Speaking of me being a sucker for #krautrock things, I just came across a bootleg of Damo Suzuki's final CAN show on the #InternetArchive, (I'd actually downloaded it months ago and promptly forgot about it)
It fucking rocks. A total gem, y'all

Collegamenti #6
Prosegue la saga degli appunti e dei collegamenti casuali ed eventualmente sconnessi.
Inizio con una bella foto che ritrae Holger Czukay e Damo Suzuki dei Can agli Inner Space Studios a Weilerswist. I Can, una di quelle band che è in grado di innalzare di parecchio sopra il livello della media la musica di quelli che riesce a influenzare.
Dai Can a un’altra band che adoro, i Silver Apples, ovvero Simeon Coxe e Dan Taylor, tra i primi a credere che si potesse mischiare il rock con l’elettronica e tirarne fuori qualcosa di nuovo. Era il 1967-1968, addirittura. Consiglio molto, oltre all’ascolto dei primi due album degli Apples, questo articolino di Randall Roberts che racconta la storia della band e dell’idea che ci sta dietro: prendere dei vecchi oscillatori usati dall’esercito americano durante la Seconda guerra mondiale per disturbare le comunicazioni dei nazisti e farci della musica. Notevole.
Dalla musica sperimentale, eseguo un volo pindarico e atterro nella Tuscia viterbese (la terra che mi ospita), sul suo suolo ammaccato e sulle sue falde acquifere in sofferenza. Mi danno l’opportunità di farlo due articoli apparsi su «Dinamo Press» il mese scorso. Li firma Bengasi Battisti, ex sindaco di Corchiano, che molti di noi conoscono per le lotte in difesa dell’acqua pubblica e per quelle contro le coltivazioni estensive di noccioleti affamate di fitofarmaci che coprono la provincia. I temi affrontati dai due articoli sono le cave dismesse e abbandonate che attendono la bonifica, e l’uso degli erbicidi a base di glifosato. Riguardo a quest’ultimo punto è significativo, sottolinea Battisti, che lo studio scientifico che è stato usato per decenni per sostenere l’innocuità del glifosato sia stato recentemente ritirato perché si è scoperto che era stato manipolato dalla Monsanto, azienda produttrice del famoso erbicida Roundup. Vedi il caso alle volte?
Nei movimenti, qualcosa si muove. Il mese scorso è nata l’Alleanza Antiautoritaria, con l’obiettivo di costruire un fronte comune per arginare l’avanzata degli autoritarismi, per combattere fanatici e simpatizzanti degli uomini forti ovunque si annidino, anche a sinistra, per costruire solidarietà internazionalista con chiunque si trovi a subire il bastone dell’autorità. Io non so cosa richiedano i tempi infami che stiamo vivendo, non amo né i profeti né il profetizzare, ma se l’internazionalismo sta messo malino, e mi pare difficile controbattere a quest’affermazione, allora il dargli una spinta è un obiettivo che condivido profondamente, AA è come l’aria fresca in una notte estiva e diventa un collegamento stabile di questo blog.
Ancora dai movimenti: il Gruppo Anarchico Germinal-Trieste ha buttato giù un’analisi collettiva della questione palestinese intitolata «Calpestiamo tutte le bandiere dal fiume fino al mare». Avrei voluto scriverla io una roba così, ne sentivo la mancanza e dunque ve la rifilo.
Torno alla musica e mi avvio piano piano a chiudere la porta.
Here Be Monsters, 2016 – Artwork by Kim HiorthøyNella puntata precedente ho lanciato l’hashtag #LaMusicaDel2016 per ricordare gli album bellissimi usciti dieci anni fa; accanto a me c’era The Peace and Truce of Future of The Left dei Future of The Left. Saltando di disco in disco, è ora giunto il turno di Here Be Monsters dei Motorpsycho. È un album morbido per lo standard dei Motorpsycho, ma contiene delle melodie fantastiche, dei gran viaggioni psichedelici e una bellissima cover di Spin, Spin, Spin. Ha anche una gran bella copertina, non vi pare? E qui mi sovviene una domanda: il 2016 fu l’anno delle copertine minimali bianche coi disegni neri? Adoro questi collegamenti del caso che probabilmente non significano niente.
Infine, visto che parliamo di copertine, segnalo questo articolo che a sua volta segnala uno studio interessantissimo della storica dell’arte Carissa Kowalski Dougherty intitolato The Coloring of Jazz: Race and Record Cover Design in American Jazz, 1950 to 1970 («Il colore del jazz: razza e design delle copertine dei dischi nel jazz americano, dal 1950 al 1970»). Io vorrei leggere solo cose così. Lo consiglio molto.
Delle copertine analizzate ne prendo in prestito una. Rappresenta Underground, il disco del 1968 di Thelonious Monk, ed è l’immagine della sobrietà :-) Il design è di John Berg e Dick Mantel e la foto è di Horn e Griner.
Fine.

