nice Zorg haircut. sort of looks like Zorg too.
He had this haircut for decades. We all had it in the 00s, and I believe we copied Richie rather than Zorg 😀
oh, I was working then; must have missed it. 5th element was a great movie.
“Mul-ti-pass.”
lol
lol! it was *such* a good movie. way better than bladerunner.
Meh. Apples and oranges.
Apples are usually red, yellow or green. Orange is…
Oh that’s right. Sorry, but at least you have a cat that sings.
He was working as Plastikman in the early 90s; 5th Element came out at the end of the 90s.
At some level, his look may have influenced 5th Element’s idea of the future, like punk rock influence Blade Runner’s view of the fuure 10 years earlier.
oh, so *that’s* plastikman? tbh, did not like his stuff at all.
“tbh, did not like his stuff at all.”
To be real – your opinion of somebody’s music is irrelevant to whether or not they are important and influential.
So you did listen to it? Thought you were working.
He had a trimmer haircut before 2000, this style is afterwards.
I want to read a thesis on Drexciya! Or Air Liquide…
in the future your cab driver has interesting stories to tell.
“Did you know I have a PHD in techno?”.
rofl
what was your doctoral thesis about?
XTC and boom zack music?
Hahaha
i know you mean the drug, but XTC was an awesome guitar band; love’d ’em.
phd, lol. i’m a doctor of donuts.
Like him or loathe him – he’s made some savage tunes tbh
that was 30 years ago.
now he is living on past fame.
Sven got his museum in Frankfurt and Richie now gets pseudo accademic.
pfff, absurd
It would be interesting to see you say something positive about anything sometime.
Dear Dr. Techno, my party sucks, please help me, doctor. ^^
His 2015 album “From My Mind To Yours” did real well here in Detroit though.

Keep comments on topic and constructive.
“Relevant topics might include but are not limited to:”
so maybe we talk about this, maybe we dont,
maybe all of this is crap and we do something else
lol, they aren’t even sure what they want to teach
what is this?
techno courses at the clown university of philosophy?
That’s not how phds work. You can do it on anything, they’re just suggesting themes that would be relevant to the scholarship. You have to think up your own project and see I through like a book- it’s not a list of what to they are going to teach you.
I was looking at other liberal arts,
its, major subjects are these bum bum bum, minor subjects are these bum bum bum.
they can give you an outlook of what to expect.
I can’t make head or tail out of this.
and I can’t figure out either why you would choose to become Dr. Techno
why not pick philosophy or something decent like computer science instead? 😉
You will come across man things you don’t understand. That’s okay!
Thank goodness there are those in our world that are exploring new ideas and not paying attention to conventional thinking and silly boundaries.
