Episode 23
Saturday, 23 August, 2025
Send us a textEau de Cologne.Floh de Cologne.Oh, that Floh de Cologne!Blending old-time cabaret tradition and '60s radical left-wing politics, the Flohs brought biting wit and considerable musical range to bierkellers and Uni stages all across West Germany. And it wasn't long before they laid a concept album/ beat-show down to tape. That record, Ohr Records’ first release (!), was Fliessbandbabys Beat-Show.Rock along with your two favorite middle-aged Gen X Conveyor Belt Babies, as we explore the life and work of Floh de Cologne!NOTE: We urge listeners to look in on these transcriptions and translations of (some of) the Fliessbandbaby song lyrics. Having them handy certainly made this astonishingly good record more accessible to us, and we expect they'll enhance your listen of this episode, too.
