[kj] OT: Gibson introduces world's first "robot guitar" line that tunes itself

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Hmm - why must people invent false dichotomies like this? (Quicksand's 
"Omission," which is an old song, vs. Rammstein's "Amerika," a 
relatively new one.) Can't we like'em both?

Maybe it's just me, but I notice the rammstein "Amerika" track never got 
much play in the US (that I heard). WONDER WHY. I think it came out in 
2003 right after the US attack on Iraq, maybe a year later at the most?

Americans don't like stuff like that. Anyway, Laibach always said 
"Rammstein is Laibach for kids, and Laibach is Rammstein for mature 
people." So maybe you can counter with that.
