Song of the Day - Crippled By Pizza

Horse the Band - Crippled By Pizza from Pizza (2006)

Today, on top of eating a good pound of pizza, I ate the worst pizza I have ever eaten. I'm not going to say who made it or where to find it, but let it be known that cold peanut butter and bacon pizza is a big no-no in my book.

Song of the Day - Spoon

Can - Spoon from Ege Bamyasi (1972) and remastered (2004)

Here's a bit of throwback... It's the Krautrock legends, Can and their German smash hit, "Spoon".

While this album is hugely popular to cool cats today due to "Vitamin C" , Can actually got their big break in Germany with this closer track that was originally added as filler. According to the internets, "Spoon" reached top 10 on the German charts and sold over 300,000 copies.
