    Krautrock

    Anyone watch this on BBC four a few days ago, I have finally got round to playing it back.
    The documentary was quite boring, but the Kraftwerk concert was just about the weirdest thing I've ever seen, here's an excerpt if you missed it :

    Saw a clip of it but they weren't playing "She's a model..." so I flicked over.

      Not a patch on their classic 'Home Computer'

        Then you'd love the Trans-Europe Express album. Music to do something else to.

          Das Modell (they were performing in German) was after Autobahn which is the first track on my recording which may have missed the start of the prog.

                You need to check out Udo Lindenberg from a little further back, he had it nailed with "Germans", you can't beat lyrics like this:

                Germans -- go out ridin' with their ladies
                Germans -- in their elegant Mercedes
                Germans -- have a country that is scenic
                Germans -- drive from Hamburg down to Munich

                Germans -- like Fritz and Franz and Edeltraut
                Germans -- they eat a lot of sauerkraut
                Germans -- they like pretzels with teir wurst
                Germans -- they drik beer until they burst

                The say 'Guten Tag' and they say 'Auf wiedersehen'
                they race down the Autobahn through acid rain
                they take lots of Deutsch Marks right out of their pockets
                to buy russian vodka and american rockets

                Germans -- gave you Goethe, Mann and Schiller
                Germans -- and Franz Kafka was a thriller
                Germans -- brought you Mozart, Bach and Schumann
                Germans -- they're a little superhuman

                Germans -- have respect for law and order
                Germans -- live on both sides of the border
                Germans -- in Berlin they have a wall
                Germans -- for playing tennis it't too tall

                The blond german Fräulains are pretty, but vain
                you say 'Guten Tag' and they say 'Auf wiedersehen'
                they're very hard workers, from monday to friday
                make love an the weekends, and yodel like Heidi

                Jawohl -- living in Germany is very nice
                we're masters of war, we've tried it twice
                and now we're on standby for World War III
                prost and auf wiedersehen, Germany!
