The good folks at Pitchfork have, in their words, “scoured YouTube” for the best fan videos from Kraftwerk’s eight-night retrospective, which wrapped up Tuesday night. We were lucky enough to get tickets to see them play The Man-Machine in its entirety, but for those of you who missed out, or if you’re just looking Read More
Here’s an unfamiliar scene from the front entrance of the Museum of Modern Art last Friday: a shady looking bald man was saying, “You got any extra tickets?” sounding more like he was trying to score meth; directly next to him, a sulking man with a large frame tucked into a baggy hooded sweatshirt shouted, “Tickets! Tickets! Tickets!” Read More
The eight-night Kraftwerk retrospective of MoMA–the great white whale of museum concerts that it seems like only two people got tickets for–will be happening this month. Just so you know, we’ll be fahr’n, fahr’n, fahr’n auf der Autobahn alone in our apartment. Read More
If you’re like us, you probably spent about an hour staring at a computer screen hoping to buy tickets to see Kraftwerk’s Trans Europe Express, part of MoMA’s eight-night retrospective in which the electronic pioneers will play all of their albums in chronological order.

Some people don't have very much "Computer Love" in their hearts after being locked out of getting tickets for Kraftwerk's forthcoming MoMA residency.

Something about "Showroom Dummies" here.]
Truth be told, there's still a way to get into the shows: The Gloriously Sleazy Secondary Market of Craigslist. Read More
We almost didn’t want to tell any of you this–in the spirit of competition–but in about one hour, tickets will go on sale for the MoMA Kraftwerk retrospective. They can only be purchased at the below link. We have received the following message from the show’s organizer and MoMA’s chief curator-at-large, Klaus Biesenbach. Read More
Because honestly, why the hell not? These guys look like action figures. And they have a retrospective coming to MoMA in April, and it sounds awesome. Also: in a courageous act of investigative journalistic integrity, these captions are…made up. By me. Sorry. Kraftwerk probably use more exclamation points in my mind than they do Read More