Ich ❤️ dieses Album:

Spoiler for an upcoming blog post on the Austrian band Kreisky, but now listening to this live improv set from Austrian noise band MORD (who had 3 Kreisky members), featuring the one and only Damo Suzuki on vocals.

RIP Damo Suzuki, a unique artist and an eccentric who fit right in with the improvisational, adventurous spirit of a band that was forging a new path in the '70s.

📌 "This concert from the 'Karussell für die Jugend' (Carousel for the youth) is the earliest complete concert recording of the Cologne rock band. The new singer #DamoSuzuki had only joined the group in May."
Just heard of Damo Suzuki’s passing. Shit, shit, shit. I saw him live in Liverpool a number of years ago. Can from 1970-73 were groundbreaking.

Un profluvio di tributi a Damo Suzuki. Lui e i CAN sono stati veramente più influenti di Gesù Cristo:
Molto bello il messaggio di Geoff Barrow dei Portishead, lo riporto qui sotto:
“From the moment I heard Can on the radio (some weird Mark E smith show) (I also thought it was a new Manchester band I’d not heard of) I knew my musical taste and output would never be the same again.
Quite easily the Band with the biggest influence on me.
And it’s quite easy to hear their influence in many other bands also like Blur/Radiohead and many many others.
I was extremely lucky to interview Irmin Schmidt for a Book he was writing about Can.
And I didn’t hold back on asking every Can question I could think of (the interview lasted 5 hours) [...]

Me acabo de enterar del fallecimiento de Damo Suzuki, músico que puso voz a los mejores discos de Can y responsable de crear sonidos del futuro en los primeros años 70. Hasta siempre, amigo.

@junior42 Bin traurig. So ein sympathischer kreativer Musiker. Erst vor wenigen Tagen hatte ich tatsächlich an ihn gedacht und mich gefragt, an wie vielen Projekten er außer an #Can wohl noch beteiligt war (es werden echt viele sein) und ob wir ihn nochmal sehen. Jetzt das. 🕯#damoSuzuki

For the first album spotlight, I had every intention of going with our very first submission. However, as we learned this morning that the brilliant Damo Suzuki has left us, we’re going to take a look at number 245 on The List, CAN’s 1972 masterpiece, Ege Bamyasi, submitted by myself (Mastodon handle: buffyleigh).
CAN, an experimental German band that is considered a pioneer of the “Krautrock” (or kosmische Musik) scene, had a number of different vocalists over its 20 (or 30?)+ year run. Suzuki was perhaps the band’s most well-known vocalist, if not their most beloved. While the previous album and first to feature Suzuki, Tago Mago, is heralded by many to be CAN’s best, Ege Bamyasi was my personal introduction to the band.
In particular, the first time I knowingly ever heard CAN was via the incredibly catchy song “Vitamin C”, featured in Baz Luhrmann’s short-lived Netflix musical drama, The Get Down (2016-7). The funky beat and Suzuki’s arresting way of singing made the song stick in my head for days, until I finally tracked it down. I immediately ordered a copy of Ege Bamyasi on vinyl, and it’s since been one of my most played albums.
In honor of Damo Suzuki, give Ege Bamyasi – or Tago Mago and/or Future Days (his final album with CAN) – a spin. A live album that features one of the last shows Suzuki played with the band is also set to come out later this month, so keep an ear open for that one.

I never listened to “Oh Yeah”’s backmasked vocals in reverse before. I think they might be a bit more intelligible than the forwards vocals? It’s neat how the song is almost a musical palindrome.
One of my all-time favorite albums. RIP #DamoSuzuki
Oh damn, Damo Suzuki died. One of a kind performer and a key part of classic Can. RIP legend.
