It is tempting to paint Damo Suzuki, the singer for legendary krautrock band Can, as some sort of musical shaman. And frankly, the video footage that exists of him makes it easy to do so. There is a film by Peter Przygodda that captures the German group at Cologne’s Sporthalle in 1972. At one point, a man arrives on stage to juggle three umbrellas — each a different color — and while a spotlight shines on the entertainer, Suzuki has the most magnetic presence in the room. Dressed in all red, he...

Jon Hassell, the avant-garde composer and trumpet player who collaborated with artists like Talking Heads, Brian Eno and Ry Cooder in addition to his explorations into “Fourth World” music, died Saturday at the age of 84.
“After a little more than a year of fighting through health complications, Jon died peacefully in the early morning hours of natural causes,” Hassell’s family said in a statement on social media.
“His final days were surrounded by family and loved ones who celebrated with him the lifetime of contributions he gave to this world– personally and professionally.

German krautrock pioneers Can will release a new series of live albums, with the first installment, Live in Stuttgart 1975, arriving May 28th via Mute and Spoon Records.
Mute and Spoon previewed the release with an excerpt from “Stuttgart 75 Eins,” the first track on the album. (With their freeform performance style, Can didn’t really have setlists, so Live in Stuttgart 1975 has been segmented into five sections, numbered and titled one through five in German.) The clip finds Can in the throes of an extended jam, drummer Jaki Liebezeit anchoring the...

For those of you that tuned into our first installment of The Deep End - Is the Sorting Hat Full of Sorting Hate? - might've been confused as to why we didn't post our second episode last week. Long story short, we recorded it early because Kim was headed to San Diego for Comic-Con and then she accidently took it with her. Needless to say, it was slightly forgotten in a Comic-Con haze (Seriously though, have you ever been? It's madness). But don't you worry. We're back.
For those that didn't tune in week 1, go listen to it right now. Or, stay here and we'll catch you up on the premise. The Deep End is a weekly segment were Meghan Carlson and Kim Wetter (that's us) take a look at a little slice of pop culture. We'll take one idea, person or thing and talk about it in the most "intellectual" manner possible.
