Radio Fragment - "2-0-2-0, labeled 'The Enjoyment of Long-Form Krautrock'"
by Jeff on Aug.25, 2010,under Weekly Show
What can I say? Sometimes there are pieces of music it helps to have a Penfield Mood Organ to really get into...and tonight's 20 minute excursion into german avante garde rock might be one of them. Still awesome, though. Give it a try.
Quite a range I've got for you tonight. Beside the aforementioned epic Krautrock odyssey by Can, there's Shatner's "Tambourine Man", instrumental Beastie Boys, some Violent Femmes, oh, and the only song with performances of all five members of Pink Floyd -- and a whole lot more as well. Don't let the Can scare you off...set those Penfields and turn it up!
