But why the notorious reputation?? They are eternally labeled as "goth" simply because of 🙂" Bela Lugosi's dead" Despite that label, they are a superb band—exceptionally interesting and intriguing in their prime, even quite avant-garde 🙂 I find the albums in The flat Field and Mask to be excellent, and their strongest tracks (in my opinion) are their covers of Ziggy Stardust and telegram sam... though the rest of their discography is fantastic as well. Peter possesses such great charisma as a vocalist with a truly compelling voice. They released a new album last year (go Away White), and while they haven't strayed far from their signature sound, I actually think that is a good thing. Peter has been releasing solo albums for years featuring very interesting material 🙂, married someone from Turkey, and converted to Islam. Occasionally, the Bauhause go on tour across the USA, where they entered the mainstream alongside NIN... They are resting on their old laurels 🙂
I already posted the results!! Just take a look at the thread above yours.... It didn't work for me, but since it worked for a whole crowd of other people, I’d say you should give it a shot....What exactly do you have to lose? 👍

Have you ever considered actually attempting to use a clarifying shampoo specifically formulated for oily hair? It might be worth a shot. 😉
The fundamental issue here is that you operate under the delusion that daily hair washing is an absolute necessity, driven solely by your conviction that your hair is inherently greasy. That is merely your own subjective perception. I suspect you would be quite surprised if you actually abstained from washing for a few days; you might find that your hair isn't nearly as oily as you imagine, perhaps only appearing marginally different after a single day of neglect. It is true that hair can indeed become excessively oily, particularly during one's teenage years. However, as Anthony Flores2 pointedamente noted, this could very well be a self-inflicted issue; by washing too frequently, you are essentially stripping the scalp of its natural moisture, which triggers an overproduction of sebum to compensate. This is hardly a healthy cycle. Why continue such a pattern? I would suggest attempting to gradually phase out the daily wash until you establish a more sustainable rhythm of washing every three or four days. There are countless little life hacks out there, but perhaps the most straightforward involves using simple talcum powder. If you find yourself dealing with greasy hair, simply rubbing some powder into the strands. It effectively absorbs the excess oil. Is there anything more efficient than such a basic solution?
Is it not obvious that constant washing leads to excessive hair loss? Between the thinning strands and the stunted growth, one faces the very real possibility of being left completely bald long before their time.
I have come across several mentions of this topic across various sections of the forum, but perhaps we can establish a central hub here—provided the moderators don't decide to 🙂 close it.
I recently acquired a recipe for lowering cholesterol that is remarkably straightforward. What makes it noteworthy is its accessibility; it is incredibly inexpensive, simple to prepare, and according to those who have tried it, highly effective. I commenced my own regimen yesterday, so we shall see how it unfolds.
Finely mince 5 lemons (6 would also suffice) and combine them together including the zest. Using a garlic press, crush 30 cloves of garlic until they form a fine paste. Bring one liter of water to a boil, then add the minced lemon and the crushed garlic. Allow the mixture to
once reach a boil before removing it from the heat.
Once cooled, strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth (applying slight pressure to ensure maximum extraction) into a one or one-and-a-half-liter bottle.
Store the solution in the refrigerator once chilled.
Consume one small shot (approximately 0.3 to 0.5 dl) once daily (every single day) for a duration of three weeks.
Following this, take an eight-day break before repeating the three-week cycle.
If performed annually, your cholesterol levels should return to normal ranges.
For years, my cholesterol has hovered around 8 (with LDL near 6). Once I complete this initial three-week phase plus the subsequent steps, I intend to undergo blood work again to compare the results.
Interestingly, I used to feel quite unwell from consuming garlic—even just the scent—but this tonic is virtually imperceptible on the palate because the lemon neutralizes the flavor entirely. Therefore, anyone may consume it without the fear of unpleasant garlic breath. Admittedly, there is a noticeable odor during the boiling process, though it is hardly unbearable.
Information regarding this method is widely available online, and the feedback is overwhelmingly positive, which is why I am happy to share the recipe with you all. I will report back with my updated cholesterol numbers once my regimen is complete.
