#NowPlaying - had i been buying LPs in 1967 & only had debut albums to go by, there's a very good chance that country joe & the fish might've been my favorite #BayArea band, at least at first. way sharper, weirder, & more outwardly #psychedelic than the first albums by the dead, airplane, quicksilver, etc. (though "surrealistic pillow" came out before it). should probably revisit their earlier EPs. @vinylrecords@Corry342
Fucking Amazon sent me the wrong record (I never order from them, but they were the only place I found what I was looking for). It’s hard to be mad at the result - however- as this is stellar.
had an amazing time at our local sphere last eve, totally get the hype! soul-rattling drone thunder by isaiah from earthless, 2 formed/formless sets by garcia peoples (with sub drummer), drifting vibraphone, balcony synth by kendraplex, invocation by erik davis, film by arik roper, the return of bubba's lights, etc. also, a spontaneous opening prayer, when a woman named river harmonized to the field recording i was playing of san francisco fog horns. (#psychedelic sangha at judson church, #nyc.)
Friends, followers and musically curious onlookers, I could really use some listens today! I'm an independent #musician who makes weird, #psychedelic#ElectronicMusic for listening to from the couch. If you're new to my oeuvre, this is the best place to start:
Eyes wide shut: Why closing your eyes intensifies psychedelic trips
A recent study suggests that exposure to visual stimuli can diminish the effects of #psychedelic drugs.
Happy #BicycleDay to all who celebrate. I used to embark on a trip every year in its honor, but kids and age caught up with me and made that impossible. I did write a track about it a few years ago. Have a listen, and if you're riding that #psychedelic bike today, I hope it helps propel your journey.
The Bevis Frond - Homemade Traditional Electric Jam
Most of the huge Bevis Frond catalog is just good #noisy post #punk#acid#pop art #rock songwriting but every once in awhile they just cut loose. Not sure there's a better example than this 42 minute improv session to wrap up an excellent live album (link follows)
You ready to hear about some #OPM (other people's music)? I'm going to try something different this week and add all of the music I'm covering in one thread, with the blog containing slightly longer versions of all of these linked at the end. LMK what you think of this format.
A driving rock song with a touch of psychedelia covering that most heart rending of technological snafus – losing everything you’re working on to a crash. Buzzing guitars and a vocal that would have seemed at home on some early ‘70s garage psych track are the twin engines powering this song, but the real treat is the bridge’s brooding #psychedelic guitar riff that comes in just over halfway thru.
I've picked up a fair few new followers since I last posted an invitation to #listen to Psychedelic Ghost Stories, my recent album. If you're new to my #music, this is the place to start:
10 tracks of dark, trippy, dubbed-out post-industrial ghostwave and wizard synth. May cause heart palpitations and excitability. Do not operate heavy machinery while under its influence.
Oh, and if you like it, say so and I'll send you a free DL code.
As promised, here's some free download codes! First up, a baker's dozen codes for my #psychedelic#scifi post-industrial electro-dub concept album Psychedelic Ghost Stories.
Cool, meat puppets are largely on bandcamp - the early SST stuff and later albums but not the mid period from Huevos to Too High To Die or No Joke (oh well, I have all those myself)
one of the all time great punk rocker 🤝 deadhead agreement bands
#Movie: Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway (2019). #Psychedelic Estonian parody and celebration of cheap 70s and 80s action cinema plus The Matrix. Movies just don't get weirder than this while still being fun to watch. Grade: great!
