Thr most laughable thing about this is the idea of a new Kraftwerk album.

🅡🅞🅑 🅜🅔🅢🅤🅡🅔 @robmesure.bsky.social · 1d

Just going to assume the next Kraftwerk album is called Dynamische Preisgestaltung, or something.

A screenshot, pinched from @stevejvickers.bsky.social, showing ludicrously high ticket prices for a Kraftwerk gig.

Day 10: vampire.

Roky Erikson - Night Of The Vampire.

He probably never got paid for playing at ATP, but as he said, he was there so fuck it he might as well do it.

Also, why is it so focused on guitarists? What about Little Walter? Little Milton? Jelly Roll Morton? Washboard Sam?

It just amazes me that Jamie Carragher played professional England football matches.

This is the maddest tour I've ever seen in my life. It seems like he's doing more gigs than there are days in the year.

A quite insane tour schedule
