Wow, I'm a little dizzy just from reading the playlist. "Moonshake" even!! Probably my favorite Can track, poppy and irresistible.

Glad you dug it, Chris! I am very guilty about always playing the same one or two Can songs, so this week's show demonstrated my efforts to break with tradition a little bit.
