Retrohump Day: Neon Lights
Surely I would not be so crass as to shoehorn more show hyping into our long standing Retrohump feature. Would I?
Oh, gentle readers, you are so naive.
Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you so thoroughly, but when shameless self promotion can join forces with our long standing love of minimalist Krautrock, and the faux robot men who made it happen, well, those are two great tastes that taste great shamelessly self promoting together.
Kraftwerk -"Neon Lights"
This is actually sort of a strange video for Kraftwerk, with the boy-bots giggling and pal-ing around silently behind the cavalcade of glimmering signs. It was not often that they let their image be anything less than completely mock mechanical.
Funny, with the cynical attitudes everyone has towards commercial interests and music, I bet if this were made today everyone would just assume that the giant Mercedes symbol at the end was a pay off. In truth, everyone knows it was really bankrolled by Giant Nude Fraulein Silhouette LLC.
