They received my ballot, but haven't opened it yet. I mailed it about 10 days before the election, so... WTF?

"It drives the liberals crazy" is about all the right wing has for a platform at this point.

@7 - There's a longer segment on NEU! in the full-length that got cut from this clip.

@5 - I think I might have a contact who can hook me up. I feel the same way about early Tangerine Dream. BTW, I managed to find a bootleg of the whole documentary. Hint: http://www.getmiro.com/ gives you a player that can search for and download videos - you'll find it there until it's gone.

that said, Kraftwerk absolutely belong in this documentary.

DavidG commented on Faust Among Equals: BBC's Krautrock Doc.
Dammit! Kraftwerk, while perhaps the most famous "krautrock" band, are in my opinion by far the least interesting. Not totally irrelevant, obviously, but influence != greatness, and their music just doesn't stand the test of time for me the way Faust or Can do, and I find their machine-centric philosophy superficially interesting, but in the final analysis, just plain superficial. So I wish the rest of the documentary were available so we could see others. As noted in the video, after NEU! branched off Kraftwerk weren't really "krautrock" anymore anyways, and it's sad that Kraftwerk continue to be for many people the most emblematic "krautrock" band.

DavidG commented on Why Did the State Release the Viaduct Video—A Week Before the Election?.
@29 - so? It's valid for Chris Gregoire or Joe Mallahan (or, hell, the whole WSDOT) to have an opinion on viaduct replacement, but not for Cary Moon? what's your point, exactly?

DavidG commented on Headline of the Day.
Still waiting on reason #1 why any of this makes Mallahan's attempt to purchase the Mayor's office after never having lifted a finger for the city or any civic affairs until now credible...
