Fw: [AH] Re: kraftwerk in australia
so one of the barmaids at work was telling us all about the weekend she had last weekend when she went to the big day out on the Gold Coast.
"Oh they had some good bands there, but they had too many unknowns, boring acts who don't put on a show at all - there was this one band called the craft workers who just all stood there in front of one turntable each"
When asked further, she said the music was "ok, but they just played covers of old songs".
I said "but Kraftwerk are to electronic music what Bob Dylan is to folk music" but I just got a blank stare.
I said "ok, like the Beatles are to pop music" "Oh they were nothing like the Beatles" ...
