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.

"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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
