Hi, people.

Hi, people.

My name is Alec, and I created this blog to share things I find interesting with people I do not know. Sometimes it will be playlists, albums or single songs. Sometimes it will be a story. Sometimes it will just be scattered ideas I may have recently thought or heard.

For the first post, I figured I would just provide a link to the blog's namesake song - Can's "Bel Air." It is a roughly 20-minute adventure into the mystical, recorded by one of the greatest bands ever, German krautrock group Can. The track is simultaneously buoyant and forceful. They experiment with numerous genres, sometimes at the same time, transitioning between examples such as funk, post-rock and psychedelic without jarring the listener, thanks to the exceptional skill of every member of the band.

I could (theoretically) write a novel about this song and how great it is or how it makes me feel, but nothing would be able to describe how "Bel Air" warps the mind and spirit.

Enjoy.
