old to semi-old celebrities you would travel back in time to have lots of sex with.

I AM NOT OK WITH THIS!!!

How can I be having these kinds of feelings for Ralf "King Dork" Hütter?

as far as i can see, nothing wrong with that, at all
ralf is totally begehrenswert

Hi drash, I don't think we know each other?

It's BAD because my obsessions tend to be a little... intense. Herr Hütter is probably not a good person to focus these fixations on as he seems a rather intense artist himself.

hi branwell, nice to meet you officially

i see. i sympathize. well, insofar as one has crush-taste for intense artists, this thread seems safe-ish place to indulge
time travel proviso frees ‘wd have lots of sex with’ criterion from consideration of whether that lots-o-sex wd be healthy for one or wise
(yes this actually crossed my mind when i made some choices itt)

Sorry, drash, I'm not explaining myself very well here. I am mainly disappointed in myself for this shameful crush.

Also, when I get a sexual fixation, I tend to be very...

...about it. And I think that other ILX users prefer if I were not encouraged in this behaviour?

As someone who considers themselves your friend, and has been on ILX with you for at least a decade, I have no idea what that gif means, so I'm not sure how the new guy is going to...?

It is Florian engaging in super-repetitive behaviour, pushing the same button over and over again in a loop.

Look, I'm sorry. This was clearly a mistake, never mind.

(understand re repetitive button-pushing; def get stuck in my own compulsive loops sometimes; sympathize)
(was just speaking for myself personally, i don’t mind those pics, but don’t mean & don’t want to encourage you or anyone in unhappy-making behavior, if you judge it to be so. cheers)

drash there used to be a video on youtube of that scene from Persona set to this but its since been removed :-(

John Doe circa 1980

Or ca 2003 tbh. John Doe standing in front of my table talking to Rhett Miller nearly caused my untimely demise sometime in the early 2000s.

Hmmmm, his nose is not quite pointed enough for me.

Florian Schneider has, I think, the most sharply pointed nose of any human on earth.

:^)

An endless Busby Berkley row of pointed noses.

Super-double bonus "travel back in time for" from my favourite film:

http://www.nycitywoman.com/files/imagecache/slideshow-in-article/JF-DH-Barbarella.jpg

Or would one be travelling into the future for Barbarella? I don't care; I'm going there. To play the orgasmatron.

Also, I've never heard the word "adorkable" applied to a man, but there really is no other word for them. I've got in trouble before for jizzing this all over ILX (warning: bigness) but I don't know if I want to have more of the sex with them or their massive piles of synthesisers here:

Electronic Artist You'd Most Like To Put In Your... Y'Know

http://www.kraftwerk.moxo.cz/images/fotogalerie/florian-schneider-1970.jpg

I have just been taught the phrase "die Rohr verlegen" for my epic KraftNeuClusterCan fan fic. Yes I would very much like to lay that piper, fnar.

Piper at the gates of... Y'know

clean-cut cyborg Kraftwerk > longhaired hippie Kraftwerk

imho

Your opinion is RONG.

Mind you, I'm not talking about which Kraftwerk I want to listen to, just which Kraftwerk I want to put in my... Y'Know.

I have a hard time separating their music from their appearance. I prefer my Deutsche Elektronische Musik to be sleek and sexless and fluteless, so I expect the same of their fashion choices (this applies to everyone but Ralf, who looked pretty much the same at all phases of their career). to be fair I might feel differently if I had any interest in putting Kraftwerk in my [MOD EDIT].

I did some googling to figure out whether Tangerine Dream had ever undergone a Kraftwerk-style makeover, but they never really stopped being shaggy hippie dudes, and it suited them somehow:

http://i.imgur.com/OHX5CpO.jpg?1
http://i.imgur.com/Yx49IIr.jpg?1

this applies to everyone but Ralf

oops, meant to say Florian

Well, Florian went from jaw-length hair and sideburns, to short hair, to no hair. So there's been some change. He's just so distinctive looking I think it's impossible for him to look like anyone else, no matter what styling he has.

But the thing is, I'm sorry, but... sexless? Fluteless, sure, I can understand how free jazz flute isn't to everyone's taste.

I have never understood why people called Kraftwerk's music sexless. OK, maybe the earlier experimental traffic cone stuff is a bit wibbly and rather sexless; Ananas Symphony isn't exactly a banger. But the *music* of the kind of classic period? Are you kidding me? It's dance music! It's incredibly sexy, even while it's austere and restrained - or perhaps that's why it's so sexy, because it's so repressed, it's practically dripping with sex. (And that's not even touching on the lyrical content - like, every hetero(ish) female Kraftwerk fan I've ever known has highlighted the same bits in Computer Love and The Robots - come on! "We are programmed just to do/Anything you want us to" like HELLO! - and so on.)

Sexless... if all that machine music on TEE isn't drop-dead sexy and if the romanticism of e.g. Neon Lights isn't drenched in emotion... well if that stuff isn't considered sexy, then quite frankly I'm not sure what sex is supposed to be.

Granted, this is not the best thread for this, perhaps I should just go and revive one of ILM's 8 billion Kraftwerk threads, but this has always confused me deeply.

Because I'm aware that not everyone wants to talk about Kraftwerk as much as I do right now, derailing to here:

Favourite Member of Kraftwerk (classic line-up)

Supersister are fast becoming one of my favourite prog bands and from looking at the sleeves of the albums I've become enchanted by the appearance of Robert Jan Stips. Slightly weird looking but also one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen.

That one guy looks uncannily like David Gilmour.

He does but I think Stips gets the edge for sweetness and prettiness.

OK, maybe the earlier experimental traffic cone stuff is a bit wibbly and rather sexless

i think this https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CLuvw4yWsAEixhy.jpg nsfw 1971 tour poster wishes to disagree but tbh i don't have an assessment of it besides 'O_o'

(i'll warn you in advance that it's not the good kind of nsfw you may be anticipating)

Oh no my phone really does not get along with photobucket so I am going to have to wait until tomorrow to see the pretty prog boy

Merdeyeux, I know exactly which poster you mean without having to click on the link, and all I can say to you is: that poster does not, to me, signify "sexy" but as the owner of a... Y'Know it signifies "OUCH OUCH OUCH THAT DOES NOT GO IN THERE!"
