I love that song! Harry Chapin did it originally in the mid 70's I think. Good stuff.

It's wonderful to open the forum and see your name on a thread! I'm so glad you are back.

Tago Mago by Can.



This is without a doubt the weirdest album that I own an actual physical copy of. You have to be in a certain mood to listen to Can - you certainly don't do it for fun (though I never fail to crack a smile at Damo Suzuki's psychotic ravings and other noises in "Peking O"). These guys were bold, experimental, and decades ahead of their time. Hell, Tago Mago might even STILL be ahead of its time if it were released today. Also, their lead singer is not singing in his native language (indeed, I often wonder if he's singing in any real language at all), and sings every word like he's in the process of eating a particularly sticky peanut butter sandwich.

But never mind that - these guys rule. This album is frigged out, funky, and almost danceable for occasional twenty second intervals. If you haven't listened to this, do so before you die. I certainly wouldn't put it in my top ten favorite albums (or twenty-five for that matter), but I might put it in my top ten most interesting ones. If nothing else, it's great for clearing out unwanted party guests.

These tracks were all gleaned from BandCamp again, mostly free, and range from the relatively bland eurobeat style to some that are more rave (Mirage) or even drum-n-bass (Cloudgazer), before finishing with parody group The Beatle Bronies and the rock stylings of TVhugs.
