Portishead show Vancouver how to occupy... existentially.
Coldplay held a press conference yesterday to launch their new album Fido Dido, and Gordon went along . That it was in Madrid might have added to the allure. One of the big surprises was that Brian Eno tried hypnotising the band during the recording sessions: Bass player Guy Berryman admitted yesterday that the band have reached a stage where they are open to outrageous ideas from the talented team around them to tap into new writing veins. I'd have thought that was an admission they've more or less run out of steam, isn't it? [...]

It's moving weekend, for the first time in over 6 years. I'm not really equipped to go into the emotional details of that process right now, if only because the logistical ones are enough of a mindful. Times like this—trying to make yourself as mobile as possible and gauging the true weight of your possessions—it's best to surround yourself with music that feels like home. Even in German, this is one I can wrap myself in as I alter my center of gravity. Kraftwerk - Computer Liebe

![Kraftwerk And The Electronic Revolution [Documentary]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3745403_lg.jpg)
As innovative as they are influential, Kraftwerk's contribution to the development of electronic music since their formation in 1970 remains unsurpassed. Having inspired everyone from Bowie to Coldplay, Siouxsie to Radiohead, this bizarre collective have also proven partly responsible for entire genres to develop - Electro, House and Synth Pop to name but three. This documentary reviews the career and music of Kraftwerk, from their inception in the late 1960s (as pre-Kraftwerk ensemble Organization), through their most celebrated period in the mid 1970s, and culminating with their resurgence during the 1980s with the popularity of Synth Pop and Electro.
