und wenn ich heute

B-Side Sunday is back, and featuring 100% more Falcotropic goodness than ever!

Falco - Maschine Brennt (12" Remix) (the b-side of 1983's "On the Run" 12-inch single)

Don't look for an explanation, because there is none -- just some plastic new wave disco from the finest rapper ever to emerge from Austria.

There was a German woman in my extended circle of college acquaintances, and I once asked her if she'd was familiar with the late Johann "Falco" Hölzel's body of work.

"He's Austrian," she answered in voice thick with Teutonic disdain. "I'm German." Before I could apologize for the affront to her heritage, she quietly followed up with "It was the worst concert I ever attended."
