On a train from Glasgow last week, the man next to me left a USB charger cable plugged in when he got off at Lancaster. I plugged my phone in. No-one complained, so I kept the cable when I left the train.

A vibrant, digitally-rendered image depicts a large, yellow spacecraft floating in space against a backdrop of a nebula and numerous stars. The spacecraft is angular in design, with a prominent cockpit section on the left side and a series of rectangular structures extending to the right. The entire craft appears heavily detailed with numerous small windows, panels, and visible wear and tear. The spacecraft has the text "ROSS" boldly written along its side in dark lettering. Behind the spacecraft is a pink and purple nebula with countless stars scattered throughout a dark blue space.

“How long can you go?” – I asked myself not so many moons ago. I’d been dwelling around with the ideas of what to do next in Blender – characters, hard-surface stuff, planets, realistic renders, and so on.

Heute präsentiere ich mal wieder eine Bauhaus-Single: „Telegram Sam“, für mich eine der besten Coverversionen, die es gibt. Das Original von T. Rex habe ich erst viele Jahre später gehört und fand es eher langweilig.
„Telegram Sam“ war die vierte Single von Bauhaus und wurde zwei Tage vor dem ersten Album „In The Flat Field“ am 05. November 1980 veröffentlicht*, also morgen vor 45 Jahren, wenn du diesen Beitrag am Erscheinungstag liest. Wie alle bis dahin erschienenen Singles, „Bela Lugosi’s Dead“, „Dark Entries“ und „Terror Couple Kill Colonel“, ist sie auf keinem Originalalbum zu finden. „Telegram Sam“ war mit Platz 3 die erfolgreichste Single von Bauhaus in den britischen Indie-Charts.
Als T. Rex 1972 „Telegram Sam“ veröffentlichten, stand Marc Bolan auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Glam-Rock-Ära. Der Song ist ein Paradebeispiel für Bolans unverwechselbaren Stil: ein lässiger Boogie-Groove, charmant und funkig, getragen von seiner lässig-nasalen Stimme. Alles klingt nach Glitzer, Selbstbewusstsein und dekadentem Spaß – Glamour als Lebenshaltung. Nicht zu Unrecht war Bolan eine der Gallionsfiguren des Glam-Rock – allerdings überhaupt nicht mein Geschmack.
Acht Jahre später nahmen sich also Bauhaus des Songs an – und verwandelten ihn in das Gegenteil. Ihr „Telegram Sam“ ist kühl, kantig, fast mechanisch. Der Beat treibt in Post-Punk-Manier, besonders der Basslauf von David J, die Gitarren von Daniel Ash hallen und schneiden, wo Bolans noch warm swingten, was zwar groovy klingt, mich aber nicht berührt. Ein weiterer Kontrast ist der Gesang, Peter Murphy singt nicht, er beschwört – mit einem tiefen, distanzierten Ton, der jede Spur von Glamour vertreibt. Der einst verspielte Refrain klingt jetzt wie ein ironisches Mantra aus einer dekonstruierten Pop-Welt.
Bauhaus’ Cover ist mehr als eine Hommage: Es ist eine Transformation, ein Kommentar über die Vergänglichkeit des Popglanzes. Wo T. Rex noch den „main man“ feierten, sehen Bauhaus darin nur noch das Echo einer untergehenden Ära – cool, distanziert, faszinierend leer. Sie haben hier quasi ihre musikalischen Wurzeln aus den Siebzigern in die frühen Achtzigerjahre überführt.
Darüber hinaus hat besonders Gitarrist Daniel Ash gerne Glam-Rock-Ascessoires verwendet, z. B. schwarze Federboas und Make-Up. Und musikalisch verwendete er in seinen späteren Projekte wie Love And Rockets (Bauhaus ohne Peter Murphy) Pop, Funk und Glam-Elemente, ohne die Bauhaus-Herkunft zu verleugnen.
Meiner Meinung nach ist „Telegram Sam“ eines der besten Lieder von Bauhaus. Von Laibach habe ich mal sinngemäß den Satz gelesen „Wir covern nicht, wir verbessern“, der paßt auch zu Bauhaus.
Die B-Seite von „Telegram Sam“ ist „Crowds“, das von einem Klavier getragen und mit Gitarrenakzenten untermalt wird. Der Gesang von Peter Murphy ist hier zunächst ruhig und steigert sich ins verzweifelt klagende. Der Text wirkt persönlich und könnte auf eine unglückliche Liebschaft hindeuten oder auf eine Beziehung zwischen Künstler („a slim pixie“) und Publikum („crowds“), bei der sich der Künstler ausgenutzt oder mißverstanden fühlt. Auch dieses Lied gehört zu meinen Favoriten von Bauhaus.
