Bus Style Activities – Clairo Columbus Concert Review 10-20-2024

Bus Style Activites – Clairo

Wes Flexner aka ANONANONANON

anonrocknroll radio playlist

If I’ve ever existed in a singer’s demographic…

I’m in Clairo’s….

I’ve played Clairo’s songs from the Carlisle singers’ newest album CHARMED from ANONROCKNROLL.

I’m Charmed by Clairo.

I took the 2 from Campus, and jumped off near the North Market.

Clairo walked out into the sold-out Kemba Pavilion in almost a prom dress.

The original of Wu’s, “Tears” boomed into the evening.

I stood around as teenagers and College kids were enamored at a brunette from Carlisle’s entrance.

Clairo sat on the stage and drank booze with Clairo’s band while the Wu-Tang original seemed like pure essence.

I was confused why Clairo and Clairo’s band were just sitting on the stage.

Until I realized Clairo was partaking in something I’ve done a zillion times..

Bumping WU and drinking….

Clairo is like if Fiona Apple’s peer is El Michel’s Affair instead of Alanis Morrisette.

Fiona Producer John Brion equals Leon Michels in our appreciation of women who make music with an ambition of satiating those who like Nina Simone but discovered Nina Simone died in 2003.

Except she’s much younger…

Clairo’s politics are of a progressive women who collects punk records..

She follows Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez on instagram…

She reminded me of punk girls I know…

Except instead of Punk records…

Clairo bumps records legendary rap producers sampled or would like sampling.

I’m certain Clairo owns a record player.

She’s down with the Big Crown Record community.

Big Crown is El Michal’s Affair’s label.

El Michel’s Affair covers Wu Songs with an intent of sounding Stax Records instead of Wu.

Big Crown releases music by The Roots’ Dave Guy, Lady Wray and others as well as El Michel’s Affair’s songs.

El Michel’s Affair works with Black Keys, and Black Thought of the Roots.

Clairo contains extended Columbus Culture…

I promise…

I stood their laughing because I’d walked into a sold-out venue and saw every young woman emulating someone who seemed like someone I would date.

Young women’s current role model is a pretty DSA lady who likes Vintage rap influences.

Clairo sipped a cocktail while I responded like that tape was worth 10 dollars while 10 scholars knew I would act like the…

Clairo’s and Clario’s band launched into NOMAD off of Charm.

Clairo’s band resembled a 1950’s or 1960’s band.

Clairo delivered purity. 

Clairo’s presence wasn’t of a iconic superstar.

She seemed like a young women whose political views and songs stumbled upon a stage in front of a sold-out outdoor pavilion.

Clairo’s presence appeared dazzled 5,200 people showed up while Clairo and Clairo’s band drank while bumping vintage sounds

Clairo seemed like she took a show in Columbus without knowing if people would attend.

She seemed liked an introverted, composed woman who felt relief she found understanding.

Clairo asked if we could Slow Dance with Clairo during Slow Dance…

Clairo’s flute player made you think of Andre 3000.

I realized the future of rap influence on non-rap music was doing something better than Nu Metal.

A bulk of music lessons any Hip Hop writer existed in dominated the stage from someone who 26 with a young audience.

Taylor Swift installed a record player in every young woman’s room.

Kamala Harris is playing Stevie Wonder and Mingus like I’m a freshman while figuring out records which are the essence of this dynamic culture.

Clairo was now making record digging part of a feminine allure.

Clairo played Terrapin about 9 songs in.

Her backdrop changed several

The lighting would change from a full-band with interesting instruments into illuminating Clairo as a starlet.

Clairo would walk over and played a classic keyboard.

Clairo seemed astonished and chagrined.

She thrifted this dress she thought was cute.

She owned some rare, weathered instrument which she thought was cool..

Clairo friends were really into cell phones..

Clairo owns a cellphone but thinks records, and instruments look and sound cool…

People thought Clairo was strange….

….For learning about something she wanted as a dream vocation.

Clairo played Amoeba which isn’t about Amoeba Record Store but still adds into truth: Vinyl outlasted the CD.

Clairo then sang, “Happy Birthday,”

It wasn’t my birthday but everything felt like I’m celebrating my birthday.

Who would’ve known…

Clairo jumped into van um…a tourbus…

5,200 people showed up…

It was funny the amount of women who resembled Clairo everywhere.….

I feel like comparing Clairo and Erykah Badu wouldn’t be exact…

Clairo’s prom dress changed into raincoat while crooning anonanonanonanon and on in front of a cosmic backdrop.

I discovered this song name: 4 Eva.

Clairo felt like if Badu and BJORK were a shy suburban girl who liked Jane Birkin ….and made bedroom pop..

Clairo’s show was already the quality Charm implied.

Clario soon launched into Sexy2Someone which is about a need for coveting.

Bustown’s outdoor pavilion sung along.

Clairo’s show finale was Juna.

Clairo entered with a cocktail while conjuring Wu.

Clairo left the stage after playing Clairo’s most popular songs.

I walked into the Short North while looking at Kamala voting signs.

Bushalte Stelle Abenteuer – Kraftwerk
By Wes Flexner aka anonanonanon
wesflexner@anonrocknroll.com

I received an email. Kraftwerk at Express Live Friday May 17. I pondered….who would open for Kraftwerk?

https://columbusfreepress.com/article/bushelle-stelle-abenteuer-kraftwerk

A quick web browsing determined Kraftwerk performs for two hours, prompt without openers. Kraftwerk is one of the groups who invented everything. Kraftwerk influenced Juan Atkins and his friends who invented Techno in Detroit.

DILLA.

