Books, Movies, Music & Entertainment - So which one of you likes Kraftwerk?

Fess up. I know its one of you, just can't remember who.

I like Kraftwerk, but I don't think I ever came out about it on BF. :)

In the 80s they were kinda fun.

I think they were a little before my time. I've tried listening to them, but they don't seem to grab me.

I'm a DM man.

I posted a video of Trans-Europa Express once. Is it me?

I have a lot of Kraftwerk. I even have Autobahn on 8-track.

Shouldn't this be in Foo?

Shouldn't this be in Foo?
No.

Well someone with a blue star felt this was totally inappropriate for the lofty forum of PnR. Forgive my ignorance, but what is Kraftwerk?

So Kris, I guess to answer your question. It ain't me.

Can someone please point me the direction to PnR?

At least it wasn't Foo. Thank you for killing my thread, to whom it may concern.

Was it me?

I'm not a huge fan, but I like Kraftwerk.

Maybe it was Ziemas...

Rip

He's dead?

Let's start talking about Global Warming until they move this thread back.

Come on folks. Save me the hassle and inconvenience of googling Kraftwerk. Who or what is it?

Nevermind - couldn't stand it. No wonder they are not on my radar screen. Seems they are/were innovators of the industrial crap that was hip awhile back. Yes? If so, I will now go back to being happily ignorant of their existence.

I vaguely remember the thread. I think it might have been javna.

I have the Tour de France Album.

I listen to it during indoor training.

It was Javna.
But, the question should be..."who doesnt listen to kraftwerk ?"

check out senor coconut doing kraftwerk covers.

or, for that matter, big black.

I believe you were talking about me!

or, for that matter, big black.

Rammstein also did a cover of Das Modell.

Big Black is the shiznit. My mom was doing my laundry one day and threw away my Songs About F***ing t-shirt back when I was in high school. It made me quite upset. :( I showed her by dropping out of school, though. Take that, parents! ;)

It's me, me me! Kraftwerk, Kraftwerk II and Ralf and Florian rock!

:)

they are releasing a boxed set of all their LP's from Radio-activity on to Tour De France Soundtracks sometime this year.

and that means another US tour!!!

have you heard any of Karl Bartos' solo work? he has a couple songs on his *shudders*myspace that are pretty interesting and kraftwerk-like.

Ok, Klaus Nomi ?
Scariest femalien ever, Nina Hagen ??

Nina Hagen's been doing some recording recently on the Left Coast and has played a few club gigs in PDX. I caught one of her shows about a year ago. She still rocks! I still don't know anyone else who does punk rock versions of The Lord's Prayer, I'm sure it gets the xians undies a bit bunched up.

NinI], I'm sure it gets the xians undies a bit bunched up.


Sounds more like you wish that it did.

Their Lps...you mean their CD's?

Their Lps...you mean their CD's?

no. i don't mean their cd's.

but it will be released on CD as well, if you're into that kind of thing.

OK...cool, I just bought a new turntable last week anyways and am enkoying playing a lot of my old LP's on it. Honestly did not know LP's were still that popular let alone the availabilty of new stuff, that's why I asked.

I used to watch Nina Hagen and Laurie Anderson videos on Night Flight when I was a kid. Gave me nightmares, but I later realized how awesome it was.

Kraftwerk...weren't they the nihilist kidnappers in The Big Lebowski?

No, that was Autobahn, and their album was Nagelbett (or bed of nails)

I was joking :) . I believe the Coen Brothers had them in mind when creating their characters.


"Ya, ve believes in nothzing, Lebowski!"

It's me!

Love die Kraftwerk!

Kraftwerk is way cool. Computerworld came out in the early 80's. When I was in school in Berkeley in 83, the brothers (actually young teenagers) from Oakland would come to the campus and play Computerworld on a boom box and brake dance to it.

It was sampled often by rappers and early hip-hoppers.

Electronica, trance all owe much to Kraftwerk.

I love listening to Kraftwerk. Below is a link to their Tour de France video.
