Dead Man - Neil Young

The "Elephant and Castle" is derived from a coaching inn of that name on the site. The earliest surviving record of this name relating to the area is in the Court Leet Book of the Manor of Walworth. This local court had met at "Elephant and Castle, Newington" on 21 March 1765. Previously the site was occupied by a blacksmith and cutler ? the coat of arms of the Worshipful Company of Cutlers features an elephant with a castle (possibly meant to be a howdah) on its back, which in turn was used because of the use of elephant ivory in handles.

Can's music has been used in edgier but more accessible movies ever since. Keyboardist Irmin Schmidt went on to produce scores of scores, including Wim Wenders's Alice in the Cities. Wenders used She Brings the Rain in Lisbon Story, as did Oskar Roehler in his 2000 film No Place to Go. And the band reunited to do a track for Wenders's Until the End of the World. There's also a lot of Can in Lynne Ramsay's Morvern Callar (the book was dedicated to bassist Holger Czukay), and their funky Vitamin C cropped up in Pedro Almodovar's Broken Embraces. Apparently Can's biggest earner, though, was the track Spoon, which was adopted by hit German TV cop show Das Messer. The good news is that the best of those "lost" movies featuring music from Can Soundtracks is available for the first time. This is Jerzy Skolimowski's Deep End. A teen drama set in a swimming baths at the end of Swinging London, it features the most legendary song on Can Soundtracks: Mother Sky, which plays as the hero trawls through sleazy Soho, steals a cardboard cut-out, makes the acquaintance of a prostitute with a broken leg and buys a hotdog from Burt Kwouk. Mother Sky is quintessential Can: a mighty 15-minute psychedelic wig-out with crazy screeching guitar, minimalist bassline, clockwork drumming and indecipherable Damo Suzuki chanting. It's garage punk with a longer attention span, math rock with a human soul, and prog without the self-indulgence. Nobody could get away with that now, not even Radiohead.

CAN - "She Brings the Rain", originally appearing in the 1969 film Bottom ? Ein gro?er, graublauer Vogel by Thomas Schamoni (brother to directors Ulrich Schamoni and Peter Schamoni), was later featured in Wim Wenders' 1994 film Lisbon Story, the 2000 Oskar Roehler film Die Unber?hrbare and Tran Anh Hung's film Norwegian Wood, released in 2010.

anything by CAN

Personally I find The Bishop scarier than most 5hitholes I've ever drank in

Castle is the only proper pub left in the area - though the beer could be better at least it's got A JUKE BOX

The Lives of Others

He might have still been in Cardiff, watching over the taxi driver that decided to use his vehicle as a weapon and mow down women and children in the street, too busy to get to Rwanda too

Wonder where he was when that madman went around shooting 6 and 7 year old kids the other day

Lots of them in the Teesside area at the moment

They only come in sixes, now in a world turned upside down, if six were nine that would be something, maybe Sainsbury's would do a BOGOF

sorry sue but i never ever really felt comfortable in folk clubs, can't define why but i don't really want to be part of that thing, nothing to do with the actual music, just the general scene, just not me, brings out the bolshevik in me

Just what we lacked ...another lovely cafe....not enough of them in the area by all accounts :-)

Looks more like sick squid than three hundred quid to me like though but

Unbeatable defy anyone to beat this

What a crazy world we're living in

Look, I know it's good or I wouldn't have put it up there in the first place (which is a hard thing to admit in the 1st place) , but when you do that you expose yourself to complete tw*ts who hide behind login signatures - what fricking stupid world are we living in where people just can't be who they are and do what they do ? There is a land ...beyond the spoken word, communication only some have heard, and if I show you the highway turning to take, keep it a secret or all of your mirrors will break

Can't be done - too many chin strokers and observers - ticking off their i-spy books of music and groups wot I have seen -nobody will let their guard down and get involved - they're all just pi55ing in the wind - As Will Hey said (or Moore Mariott) Your wasting your time.. why the frick would you try exposing your inner music to these vacuous tw*ts in the 1st place, tried it and failed, waste of frickin space, let them all get back to watching Masterchef on TV

I was just thinking the very same thing myself, only got ill once she'd ben caught, probably thought she was queen of the castle before then though but

Beware skimmers

My cats always seemed to rather enjoy accompanying Mr Shankar but couldn't always get the 1/16th note bends

Well flick me - didn't realise I was competing with CNN, in fact I didn't even realise it was a competition to get news out quickly, I though it was a forum not a news feed. I'm so fricking stupid I must be from Barcelona

Ravi Shankar has died Here's my tribute http://soundcloud.com/kingy1066/08-irish-raga-1
