From: "Glenn Folkvord - Hyperion Media" <glenn(a)folkvord.net> > Music research shows that women generally prefer music with lyrics hm ... what kind of "music research" are u talkin' about here , glenn , as this is news to me & i like to have a source to verify it !!! can u provide us with a link or somethin' then ??? *pure_curiosity* > (with emphasis on *generally* - there are many exceptions). EXACTLY_!!! ;-) > Even if song lyrics talk about things of typical interest to men, > they are more likely to appeal to women than instrumental songs. sorry , but this simply doesn't make any sense to me , as i've witnessed with my own eyes that some women that i know are more attracted by a good melody they can hum along than by certain lyrics , of what kind soever !!! *G+* ;-) therefore i have to completely agree with my dear ( & of course female ;-) friend pat slade from the states here !!! *oh_jay_waves_very_friendly_over_to_pat* :-))) anyway ... as long as men & women like to listen to kw , there's nothin' wrong with them , imho !!! *hehehe* ;-))) btw : have u ever heard of a serial killer , who loves to listen to kw instead of ... erm ... marylin manson ( only for instance , of course !!! *slyest_grin* ;-))) , fellows ??? *BWG* ;-))) however ... many greetinx , oh jay ;-) *~\^/~*

Not only a Guy Thing

More women are probobly fans of KW than THEY realize. There are plenty of parts of KW played in mixes in clubs. Also, there are alot of KW snippets played on the radio all the time. If NPR does a piece about Germany or technology, they almost always play apart of a KW song between news stories. Sometimes maybe a Balenescu version. Also, a news story about online matchmaking will get some KW in the background. One day I heard four songs in between pieces on NPR in one day! Autobahn is constantly heard in the background of traffic reports. There were loads of women at the last NYC show. And many different nationalities. All age groups. I think the idea of music appealling to one gender more than another (except for creepy death-speed metal) is silly. You like what you like. Does Annie Lennox,Clanaad or the Cranberries have a substantially larger fan base of women than men? Probably not. But guys may not boast about being big fans :) This last paragraph is also silly, but then again maybe alot of women KW fans don't admit it for fear of seeming geeky. Tom

Femme machine

I don't see why there wouldn't be female KW fans. There is nothing 'male' specific about the music they make, perhaps only The Man Machine mentions 'Man', but in German the lyric talks about a 'Mensch' (human). The word 'Man' in Expo 2000 should be understood with the same meaning, I think. I once read a theory that The Model was their most popular track because the song combined 'tech' music with 'human' lyrics'. This way of thinking links 'tech' with male and 'human' with female. I'm not too sure. Apart from those tracks, only Sex Object has remotely to do with gender. So there are no clues or messages to make KW and all male boys club. Why shouldn't women and girls like good music? I presume that KW fans come in all shapes, sizes, genders, colours etc. And I for one, am very pleased with that.

I've been to several Kraftwerk Concerts over the years and they have always been attended by many more ladies than I had thought (even though they are still in the minority within the audience) This lead me to conclude that they are just a little more "discreet" about their liking of the group ;o) Though during the concerts they are as wild as any of "us" males *he he*... hey... they even go as far as giving flowers to Florian during the show (now... does anyone here know which show that was? *smiles*... errrr... please don't ask me for the answer... I have it on video somewhere but can not for the life of me remember which one right this moment) *waves @ all the ladies on the list* *special smile for pat* Keep Werking John www.keepwerking.co.uk
