yeah, the line about Capt Kangaroo made me like "Flowers on the Wall" when I was but a wee lad.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:14pm

I watched some Captain kangaroo when I was small (five years ago ...) but my main jam was The Friendly Giant. Possibly solely a Canadian or PNW thing but I loved him. Such a gentle show :-)

Well, it's weird because 30 years ago the culture wasn't much different than it is today. But look how the culture changed from 1950 to 1980. Head-spinning.

Did Chicks on Speed do it too? Cool. Might be later. Original was 1979 by Delta 5.

My wife only heard the Delta 5 a year ago and she's completely obsessed with that song. It's possibly her favorite song of all time.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:25pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@joe - there's an also an interview somewhere with the model about the whole process and how she ended up glued solid for hours! Apparently the honey and the hot studio lights created a basic solid toffee. They spent something like three very careful hours ungluing her so as not to damage her skin. Ouch! Astounding cover image there. :-)

That "I Will Survive" was amazing, even if I am still traumatized by having to square dance with my class mates in grade school who were absolutely disgusted with the idea of having to actually touch me. Having said that, I do prize my square-dance "Tiny Bubbles" record.

Kraftwerk were all over KROQ when "Computer World " came out. When they'd play LA it was in huge venues like the hollywood Bowl. Living here def gave me a skewed perspective

Some friend in High School gave me an 8-track of Autobahn (that his dad no longer wanted) because I told him I had an 8 track player and I played that tape to death. I still expect that ka-THUNK, switching tracks sound right in the middle of the title track when I listen to it to this day.

I remember seeing Kraftwerk LPs in Musicland as a teenager but they were expensive imports which NEVER went on sale.

Thank you. I play Computer Love on my Autoharp a lot.

yeah it's hard for me to imagine a world without kraftwerk now. I mean they might be my fave band or very close. but for the first 20 years of my life I never got to hear them.

When I first moved to Portland and had a graveyard job this coworker from Chicago who was really into music was like, "You've never heard of Kraftwerk?" And totally took pity on me.. schooled me on all that stuff and beyond

I love Computer World. I know there's this Kraut snobbery thing that tends to look down on their 70s, Emil Schult inspired era, but I love it.

If you can find it, that Kraftwerk and the Electronic Revolution documentary is quite good. Really long, but very good.

@MB - Just looked it up: ""Here Comes the Night" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was originally released on their 1967 album, Wild Honey. In 1979, the song was re-recorded and released on their 1979 album, L.A. (Light Album), as a disco song lasting nearly eleven minutes."

It's kind of a minimal techno version of the original

I'm guessing Mike Love is aching to do this version on tour....

Well, this is the instrumental version, so you don't have to suffer along with Brian.

this is more influenced by contemporary hip hop from the way the beats are programmed so that's funny to me as someone who always goes at it from the late80s/90s side

Totally, I catch that. It's a 'fresh' perspective.
