Walter Benjamin is a modern songwriter, just like the Modern Rock Song by Belle & Sebastian. He uses samplers and synths on his songs, along with a cheap acoustic guitar and a cheap sounding voice. Walter Benjamin was born in the spring, although he doesn't remember where. He is now a member of Goodbye Toulouse, the Lisbon based folk collective, where he plays synths and samplers. Walter Benjamin is actually a piano player although noone has ever seen him play the piano. Well, his first EP is now ready. The record, called 'The Dog follows the Bull', will soon be released by Merzbau on a date to be anounced. but some people are just listening to audiobooks of Walter Benjamin (July 15, 1892 – September 27, 1940) who was a German Marxist literary critic, essayist, translator, and philosopher. He was at times associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory and was also greatly inspired by the Marxism of Bertolt Brecht and the Jewish mysticism of Gershom Scholem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Benjamin