An interesting read. ^^ It is an absolute fact that the covers of T-Rex, David Bowie, and Marc Bolan actually surpassed the originals themselves. Additionally, it is worth noting how Bauhaus flirted with just about every musical style imaginable—including reggae in the song Harry. And let’s be honest: "Bela Lugosi is dead" was originally intended to be nothing more than a joke, yet the goth subculture adopted it as their definitive anthem! But then again, that isn't surprising. The Gothic movement that emerged during the transition from the late 70s to the early 80s, blending with New Wave until the mid-80s, was largely a brief phase of experimentation for most bands of that era. Today, the vast majority of those groups are incorrectly categorized as strictly "goth" bands. The prime example is Sisters of Mercy. They are, at their core, a pure heavy rock band (not heavy metal!), yet 90% of their fanbase is still stuck on Eldritch's "weekend phase" from 1987. To this day, we see thousands of walking clones who end up perpetually disappointed when they attend updated Sisters concerts... Regardless, I have affection for both camps, and it would be quite fascinating to see Bauhaus perform a concert here in the States...
Morgan Chase4 and Charles are talking nonsense... The customs officer was simply doing his job; it isn’t his responsibility to guess someone's profession based on their physical appearance. If you are hauling expensive gear for a temporary import, you get an ATA Carnet. It is as simple as that. We aren't part of the European Union, so we don't follow the same rules that apply in Germany or the Netherlands. I work for a massive multinational corporation, and whenever I transport high-end technical equipment into Canada or Canada, I carry an ATA Carnet. When I move that same gear from Austria to Germany, I don't need one. Whoever is in charge of concert organization (is it Morgan Chase?) needs to either have a commercial specialist on hand or possess a broader knowledge of logistics—not just knowing how to play an instrument. Therefore, Morgan Chase (and Charles as well) should stop blaming the customs officer for performing his duties. You made a mistake, and that is the only fact here. Is a customs officer supposed to recognize Wayne and immediately drop to his knees to let him pass? The questions for people like that should be: "Passport, please," "Do you have an ATA Carnet for this equipment?" and, if necessary, "A drug inspection, please." Kudos to The Mission and Morgan Chase, but organizing concerts requires a much more serious approach, including securing all the necessary permits and documentation!
Back on topic: I didn't make it to the concert and felt a bit bad about it, but honestly, the cold weather kept me away... now I'm actually glad I stayed home; at least I wasn't freezing outside the venue.🙂
I have finally given this a thorough listen, and here is my assessment and take on the matter: rating - 3 opinion - It features that unmistakable Bauhaus sound and vocals, making it a solid album for 1982; however, listening to it in 2008, it feels as though time has slightly eroded its impact... Perhaps that is why the opening track is titled Too much 21st century 🙂 Adrenalin might actually be the standout track on the record, and Black Stone Heart and International Bullet Proof talent aren't bad either. Endless Summer of The damned sounds like something straight out of a Guy Ritchie film—which, by extension, means it's good... The lyrics, however, are another story entirely. Those pseudo-dark goth verses about being cursed sound almost comical when sung by four men who collectively look like they've lived nearly two centuries... Tracks like Undone, Saved, and Zikir are utterly uninteresting... That wah-wah screech from Daniel's guitar is a bit much for the ears, leaving one to wonder why they lack the melodic quality found in older tracks like Spirit, The Passion of Lovers, or Terror couple kill colonel... Yet, there is also a certain grit missing that they used to possess in songs like in The flat field, dark entries, diviti, telegram sam, Ziggy Stardust, The sanity assassin, Lagartija, or biti my hop. I also feel they could have used a bit more saxophone, which they utilized so effectively in She's, Watch that grandad go, and Dancing... Ultimately, following their first two exceptional albums, I find this one to be mediocre—not better, but certainly not worse than, say, Sky's goniti out. There is far too much guitar squeal, which likely will never surpass Bela Lugosi's dead, but it remains a decent (solidly a three) and recognizably Bauhaus album.
