This was the first episode of the "Actual Paddock" side of the show, where I curate a playlist with a loose theme tying it together, and talk about the choices and what they mean to me. This time the theme was Krautrock (using my own very broad definition) and was broken up into blocks of more traditional kraut, noisy industrial kraut, kraut adjacent neo jazz, and a kraut / non kraut section. This time the playlist was bookended by two songs off of the latest album from one of my favourite krautrock bands, Hyperculte.
Hyperculte - Les malheurs du siécle
Thee Oh Sees - The Daily Heavy
Can - Spoon - Live 1972
Gnod - People
This Heat - Horizontal Hold
Sly and the Family Drone - Singularity 09: Every Knife In This House Is Mine
Von Spar - I
Sam Gendal & Sam Wilkes - THEEM AND VARIATIONS
Faust - It's A Bit Of A Pain
Hyperculte - Cabanes
Recommended listening: Gnod - JUST SAY NO TO THE PSYCHO RIGHT-WING CAPITALIST FASCIST INDUSTRIAL DEATH MACHINE
