Search and Destroy (Can)

PS, Sorry for appearing a fool, I thought this thread would end up with all the other 'Search and Destroy' ones, hmmm

am i the only one who likes _monster movie_ and _delay 1968_ - there's not really a comparison, and people who try to pull an either/or between suzuki and mooney miss the point entirely, but i still think the early work is quite excellent in a more VU-descended way.

And of course, my last name is a homage to the wondrous Can. Not that it's not my real name, oh no. No sir.

'Cannibalism'

I'm just going to hit my head against the wall for a while now.

It's all good, though, up through Babaluma, spottily thereafter until the Traffic guys make their appearance, then down the potty.

(cuz generally ppl weren't VU influenced much prior to 72-3, and it impresses the fuck outta me if can got there first, this side of the atlantic)

just listening to the peel sessions for the first time. i had no idea that they had unreleased songs this good just lying around

I've still never heard Delay 1968.

I love it - funkier and rawer than their following stuff, always incredible.
Thief, Butterfly and Little Star of Bethlehem are just great.

I love Little Star of Bethlehem. It has improvised nonsense/surreal lyrics, but they're SO good.

Soda pop is best in the morning when you don't have nothing to talk about

I made a little Can spotify playlist with a few lesser known things as well as some of the faves:

Also, while I'm here: Holger Czukay is playing at the Roundhouse in a couple of weeks, which I'm really psyched about!

Not where I got it from anyway

& is also up on youtube in entirety here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8L2m9xHXCc

but oddly not up on Dime which is where I think I got mine.
Though colchester currently is

interesting that out of reach is included.

wont be cheap

And here too (didn't know about this thread). He, and the German band he's playing with, do a respectable job.

Malkmus does Can

Search: anything involving Damo Suzuki.
Don't destroy anything. Bad Can is better than No Can.

Why did you revive 3 Can threads to pimp thay Malkmus thing that was released quite some time ago? It was done for record day iirc and it's not particularly mindblowing.

^^^

Surprised there hasn't been any response to the reissuing of Out of Reach with the rest of that box, if the band has disowned it. Obviously the Complete set isn't literally complete with out it but I thought they had consciously disowned it. Don't remember hearing it, so not 100% sure why it is so disliked by the band.
Does it have any redeeming qualities?

I really don't think it's bad at all, it's definitely worth hearing, but it is my least favorite album of theirs (I've never heard Rite Time, though).

He did a good job (I think) and I just learned about it. I picked a dead-ish thread first, then the somewhat off-topic Lost Tapes thread, then this one, which I hadn't known about (and where it belongs most, I suppose since it's general Can and active). Was it linked previously?

Hmmm, I wonder how many Pavement/Malkmus threads I can spam it to.

FP

fantastic post?

Nobody ever answered mark s' question!

They were. But there's a whole thread somewhere on earliest instances of VU influence.

Saw this vinyl box at my local shop today, looks gorgeous. Also like $640! o_O Dude behind the counter said they worked it out earlier this morning, comes out to $35 per record.

it would've looked better if it was in a Can

anyone know why 'she brings the rain' is the second most listened to can song on spotify? never thought of it as one of their bigger tunes

could really imagine kevin ayers doing that song

"She Brings the Rain", originally appearing in the 1969 film Ein großer graublauer Vogel (de) by Thomas Schamoni (brother to directors Ulrich Schamoni and Peter Schamoni), was later featured in Wim Wenders' 1994 film Lisbon Story, the 2000 Oskar Roehler film Die Unberührbare and Tran Anh Hung's film Norwegian Wood, released in 2010.

I would have sworn it'd be due to inclusion on a soundtrack for the Norwegian Wood movie and Johnny Greenwood/Radiohead fans listening to it a lot, but that soundtrack album has a couple other Can songs and not that one. Hmm.

doing some googling, the clothing brand undercover did a 'she brings the rain' line in 2012:

I remember hearing a JJ Cale song that I thought sounded a great deal like this. One day i'll have to trawl through JJ Cale songs to see if it really did. Walking bass, I guess. It's an unusual Can song in that it's not all that unusual.

haha yes!

"Crazy Mama" maybe? To my ears the Clapton version resembles "She Brings the Rain" more than Cale's.

This cover version that was in a Rupert Grint movie has a decent amount of views. Could be part of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcT4Y3BtqSs

It might have been Out Of Style which is apparently only on some CD versions of 5. He does sound a lot like Malcolm on this!

Maybe there are a lot of Kendra Smith fans on spotify (re: brings the rain).

It's not on the sountrack album but it is in the movie.

there is a surprising amount of covers of this song on youtube.

incredible photo of a dog watching Can in 1970

Maybe they're doing "Aumgn" and the dog is just waiting for his cue.

cleaned it up a touch

omg i love that dog!!!!

best revive

Nice pair of Hush Puppies there too.

Holger has very long legs

blessed image

:D

so this was how Can were being marketed in the music press in 1977 - it's a re-coloured reproduction of an advert that appeared on the back of Sounds magazine

and this was the UK tour they did for the album, they played some quite exotic locations:

oh dear

btw i stole that image from this insta - https://www.instagram.com/vivastrangeboutique/

lots of very funky can merch for sale there. didn't realise i needed a delay 1968 bomber jacket and yet here we are

Omg want want want the purple Soundtracks hoodie

I'm holding out for the Ege Bamyasi boxers tbqh

13,200 Japanese Yen equals 165.63 Canadian Dollar

oof, sorry Monster Movie sweater :(

That shop is amazingly specific! I'm happy for the people who finally get to buy the DNA cushion cover they've been dreaming about.

The MapRef longsleeve from April is pretty dope.

I used to spend time in that neighborhood where that shop resides back when it was just foreigners/diplomats and weirdos who didn't enjoy the traditional Tokyo suburbs. Can't believe there are hipster shops there now lol (catering to foreigners still I guess?)

Love that Green DELAY bomber jacket. Would definitely buy but it’s way too expensive at almost 300 dollars and that’s even before considering shipping costs.

god damn that is sweet

OMFG @ the Carol t-shirt, also The Fall

I somehow missed hearing "Shikako Maru Ten" until just recently. It's so amazing. It easily could have gone on Ege Bamyasi.

OMFG @ the Carol t-shirt x 2, plus most of their other stock.

Ohi Ho Bang Bang must surely be up there with the most niche demand merch on the planet.

omg at that shop, want all those durutti shirts

Those photos if vini in his fac 14 jacket! <3 but also :(

Though they did miss a trick by not making it out of sandpaper obv

stretching the definition of the thread a bit here, but check out swedish band komeda covering "mushroom" in 1998-
