Blumfeld (German pronunciation: [ˈbluːmfɛlt]) was an indie-pop band from Hamburg, Germany, which arose from the bands "Arm", "Laut" and "Der schwarze Kanal". The name of the band was coined by the main character of the short story "Blumfeld, ein älterer Junggeselle" by Franz Kafka. Blumfeld are counted among the most significant representatives of the Hamburger Schule (School of Hamburg) and are considered to be one of the most successful combos of the German indie scene.

Blumfeld's music is characterized by a distinctive dispute of human life in the context of modern consumer society. Fears, depressions, uncertainty, lack of orientation and love as main motive are the most important items, which are made a subject of discussion. The mainly melancholic music is seen as having a pessimistic tone.

I think this is really interesting, especially the second paragraph. I like espcially the idea of "lack of orientation" and "dispute of human life in the context of modern consumer society." It sounds pretty pretentious, and also a lot like Kafka.

Also, I looked up charwoman. I was unsure if it had any other meaning other than just a woman who is hired to clean. It is that, except it's usually in a large building (which makes sense), but I also found some really nice pictures:
