I need to pick up Lost Tapes finally. All these tracks are great.

Well I mean Monster Movie is only 4 songs long and the 2 least impressive songs already made it so...
As someone who ranked "Mary, Mary So Contrary" #2 on his ballot: HMMPH. >=(

Yeah I voted for Mary higher than any other monster movie track

Oh I think I like "Graublau" enough but parts of it sound too much like a dry run for "Mother Sky" for me to vote for it.
― Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Wednesday, 27 July 2016 21:52 (seven years ago) link
Irmin Schmidt's playing on "Half Past One" is one of my favorite things ever.
― timellison, Wednesday, 27 July 2016 22:00 (seven years ago) link
xp ... although the Hawkwind-meet-James Brown passages are pretty dope. Yeah, maybe could've voted for it.
― Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Wednesday, 27 July 2016 22:00 (seven years ago) link
xxpost hahaha I didn't mean it like that mary mary is still an amazing song. The least interesting tracks for me on an album like monster movie are still better than the rest out there.

Can I keep talking about "Half Past One?" It's also Michael Karoli becoming a great lead vocalist.

The 'Cannibalism' comp has all of 'Monster Movie' except 'Mary', so this poll is already better.
(Same goes for the 'Anthology', which is where I started with Can. Actually, that's not true we all started with 'I want more' obvb.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 27 July 2016 23:00 (seven years ago) link
'The Lost Tapes' is gonna win with regard to track counts, clearly.

Just catching up (I was out of town yesterday and today) and loving the results so far. That #1 vote yesterday for "Empress and the Ukraine King" was from me -- my introduction to the band about 20 years ago on a great mixtape from a friend.
― pleas to Nietzsche (WilliamC), Thursday, 28 July 2016 00:09 (seven years ago) link
Happy to see "Outside My Door," "Uphill" and "Come Sta, La Luna" all place.
I did anticipate "Uphill" placing higher, though - such a great groove.
"Come Sta, La Luna" is something I came to appreciate more and more by playing the Babaluma LP as I was falling asleep... It took me a while to get into the post-Damo Can, but that album feels like a companion piece to Future Days.

Motherfunker! Yesterday I was working on the banners for today and suddenly my screen went black, apparently my macbook is 2011 and they have a critical error with the graphics card that fucks everything up. Been able to save the files but no idea when I'll get it working again... even thinking about buying a new one but I'm so mad right now.
Rollout might have to be postponed until next week :/ terribly sorry to leave you hanging.

Moka that's awful - so sorry. Did you know that Apple will replace your motherboard etc. for this very issue? It's a free repair programme and lasts to the end of this year for 2011 machines.https://www.apple.com/au/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
― MatthewK, Thursday, 28 July 2016 21:05 (seven years ago) link
Yeah I already left it with them, it's a hardware error on their part. Free fix however two weeks without computer :/
I have the files I'll see if I can get someone to lend me theirs.

To sate those in the interim, the Eno/More Dark Than Shark Twitter feed has all kinds of great Can rarities linked – sessions, live concerts, outtakes, etc. Highly recommended. Here's one:

My mother bought a macbook air like a year ago and she doesn't use it at all so I'm borrowing it until mine comes back. I might be able to post the rest this week after all, I just need to pirate photoshop since I left my original copy in mexico city. Don't tell the feds.

Seems like an appropriate time to post this. Apparently Jaki played this solo impromptu to fill time during a power blackout. It's actually from 1976.
