'Bad Old Songs', Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird's new album is a dark and more intimate follow-up to their 'Album of the Year' award winning 'Lost Causes' (2011). Originals like Kahn's wicked Berliner ostalgie ballad 'Good Old Bad Old Days' and the anti-love blues 'Love Lays Low' meet polyglot reinventions of Yiddish folk songs and classics from Leonard Cohen, Degenhardt, and Heine. In the desolate borderlands between Berlin, Detroit, New York, and Yiddishland, these Bad Old Songs are the midnight reveries of a lost time that is yet to come. From Rolling Stone (Germany): Poet, historian, radical Jewish songster and alienation klezmer virtuoso Daniel Kahn evokes the Berlin of long-ago on his new album with the international ensemble The Painted Bird. He begins this polyglot hora of an album with 'A Meydl From Berlin', a Yiddish folksong from 19th century Warsaw, and plays Franz Josef Degenhardt, Robert Schumann, and Leonard Cohen. In 'Good Old Bad Old Days' he pokes fun at ostalgie [East German socialist nostalgia kitsch]: 'I remember those nights down in old east Berlin / With the microphones listening under the floor'. 'Bad Old Songs' is an extraordinary collection of sinister, dark, furious, and mournful songs. The band this time is stripped down to a core quartet: Detroit born Berliner Bard Daniel Kahn on vocals, accordion, electric guitar, piano, ukulele, banjo, etc; New York Klezmer Wunderkind Jake Shulman-Ment on violin; Swedish Berliner Hampus Melin on drums; Michigan expat Berliner and sound artist Michael Tuttle on bass The album was produced in Xberg by Berlin's legendary engineer and producer Thomas Stern (Einstürzende Neubauten, Crime & The City Solution u.a.) DANIEL KAHN PRESS QUOTES: 'Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird are to Klezmer what the Pogues were to Folk: shtetl music spiked with a proper shot of Punk. . . Polyglot, Paneuropean Punkfolk. Kahn writes great crooked songs between Leonard Cohen and Mordechai Gebirtig, between Nick Cave and Hirsch Glik. With a light hand, he translates and adapts old songs, making them his own.' Die Zeit 'Clarinet and accordion are charged with Punk Rock; trombones march side by side with electric guitars. Archive treasures like Mordechai Gebirtig's or David Edelstadt's radical resistance songs meet the free-spirited attitude of the New York Tzadik circle, the flair of cabaret, and borrowed scatterings from Waits.' Stefan Franzen, Rolling Stone [German] review of 'Lost Causes' 'Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird play Alienation Klezmer: forward-marching and backward-glancing . . . Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird make truly great art.' TAZ 'Everyone's bouncing and drinking and Kahn sings of revolution, whisky and Zion, inner emigration and parasitism. He ends with the Yiddish folk song 'Dem Milners Trern,' known from the Coen brothers film 'A Serious Man.' Daniel Kahn, at once moralist and anarchist, is also a man who means it all seriously.'' Maik Brüggemeyer, Rolling Stone [German] (live concert review) 'When it's comes to wicked freaky Klezmer music, the Americans were always way ahead. Daniel Kahn, born in Detroit, living in Berlin, belongs to this caste of Yiddish music agitators. An absolute must for lovers of unusual, intelligent, challenging, exciting folk music and a blast at every instant.' Klaus Halama, Sound & Image Spotlighted on the stage and dressed in black, Kahn sang through a megaphone and switched between accordion, piano and ukulele as he chewed up stereotypes and spit them out in an almost in-your-face challenge to the audience. Ruth Ellen Gruber, Ruthless Cosmopolitan 'Kahn's great and artful songwriting follows in the footsteps of Leonard Cohen or Tom Waits.' DPA 'While many artists in Klezmer (and folk music generally) are concerned with preserving the past, Daniel Kahn seems determined to bend it to his will. . .Without exaggeration, it's some of the best songwriting I've ever come across.' Jon Patton, Driftwood Magazine. 'Commune-music that is furious, tender, crazy, punky, freejazzy, yet always grounded in folklore [...] and literature. Never before heard on a Klezmer CD.' Ulrich Olshausen, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung 'Remixed traditions, globalized identities, criticism of nation states these things are the lifeblood of Yiddish. In Kahn's own words: 'I come from Detroit, a worker's city. I love songwriters like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. And especially Yiddish labor songs. You can take a song written a hundred years ago and sing it about unemployment in the US today. It still works. But while I love political songs, I've also translated and sung Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones in Yiddish. You could say I make a kind of Yiddish punk cabaret.'' New Zurich Zeitung 'Daniel Kahn is helping Klezmer reach a new renaissance, seasoning it with folk, punk, and deep-digging lyrics, full of sarcasm and wicked self-irony. 'Alienation Klezmer' is how he describes it. It reminds us of a time when musicians still had something to say. . . Of course, Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird get you dancing as much as some other Gypsy or Klezmerbands, but they challenge your mind as well. It's almost genius how his music breaks taboos Armed with megaphone and accordion, at the piano or with a guitar, even on the theatrical stage, he fills his music with spirit, directness, and feeling.' Claudia Frenzel, Folker Magazine 'The Great Depression and gave rise to some of the fiercest critiques of modern capitalism and imperialism in any discourse. Daniel Kahn, a Detroit born singer songwriter now living in Berlin, is part of that tradition, while at the same time creating a new musical idiom blending American-folk and Yiddish protest song. Kahn, 30, is a post modern folkie just as likely to quote from the Industrial Workers of the World songbook as to cite Marxist critic Slavoj Zizek.' -Rokhl Kafrissen, The Forward '. . .much more exciting than the assimilated, all too stable life that characterizes much of contemporary Jewish art. Kahn is reminding us of the roots that aren't even that deep in the ground echoes of our national unconscious that have what to offer those who hear them. Kahn attempts to pick up exactly at the place where things went wrong for Jewish art, offering a new route instead.' Jake Marmer, The Forward 'He's like the Jewish Bob Dylan!' -a real old lady at a concert.

