.
