(313) coldplay and kraftwerk

2006-02-12 Thread Dr. Lester K Spence
I've been trying to send this message for a few days now...hopefully  
it'll get through this time out.


was watching the grammy's and caught coldplay's performance.  the  
only reason i know their name is because my daughter id'd them for  
me.  (damn i'm getting old.)


anyway, the melody sounded familiar to mewhen it hit me.   
Computer World by Kraftwerk.


I don't know the name of the Coldplay track, but I was wondering if  
anyone else had caught this?

There's actually an obvious mash-up on the internets now.  Search for  
Party Ben and Computer Talk.  Or Best of Booties 2005.

I met him at the DEMF, can't remember which one, and he struck me not like 
other musicians. Not only for his creativity which I have enjoyed through Hip 
Hop/Rap, but for the very humble seeming person he was. Very polite, and very 
well spoken. I can't say I know him very well, but that music, that music that 
made Quest's and De La Soul's words timeless. He's not gone, the music lives on.

We have some good friends who have been similarly inflicted.
Coldplay is, for them, the pinnacle of music.
Other than scheduling Eman Laerton to talk to them, there isn't much you 
can do. http://www.youhavebadtasteinmusic.com/
I have liked worse things, I'm sure (well, I said that to appear 
reasonable, but I have liked some pretty cheesy stuff in my day).
My brother-in-law got married last Novenmber. As we both understand we 
have some snarkiness inside regarding these things, he
confidentially mentioned to me that as he was moving her stuff from her 
place to his, he had finally gotten a complete look at her CD
racks and he hated everything in it. Tough spot. Often I have found that 
people whose tastes reside in the mainstream just need a little exposure.
Of course, some of us are driven towards that aorta and some are content 
with a distant pulse. Also, one person's aorta is another person's 
(searching for the
proper medical term to complete the metaphor. It isn't coming..) 
shpincter - or something. I guess that's one of the things which makes 
the world go 'round.
Far be it from me to attempt to construct a philosophy of aesthetics 
based on objective grounds on a mailing list. ;-)

I'd rather start the fray and then sit back and watch.

When I was typing the message originally, I thought it was LOVE  
rather than World.  Age i tell you...AGE.


Anyway, it's good to know I'm not...is daft the word?  I figured that  
someone'd discussed it here and I missed it.  Like I'd have known who

I watched it from Berlin and that's how it was too.

Compatibility isn't always about similarity.
I used to be in an industrial/synth outfit (briefly) about 25 years ago 
wherein one of the other members who was this really intense 
stared-too-long-stood-too-close-wore -leather-stuff Plasmatics fan type 
married a paradigmaticmatic tupperware woman who was into Air Supply.

Life is full of such mysteries. I could not have written one better.
