Anyone ever try typing the name Tom Gabel into the iTunes store? It's pretty funny. I wanted to see if they had a page set up for the EP yet.

yeah.. that david hasselhoff thingy really wan't funny!

Subject: Re: Tom Gaebel? Tue 07 Oct 2008, 4:59 am

Look, I know that not all Germans were into Hasselhoff's awful music. Just as long as you know that not all Canadians are into...well....most of the terrible music that comes out of Canada. Feist, or Alexisonfire, Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, or that one guy who wrote a country music album about the horse in military history. Ugh.

But Kraftwerk is awesome. Any country that can give the world Kraftwerk clearly has a superior culture. I'm serious. And I'm not saying that because my grandfather was a German expatriate.

the sad thing is i hardly know any ppl that were not into hasselhoffs awful music.. not superior at all Sad

i think kraftwerk was more popular outside of germany. probably because the lyrics make no sense at all (same with rammstein although they were pretty successful in germany too).

Well at least no one is into Hitler anymore. So that's good, right?

BEER!

Polish beer is best.

Not because it tastes good, but because it's the only legal alternative to mind altering hallucinogenics that I know of.

Ever have Polish beer? If not, don't.

zajebiste:

....Czech beer is about the same. But my wife is Polish, so I have to officially hate anything Czech. I don't know why, it's just how they are.

But I'm an American, and have to hate Europeans. And living in Canada, I have to hate Americans. And living in Alberta, I have to hate everyone. The obligations of the local culture are exhausting and complex.
