i saw them live too...

the background stuff in that video, with projected images and colors, and the band linear in front of it reminds me of Talking Heads' "Stop Making Sense" stage setup.

cryzko - you're from Detroit, right? I saw them several years ago at the state theatre... one of the best live shows I've ever seen.



I just remembered that I lost those tickets when I moved out east... damn.

anyway - the state (I think it's called something else now) used to be one of my favorite haunts... are they still doing Monday night movies?

toast.... they played at the state theatre back in 99 and in 2004(or2005)...i went to the later one... it was packed and i think tickets were around 50 or so.... the state is now called the "filmore".. sort of stupid if you ask me....

i think the show ended up being 2 hours or so...... it was crazy... all you could do is stand there and be amazed at it......

fillmore? ugh...

hmmm.... I thought it was in 98... anyway - it was a while back. now I feel old. I was very into techno in those days...

I've dug out Mensch Machine and it's now on heavy rotation.

ROTFL!!!! kraftwerk was founded in 1970...yes, you read right...a real while back. i saw them in the early 80's.......old........tsk.

they might have played in detroit in 98.....

i know they dont tour much so you really have to catch them....


on a side note...you should see my robot.... i'll have you shitttin bricks.. :)

emilio - the early 80s? you are definitely old :)

I just realized that if 10 years feels like not so long ago, then maybe I'm getting up there. maybe I'll feel differently in another 5 years when the interns I work with were born in the same year I started working.

florian schneider's father was an architect...

Bobby D.

emilio - now you're quoting bob dylan - just how old are you? ;)

dammson - weird al yankovic studied architecture.
