YM Krautrocknacht! Or, It's Gotta Be More Than Just A Suzuki Thing...


From Stockhausen to his student, Holger Czukay, wearer of mustaches and bassist to the anarchist collective that is Can. These days, Krautrock's been consigned to nerdy insiderism, but as the television audience will tell you, that's all just a construct, man. And so we enjoy the music for what it is worth, which is a lot. And imagine that if YM had any musical ability whatsoever, this is what we'd be doing on a Saturday night. This is what office monkeys the world over would be listening to on FM Radio today, stuck on the I-95 on the way back from another grueling day at work, if the Velvet Underground hasn't mucked it up and let Sgt. Pepper beat 'em to the punch.

Next: NEU!

UPDATE: We've swapped with Spoon, since there's been some complaints. We're nothing if not interactive.
