Initially released on the Elektra label late in 1972, Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968 featured a smattering of one hit wonders and no hit wonders from the not so distant past. Although the double album was hailed by critics, contemporary record buyers viewed at it as little more than a curiosity at the time of its [...]
I received a message from Stuarto requesting I cover his show in the late afternoon hours of Friday, March 8. After a minute or two to think about it, I agreed. In all the times I've covered for his show over the past year and a half, I have never done a show that gives a nod to his show, which often features more mainstream music including a handful of tunes from the 60s and 70s. For March 8, I decided this needed to change. I pieced together quite the show for the first two [...]
Stick around long enough and you can watch musical trends come and go...... Punk fades in the early 80s, goes underground and re-emerges with a (commercial) vengeance. Heavy Metal morphs through various re-incarnations, even Dance music evolves from Disco to House to Techno to whatever Step/Trap/Shake thing is happening. And ...
Here we are at the end of another week, and it's time once again for our Friday Flashback Track Of The Week. This week we go all the way back to 1967 and a cut off of the 13th Floor Elevators 1967 LP, Easter Everywhere. This is Levitation. Have a groovy weekend everybody.
You might remember Pesaro, Italy's Brothers In Law released their first single around this time last year. The band are back and set to follow up that stellar piece of pop with their first album, Hard Times for Dreamers to be released on 30 January on WWNBB and CF-records . The first single from the album is called Leave Me (Shadow II). It's a darting guitar laden slice of perfection that hits the heights that the Kitchens of Distinction and House of Love use [...]
I like days when we get a bunch of great songs that somehow magically all gel together. That or the RS fans are getting smarter of what they send us. Anyway, here's are two videos by bands we dig: Speedy Ortiz and Sex Jams filtered for your auditory and listening sonic loving pleasure. First up is a 902s guitarist wet dream in the very capable hands of the indie band Speedy Ortiz with their video debut of "tiger tank" via Wreckroom. This is from a coming record of their's I would assume. Real solid playing [...]
The Fact That You And I Exist
Words by Brendan All Hallow's Eve is upon us! Wednesday is the day of celebration, the dance of the dead. There's no need for a suave/slutty costume; there's no need for candy; there's no need for jack-o'-lanterns and cobwebs and tombstones. All you need are some friends, some pumpkin beers, and some good fucking music. That's where we come in. Here's a mixtape of Halloweeny tunes for you to play at your party. Some of these bands are as old as the hills, and some I quite literally just heard about [...]
Austin Scaggs and his Cabin Down Below Band have turned their annual celebrations of the music of Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young and Tom Petty into a small cottage industry. What started out in the basement of a small East Village bar are now must-attend events attracting an impressive roster of musicians to what amounts to a drunken karaoke party. For the first time "The Fests" will go bi-coastal to celebrate the music of Tom Petty, as both New York and Los Angeles will get their own unique versions on this annual celebration. Tomorrow night at NYC's Webster [...]
In Roky we trust. "Climb the ladder of your own design in my fire engine..." Go on, you know you want to. The boys from Television often climbed said ladder in concert, to great effect. This blistering take was recorded at CBGB's, way back in 1975. 13th Floor Elevators - Fire Engine Television - Fire Engine (live '75)
So as we sign off for the week, our Friday flashback track goes all the way back to 1967. It is the13th Floor Elevators from their 2nd LP, Easter Everywhere. This is Levitation .
A death match vs. The Pooh Sticks would have been no contest, I'm afraid. Sorry, Pooh. Today's selection for Cover Friday bears a strong thematic resemblance to last week's Balancing Act cover of Captain Beefheart. Once again, a fairly obscure band from the late '80s (well, very late '80s: their first album came out in 1990) covers an eccentric, cult artist from the '60s. In this case, though, the eccentric artist, Roky Erickson, leader and songwriter for the [...]
This is all sorts of rad, so we had to pass it along. Austin Psych Fest shared this gem from the 1990 covers compilation, Where The Pyramid Meets The Eye; A Tribute To Roky Erickson. " The album was produced with the intention of raising money and exposing his music to a wider audience." So if you haven't already, check that out, you can pick it up at all the usual digital music retailers.

The Youth skriver i en pressemeddelse, at de er fast besluttede på at prøve at få 60’ernes bluesprægede garagerock tilbage på teenage værelserne. På dette cover af Low’s “Just Like Christmas” gør de en så god figur, at det ikke er usandsynligt, at de kan nå i land med den ambition.

New Animal are from Atlanta, Georgia which is basically two guys Kris Hermstad and Derek Burdette, actually now I think they have fired their drum machine and have a drummer to drag on stage. Which is the only respectable thing to do. What may have started off as a bed room recording experiment [...]
Bull Of The Woods (an International Artists release) is the Elevators most controversial offering. Some fans claim it's their best LP but many, myself included, feel Psychedelic Sounds and Easter Everywhere are the group's finest discs. Frequent personnel changes, drug busts and Roky Erickson's fragile state had destroyed the original core of Sutherland, Hall and Erickson. Stacy Sutherland was the only original member left by 1968 and he made a game effort by putting together some newly recorded "solo" tracks with older, stray Elevator tunes that were cut during the previous year. The excellent [...]
