Falco - Der Kommisar
(1981) [Lyrics]
[Bio 1957-1998]
I always liked Falco. He was sort of a German version of rapping Brian
Ferry. He definitely had some big hits in the early 80s.
No Time for Revolution
was released posthumously, and I thought it was one of his better numbers.
He definitely died to young. Some of his other hits were:
Auf Der Flucht (Live),
Rock Me Amadeus,
Emotional,
Ganz Wien,
Jeanny,
Nachtflug and
Out Of The Dark.

Yoko Kanno on YouTube
Yoko
Kanno - Escaflowne (Opening) [Bio]
The opening music for the best anime series ever - Escaflowne was written by
the lovely and talented composer Yoko Kanno. I met Yoko briefly at an
autograph session at Anime Expo in 1999. She was wearing the same
straw hat (below). She also performed (she played the piano) at the
convention. I had kind of forgot about her, but then I started looking
for her anime clips on YouTube. Here's a sampling of what I found:
Voices from Macross
Plus AMV,
Ghost in the
Shell (Opening),
Please Save My Earth (Ending),
Wolf's Rain (Ending),
Seatbelts - Live,
Cowboy Bebop (Opening)
and
Sharon Apple Concert From Macross Plus.

This is a great animation based on the work of Superflat artist Takashi
Murakami.
"An ad campaign for LOUIS VUITTON by Mamoru Hosoda. an updated Alice in
Wonderland, in which a girl, searching for her lost cell phone, floats in a
dizzying world of the company's logos. While waiting to meet her friends
outside of a Louis Vuitton store, Aya's cell phone is eaten by the LV Panda,
who then promptly swallows Aya - but the inside of his stomach is gateway to
a psychedelic wonderland. Based on characters created by famed Superflat
artist Takashi Murakami."
