EarWax: An Amoeba Podcast
Hosts Hilary and Cody chat about new releases and in-store events, so you are always up to date on the goings on of the world's largest independent record store.
Each week, we tell the story of one particular album. How was it made? Where does it exist in our history? What effect did it have then, and how does it affect us today?
EarWax is two longtime record store clerks doing what we do best - learning about and sharing the stories behind the albums we love.
EarWax: An Amoeba Podcast
Ep. 71: Kraftwerk - Computer World
No B.S., let's get to business. Kraftwerk. EarWax. Computer World.
Hilary and Cody discuss the group, the music, the theory and ideas around one of Germany's finest exports - Kraftwerk. Computer World is relevant today because it touches on so much of the conversation that has risen to dominate our culture.
Data. Computers. Numbers. Travel. People. Money. This is the record that addresses how these all interact, and what we are to make of them.
Kraftwerk saw the future in the present, and this record illustrates just how efficiently they can comment on it.
