The one and only Leaether Strip has released a cover of the Bauhaus's legendary "Bela Lugosi's Dead" .As everyone knows this is one of, if not the absolute first actual goth song, so it takes some serious balls to cover it, and Claus definitely did not disappoint. The original is of course an absolute classic, but at around fifteen minutes long, its a bit much. So the first thing I really liked about this cover is that it clocks in at only a hair over five minutes. It hits every note it needs to pay proper homage to the original, but with a faster tempo and Claus's signature vocals, it's an absolute hit! I highly recommend checking it out, but only if you've got enough room to dance, because you can't listen to it sitting still. I also love the art for this single. It's kind of abstract, very interesting, and looks like an undead fine art piece or something. This is definitely one of the best covers I've heard in a hot minute, and I highly recommend checking it out.
At the turn of the 20th Century, Hölstein was an agricultural village with about 40 farmers. link Town leadership, seeing Switzerland's rapid development, envisaged greater potential. In 1900, they began construction on a link factory to draw link a watch company like in neighboring, flourishing Waldenburg.
Today, luxury culture is remix link culture. The brands that used to shun hip-hop artists either clamor to link work with them or co-opt the culture with zero credit given in return. The picking and choosing of when and where to appreciate hip-hop artists link can be found throughout fashion and jewelry, and Jacob the Jeweler is part and parcel of who stands on either side of that dividing line.
