Greg Kot Proclaims: Neu! Is Cool!
My friend John, who works in the office next door to mine, is a Neu! fan. On vinyl. So, this is for you, John. Greg Kot, who wrote the definitive book on Wilco, 'I Am Trying To Break Your Heart,' writes a regular column in the Chicago Tribune. A few days ago, he championed Neu!, the 1970s era Kruatrock pioneers, to his readers.
Good for you, Greg. Did you introduce it to Tweedy, too?
Neu! is cool. Enjoy!

Just went to see "Hallogallo 2010" (Michael Rother + friends) in Columbus last week - great show. Cheers!
