So which one of you likes Kraftwerk?

[KrisPistofferson]

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

[Stacey]

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

[erraticrider]

In the 80s they were kinda fun.

[Nicodemus]

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.

[javna_golina]

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

[FXjohn]

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

[erraticrider]

Shouldn't this be in Foo?

[KrisPistofferson]

Shouldn't this be in Foo?
No.

[CRUM]

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?

[KrisPistofferson]

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

[RegularGuy]

Was it me?

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

[KrisPistofferson]

Maybe it was Ziemas...

[Nicodemus]

Rip

[KrisPistofferson]

He's dead?

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

[CRUM]

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.

[classic1]

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

[BananaTugger]

I have the Tour de France Album.

I listen to it during indoor training.

[-=£em in Pa=-]

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

[davit70]

check out senor coconut doing kraftwerk covers.

[G60]

see avatar.

saw them in San Francisco a couple years back. greatest concert i have ever been to.

[Laika]

check out senor coconut doing kraftwerk covers.
or, for that matter, big black.

[Tom Stormcrowe]

I believe you were talking about me!

[G60]

or, for that matter, big black.

Rammstein also did a cover of Das Modell.

[KrisPistofferson]

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! ;)

[lala]

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

[G60]

:)

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.

[-=£em in Pa=-]

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

[randya]

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.

[FXjohn]

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?

[G60]

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.

[FXjohn]

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.

[KrisPistofferson]

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.

[curb hash]

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

[muccapazza]

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

[curb hash]

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


"Ya, ve believes in nothzing, Lebowski!"

[Serendipper]

It's me!

Love die Kraftwerk!

[San Rensho]

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.

[richardh]

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