Some of the new (or old, depending on your outlook on things) footage can be seen on this German news item - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq2Uc61YRMY Unfortunately my German is terrible so I have no idea what they're saying but I think the gist is the same as the article.

This is surely a bit misleading, is it not? I mean granted it's the first "computer" music in the modern sense of the word but if you consider the definition of what a computer is then this is not even remotely the first "computer music". I mean just off the top of my head the pianola/player piano could be considered "computer music" given that it is essentially a programmed musical device.

Sorry just a bit of daily nerd pedantry.

The interesting thing about the UFOs building pyramids "controversy" is that there are still so many being taught/led to believe that they were built by slaves - a theory generally discredited by archaeologists for a number of years now.

I don't care what anyone says. I loved Burnin' Rubber on that machine.

Rhis reminded me of a great article from a few years ago from Salon entitled "Spelunking the empire of death". It's all about the antics and rivalries of the cataphiles.

The nerd in me can't help but wonder how many women are in both lists. Instantly Susan Denberg came to mind.

I'm extremely surprised to see that the most obvious and by far the most famous example of Hammer Hotness appears to be missing?!?! Who could possibly forget such an image in such a list?!?
