Amon Düül II - Yeti

Put it on after hearing the news of today…

„Superficially, Amon Düül II can be linked to countrymen Can and Faust. After all, all three German groups were children of the 60s, who locked themselves up, dosed on psychedelics and improvised music accordingly. But as far I'm concerned the similarity ends there!“

I like Can intensely and love Faust.
But bowled over by Amon Düül II …

A few more biased reviews here…

Upholstered footage from 1970..,

A new rabbithole ;-)).

Ended with some ZTT 12‘.
Frankie - Warriors (turn of the knife) mix

@Aetas not sure if they are known as well in Germany but the past decades for Randy Newman have been mainly soundtracks for children's movies (which i still think are expertly crafted pop songs) but his work in the late 60s into the 70s is where the real gold is

Just returned from a trip to SF to celebrate my 21st anniversary w/wifey. Amoeba gods were shining down on me and blessed me with 2 holy grails. Whilst out there I scored a tape that my buddy made.

99% sure I've posted this in the podcast thread before but this is a great one from the LITA crew
Just finished the most recent Nancy Sinatra episode but they do everything from Hazelwood to Hosono

@GraemeE ️

@endo another great one by Mr N

@GraemeE nice score! I’ve been looking high and low for a copy of push push but they are hard to come by.

I found some much needed Bonnie in a killer little shop in Guadalajara today…they let me kick back with a couple Victorias and test drive the goods…may have to go back while we’re here

[GraemeE]

@68degreesorless I hate to say this but I actually passed up a copy of that one a few weeks ago at goodwill....

The perils of going mid workday during lunch - got an urgent call on a fire (metaphorical) that needed to be put out so had to leave and head back to the office

[68degreesorless]

@GraemeE dammmmm. Well, on the bright side, this gives me hope. On the dark side, work can always wait for that chest hair and the Duane Allman slide work to accompany the flute.

@endo revisited this album after reading Jeff Tweedy’s most recent book. In it he talked about his love for “In Germany Before the War” and I’ve been haunted by that song ever since. That whole album is so good.

Tweedy’s book is called “World Within a Song”

[GraemeE]

@SKT said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

Tweedy’s book is called “World Within a Song”

I've read once and listened to the audiobook once - will likely revisit every couple years

Great book

[SKT]

@GraemeE I need to listen to the audiobook

[endo]

@SKT I don‘t know Jeff Tweedy or the book, but that song is certainly hauting in its dark beauty. Untill recently I didn’t know it‘s about a child murderer. May have a look at the book. Thank you.
