Earlier I was listening to Béla Bartók "String Quartet No. 5", on the record player.
You Tube being amazing, they have all of Bartók's String Quartet's uploaded.
The painting in the background of course, this is Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition VIII" from 1923, Kandinsky's early Bauhaus period....I love Kandinsky, one of my favourite artists.
This is the Allegro from "String Quartet No. 5":
Then I listened to Imarhan, who are Tuareg from Algeria and are on City Slang Records which is owned and run by some friends of our's in Berlin:
City Slang Records
Imarhan
The whole Imarhan album is completely astonishing.
This is Imarhan's song "Tahabort" which is amazing, incredibly intricate guitar work and in general just extraordinary noise, they're on tour throughout Europa this month and also March, we must go and watch them do their thing:
Edited to add comment.
Speaking of German TV, I love this even though I don't understand it.
Juliane Werding- Am Tag als Conny Kramer starb
I've been reminiscing lately. MC5 is probably my favorite band that no one seems to remember. Probably because they were just a little ahead of their time, being considered proto punk these days.

Juliane Werding- Am Tag als Conny Kramer starb
It's about the day Conny Kramer died from his addiction to drugs, it makes references to seeing lights and colours and joints, which suggest an Acid Trip and smoking weed. Although you can't die per se from taking LSD or from smoking weed, so he must have been taking Heroin or something but that's not referenced in any way in the song.

I don't understand the words, but I did look up the story behind the song. It is about heroin, which apparently was a big problem in Germany in the 70s. I was originally attracted to the song because the tune is from "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by The Band, but have watched it many times because I love her voice.
