Found out yesterday that Klaus Dinger died last week...

Without him no Kraftwerk (and hence no hip-hop), no Neu!, no Berlin period Bowie etc etc...

Here he is (far right) with his band La Dusseldorf in 1978 after his irrevocable split with Neu! co-director Michael Rother...



So tonight, ensured all his music I have was on the jukebox and listened to the man and his motorik drumming once more...

Elsewhere "The Big Bang Theory" cleansed the eyeballs after watching Celtic beat Rangers 2-1 with a goal in the 93rd minute - poetic justice of course as a certain goal for the 'Tic had earlier been expertly palmed away from the top corner by the Gers' full back - resulting in a red card and a penalty subsequently saved...

Another pointless day...

Highlight of the Day : Remembering La Dusseldorf and Neu!
