I am feeling misanthropic today. And I love this song.

Nichts hat sich bewegt
in all den tausend Jahren
ich warte immer noch
auf die Angst vor dem Tod
ich bin der Mittelpunkt
und begreife nichts
ich bin der Mittelpunkt
und habe nie was begriffen
Am roten Signal vorei und gezeichnet
Selbstgespraeche unter vier Augen - unleserlich
nichts steht da wo es sein sollte
nichts steht da wo es sein sollte - und alle wissen es
bewusstloses Kopfnicken
selbsterdachte Grenzen
"denkendes" Labyrinth wie Martini geschuettelt
gelogen geraubt gefressen
gepluendert geschaendet gemordet

[Giles]

Translation?

[Max Power]

I'll try:

Nothing ever moved
in all the thousand years
I'm still waiting
for fear of death
I am the center
and understand nothing
I am the center
and I have never understood
Pass the red signal - marked
Talking to myself - under four eyes - illegible
there is nothing there where it should be
there is nothing there where it should be - and everybody knows it
Unconscious nod
self-devised limits
"thinking" Labyrinth shaken as Martini
lied robbed eaten
plundered murdered desecrated

[Giles]

Wow, great thanks Max….....

[John Ariz]

just saw a pic of R. General rocking his SWIZ shirt. Reminder to all those fans to pick up the new "DAG with Shawn" CD on Dischord. Can finally put the bootleg to rest.

[riffblaster general]

LOVE this record.  had the 7 inch set that thd records put out years ago, but i'm so stoked it got a proper remaster and rerelease.  Shawn Brown is king!!!

[SepticSef]

been listening to OFF! all day.i`m totally into keith morris new band.plus the video has footage of raymond pettibone painting so thats a plus.

[nameness]

So the question is, are they overrated and really one of the best HC bands ever?

One of the first shows I saw was SOIA, Ensign and Indecision… Still a classic night in my life.

Say what you want about SOIA, but every time I saw them I had a blast and sang and moshed like crazy.

[Max Power]

Overrated? Yes. Important? Yes. Maybe depends on wether you like NYHC or not. I personally am not the biggest fan of Lou Koller's voice, tbh.

[riffblaster general]

i gotta say they lost me after just look around.  Generally speaking i'm not a huge fan of nyhc.  i feel like there were about 4 or 5 bands that were truly great and about a hundred who just sorta rode coat tails.

[nameness]

And the four or five are….  drumroll...

[riffblaster general]

Agnostic Front (early),  Cro Mags, Kraut,  can you count the Bad Brains?

[nameness]

Kraut, wasn't expecting that one.  Always thought of them more in the punk vein.  I'd say BB is DC/NYC.  So basically nothing past '86?
