Shownotes

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Can emerged as the baby boomer generation of post-war Germany, horrified by the recent past and wanting to boil rock and roll down to its essence. The guys welcome a special guest and discuss castle parties, avant garde film soundtracks, and stone age drumming
