Let’s listen to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard!

You’re welcome.

Let’s listen to Ronnie Wood!

You’re welcome.

Say… What on earth is going on with the timing in this song ? Sounds like it’s dropping beats every few bars, but it still seems to flow nicely – doesn’t sound like math rock.

Let’s listen to King Crimson!

You’re welcome.

A rare three-drummer combo!

And, oddly, in the center on keyboards, is Bill Rieflin, who has been a drummer for all kinds of bands, from the Revolting Cocks, KFMDM, Ministry, NiN, to REM and Robyn Hitchcock.

Let’s listen to Chopin!

You’re welcome.

Pour one out for America.

Let’s listen to Can!

You’re welcome!

This was an outtake, recorded 1969. But I’ve never heard it before today.

To my ears, it sounds like the “post-rock” bands from the mid-90s: Sea And Cake, Gastr Del Sol, Tortoise et al.. And in turn, they’ve all heavily influenced my hobby.

Which means this is yet another example of how Can was way ahead of their time.

And the reason I picked Can is because the tune below, which sounds nothing at all like the one above, popped up on Shuffle:

Let’s listen to The Budos Band!

You’re welcome.

Let’s listen to The Jubalaires!

You’re welcome.

Let’s listen to Django Haskins!

You’re welcome.

Squeeze!

And when you’re done with that… Roxanne, but every time they say the name, the song speeds up 10%.
