Can - Live in Cuxhaven 1976 (2021)
This recording is as close to improvisational “free” jazz as I’m willing to ever venture. Can never just play their last record, they deconstruct, reconstruct or completely destroy it at every opportunity.

commentsPicture this scenario; “let’s have a look around this vehicle, pick the nearest object and use it to name our band”.
commentsMy second and only other RSD purchase was this little gem from Dunedin’s, now long-defunct, Cloudboy. While I didn’t know anything about this record, or the musicians involved, it was a record they were running out of around the country very quickly.
commentsSoundtrack from the Guillaume Podrovnik Documentary. It’s Record Store Day (RSD). Translation = an overhypered, completely contrived day to celebrate the market-induced scarcity and fleecing of fully suspecting vinyl buying punters.
