since this is my blog...

this would be the appropriate forum for this, since I feel that everyone who sees this



I can't write enough to explain.

take mushrooms, listen to Bill Hicks.

live life, read books, devour film, culture, all these different forms just to finally say "hey, we actually did care", but when it all comes down to it, we just gaze at our shoes, or lightly tap on keys, nothing to show for it, nothing to stand up for, HOWEVER; we can create. not just life, but art. Life as art, one of the oldest modems known to our kind, but all realize that is key.

to sift the waves;
ride the peaks;
in all the great highs;
all the modern lows;


I don't want to be looked upon as a casualty or anything, just to say that I do serve a purpose, I can express myself in any way I choose, even with all this webbing cut down, no more bullshit.

FUCK! THIS IS A MUSIC BLOG!!!

(mainly)

I don't have anything to post, I'm not in a state to really recommend anything.


I'm listening to Ride's "Nowhere", and it's sounding pretty good right now.

The Fall - Psykick Dance Hall

Look, I really, really like The Fall. This is a three-disc, 49-track set of the earlier line-up's "spartan, post-punk", whatever, sound. It's Mark E. Smith. Repetition, repetition, repetition. The three R's. The man whose head expanded. Elastic man. That man. MES.

It's probably not the best idea to listen to all of this at once, unless you're truly one of the brave, but definitely give it a chance. Unless you already have a copy, then you can e-mail me and we can be best friends.

Cultural relevance, once again, proven.

Pebbles: Trash Box

For those of you that don't know, Pebbles is basically the cool cousin to Nuggets. Extremely obscure garage rock without a focus on musicianship per se, but definitely able to deliver a high number of stone classic tracks.

There's LSD ballyhoo, there's an ad for a wah-wah pedal, this is the ultimate in trash culture! Fashion a full-length epic around the gems of these 110 tracks. Not everything is amazing, and I'm still not hot on the idea of two Kim Fowley songs in a row, but 'The Trip' has grown on me. I even included it on my single-disc edit.

Compile your own, because this thing starts to peter out quality-wise, but it's a fun mood. Definitely good for drinking, or other medicinal apparitions.

Personal favorites include 'Green Fuz', 'Walking on Eggs', and a whole bunch of others. Also, 'I Fought the Law' is on here, the Bobby Fuller original. Awesome. A real good set.

Also, there's a French-sung 'Purple Haze'.

Psychedelic States: Arkansas in the 60s

This post is dedicated to the fellow members of the Boston Mountains Collective.

This compilation is less likely to change your life, but it just might change your mind about Arkansas. We are not all unintelligent "rednecks", a fine majority actually have the capability of an open opinion and idealized goals.

Then, there's Newton County, but Willie Nelson's 2nd favorite marijuana is from there, so suck it. :X

Just kidding.

:D

mainly from Little Rock, a few from Mountain Home, Russellville, even a Hot Springs.

no Harrison

Monks - Black Monk Time

You can read the Monks history elsewhere, here's the short version; Five American GI's in Germany form a band.

Garage, psychedelic, whatever term you use, this was the MONKS. Listen to this, their lone album, and join the cult.

Buy the re-issue if you want the bonus tracks, or not. It's your money, your choice, but the economy needs to be boosted, right? So support real music.

Or me. Whatever.

I'm a monk, you're a monk, we're all monks!

uh

I found a copy of Psychedelic States: Arkansas Vol. 1, so that may be uploaded at some point. Probably. It's rare! elusive! & shows that we did have an awesome music scene in Arkansas all along!

Plus, it's to "pass the torch" along to the Boston Mountains Collective.

my computer has some heavy problems right now, so posts will once again be limited!

I was planning on having the Pebbles: Trash Box up by now, but it's on MY hard drive, so now I'll have rip it from the CD's.. and you know how that goes.

slow & low

a request.

There's a compilation called Psychedelic States of the Sixties or something to that effect, and they issued an album of obscure psychedelic bands from Arkansas as a part of the series.

If anybody has a copy of this, or knows where to obtain one, please, let me know, either by comment or e-mail. thanks.

It's been at least a fortnight since I last updated, but I know what I'm going to post next. Be patient. And I hope you dig garage rock.