Good grief, I have rambled quite extensively; I suppose I should ensure my subsequent posts aren't just endless strings of characters.😁
Well, I finally picked up the album myself... though, honestly, after the first listen through my phone earbuds, I wasn't particularly impressed. I suppose I'll give it a few more days to see if it actually grows on me before I offer a final verdict... In any case, Bauhaus back in the day 👍 versus Bauhaus today—we shall see. 🙂
A fantastic film featuring an excellent performance by John Doe.... A pleasant surprise from a recent release... finally, dialogue that actually sounds like how people speak in real life. 😁 The theme is compelling, the acting is solid, and the character selection (mostly drawn from The Mob and Princess, bravo Tower) is superb... Miles playing the boss of the crew 👍 Derpy as the waiter at the wedding 👍 Kazoo as Zlajf 👍 👍 👍
Highly recommended if you're looking for 106 minutes of enjoyable entertainment....
Thanks to the moderator for merging these topics....I scrolled through ten pages before finding this thread, but honestly, I didn't realize one already existed... though it did seem odd to me...
And there are thousands of other hilariously absurd little details... for instance: when they’re practicing driving stakes into pillows and Alfred hits his own finger with the hammer; then in the very next scene, you see the old man coming down the stairs with his finger wrapped up way too heavily... or that bit where they're eating at the tavern, and the old man breaks off a chunk of cheese, but a tiny piece snaps off and falls onto the table, so he just keeps stabbing at it with his fork (or knife) until he finally catches it...
The movie is bloody... absolutely ridiculous, hilarious, and feels like some twisted fairy tale.
Chloe Reed37 said:I absolutely adore that movie...😍 I watched it countless times when I was a kid, but it really ought to be broadcast again just so I can revisit those memories...
Well, it finally happened—they actually aired it on AMC last night...
It truly is a fairy-tale fantasy of a film... such an incredibly strange yet brilliant piece of cinema...
The scene featuring the vampire ball and dance is nothing short of genius 🙂
"see you later gentlemen. Meditate while awaiting your turn, for it would be extremely difficult for you to get away from me, unless of course you have wings... LIKE A BAT. 😈 "
Has anyone actually sat down to watch this yet? What are your thoughts on it? Does anyone happen to own this on DVD and feel inclined to share a copy? 🙂
I watched it quite some time ago, but it certainly left a lasting impression on me. I would love to revisit it... but I am at a loss as to where to find it. 😢
I am merely bumping this thread to bring it back to the surface... Furthermore, I would like to inquire if anyone happens to own this film on 🙂DVD (preferably in decent quality) so that I might request a rip.
Chris Cruz59 said:P. S. Stormrider, the song that Thompson lifted the theme from for "Beyond Nine Villages" is actually Super Trooper.
super trooper it's bizarre how blind people are
🙂
yeah. 🙂
If you actually listen to Super Trooper and Beyond Nine Villages with an objective ear, you will realize that perhaps 5% of the chorus is similar and absolutely nothing else!!! If you attempt a simple experiment—specifically, if you try to hum the melody of Super Trooper and then hum the melody of Beyond Nine Villages—you will find they aren't even remotely alike...
A much more blatant example of Thompson's plagiarism is Gen Kamen, which is just a cover of Vanhalen Jump. And nothing else...
As some people have pointed out, the *Streets of Fire* score is fantastic, but it might not work well as background music because those are legitimate rock tracks...
And you absolutely must try to get your hands on *The Warriors* soundtrack...
I have *SoF* on CD, so if you want, I can rip it to an MP3 or something and email it over to you, but if you manage to track down *The Warriors* (I currently have it on cassette), shoot me an email.🙂
Kiki said:Exactly... plus they completely botched the whole mask situation anyway. When he finally takes it off, you realize his face is actually disfigured, even in those spots the mask wasn't covering—parts they just moments ago presented as being flawless.
Jesus........😲 It is pure symbolism, Kiki!!!!!! Even his hair turned gray right after he removed the mask!!! That is artistic liberty through symbolism... It represents more than just physical scarring; it represents his spiritual and emotional devastation too....
Please, try to have a little objectivity when making these kinds of assessments... 😉
