Originally, I wanted to make a post about my favourite Kraftwerk song and add Blaine L. Reininger's (of Tuxedomoon fame) song "Rolf an Florain go Hawaian" as a comment. But when searching for infos on Blaine Leslie Reininger on the internet, I found, that there was no Wikipedia article on Mr. Reininger. Of course, there seems to have been one, but it has been deleted: information on Wikipedia has it that:
"This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference. 22:51, 22 August 2010 Vianello (talk | contribs) deleted "Blaine L. Reininger" (Speedy deleted per CSD A7, was an article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble that didn't assert the importance or significance of the subject. using TW)"
Who the fucking hell is this (more horrible words) Vianello??? The best guess would be that it is Reininger himself joking. All other possibilities are horrible: there are articles on "musicians" on Wikipedia that do not even know how to tune their instrument.
So here is the song by Mr. Reininger from his 1987 album Byzantium (Les Disques du Crépuscule) and the information about him as it can be found on his own YouTube channel (blaineleslie):
