I just told this story on an internal WFMU email list, but repeating it here because I think it's funny.

When my daughter was little, a video clip of the folksy indie singer called Feist performing on Sesame Street was making the rounds. My wife and I watched it with our daughter a bunch of times, who loved it. (As any two year old kid would.)

My wife has a mental block on band names, or at least she often confuses similarly named bands for one another. (Using "Ween" and "Weezer" interchangeably, for example.)

One day she emailed me at work after having watched a bunch of YouTube videos and said something like "none of the other songs by Faust have the girl singer, but I really like them."

And that's the story of how my wife accidentally got into Krautrock.
