Understatement of the year Talk is basically an homage to Kraftwerk. It's been an odyssey. Kraftwerk's "Radioactivity" in 1976 Fast forward to 1991: Wasn't until I saw them in 2004 and they made it explicit what the robot was saying: Fast forward to 2019 and they're no longer mentioning Hiroshima because, well, that one was intentional. That was some bleak-ass shit.Coldplay used a section from Kraftwerk's Computer Love in their hit Talk
Thanks for putting that sequence together - hearing the evolution of a single song like that was awesome.
Man, you shoulda seen it. It was the Hollywood Bowl, the shittiest, most pretentious venue I have ever been to, and they're rolling into Radioactivity, and everyone's hootin' and hollerin' like polite yuppies who pay for valet and get a wine and cheese tray delivered to their box seats and then Fu Ku Shi Ma And you coulda heard a pin drop. It was like ohhhh, fuck. This is what they were talking about all those years.
