I came across this post on Filter 27, Coachella 2008: Lineup announced.  I am not usually a fan of these pop-style festivals, but I noticed in the small print that Kraftwerk would be playing.  I was excited to say the least....  but not quite excited enough to brave showing up at Coachella.  Too bad it's on the other side of the continent.

The real point is that Kraftwerk will be there.  For anyone who'd like some more info on Kraftwerk, here are some links to explore.  And definitely track down their live DVD from 2004.  It's pretty much the cat's pajama's when it comes to minimal techno/electronic music.   Not to mention that they're the pioneers of most synth based music.

*Please note that I don't condone any MySpace activities, but I do appreciate this sweet electro quartet, so I have compromised my beliefs for their artistry.
