While revisionist history is lovely (I so enjoy a good fairytale) and history is written by the victors, the first world war was in no way the fault of the Germans, they were dragged unwillingly into the conflict by their mutual defense agreement with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Arch Duke Ferdinand was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, therefore the Austro-Hungarians invaded Serbia (the had always coveted the Balkans). Then the Russians who had a pact with Serbia armed and marched to their defense, at which point Germany was dragged deeply unwillingly into the conflict by the pact with Austria-Hungary. Then the British and French declared war on the central powers and it was all on.
They should all be branded for Milli Vanilli though.

Not to mention Kraftwerk.Without those offspring of unwilling participates in the first World War( also known as The Great War and The War to End All Wars) I might not have to suffer through that Electronic Music shite now.
Or possibly the Austrians or the Hungarians are really behind that as well.

Well that is where the road differs for us, Kraftwerk were truly pioneers in terms of what later became 'industrial muzik' in Germany and Holland and were experimenting with analogue synthesisers long before sampling or the fairlight computer saw the light of day. Each tone was created and integrated into the whole, and they integrated different devices into the recordings and experimented pushing the edge further than anyone before. I still have my original LP copies of The Man Machine and Computer World along with works by Vangelis, Art Of Noise and of course Jean Michel Jarre.
Hair standing on end yet ?
You know sending explosives through the mail is illegal don't you?

Clever, Arty. Very clever.
I wish I'd thought of posting about stuff from the before time in an observational manner, so it would surreptitiously add a decade or two to my age so that Squeams would send me a pic of her bewbs also.

I think that's what I meant when I said electronic shite.:unsure:
Re: Last one to post wins the internets
You have to give the Germans credit for being able to express their perpetual grouchiness in as few (repetitive) words as possible. And, with 20M hits, I'd say make it cool, too.

The movie still bombed spectacularly at the box office and is on target to lose over $200 million dollars.
Assuming that "no" in fact means "me" in the post above, I went ahead and wrote something in that waystation between the internet at large and the BT section where the crackheads like to post about how they've watched twilight/the hangover/some other crap, and now have no thoughts left in their heads, or something.
