Extremely admirable, even if only for the singer’s extraordinary haircut when viewed in profile. It’s the ultimate case of stubbornly refusing to accept something has gone. 😆

[Old Man Riva]

German art rock from 1972. Having a 1970s comprehensive school education we didn’t do German as a language subject, but, if pushed, I’d hazard a guess this translates as, “you’ll not be seeing this in Smash Hits”.

 

Anyway …

 

 

On a similar theme: From 1979, a groovy little number by the excellent Can. Bass was supplied by Rosko Gee at this point…

Fell about laughing at that.

The track is rather good to - will be searching out a bit more of them.

Was it intentional to have them walking past a men's hair salon (or barber as we called them back in the day) at 1.41? Maybe he's going back there to ask them to return his money

And at that very moment he sings “They told me a fairy story” 😮

It’s an interesting sound, isn’t it!

 

If you dig that then there’s a more recent artist, Dan Snaith, whose album, Up In Flames, is worth a listen. The artist is sometimes listed as Manitoba, and sometimes Caribou, depending where you look.

 

Here’s a taster…

I guess this is the only band I'll be listening to today...

I was listening to a 'shoot-out' comparison of various renderings of this, whilst getting off to sleep last night, which inspired me to listen further this morning, so here it is...