One of my favorite definitions of Hip Hop from Ego Trip Magazine Book Of Rap Lists I couldn’t find online. Kraftwerk’s influence on Afrika Bambaataa allows a joke about Hip Hop being invented in 1970 Germany. I don’t know Kraftwerk’s opinions about factology.

DILLA.

Which returns us to fact that I was bored….

Kraftwerk and Krautrock music are credited with reinventing Germany after the holocaust killed six million Jews. Future was Germany’s only option.

After January 6, 2021 and Covid, I expected a reinvention of culture after Fascist Trump lost. Instead of a reinvention, Trump’s culture of dishonesty continued to make everything boring.

I looked at Kraftwerk as an Oasis. I decided we’d give this promoting riding COTA another adventure.

I’m extraordinary at riding the number 2.

I gandered at the bus riders. There was a man with sculptured hair wearing a Rush t-shirt. The man’s hair was neat without a fade. I was impressed at the curl at the bottom. He didn’t have a mullet either. I was amused this man’s composition of appearance. He looked as if he liked smart music, I felt like he watches Dr. Who and perhaps read Ulrike Meinhof

I asked him if he was attending the Devo Concert. I’d spent the evening before with looking at Devo online. I saw Devo played the Warhol Kaws opening in Pittsburgh.

He looked confused at my question because there wasn’t a Devo concert.

I realized I’d said Devo. I corrected, “You watching Kraftwerk tonight.”

KRAFTWERK.KRAFTWERK. KRAFTWERK, KRAFTWERK.

The man said, “I wanna see Kraftwerk but I’m broke.”

I wondered if I interrupted his reminiscing of Ulrike Meinhof with a reminder that the COTA riding Rush fan wasn’t watching Kraftwerk either.

I hoped he’d rented a film from CML.

I wondered if people who were weird, and smart who liked Kraftwerk had money.

I jumped off the bus at Nationwide. I walked into the Arena District. I saw a huge line for proto-everything. I was relieved. Kraftwerk, like Turnstile, Nas, and Kendrick Lamar proved Trump’s dishonesty hadn’t ruined Columbus.

I walked in. I glanced over the balcony. The entire room was filled with those who appreciated the future without fascism circa 1970. I contemplated I was standing in a balcony.

Kraftwerk are performance legends who use a large screen with text. Ralf Hütter, Fritz Hilpert, Henning Schmitz, Falk Grieffenhagen perform with keyboards in front of the screen.

If your new, I feel like should say for new people: If you like Daft Punk or Diplo…..Kraftwork invented electronic music performance.

I determined the balcony corner wasn’t quite experiencing Kraftwerk. I walked downstairs and ran into various groups of people I knew. Everyone was kinda humbled.

KRAFTWERK. KRAFTWERK. KRAFTWERK. KRAFTWERK.

I decided this was one of the most important music experiences of my life. I should stand somewhere. In conversation, people didn’t determine who would be a worthy opener for Kraftwerk.

YOU WILL LOVE KRAFTWERK.

Kraftwerk took the stage in Columbus, Ohio. The screen showed letters, and digits. Sesame Street, and Kraftwerk founded around the same time. I decided tonight I would pretend I was a child, and regenerate.

1981’s Computer World played. The words CiA, KGB and FBI were amongst important words flashed behind Kraftwerk. Communication, entertainment keep flashing behind men who picked outfits which aren’t outdated in 2024.

I’m thinking about the day Computer World was written. IBM introduced Personal Computers in 1981. Kraftwerk’s uses same computer image from the beginning of computers.

I’m thinkng CIA, KGB …Kraftwerk was there.

Russia used to have communism as their idealogical cool.

I spent 2016-2020 deciding Russia embraced branding errors by supporting Trump’s right-white fascism. Socialism at least sells the idea of economic equality. Instead, Russian became another empowerment of ignorant racism. On October 7, 2023 Russia supported Hamas raping Israeli women.

I demand a ceasefire. I think Palestinians should become the new Japanese. World War 2 learned inflation and destroying a country creates fascism. Our country, oil money, and world stability makes Palestine’s current oppression unnecessary.

Japan didn’t lose their culture after WW2. Japan should exist as a template for Gaza.

Russia didn’t say this. Russia applauded Palestine raping Israeli women.

Republicans must be experiencing cognitive dissonance. Republican love Putin but demand genocide of Palestinians.

I’m sorry…I forgot this was a Kraftwerk review…..

The words CIA/KGB were relevant in my point.

Kraftwerk played Home Computer/ Computer World 2. While I was contemplating computers…Kraftwerk segued from Spacelab into…Radioactivity, Radioland, Airwaves, the Voice of Energy, Antenna, Radio Stars, Uranium, and Transistor were performed while color changes looked design cool while we studied sound process from creation into distribution of music.

Kraftwerk’s enigma was that Kraftwerk sung about the human condition while revealing the process of technological evolution.

Kraftwerk’s The Man Machine, and Electric Cafe contest is the 1970, 80’s and 90’s computer evolution with an understanding that cars once changed everything.

People didn’t complain once Autobahn started. Autobahn song length is 22:43. We left the information superhighway for Europe’s famous freedom road.

Kraftwerk followed Autobahn with the only song which sounds like a radio hit. The Model is under 4 minutes.

The Model sings, “She’s a model and she’s looking good/I’d like to take her home/it’s understood.”

RIP Steve Albini.

We spent over an hour contemplating the internet, radio and all things that could be communicated.

Kraftwerk proved they weren’t port dorks by taking us on a bold spin around the Autobahn.

We landed at: “She’s a model and she’s looking good/I’d like to take her home/it’s understood.”

We all agreed: Fucking attractive people is fun.
