with mentions of the importance of Kraftwerk, Wolf Biermann, Can, Rammstein's
connection with Slovenians Laibach, and ending with Trio's "Da Da Da." - all of this
in the last 20 minutes of the show. It turns out that the woman he was interviewing
was originally from Britain, but moved to Germany for the "scene."
The woman was Robyn Hitchcock's daughter, Maisie.
I have no idea who that is, but I'll look into him... possibly if I have the time and remember. Steve is like a big ol onion, I guess. Many stinky layers, and good sliced up and sauteed with mushrooms and garlic. Had no idea he was syndicated on European radio. His story just gets better.
