Hola Berenice,

Glad to read you had a great time this weekend. All those musical chaps are totally unknown to me but one: Kraftwerk. Years and years ago I listened to "Radioactivity". So these guys are still alive and kicking in California.

You don't know the chance you have to be where you are. And you are there without having to pay for it, that's a huge difference compared to me and us. We would be obliged to shell out hundreds of Dollars to achieve this result...........ha, ha, ha

Because while you listened to all those sounds, we had here a totally different tune: clap, clap, clap and then boum, boum, over and over again. It rained, it thundered and the summer temp fell into the cellar.

Cheers nevertheless

Georg

hola herr Georg, yeah! i am famous for liking unknown musicians ;) although, these are pretty well-known, even if not by you :)
and yes! i know it's expensive to live here, and somehow i do pay the price! 'cause i have NO home of my own, i do rent a very small place, and i have to work A LOT of hours during the week to be able to live here... so somehow we Californians do pay for the sun tax... still, i rather live here than my prior city, Mexico City, where there's about 20 million mexicans, tons of traffic and violence! a wonderful city but with many issues, it's way easier though expensive to live in California, also i am lucky i was born here and have dual citizenship Mexican and American, i guess i am a lucky girl, only i do have to work A LOT!! at least 40 hours per week, PLUS training/school for my career, so my weeks to into 60 to 70 hours of work :(

cheers herr Georg!

hi dear Geisslein, yeah!! i really like Kraftwerk, they are somehow popular (or were) here in the US, i have seen them twice in concerts in California, once in Los Angeles, and then in a music festival named Coachella... they play their old songs like Autobahn, Robots, etc. but their electronic music sounds some times more modern than now-a-days bands! also every time they put a fantastic visual show! usually is the 4 of them behind their laptops but with superb visuals and screens behind them... for example when they play their Tour de France they play that amazing video they made, etc. here's a sample of how Kraftwerk have evolved but still using their same old songs, these guys are fantastic!!

also on their Robots song, instead of being the members of the band singing, they place these actual Robots, people just love them!

and Geisslein, i really hope you make it to California one day, I will take you around

and once you are on this side of the Atlantic, do NOT forget to visit my original country Mexico, you'll like it even more than California ;)
