Is 'Deadly Doris' where Die Tödliche Doris got their name from or do both things refer to something else?

Just picked up the box on lunch break. Psyched.

lol, thought at first that Damo was singing "WAITING FOR THE STREAKER!!!"
― tylerw, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 17:14 (eleven years ago) link
i am only two songs in, but i am enjoying this so far.
think that one's Malcolm in fact.

Listening to it now, someone remind me what the chorus of Spoon is again plz?

I just read the actual lyrics to Halleluwah, I've listened to it over 40 times and never recognized anything past "Did anyone see the snowman..." besides "Mushroomhead, Oh Yeah, Paperhouse"
― frogbs, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 14:31 (eleven years ago) link
This is totally worth it for Disc One alone. Been jamming that non-stop.
― dronestreet, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 14:33 (eleven years ago) link
I like the live takes, but they don't add much to what was already out there. I kinda prefer the Peel Sessions. :O
I just plunked down for it. Dead Pigeon Suite is awesome, seems like it was cut up and spread throughout Ege Bamyasi in different places.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 14:38 (eleven years ago) link
and never recognized anything past "Did anyone see the snowman..."
Is it "Did anyone see the snowman/walkin' with the Lord"? That's always been my suspicion.

The Mooney tracks Streetcar and Midnight Sky are awesome. There is lot to love on here, damn that Pitchfork reviewer who said it could have been condensed into a single album.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:11 (eleven years ago) link
Midnight Men and Graublau are stunning, this isn't mere archive material its Can!
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:16 (eleven years ago) link
yeahhh, graublau might be my fave thus far. i mean, yeah, sure they could've just put out a single disc of the highlights, but wtf, i want to hear it all.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:19 (eleven years ago) link
I can't look at pitchfork at all anymore. Editing this into a single disc release completely misses the whole point of this release imo.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:20 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, basically if jaki liebezeit is playing on it, it's worth hearing.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:21 (eleven years ago) link
i would've settled for a 40-disc set of all the tapes, thank you very much.
― dronestreet, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:26 (eleven years ago) link
what's the breakdown between malcolm/damo/post-damo tracks?
― fit and working again, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:46 (eleven years ago) link
What's the actual lyric for the bit in Halleluwah that I've always heard as 'something for my ba-athroom HALELULELULELULEWAH!'
― Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 16:51 (eleven years ago) link
searching for my brother?

I got "searching for my brother" from a lyrics site, but was never sure.

At the moment, I have heard there are plans for an eventual vinyl release but I have not seen that in writing anywhere.

There's a really interesting article in this month's 'Sound On Sound' magazine on The Lost Tapes.

Around 50/30/20
This box set is a HUGE boost for Malcolm Mooney. I love 'Can Delay 1968' , but most of disc 1 kills stuff on that album, some rivals 'Monster Movie'Mooney's performance on "Bubble Rap" is the best I've heard him. And I've flown his flag since the 1990 Can reissues, when I first got into them.
― ma ck ro ma ck ro (mackro mackro), Thursday, 21 June 2012 15:49 (eleven years ago) link
I love the Malcolm tracks in Unlimited Edition, too.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 21 June 2012 16:24 (eleven years ago) link
right, I always disliked Malcolm until I heard Unlimited Ed.
― frogbs, Thursday, 21 June 2012 16:25 (eleven years ago) link
Huh. Unlimited Ed. was always a malcom debit for me. For me he shines best on Delay. And maybe some day my brain will forget 'Hoolah, Hoolah'.
BTW, speaking of Unlimited Edition. Did it always have that epic length track at the end or was that added for the remasters? I seriously don't remember it from the CD i owned way back when.
― Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Thursday, 21 June 2012 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
it was edited on the earlier cd?
― fit and working again, Thursday, 21 June 2012 16:46 (eleven years ago) link
I don't know about Delay...both the "why must I beee the theeeef" and "froggeeee and toadeeee eeet the tangerine seeds, one by one" songs are really grating
― frogbs, Thursday, 21 June 2012 17:05 (eleven years ago) link
"Father cannot yell", never bettered but then again who could?
― Mark G, Thursday, 21 June 2012 17:17 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I'm not the biggest Monster Movie fan but Father Cannot Yell is one of the 4 or 5 best things they ever recorded.
― Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Thursday, 21 June 2012 17:18 (eleven years ago) link
Aw. "Thief" is amazing. "Little Star of Bethlehem" is great too if you imagine they're making fun of the Red Hot Chili Peppers 15 years before they formed.Mooney is more grating and less dynamic & deliberate than Damo. And it takes more time to get into Mooney. But he's just as perfect for Can as Damo, just in entirely different ways. Mooney is more like Iggy, if Damo is Bowie - singing context only. (not a perfect analogy, I realize)
― ma ck ro ma ck ro (mackro mackro), Thursday, 21 June 2012 17:53 (eleven years ago) link
I love the version of "Little Star" on Radio Waves, but I don't know if that's Mooney or Damo!
― frogbs, Thursday, 21 June 2012 18:07 (eleven years ago) link
Little Star of Bethlehem is one of the best ever can songs. Waterlilies in the bath tub. He seems so lovable does Malcolm and the poor guy was on the verge of a nervous breakdown as a Can member. I thought Bubble Rap was a Damo track?
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Thursday, 21 June 2012 21:41 (eleven years ago) link
Little Star is kind of an oddity in the Can catalogue, as I actually can understand the lyrics
― frogbs, Thursday, 21 June 2012 21:42 (eleven years ago) link
19th Century Man is another class Malcolm performance.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Thursday, 21 June 2012 21:42 (eleven years ago) link
And maybe some day my brain will forget 'Hoolah, Hoolah'.
But it's so good. Love that album.
