When can you down when the speed are you out?

You just don't want to this day or you ain't.

You can be down when this day or night. You can be off to you. Oh man, when I just want to keep it going to keep it going to go

And hello, welcome to the great albums podcast, bonus song Thursday.

My name is Brian. My partner, Bill, is in India with his wife right now, so I am going to be

flying solo tonight, and that song that you just heard was called Moonshake by a German band called Can. Now, if you're new to the

podcast, what we usually do on our main program is we take a different album of music and talk about

what makes it great, talk a little bit about our own experiences with the record and do a

track-by-track review, but since it's Thursday, we don't quite do that.

We just take a single song from a related artist, different album, and just kind of elaborate

on that and do a little bit of listener interaction as well.

Since our main program on Monday was another 10 great songs,

well, let's just call this the 11th great song.

I have nothing related to any of the 10 songs that we discussed on Monday,

but I love this song, I love this band,

and I figured that even though it's largely, you know, a bit of an obtuse kind of song, it's definitely worth talking about because Cannes is fantastic.

They were around in the late 60s and kind of threw out most of the 70s. Their primary

members were Michael Corolli, Jackie Lebezitt, Erman Schmidt, and Holger Zuchai. And they formed,

when Ermin Schmidt went to New York, he was kind of hanging around with like the avant-garde set.

And eventually sort of got turned on to the music of like the Velvet Underground and Sly and the Family Stone.

And, you know, he said that that music corrupted him.

And he went back to Germany and formed Cannes with these other three guys that were all kind of, you know, Jackie LeBizit was playing in like a free jazz group.
