For its 10th anniversary, Berlin's Shitkatapult risks an overflowing cup of festive reflection. The drunken cheer spawned the simplest of plans: to dust off the good old German tra dition of drinking songs, take them out of the world of wood-panelled shacks and dusty trophies and, just in time for the fifth season, give them a sparkling new overhaul: a dash of strobes in a Berlin pub, so to speak. For this very exclusive concoction they shook, stirred, poured and spared no pains. Besides a bunch of sing-along evergreens, expect some brand new input for the bottomless archives of German drinking songs, bound to scare some of you and warm the cockles of others. SmaShits will slid in nicely along with the Shitkatapult label's recent releases by Anders Ilar, Apparat and Sun Electric. There are fruity vintages from favorite martial arts whizz kids Deichkind, who present "Prost" (feat. Das Bo), an arty smash snuggling up to equally infectious anthems by Geld Et Nelt and T.Raumschmiere (feat. Ellen Allien) as well as the sensational cover of (in)famous German punk hit "Steifheit" (Betoncombo) by Das Bierbeben. From disco to delirium in three easy steps. Shaking up those evergreens, expect (Heino's) "Caramba Caracho Ein Whisky," by Anaphie vs. Phlex, "Die Reblaus" (Hans Moser's grandeur appropriated by Marc Marcovic) and "Red Red Wine" in a dubstep version by Fenin (feat. Gorbi). As part of this aural drink fest, check out Rainald Grebe and soft drink stomper "Trink Ein Cola" by Dirty Dishes. And last, but not least, we have snared the tireless media sentries of Studio Braun for a "Bierlied!" The icing on the boozy cake: Helge Schneider chips in with his keyboard ode to secret drinking, "Allein In Der Bar." The CD will be accompanied by a lavish 20-page booklet featuring alcohol-soaked ramblings by Rocky Schamoni, Kai Pohl, J”rg Sundermaier and Daniel Meteo, plus a few lyrics to shout along to and a cartoon.
