“I have an idea that the only thing which makes it possible to regard this world we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and then men create out of the chaos.”

It’s great to have this stuff all in one playlist!
After I saw Kraftwerk last week at the Museum of Modern Art I found myself wishing that I could see a similar sort of survey show for Can. This is pretty much impossible at this point - guitarist Michael Karoli died in 2001, and it’s hard to imagine that Jaki Liebezeit can…
I AM excited. The WTF blog is where I’m really getting my education.

I think nobody has pointed it out because they are too busy being sorry Mary moved out of her first apartment, surrounded by Rhoda in the attic and meddling Phyllis downstairs.

These aren’t “Ghetto Towers”. This was housing that was built for U of M students. Just happens that they got turned into public housing. This a slick, racist comment that deserves to be called out on. Are you fucking hipsters in the ghetto every time you go to a show across the street at the Triple Rock? Oh, but because a bunch of non-white people live there it’s ghetto, right?
Think before you type, people. And fuck off with your racist shit.
Where the hell are you from? Everyone I’ve ever met has called those buildings either “crack stacks” or “ghetto towers”.
So that makes it right, eh?
For the record: I’ve lived in Minneapolis for 30 of my 36 years in life. And, since “everyone” calls them those bigoted names, it’s correct right?
Learn some history. I know the history of this neighborhood. But since you use terms like “crack stacks” and “ghetto towers”, I should really take you seriously? Get a life.
FOR GOD’S SAKE ARE NONE OF YOU GOING TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS WHERE MARY TYLER MOORE LIVED ALREADY OR WHAT!
I wonder if his gf got him a sewing machine for Christmas because he wanted to be a tailor, too?
