Funnily enough I've got a photo of eine Geheimnis Maschine with an ex-member of Kraftwerk around here somewhere...

Man, I am just cranky as heck today and in order to de-crankify myself clearly I need photos of das Sex Objekt

I am not sure when I started fancying septuagenarian Germans with faces like potatoes and strange dye jobs but what makes you happy makes you happy so why should you not preserve the little happiness there is in the world. Oh Ralf you adorkable nerd.

I imagine actual Ralf's actual front sitting room looks pretty similar.

Look, Ralf has put it in writing: the robots are responsible for groupies.
How do I become a groupie?

Lookit this disgustingly geriatric sex objekt with his crepey skin and his old man jowls and his annoyingly perky blue eyes and his freckles and when did I start fancying old men but uuuuhhhhhhhhhh

Oughtn't to be allowed. Being so sexy at his age, good god there should be a law against that or something. Besmirching my good pure mind with his filth. Make it stop.

I am aware that Ralf has feelings on this.

The rest of the interview is just Ralf being typical "Ja it is difficult to play with click but we merge with our machines I think soon" Ralf but mine eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw that!

But the funny thing is, since I posted it, Tumblr keeps showing me the post and suggesting I follow myself?

Oh, nice article, thanks.

Aaah, the Singing Typewriter one I've seen before. But not the drum pads ones that Wolfgang says he invented and they stole from him.
Thank you for this!

I know German is a funny language but the idea that Ralf lived on "animal garden" street* makes me laugh probably far more than it should.
*yes I know it means "zoo"
Awwwww, Ralf-paws.
