Shoudl I start an aerobics class where we dress like and work out to Kraftwerk?

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:36 (twenty-two years ago)

The answer to this is obviously yes.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I would pay money to see this happen.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

whoa, absolutely

― maura (maura), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Ned, come to my Kraftwerkout class, just send $100, and I'll tell you when and where it's taking place.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I pay Hanle y Deus or no one.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Curses!

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Mike, this could be a huge deal. Losing My Edge music-themed workout classes! I'm remembering this thread. expect royalty checks!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

The Andrew WK workout would be good, I think.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

attendees would have to sign a whiplash waiver

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 February 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Andrew WK workout = pretty much any Fired Up! or Jazzercise class.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 27 February 2003 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

How about the fey UK post-punk musician workout (ie Robert Smith, Bernard Sumner, Morrissey, etc) where you twirl around and forlornly flap your arms?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 27 February 2003 23:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Got to be better than the Bobby Gillespie JunkieFlop Ab Crunch.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 28 February 2003 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Spit Aerobics with Iggy Pop!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 28 February 2003 00:11 (twenty-two years ago)

um, you guys know about Punk Rock Aerobics, right?

― hstencil, Friday, 28 February 2003 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I've never thought of Bernard Sumner's antics as fey.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 28 February 2003 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

they're certainly not macho

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 28 February 2003 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Duelling crucifixion poses with I. McCulloch and J. Cope. Winner stamps on loser's shades atop Glastonbury Tor.

― suzy (suzy), Friday, 28 February 2003 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Olympic Shoegazing anyone?

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 28 February 2003 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, I think Barney does put on a bit of machismo. Watch the "State of the Nation" video, his performance is kind of athletic.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 28 February 2003 00:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the idea of working out doesn't sit well with people becuase its no fun, in fact its a loathesome bag of dead infant octopuses rotting in the dump. SO, I have been trying to think up a way to make it more enjoyable. I also would like to host " Wake Me Up" THis would be an hour of aerobics to the song "Wake Me up Before You GOGO". By the end you would be insane and very happy and fit.

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Friday, 28 February 2003 00:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Mike, that sounds like some kind of horrible ancient torture technique. Can I use that for my class project on torture?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 28 February 2003 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I wanna hit that HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH, yeah yeah!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 28 February 2003 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm with ned ... i'd kill to see a Kraftwerk work-out, led by Hanle y in one of those bright-red shirts that Rolf und Florian are sportin' on man machine!

― Tad (llamasfur), Friday, 28 February 2003 01:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, I would attend Hanle y's kraftwerkout.

We do a crucifixion-off at the end of my Saturday class only they play acid house or something. I crack up when I suddenly hear 606es busting out in the middle of a class.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 28 February 2003 01:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It woudl be good to workout while wearing a tie

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Friday, 28 February 2003 01:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Serious and true statement: My mom used to work out listening to a tape that was nothing but the Proclaimers 500 Miles over and over again. Both sides of the tape. This is like 90 minutes of "And I would walk 500 miles then I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walks a thousand miles to fall down at your doooor LA LA LA LA LALALALA etc" over and over and over.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 28 February 2003 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

*head just popped*

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 28 February 2003 04:21 (twenty-two years ago)

when i exercise i repeat bangalter & falcon's 'so much love to give' in my head over and over aagin

― minna (minna), Friday, 28 February 2003 05:32 (twenty-two years ago)

It would be weird to workout to a tape loop of George W . Bush saying a phrases while firing a shotgun at a stump with a picture of Barney.

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Friday, 28 February 2003 06:51 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

REVIVE BECAUSE THIS WOULD BE THE BEST THING EVER.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 11 April 2003 20:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Only if you got to wear black suits to the workout, and tear off the legs and sleeves

― Millar (Millar), Friday, 11 April 2003 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

That's the Interpol class.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 11 April 2003 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

no you wear red shirts and robot-makeup to the Kraftwerkout. just like on menschmaschine. everyone knows that!

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 12 April 2003 00:35 (twenty-two years ago)

another thing -- you get to choose between Servotron or Ladytron as yer personal trainers!

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 12 April 2003 00:44 (twenty-two years ago)

three months pass...

Still best thing ever.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 24 July 2003 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I have decided that Alec Empire's The Destroyerout is better but I am also on different drugs than most folks

― Millar (Millar), Thursday, 24 July 2003 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

i think that the pleasure principle and dare are also fab workout music.

