11. Neu!Neu! 2

I go to Amoeba Records, and this always stayed on top of the pile, and I went, "Fuck, I’ll pick it up". I know it’s a hipster record, so I’ll pick it up! I got the first NEU! album and then I got number two. I like the fact that it’s a couple of dudes from Kraftwerk, and I loved Kraftwerk. They made a wiseass task of it: they took a song and went with it, and then I guess they ran out of money! It turned into an, "Ah well, we ran out of money, you’re going to get this!"