My dog loves it
Color: 1 PC-Beef-Red, Color: 1 PC-Beef-Red
The bone arrived today and my dog loves it. He is a very aggressive chewer and destroyed almost all his toys so far, even toys that were advertised for aggressive chewers unfortunately didn't held out long, the longest so far was a stuffy we couldn't find anymore and that one lasted him a few weeks but everything else lasted him an hour up to a few days max, even bones don't last him long so we have our hopes set on this bone to satisfy his chewing needs. I will update my review later on sturdiness, since we just got it and I can't review that yet but so far he loves it he has been chewing on it non stop, he already managed to get very small pieces of as shown in picture but with a regular bone he would've already been much much further. The bone is only 10 bucks so the value for money you get based on my experience so far is amazing! But also for this I will come back later to touch upon more. The size is good, our boy is a medium sized dog and this bone was advertised for medium to large size dogs and I thinks the size is just right for our boy . And there is definitely a beef flavor on it you can smell it but it doesn't smell bad it's a nice smell and not very strong but when he is chewing on it you smell it. I would based on my experience so far definitely recommend this bone but also on this I will touch back upon later if it's worth it in the long run. So far a very happy dog and owners here. Edit on May 8th (original review was on March 11th) He still hasn't managed to destroy it it's the first (cgew)toy he hasn't managed to destroy yet which is very impressive since he managed to destroy the even most toughest things we got for him in a week tops and bones within 1, 2 days tops, so we are very happy and pleased with this bone and will definitely get more later. He still enjoys chewing on it and leaves our things mostly alone for some reason he just likes stealing my things and chew on it lol. So 2 months later still stand by recommending this when your dog loves to chew and destroys everything he puts his mouth on.

Extremely durable, dogs love them
Color: 2 PC-Beef-Red, Color: 2 PC-Beef-Red
I was looking for the toughest and most durable dog chew bone I could find and this is it. I have bought multiple other brands that claim to be very durable and tough for a very long time and this is the one for sure. The shower has described this phone accurately and it truly does last. I purchased this bone about 2 months ago. As you see from the photos attached, this is a very well made chew bone and my aggressive pitbulls can't tear it apart do they try. They never get tired of it and chewing it every single day for hours on and keeping them very occupied. I have two bones and three pitbulls that chew on it every day. It is so adorable and has an awesome flavor to it which I think entices them even more to want to chew on it. The durability and Lasting power is amazing to me with these tough chewers. I highly recommend this product to everyone out there. I will say only one negative and that is that the middle wraparound piece they were able to pull off but that is not a big deal because there is plenty of bone which was under that cover in the middle of the bone. There's a few mauled chips missing from the ends but the life of this bone is obviously going to be a long time which really surprised me. Give it a shot if you have heavy duty chewers and you will find how awesome this phone really is and it's durability and strength our second to none in my opinion.

My dog loves it.
Color: 1 PC-Beef-Red
My dog is a super aggressive chewer when it comes to toys. Anything that is soft he rips apart. This one has a wonderful squeaky sound that makes him happy and he enjoys the smell of it. This is a very strong material and definitely worth the price.

Alright, here's a product review for those Tough Dog Toys: Finally, a Toy That Survives My Monster! - Tough Dog Toys Review As the owner of a determined (and I mean determined) large breed chewer, finding toys that last longer than five minutes has been a constant and often frustrating quest. I've gone through countless plush toys ripped to shreds, rubber toys with chunks missing, and even some "indestructible" toys that met their demise far too quickly. That's why I was both hopeful and skeptical when I came across the Tough Dog Toys, designed specifically for aggressive chewers and large breeds. Let me tell you, these bone-shaped nylon toys are living up to their name. My power-chewing Labrador has been going at this thing for days now, and I'm genuinely impressed. Where other toys have succumbed to his relentless gnawing, the Tough Dog Toy has held its own. There are some minor teeth marks, as expected, but absolutely no significant damage, no pieces torn off, and no signs of imminent destruction. "Almost indestructible" might actually be an understatement! The design is simple but effective. The solid nylon construction feels incredibly durable, and the bone shape is easy for my dog to grip and maneuver. It's also a good size for a large breed – substantial enough that he can really get a good chew going without it disappearing in his mouth. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind this toy provides. I no longer have to constantly supervise playtime, fearing that he'll ingest pieces of a destroyed toy. This feels like a safe and long-lasting option for even the most enthusiastic chewers. Pros: * Truly durable – stands up to aggressive chewing from a large breed. * Solid nylon construction feels virtually indestructible. * Safe design with no small parts to break off. * Good size and shape for large dogs to grip and enjoy. * Provides long-lasting entertainment. Cons: * May show some teeth marks over time (though this hasn't compromised its integrity). * It's a fairly hard material, so dogs who prefer softer toys might not be as interested. Overall: If you're at your wit's end trying to find a toy that can withstand your aggressive chewing large breed dog, I highly recommend giving the Tough Dog Toys a try. This bone toy has proven to be the most durable option we've encountered, offering excellent value for money and, most importantly, a safe and engaging chewing experience for your furry friend. Five out of five paws!
