Jaki Liebezeit deserve his own thread on WATMM. Come on, he was the human metronome or drum machine. We should worship him. Forever. I'm sure he had an influence on electronic music in some way. What an amazing drummer... R.I.P.

Yeah, he was awesome. :(

Loved his albums with Burnt Friedman, Secret Rhythms.

^^ i noticed friedman has a new record out. haven't listened to him in YEARS

btw: the guy that started worldstar hiphop is dead. gone too soon

Goddamn it, 2017!

discovering Can mid-teens was a revelation & a huge part of that was how locked-in their rhythm section could be

Krautrock veterans like Holger Czukay (78) & Roedelius (82) stagger the mind with their respective catalogs....some of the finest music from the 2nd half of the 20thC

this song, (the drumming esp) - was my gateway into the caniverse

could it possibly have been as good with a different drummer?

that video was blocked here, so went looking another version on youtube and found this, the song sounds pretty much the same backwards:

I wouldn't be surprised if that song in part inspired Radiohead - Spinning Plates.

But I think that about almost every Can song I hear.  "I bet this inspired Radiohead - ______."  And I always manage to convince myself of it.

i feel that way about the song radio head

:(((((((((

No

RIP Ollivander

One of the greats :(

Never forget heavens gate

One of my (few) favourite actors. So sad to see him go...

Aww. He was at a party in my house when I was a child apparently.

John Wetton played with King Crimson on some of my favorite albums of the band. Passed today of colon cancer.