― Tad (llamasfur), Thursday, 24 July 2003 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I've walked by a gym recently where someone had just opened the door and within that second, I heard the loudest FRANKIE GOES TO WORKOUT I've ever heard. "Relax" was the song. It was, like, frickin' loud.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 24 July 2003 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, Frankie Goes to HOLLYWORKOUT, of course

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 24 July 2003 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

REVIVE!

― Tad (llamasfur), Thursday, 21 August 2003 23:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Why is this concept so inconceivable? I used to do this all the time.

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 22 August 2003 00:05 (twenty-one years ago)

the reason why it's such a great idea is that K-werk's music is so basically calm--it's mid-tempo, never too fast, and if you avoid "Metal on Metal" the synths are mostly pretty soothing, so you wouldn't feel rushed the way you do with lots of hi-NRG stuff that aerobics instructors use. someone really does need to start it.

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 22 August 2003 00:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Paperclip People's Secret Tapes Of Dr. Eich is still the best workout record ever

― Millar (Millar), Friday, 22 August 2003 01:58 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm going to quit the legal profession and start an exercise salon devoted to just kraftwerkouts. it is my life's calling!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 27 October 2003 07:02 (twenty-one years ago)

How come you and me are the only people who ever post consistently to this thread and revive it? Why are we the only people who care about Kraftwerkout? Are we, you know, weird or something?

― Allyzay, Monday, 27 October 2003 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

That is not your life's calling! Your life's calling is to get banned from the UN, and you did it in 1998! Don't you remember your infamous address to the assembled body entitled, "The Search for Weapons of Mass Destruction....IN MY ASS!"?

You made the Ambassador from Luxemborg spill his tea!

Ralf Hütter: Man and machine becoming an entity. Man, who moves by his own efforts, in co-operation with a machine ... Many people from the music business have burnt themselves out. We, however, are full of energy.

― Baaderist (Fabfunk), Monday, 27 October 2003 15:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I forgot I told the Proclaimers story on this thread. Arrgh. I had a nightmare about that song just last night.

apropos to nothing, i was re-reading the scarface thread just now and i noticed that, like you, i thought that miccio's idea of throwing marlon brando offa bridge and watching him explode in mid-air would have made the godfather (more) awesome.

i.e., WE SOMETIMES THINK A LOT A LIKE!!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you both engaged to Patrick Swayze?

― Nicolars (Nicole), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:16 (twenty-one years ago)

well, i once wanted to be the most bad-assed economist ever. till i flunked econometrics and changed my major.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I am not engaged to Patrick Swayze, goddamnit.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Why not? When are you going to have his baby?

― Nicolars (Nicole), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:28 (twenty-one years ago)

patrick swayze baby = comes outta the womb with a full early-nineties mullet!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I refuse to have Patrick Swayze's baby! I don't want to even think about what that would look like.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:31 (twenty-one years ago)

ally and swayze, sittin in a tree ...

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Ugh gross, wtf people.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:34 (twenty-one years ago)

i am SO gonna bring an old cabbage patch doll with a mullet-wig to the geeta-fest ... and it shall be dubbed "the patrick swayze baby!"

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll pay you money if you do that. Also I will take all the photos.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:37 (twenty-one years ago)

and a fez ... the patrick swayze baby shall sport a mullet and a fez!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay I'm just wondering what kind of lawyer has an old cabbage patch doll and a mullet wig and a fez lying around handy. That shit doesn't make any damn sense at all.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Jersey lawyers, obviously.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i wish that i had taken a law school exam that dealt with cabbage patch dolls, mulletheads, and fezes. shit knows that there were law review articles that made about as much sense.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:51 (twenty-one years ago)

The Kraftwerkout.avi all over p2p file sharing networks is the only way for occident to save face after Al-Jazeera's "Obese Americans feed on diet of death" infotainment dis!

I remember mildly freaking out whilst reading a Kraftwerk biog that mentions their love for biking (well mainly ralf and florian) , drinking coffee in late night cafes and DISCO DANCING.

DISCO DANCING.

Kraftwerk disco dancing, I mean, yeA! C'mon!

― mzui, Tuesday, 1 June 2004 10:00 (twenty-one years ago)

WTF, I finally read this thread and I found out it isn't real. That punk rock workout thing can eat my ass, this rules.
