"We are the children of Fritz Lang and Werner Von Braun. We are the link between the ’20s and the ‘80s. All change in society passes through a sympathetic collaboration with tape recorders, synthesizers and telephones. Our reality is an electronic reality." - Kraftwerk

Tumblr media
And it rolls like thunder and it hits like lightnin'
When you're going under, it lifts you up again
Right now that kick drum feels like a heartbeat
I'll start falling for that long lost melody
And I'll find out who it is I'm supposed to be
I put the radio on
Saving myself with a song
I find the strength to move on
There in the moment I'm strong
I put the radio on
- kylie minogue, radio on
I loved this song the first time I heard it, but it gained extra resonance since I discovered The Amazing Devil, because this is exactly how their music makes me feel. As such, there's a tiny TAD Easter egg/tribute in this flake to a certain part of TAD's music that gets me every single time and it's low-key TAD fanart as well as for Kylie.

Radio On is a 1979 film directed by Christopher Petit. It is a rare example of a British road movie, shot in black and white by Wim Wenders' assistant cameraman Martin Schäfer. In it, a man drives from London to Bristol to investigate his brother's death. The protagonist is a disc jockey at a radio station based on the United Biscuits Network, which broadcast to factories owned by United Biscuits.

Radio On (Christopher Petit, 1979)
Cast: David Beames, Lisa Kreuzer, Sandy Ratcliff, Andrew Byatt, Sue Jones-Davies, Sting, Sabina Michael, Katja Kersten, Paul Hollywood. Screenplay: Christopher Petit. Cinematography: Martin Schäfer. Art direction: Susannah Buxton. Film editing: Anthony Sloman.
The road movie is a modern version of the quest romance, tales whose protagonists set out in search of something and wind up discovering much about themselves and their world. The protagonist of Radio On is Robert, a radio disc jockey who sets out from London in his somewhat unreliable car on a journey to Bristol to find out the truth about his brother's recent death. Along the way he encounters various people in various states of alienation, including a deserter from the British army, an aspiring musician, and a German woman whose husband has left her, taking their 5-year-old daughter with him to England. Robert's trip is underscored by music on the radio, including such '70s artists as David Bowie, Kraftwerk, and Devo, but also by the news, which tells of a Britain plagued with labor problems and the unrest in Northern Ireland. The film owes much to the road movies of Wim Wenders, like Alice in the Cities (1974) and Kings of the Road (1976), which isn't surprising, since Wenders is credited as an associate producer and Martin Schäfer, who was an assistant cameraman on those films, is the cinematographer for Radio On. The film is a melancholy treat for those willing to absorb the essence of a period when the world seemed to be coming apart at the seams. In the end, Robert abandons his quest and his car, taking the train back to London. As Pogo might put it, He has met the anomie and it is his.
