Here you go, kids, one of Kraftwerk’s best. Back when Fuse used to be MuchMusic (before it was MuchMusic USA) they had a cool show called The Wedge, and they always played classic “alternative” tracks from the 70s and 80s. This is one of them.

Interesting that a group of well groomed Germans laid the groundwork for electro (hip-hop), industrial, synthpop and electronica years before those genres would break into the mainstream. Makes me proud to be about 90% German.

I never heard this song until I heard it at the Buddy Holly museum. Great stuff, this. So much music of today is jaded and joyless, so it’s always nice to hear these early rock’n’roll songs that are fun, funny and makes you feel good.

And Ritchie Valenz was only 17 when he died. Out of all rock star deaths, I’d say that Ritchie, Buddy & The Big Bopper might be the saddest.

One of the places I visited in Texas was the Buddy Holly museum. It was quite nice, though at the time I had no idea he died @ 22. I knew he died young, but not THAT young.
